Janine Jarman's Feather Braid

After I saw my girl Janine do this on Shear Genius I just had to know how to do it. I searched the internet and couldn't find anything. So I took to twitter to ask the source. Here is her answer Janine Jarman's feather braid Much love girl you are super talented!

Shear Genius 3

Well I called it from episode 1. Brig, Matthew and Janine for the final 3.
The first challenge was to do Camila's hair. Seriously what was with her 2 tone hair? We know she has the money to get those roots done and if she was trying to grow out her color there is a better way to do it than just not get color done YIKES! Brigs updo was a bad prom hairdo with all those loop d loops going on. Jon's was ok, but a bit of a mess with no volume in the crown where it should be. Janine's was cute and very her style and maybe not so much Camilla's. Matthew's was almost there. Why on earth does he always throw in a weird Matthew touch? The hair sticking out the side of the chignon was so stupid. Overall I guess his was the best out of them, but really they all were a bit sloppy.
Elimination challenge was to do 3 looks 2 on models and one on themselves. Brig went for over the top Avant Garde. So annoying. Avant Garde doesn't mean a shit pile on someones head. I do avant garde hair and I know it can be done neat and clean and still be avant garde. And why on earth didn't any judge mention she had a BOBBY PIN SHOWING. Hairdressing 101 no pins showing unless it's part of the style! How could she win the challenge with a giant pin in the FRONT showing? Guess the producers wanted her in the finale so much they were willing to overlook a rookie mistake like that.
Jon was almost there taking his thin hair girl and making here look great with lots of hair. If only he would have give his red head beautiful Hollywood waves he could have taken home the win and been in the finale instead of Brig.
Matthew what was up with the picture of himself? He has way more personality then that boring picture showed. His styles were good, but not great. I think the heavy bang on that dark hair model is a little played out. The blonde was pretty, but I didn't love so much curl. His Dolly from last week was better.
Janine. I loved her straight hair with the black to purple it's was very hip and really her. The fro she did was just a bit off. I think I would have liked to see it bigger and rounder. She should have won the challenge, but I guess the producers got Janine fatigue like they did with Charlie last year. I just hope it doesn't spill over into the finale and they crown the wrong person Shear Genius. I've picked Janine as my winner from episode 1. So I'm rooting for her!

Things are heating up between Brig and Matthew and I love it!

This week the contestants had to do a precision cutting challenge-most failed. I find it sad that when faced with a challenge that happens every day in the salon so many couldn't step up. I teach all my new stylists that you have to master the basics before you break out of the box. I think several of these hairdressers went for out of the box and they are lackin some basic skills. And while I detest Brig I agree with her that Matthew is nearing the end of his tricks. I was very happy Janine won the short cut challenge. I picked her as my season 3 winner from the start. Brian-the dumb blonde routine is getting old! It's so time for you to leave-please! So I have to ask WTF is with Jon and his back pack? Is he Dora the Explorer?

I'm getting very disappointed in the elimination challenges not being more salon focused. Photoshoots are so NOT what most of us do everyday. And while it's great that Matthew wins the photoshoot and runway challenges it doesn't show that he can cut and color hair-You know what most of us do to pay the bills! Unless you are Orlando Pita you don't get paid or get paid very little to do photoshoots and fashion shows.

Looks like we'll be seeing Matthew for at least 2 more shows. I will laugh my butt off if he makes it to the final because that will mean the 2 hairdressers I assisted will have been Shear Genius finalist! Guess who needs to be on season 4 ;)

Shear Genius Season 3 epi 4

I'm back. The last 2 shows were so boring I couldn't bring myself to blog about them. This week was good.

First-when will the SG contestants learn that a wet set takes forever to dry. Really Janine you thought 35 min would be enough? We see it every season and every season someone has wet hair tryin to throw it up into a style.

April's little melt down was f'ing lame! If you get graduated bob as a challenge then do a graduated bob. I think she was scared to do it.

Brian is a little too hippy dippy for me. Looking in his eyes is like looking through a window. Leave already.

Not a bit sad to see Amy go. She was a wet blanket anyway.

Last-Really Bravo? Really? Brig won over Matthew with that craptastic up 3 hair do look! Oy vey! She is sticking around for 2 more weeks.

Remember friends hair is important *vomits*
