Reality on Bravo

As part of national Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day, I’ve invited my younger sister, Jess, and my younger cousin, Katie, to review this week’s episode of Shear Genius! Neither of them get Bravo channel at home, but they went online to view the pictures of the finished product, and I have to say–some of their comments match up exactly to what the judges had to say!

And so, without further ado, the Shear Genius review by Katie and Jess:

Tyson

Katie: This hair style looks like bed-head and not done. It looks flat. I don’t like the color ether.

Jess: At first glance, I thought “Oh that’s really cute!” But then I looked at it again and the proportions started to bother me. The one side is nice and flowing, but the other looks very square and clean cut. Pick one or the other dude.

My two cents? Katie and Jess are right on! Tyson had first pick of model and of cutting instrument, and his hairstyle ended up looking flat and uneven. How does this guy always win the short cut challenge and they fail miserably at the elimination challenge?

Evangelin

Katie: I like a lot but it is not MY style. It looks great on her though!!

Jess: I like the idea of this one but not the execution. The color is beautiful really brings out her eyes but you can’t really see one of them because it’s hiding in the shadow of her bangs. It also bothers me that some of her hair is flipped in and some of it is flipped out.

My two cents? This was my favorite cut of the night and I still can’t believe she did it with hedge clippers! I think Katie hit the nail on the head when she said that even if its not your style, you can appreciate it!

Tabatha

Katie: I like this one a lot to! I love the layers and the length.

Jess: I like this one. It looks nice on her. Finally a cut with a cute set of bangs! I only thing I would have done differently is make it I little bit shorter so it’s above her shoulders, but that’s just my preference.

My two cents? Tab’s in it to win it. She gets my vote–she’s frank and hardworking, and I can really admire her tenacity.

Theodore

Katie: I do not like this at all. Especially with the high lights! NOT FOR ME OR ANY ONE ELSE!!

Jess: I don’t really like this one, but I’m not really sure why. I think it looks too much like a giant mass of hair. You can’t really see what the cut looks like. It reminds me of my hair in the morning if I wash it the night before and forget about brushing it. A giant puffball. The color looks nice though. Other than that I just don’t really know what to think.

My two cents? Sorry, having trouble giving it–I’m still laughing of the image in my head of my little sister’s hair in the morning! Let’s just say I totally agree with the girls on this one. It was Theo’s night to go!

Danna

Katie: I do not like it at all! What were they thinking when they put her hair in front of her face like that? Also it is to short. I would not wear that at all.

Jess: I don’t really liking this one at all. Her hair is completely covering half of her face. The color isn’t bad except she looks like she hasn’t gotten her hair colored in a while and her roots are growing out. It looks a little sloppy.

My two cents? Again, I have to agree with the girls. Danna, what have you been thinking lately? I had high hopes for you!

Dr. Boogie

Katie: It’s okay. It’s to short but I do like the little bit of hair in her face though.

Jess: I like the idea of this cut but not the execution. It looks really sloppy. The part isn’t straight and it’s really frizzy. It’s not a lot wrong, but it make a big impact on how the style looks.

My two cents? What the girls didn’t see is that Dr. Boogie admits that he’s been playing it safe. They picked up on that, though–Boogie’s hair is “ok,” but not that great. He has potential that he’s not showing us!

Anthony

Katie: I don’t like the bangs but I like the style of layers. I would wear it if there were no bangs.

Jess: This hairstyle is definitely not my favorite. After just looking at it for a second or so I already am not a fan of it. The bangs are to long. The rest of the hair cut doesn’t even look even. When you look at the camera straight on, the haircut should look mostly symmetrical.

My two cents? His cut was an improvement on the original hair. It’s ok. I do think that Anthony has the potential to make it to the finals now that I’ve seen a few of his cuts.

Ben

Katie: I love it! The color and the style of her bangs to the side tike that. I would wear that style.

Jess: This hair cut looks really nice for the model. The color looks very natural and it makes her eye color stand out. The style seems to fit her very well. I wouldn’t really want this style myself but it looks great on this women.

My two cents? I tend to disagree a bit to the girls–it’s ok, but not my favorite. It is better than many of the others, howerver!

Daisy

Katie: I like the choppy look. I would wear it gladly.

Jess: This style reminds me of Ben’s only more youthful and carefree. If I could pull it off I’d get my hair cut like that. The only problem I see is that her hair is a little frizzy. Daisy’s hairstyle is my favorite by far. It’s youthful and flowing. But
best of all the bangs look nice! Most of the styles that with bangs didn’t look right because the bangs looked funny. Daisy got the bangs and the whole picture just right.

My two cents? Is Jess channeling the judges or what?!?! That is pretty much exactly what they said about Daisy. The “choppy” look Katie is talking about is due to Daisy using box cutter to cutting the hair. I’m impressed, and even though she talks a lot, I like Daisy.

Thanks, girls, for a GREAT review! I love you both!
