Bravo's competitive reality show, "Shear Genius," premiered on April 11, 2007.

Season 2

Hosted by Golden Globe nominated actress, designer and entrepreneur Jaclyn Smith, the second season of Bravo's creative competition series "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 editor Kelly Atterton serve as lead judges on the series. Accomplished stylist Rene Fris serves as the competitors' mentor.

Bravo's nationwide search for talented hair stylists unearthed a group of gifted competitors from all over the country who 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. Every challenge will be inventive and extraordinary, pushing them out of their comfort zone and requiring more than just finesse with a comb and scissors. The stylists will also need to possess the ability to service client needs, manage a staff and work as part of a team, simultaneously, in order to make it in this competition. 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.

"Shear Genius" is produced by Reveille Entertainment. Mark Koops, Julie Laughlin and Howard T. Owens serve as executive producers.

Season 1

To win this competition on "Shear Genius," a group of talented hairstylists from around the world will literally go head-to-head in creative challenges that require more than just talent with a comb and scissors. Whether it's the bob, bouffant, perm, or chignon, hair becomes an art form as the contestants with a flair for hair compete in challenges that could put them one step closer to being crowned a "Shear Genius."

From the guy next door to the A-list celebrity, everyone is a potential client and provides a true test of skill on "Shear Genius." The crop of budding stylists on "Shear Genius" will come from all walks of life and hail from all over the nation. Some will get "cut" early and others will "blow away" the competition.
