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. ...

04.08.10Shear Genius Runner Up: JanineHair On The Brain: Congrats on making it to the top two! I was sad when you didn’t win. I’m sure you’re getting a lot of that today. Janine Jarman: (Laughs) Yeah, I’m okay with it though. I’m just getting started. HOTB: When you were standing in front of the judges with Brig, what were you thinking? Janine: It was really kinda Twilight Zone-y. Because I had it all pictured in my mind that it would come down to me and Matthew and may the better person win. And I was like, huh, ok. I didn’t picture this! You just never know. I ...

04.01.10Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant JonAlthough Jon Steinick looks like an evil genius in his promo shot from last night's Shear Genius, he's actually super good natured and kinda zen--er, zen after 15 espresso shots, of course!) Check out my interview with Jon where he dishes on which judge's photograph was on his bedroom wall in high school, what fellow contestant wowed him, and (yes) what he thought of Brig... Hair On The Brain: Congratulations on making it to the final four! Jon: Thank you, thank you thank you. HOTB: I was bummed that you were eliminated last night. Jon: You were? (Laughs) It’s funny because it was my ...

04.01.10Bring It On, Bitches!Did you guys watch last night's episode of Shear Genius? Even though I saw it coming from 100 million miles away, I still screamed NO! at the TV when Jon was voted off. Although the other option was Janine, which would have sucked too. Bottom line is that they both got majorly screwed, and I'm sure they knew it. Brig should have gone home last night, but reality TV fuckery won. In a few hours I'm interviewing Jon. (Psyched!) Next week's Shear Genius finale isn't going to be the same without his hilarious one liners. Maybe if he'd done it ...

03.25.10The Higher The Hair, The Closer To GodSo! If you watched last night's Shear Genius, you'll know that there was no one for me to interview this morning because no one was kicked off last night. I was disappointed. First of all, I like interviewing the eliminated contestants. And secondly, it's a competitive reality show. Someone is suppose to go home at the end! The trick of keeping all four worked the first few times we saw it on a reality show, but by now I just feel annoyed when it happens. Kick a bitch off! However. If someone was going to go last night, you know ...

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. ...

03.04.10Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant AmyLast night on Shear Genius... Well, I almost lost my mind screaming at the television. Brig WON you guys. I hope there is some kind of model assistance program sponsored by Orlando Pita for Brig's models because she's straight up terrorizing hair. Shaving the back of her model's head in the Short Cut Challenge? Those intense upswing bangs in the Elimination Challenge? Those are not livable bangs. They are just not. Someone needs to slow her down with the theatrics. Remember: Hair is important! And sadly, Amy Michleb--the youngest and totally cutest contestant on Shear Genius--was sent to pack her shears. ...

02.25.10“For The First Time I'm Scared to Death"So you read my entire recap of last night's Shear Genius, right? ;) Well, I promised a special treat and here it is! A sneak peek at next week's episode, which promises to be a very special episode... Love those. The seven remaining contestants are charged with styling the spouses of active-duty soldiers. The stylist's challenge is to transform these strong women into a classic 40's glam look for a video message they will film and send overseas in a moving presentation of love and support for their husbands. It seems to not matter as much who is a cut above ...

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 ...
