Shear Genius

The Shearest Genius of Them All

The Final Cut - After each of the stylists has to style four models in just three hours, the Shear Genius Season 2 crown is set upon one spiky-haired, blonde-streaked head.

Seasons of Zzzzz

Seeing Double - Nicole is a very lucky girl -- she earns immunity that sends her to the finale, when she would have surely been going home for having the most boring of four so-so hairdos in this week's photo shoot challenge.

A Family Affair

Surprise! - The stylists get a surprise visit from their beloved family members, but then have to watch (some in horror) as the challenge is to cut and style someone else's loved one.

Doggy Style

Every Dog Has His Day - What does styling a dog have to do with styling a human? Not much -- but who cares if it finally gets Nekisa sent home?

Hair From Hell

Hair From Heaven - Given an awesome, fun, Charlie's Angels themed challenge, every single one of the stylists serves up a disappointing hairdo. Everyone except, well, Charlie, who gets to lord over everyone this week.

You Better Cry and Cut

It Looks Like a Helmet - Zulema would be so proud! Nicole and Paulo cry-and-cut their way to the winner's circle as the contestants style wigs for women with alopecia. Come to think of it, Stan Sitwell would be proud too.

The Red Menace

Do It Yourself - Meredith gets a double dose of copper hair this week, which ends up doing her in. Charlie regresses to reality-TV caricature, and Glenn proposes a boob-for-victory exchange

Carpet, Meet Drapes

Red Carpet Worthy? - Charlie proves that he can still kick everyone's ass even when he's got immunity and is wearing a dead bird on his chest.

Orange You Glad I Didn't Actually Want a Haircut?

The Best Oranges in the County - This week's clients, The Real Housewives of Orange County and their daughters, didn't seem to really get the point of the show, and basically refused to let much of anything be done to their precious fried blonde locks.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

In the Dark - That's the first and last time we'll use that gag all season, so savor it. This episode is also the first and last time a man named Oshun will cut someone's hair to look like Lucy Van Pelt.
