Brig Van Osten won Shear Genius Season 3 on Wednesday night. The orange-haired celebrity stylist from Simi Valley, Calif. edged past Janine Jarman and Matthew Morris who finished second and third respectively.

Shear Genius Season 3 Episode 10 was aired on April 7th, 2010 on Bravo. The title of this episode was “Who Will Prove to Be Shear Genius?” In this episode of Shear Genius, the final three competitors had to style six models for a fashion show.

Brig was the dark horse amongst the three competitors on Bravo’s reality show. Janine was favorite amongst the audience while Matthew was Judge Jonathan Antin’s golden boy. Matthew also had support from Camila Alves and was expected to win Shear Genius Season 3.

Shear Genius 3 has been dominated by Matthew and Janine as they have consistently kept winning the challenges. However, since the last few weeks Janine has been sliding and Brig has been catching up. Even in the final episode, Matthew won the Shortcut Challenge while Brig won the Elimination Challenge.

The final episode of Shear Genius Season 3 featured fashion designer Henry Duarte. He teamed up with the final three stylists for their biggest challenge. This episode saw a collection of models that featured laminated hair in a striking array of colors.

Linda Wells, Editor in Chief of Allure magazine was on the panel to judge Shear Genius. Her insight on runway hair helped Brig Van Osten to win Shear Genius 3, specially after Jonathan Antin had criticized it. Brig’s futuristic looks earned her the big cash prize at the end.

Shear Genius Season 3 was truly exciting and memorable. Many congratulations to Brig for winning the ultimate $100,000 prize and proving to be the best amongst the 12 competing stylists.

No eliminations on Episode 8 of She...

Posted at 6:24 AM • No Comments

Shear Genius Season 3 has already been exciting so far. The judges made Bravo’s reality show even more exciting this week by not sending anyone home this time around.

There are four stylists left now, Brig, Matthew, Janine and Jon. All of them were safe after Episode 8 of Shear Genius Season 3.

When these remaining stylists arrived in the salon, they learned that other competitors must select a tool, a style and an inspiration for them to use on their model. This was their task for the Shortcut Challenge, which was judged by celebrity stylist Mark Townsend.

For the Elimination Challenge, the stylists are charged with updating hairstyles from classic Hollywood movies for an editorial-style photo shoot. This challenge was judged by Allure’s Editor in Chief Linda Wells.

After judging everyone’s styles, Matthew was declared as the winner. The Judges said that Matthew was able to successfully modernize a very old-fashioned look, while keeping it just as sexy.

During Episode 8 of Shear Genius 3, Brig and Jon were the bottom two in the Elimination Challenge. Ideally, one of them had to be eliminated from the show. However, both of them managed to hold their places as no eliminations were made.

The judges didn’t send anyone home this time around, but should they have? You be the judge! Give your views about the judges decision here: www.bravotv.com/shear-genius

Shear Genius Season 3 loses its you...

Posted at 4:01 AM • No Comments

Bravo’s creative hair-styling competition series Shear Genius saw the elimination of another stylist in Episode 5. Amy Michleb from Toronto, Canada was eased off as she could not impress the judges during the elimination challenge.

Amy is a young and dynamic stylist who is actively involved in the hair industry. She was the youngest stylist on Shear Genius season 3 which has gone international for the first time. Her elimination means that the competition is over for the youngest competitor.

The elimination challenge on Episode 5 of Shear Genius 3 was that the women will be styled in 1940’s hairstyles of finger waves and pin curls. The guest judge was Robert Vetica, a Hollywood hairstylist.

The stylists were given a challenge in which their models had husbands who were all currently serving in the military overseas. Their hair had to be given a 1940s style so that the women looked beautiful when they filmed messages to their men.

Amy, April and Janine found themselves among the bottom three as judges gave their verdict. Amy struggled because her hairstyle was turning 1930’s depression era. The judges came down on Amy, telling her that it wasn’t a style, it was a set, and that led to her elimination from Shear Genius season 3.

Amy’s husband – Woody Michleb, an award winning stylist himself was featured on ScissorBoy’s cosmetology program. In that episode, he demonstrated new hairstyling trends for Fall/Winter 2009.

After Amy’s elimination from Shear Genius 3, there are seven stylists who will now compete for the ultimate prize of $100,000 and prove they are the best of the bunch.
