Shear Genuis 3- The Spiral of My Emotion

The Spiral of My Emotion
February 17, 2010

In this weeks shortcut challenge the stylists have to use extensions to give men sexier longer looks. Ken Paves creator of HairDo Clip-in Hair Extensions was the guest judge for this week's challenges. With Adee gone, due to food poisening, there is one less contender for this challenge. Faatemah and Amy end up in the bottom two which is where Amy seems to find herself in almost every challenge. Due to her client's dissatisfaction with his "1980's trailer trash" look and Faatemah's poor attempt at a sexy Johnny Depp ponytail that ends up looking more George Washington. Matthew pulls out another win, making his models blonde curls fuller and sexier and making his model look younger and even better. As a result of this win Matthew will have an advantage in the elimination challenge.

For this week's elimination the stylists will team up to create sexy looks for a romance novel photo shoot. Matthew has the advantage of pairing up the teams and choosing thier models. He pairs himself with Janine, also in the top 2 for the short cut challenge, who refers to Matthew as her 'gusband" (gay-husband). Since there are only 9 stylists left Brig is flying solo and will receive an extra 15 min to style her models.

Most of the stylists seemed to work well together with the exception of Adee and Faatemah who can't seem to communicate. On set the judges feel that Faatemha's model looks like she has two cinabons stuck on the top of her head. Matthew and Janine worked very well together both in planning their looks to on set touch ups. Overall the judges were pleased with their final look which put them in the top three. To everyone else's surprise along with her own Brig also made it into the top. In the end Matthew ended up with yet another win. Adee and Faatemah found themselves in the bottom two and while I feel that Adee and his never ending excuses and poor attitude should have sent him home weeks ago, Faatemah is the one to get cut. The judges felt that her model's hair was overstyled and did not fit the theme of romance hair. In her exit interview Faatemah reveals that she is surprised yet relieved to be going home.
