The First Cut

S1, E1: Bravo's newest competition reality series "Shear Genius" premieres with 12 talented hair stylists, one high-stakes salon and some of the industry's most renowned talent. Guest judging this week is famed celebrity hairdresser Frederick Fekkai, founder of the Fekkai hair care line. In the first episode, the stylists feel the heat when faced with their first short-cut challenge - one hour to show off their signature style on a mannequin head. In the elimination challenge to follow, the stylists are tasked with creating a work of art using professional models with long hair and an arsenal of arts and crafts materials.
