1st Short Hair Challenge - Back to School Hair Styles
Now, bless their little hearts, but these are not the clients most hair stylists care to work on. They all have fine, fly-away hair that lacks structure to hold styling and therefore needs precision cutting that will fall into place when they move. Not only that, but they are little moving targets with not much patience for sitting in one spot for very long. This is why the stylists were given 30 minutes to do their magic on these little angels.
Daniel wins with “Jaclyn” look alike back to school hair style.
He did what she asked for, but was that the point? It will never look that way again and it wasn’t really a “kid friendly” look at all. It was hard not to be happy for her though when she was so cute about loving her new do, but it will fall out and be straight within a couple hours. So how good was it?
On the flip side, if you don’t please a child in your chair, they will most likely break down and BAWL! I’m sure no contestant wanted to see that happen at this part of the game.
The Elimination Challenge
Paolo sent home with this makeover
Paolo may have updated his model, Charlie’s sister, with this flip cut hair style, but the judges ruled his the losing makeover and sent him packing. I agree. There were two important, basic things Paolo didn’t take into consideration; his models hair type and her lifestyle. Those are basic principals I teach in my online class, Finding the Right Hairstyle for You. This model won’t be going home and replicating this hair style. If you’ve lived on the planet over 20 years or so, you’ve probably had a similar experience. This is a lesson hair stylists need to pay attention to . . . it’s not about you!
Charlie won with this makeover on Daniel’s Mother. I think he did a good job. This cut opens up her face more and gives some lift with the shorter layering on top. I think it would have looked better with more fullness in back.
My favorite was Daniels makeover of Nicole’s Mom. It takes ten years off her and is a more updated look. She has a wide rectangular face shape and the straight hair drags her down. Layers soften around the face and shortening it up with a flip cut adds the right balance to her face shape. I do agree with the judges that the color could use more pizazz. Lightening pieces around the face would do much for brightening her whole look.
