Nice, but a little blah. I mean, anyone can really do that if you ask me. I feel like I could do that style with a box of hair color and a curling iron on myself. It was Jennifer-ish…but not really. Blah.

Tyson
I have the same gripe about Tyson–it’s just a little boring for me. Honestly, I think that he’s someone with lots of potential, but he’s kinda getting lost in this competition because his personality isn’t standing out. You look at him and are like “What was his name again?” Nothing makes him that special.

Jim
Good lord. Honestly, if I were going to Gwen someone in 2 hours, I would bleach the front as much as possible and worry about style. Gwen is ALL about style. I mean, who cares about color? Here hair’s been every single color under the sun.

Evangelin
Cute, cute cute! I knew Evangelin would be in the top three this week–she made a good choice looking at the wall of contestants, and the cut was fabulous. I’d totally let her do my hair!

Tabatha
I have to admit it–as scary as this lady seem to be, she knows her stuff. In my opinion, she should have won. Her color was beautiful, and that cut was amazing…and all in two hours.

Theodore
*laughs at judge’s armpit comment* Oh gee, Theodore…what happened tonight. First, he was so cocky about his color, and then he did this hurried plain-Jane look. I’m not a fan of this hair cut at all. The color is cute, but I also think he got lucky and it turned out alright at the last minute. It looks nothing like Jessica Simpson.

Danna
I like this hairstyle, but really, it’s not all that different than the model’s original hair. I mean, it’s lightened, and of course it’s styled, but when the girl washes it out at home and does it herself…it won’t look much different. I think she’ll be disappointed. There’s some real potential here, so I hope to see better things from Danna.

Dr. Boogie
Dr. Boogie is constantly playing it safe. He amazed me in the coloring short cut competition tonight, because he made a mistake and turned her hair blue and then had enough time to fix it. That said, I think he needs to step it up a little bit. I like his cuts and styles, and if he boosts just one notch, I think he can really blow everyone away.

Anthony
Sexy. Polished. Fun. Anthony’s cut really was great. Top three? Definitely. Winner? Eh. I still think Tabatha deserved the win on this one. I do have faith in Anthony’s instincts, though, and I think he’ll make it to the end.

Ben
I loved Ben’s color, but the style was just off…which is really fun because Ben said early in the show tonight that he doesn’t do a lot of color, he’s more into cut and style. Here, thought, it just doesn’t work for the girl. It’s Ok. It isn’t hideous. I just think he could have done better, especially since he was one of the three that knew ahead of time what his client wanted.

Daisy
Hunny, if that was my client, I would have said “Look, some people might think I’m a bitch, but this is a competition and you’re going to listen to me. Her client was a total jerk though, especially on the runway. I mean, even if you aren’t happy with the style, you work it. I’m glad Daisy stayed though…I like her, even if she does talk a lot!

Ok, as is usual from the second episode of a reality show, my clear favorites/least favorites are beginning to appear. They’re still changing a bit as I get to know the stylists’ personalities a bit more (which may not even be their true personalities, because we all know how Bravo likes to play the characters!).

I’m surprised at this, but I really enjoy this show! I am no fan of Top Design, and hope it just goes away. But I have had some serious hair dramas, so this show strikes a chord with me - just like Runway did, because I love fashion (even if I can’t wear the really great stuff). I’m really rooting for Tabatha - scary, creative, wonderful Tabatha. Attitude RULES!

Anthony and Tabatha both did a good job. I actually thought Tab was going to win this one, but I’m glad Anthony ended up winning. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders. And how ’bout that Daisy? She’s quite a character.

[...] One prime example is in the new Bravo series Shear Genius. Allison from Reality on Bravo gives us a recap of a recent Celebrity Hair Challenge in which the stylists were asked to recreate the clients’ dream celebrity hairstyles. Not surprisingly, one client sought to imitate Jen’s hair, specifically the tousled look that she sported at the Derailed premiere: [...]
