Tonight was the premiere of Bravo's Shear Genius - Season Three.
I am really excited about this season because one of my Hollywood
hair idols, Janine Jarman is one of the 12 hairdressers competing
for the grand prize of $100,000.
Even more importantly, Janine has the background to do kick some
serious hair butt. Although she is a gorgeous brunette, don't
let that fool you.
Janine is an Aries who alternates between being the biggest
hearted hairdresser in LA to being fantastic a makeovers.
First Competition - Transform Hair Models From Punk To Polished
In fact, when I interviewed Janine in the past she admitted doing
makeovers were her biggest talent.
Imagine my glee when the very first competition on the first show
of the third season was a makeover. As one of the other
contestants, Brig, put it, the models for the makeover had "hair
crying for help." Brig fairly described the hair models as
having hair that was "flamable, it's lethal, it's quite atrocious."
Indeed, new host, model Camilla Alves said "as you can see, all
of your clients have their own unique style. The hair was big,
pink, white and black and crazy.

After Camilla told the 12 Shear Genius contestants "it's your job
to take your clients from Punk to Polished" Janine told the camera
"I do a lot of that kind of clientele in Hollywood."
Janine said "I'm Janine Jarman and I'm 28 years old and I'm from
Los Angeles, California. At 24 I opened my own salon in the
heart of Hollywood (Cuenga Canyon area). I'm here to get a job
done and I'm here to win."
My thoughts? Go Janine. I am rooting for her and I
hope everyone will see how fantastic Janine really is.
Two Hours For The Transformation
Camilla announced that the contestants had two hours to transform
their clients into polished looks. The key was someone
with high fashion and glamour.
Jonathan Antin, the new judge for Season Three told the
contestants he would be judging them on three things including
technicalcreativity and the overall transformation of the clients.
The clients were assigned by picking random red scissor boxes.
Janine got #3. Her client had black spiked hair.
Jonathan Antin said "your challenge begins now and a clock
started counting down on the wall as the contestants started
working.

Janine was filmed with her client at the shampoo bowl.
Janine asked "what's in your hair?" The model said "glue,
Elmer's Glue".
Indeed, Janine's model had gigantic spikes shooting out from all
angles of her head. Her hair was black and brown.
Janine laughed and said "oh my goodness."
Janine told the camera "I told her I wanted to create a cut bob
with a heavy fringe. Really classy and beautiful. And
she was 'alright, lets do it.' Janine asked her client "do you have
curly hair naturally?" Her model said "yes".
Janine said "she has the curliest, thickest hair I have ever
seen."
Janine told her client "thank you for leaning, because I'm
short." Janine told the camera "I was like yeahhhh and then it
was like oh crap."
Jonathan warned the contestant "OK, you have one hour."
Jonathan stopped and talked to Janine and he said "your stripping
and you're going to fill and deposit?" Janine shook her head
"yep" and Jonathan said "this is like a triple process color, like a
three step color." Janine agreed "yep" as she continued to
blow dry her client. Janine said "that's why I'm hurrying."
Jonathan "you have a lot of work to do.:
Janine was finishing and she said "time was running out so I just
took my scissors and cut around it." The camera caught Janine
cutting around the edges with a skillful movement. Impressive.
Janine said "I didn't know what else to do."

Although Janine did a beautiful job considering she started with
a head of super curly hair full of Elmer Glue, some of the other
contestants, Jon, 38, from Nashville, Tennessee did not agree.
At least not verbally. Jon did speak his opinion.
Off camera Jon said about Janine's makeover "it looked like a
brown speed racer helmet to me."
Jonathan said "I was watching you work. I like where you
were going in the middle. But then, you know, if you look at
her bangs, there's some edging and some lines in there. You
know, that angle on a bob, is death."
Jonathan took a comb and demonstrated the edges on the bangs he
was referring to and the lines.
Bottom Three Makeover Contestants
When it came time for the announcement of the top three and the
bottom three, Janine found herself in the bottom three.
Jonathan said "Janine, your cut definitely left something to be
desired. And your finishing was not clean or polished."
Janine shook her head and was silent, but she handled the criticism
with class and dignity. I was impressed.
Janine said "it was the most awkward feeling I ever felt. I've
always been top of the game. That has to have been one of the
first times I was a standout loser."

Jonathan said "OK, so now we get to the fun part. I made my
decision of the top three."
The "mean judge" named Amy, Giacomo, and Brian as the top three
in the competition. The winner of the competition was Amy.
Summary
The first Makeover Challenge was very telling and a good kickoff
competition for the beginning of the season. It will be
interesting to see how all of the competitors grow through each
week's competitions.
In the meantime, everyone at HairBoutique.com is voting for
Janine Jarman.
Be sure to tune in and watch all the competitors as they progress
through the Season.
Never fear for Janine. She redeemed herself in spades in
the next competition, which I will be covering as well with Before
and After photos. Janine is a star and you must watch her.
