Hosted by Golden Globe nominated actress, designer and entrepreneur Jaclyn Smith, the second season of Bravo's "Shear
Genius" offers a behind-the-scenes look at the competitive and creative
world of high-end hairstyling. Famed celebrity hairstylist Kim Vo and
Allure West Coast ... moreeditor Kelly Atterton serve as lead judges on the
series. Accomplished stylist Rene Fris serves as the competitors' mentor.
The competitors from all over the country will vie for the ultimate
title of "Shear Genius," $100,000 dollars courtesy of Nexxus Salon Hair Care, an
apprenticeship with Nexxus and a chance to style hair for an Allure
magazine feature. The stylists face two challenges per episode: the short cut
challenge, testing technical hairstyling skills, and the elimination
challenge, testing creativity and advanced skills. In each episode, host Smith,
delivers the news to the chosen winner and loser with input from Atterton and
Vo, as well as a lineup of guest judges. Some stylists will get "cut" early and
others will "blow away" the competition.
