Jaclyn Smith will not be returning to Shear Genius. Instead, we'll see model Camila Alves (best known as Matthew McConaughey's babymama) taking over hostess duties. Additionally, Jonathan Antin will be joining super-colorist Kim Vo as one of the regular judges.

Wonder what other changes may be in store?

Daniel Lewis on Oscar Hair


Daniel Lewis, celebrity hair stylist and Bravo’s Shear Genius Season 2 Fan Favorite, knows a thing or two about Red Carpet style. A fan of timeless elegance, Daniel was happy to see classic styles like those worn by Anne Hathaway and Vanessa Hudgens make a welcome comeback at the 2009 Academy Awards.

Daniel’s Top 5 Oscar Hair Picks
1. Kate Winslet – Flawless! Her hair is exactly what Oscar hair should be.
2. Penelope Cruz - Her perfect bun and thick fringe bang were absolute perfection.
3. Sarah Jessica Parker - She looked spectacular as usual. That mane of hair is just so perfect and was a great example of appropriate fullness.
4. Tilda Swinton - Love the new blonde hair! She usually looks a little hard for my taste, but the new color takes that lizard look down a couple notches. Just shows how hair color can change your whole aura.
5. Meryl Streep - As much as I love her, she usually lets me down with a disheveled style for awards shows, but this time she looked surprisingly appropriate and really beautiful with hair up and soft and.

Who Missed the Mark?
Jennifer Aniston - You would think since borrowed her dress from Miss Missouri 1994, her hair would have been better but what was that?
Marrisa Tomei - Looked like she was up for a roll in “High School Musical 4.” That look was a little too prom for her age.
