04.08.10Shear Genius Winner: Brig!Crazy like a fox, Shear Genius Season Three winner Brig Van Osten out played the rest of the contestants. Check out what she had to say for herself in our interview! Hair on the Brain: Congratulations on winning Shear Genius. Were you expecting the win or were you shocked? Brig: I was completely shocked. I thought there was no way the judges were going to appreciate [the runway hair]. I knew Jonathan wouldn’t. But I looked at it and I loved it, because I had never seen anything like it before. I pulled something out that wasn’t inspired by someone else’s hair. ...

03.21.10Part 2: Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant BrianFor those of your who have been dying for Part Two of my interview with Brian Buterbaugh, the eliminated contestant from Wednesday night’s Shear Genius, sorry for the delay! It’s been a crazy week full of the Three F’s: flying, family and funerals. I’m settling back into LA and finally got a second to transcribe this. It's worth the wait though--full of juicy tidbits. Brian is nothing if not totally candid. I wonder why the editors didn't show more of that on the show? It's also interesting to see what he has to say about Brig. Seems like Brian, April ...

03.18.10Part 1: Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant BrianOn last night's Shear Genius, I thought maybe Brig might go home... But who are we kidding? She's in it till the end. Instead, pretty boy Brian Buterbaugh was sent packing. I had a nice chat with him this morning where I discovered he's read my blog at least once! Check out Part 1 of a 2 part interview. I have to head home for a funeral for a few days, so the second part of this juicy interview will come later this weekend. I hope this delicious Brian nugget will keep you all satisfied till I get back. Trust. ...

03.11.10Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant AprilWell, the person I wanted to get kicked off of Shear Genius last night didn’t get the boot. I was gunning for Brian, big time. First of all, I can't remember his name half the time and I’ve been writing about this show since the beginning. Bad sign. And secondly, he didn’t try to make his model look good during the Elimination Challenge and that really bugged. But still, April went home. Throughout the season, April stuck to her guns and put her own spin on the challenges. During last night’s precision cut Short Cut Challenge, she was unapologetic about her ...

02.25.10Shear Genius Episode 4 RecapOK, bad news first. No exit interview with this week’s booted Shear Genius contestant Adee… He isn’t doing interviews. Hmm. Is he scared what we might have to say to him? I was going to try to be nice! Since there is no interview, let’s do an episode recap and then there is a special treat, so check back later... First up was the Short Cut Challenge, which featured celebrity stylist Harry Josh--otherwise known as the guy who does Gisele Bundchen’s hair. The stylists had to incorporate fresh flowers into their hairstyles, and try to make the hair and flowers look ...

02.18.10Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant Faatemah!Did you see last night's Shear Genius? It was a super amazing episode, as always. Ken Paves pops up for the Shortcut Challenge, and the stylists have to give extensions to men--with varying degrees of success. The Elimination Challenge forces the stylists to work in teams, although Brig works alone because no one likes her. They style models for sexhay romance novel covers, and Mathew and Janine's team wins. Yay! With Mathew winning top prize for the night. Sadly, one of my favorites, Faatemah, is sent home, when clearly Adee should have gotten the boot for not even completing the ...

02.11.10Interview with Janine from Shear Genius Season 3!Are you guys watching this season of Shear Genius? Last night was the second episode of the season, and if you’re into hair, you must check out this show. While it’s on, I'm in my happy place. In one hour, Orlando Pita, Jonathan Antin, Kim Vo are all doling out hair styling advice, there are major hair tragedies happening, plus, serious hair mastery. Brilliant! Faithful HOTB readers may remember that I interviewed Irene from Hairroin Salon in Hollywood about the rad short haircut she gave Karla of Karlascloset.com. Well, the owner of Hairroin Salaon, Janine Jarman, is on Shear Genius and ...
