Tonight on Shear Genius Season 3 we are left with Brig, Jon, Brian, Matthew and Janine. The Short Cut Challenge this week is to do a formal hairstyle for 5 high school seniors that are getting ready for their last formals in high school. The hitch is that all the girls are African American. The guest judge is Kimberly Kimble, celebrity stylist to Beyonce and Mary J Blige.

 

Jon about has a heart attack, he has done two African American hairstyles in 20 years. Brig feels culturally challenged. Janine has done Lil Kim’s hair and is confident with the challenge. Kimberly’s advice is to “feel the hair, and understand how to manipulate it.” The winner gets 1st choice of model in the elimination challenge. Matthew does a color change, Brig builds upward with a hair piece, Janine does glamorous and fun, and channels Gwen Stefani. 

 

The judges think that Brig’s is too high fashion. Matthew’s has good color, but looks dated (Brig thinks it looks like the model’s mother’s hairdo). Janine’s is age appropriate, Jon’s is not polished enough and Brian’s looks a little too young. Janine takes the win, and not only does she get to pick her model, but she gets to assign the other ones in the upcoming challenge.

 

In the apartment, Team Janine and Matthew are talking to Brian about Brig. They think she has alienated herself, but Brian thinks she is playing the game. Janine thinks Brig is mediocre at best.

 

For the elimination challenge, the guest judge is Estelle. She is hosting a party to listen to her new album and the stylists will be styling 5 of her VIP guests with looks from the 1960’s and 1970’s. The looks will be judged on the red carpet.

 

Janine picks her model. Brig knows that Janine will give her the model with the longest, thickest, curliest and frizziest hair and to her chagrin, she does. The stylists have 90 minutes and will be judged on creativity, technical skills, and how well they interpret the theme of the album into the hair.

 

Brian wants to channel Edie Sedgwick. Janine says she wants to do a Diana Ross look on her model and is completely annoyed when Brig decides to do a Diana Ross look as well. Brig says her “sole purpose is to rain on the Wonder Twins parade” referring to Matthew and Janine. Matthew is doing a big blonde fall on his model.

 

After the red carpet, the judges think that Janine’s is exactly what Estelle asked for. Matthew’s is good but the color doesn’t match. Brian’s model looks like a heroin addict (ummm….you mean, Edie Sedgwick?) and they think he got too caught up in the look and forgot the hair. Jonathan hates Brig’s. Jon’s color was great. 

 

Janine and Jon are the top 2 with…*sigh* Janine winning. Can you say “predictable”? 

 

Brian and Brig are in the bottom 2, and Brian’s addict look sends him home but not before he tells us all to Google Edie Sedwick.

I hope Brig stirs it up more next week!
