Daniel Lewis has an enthusiasm and lust for life that is just plain infectious, as evidenced by his answers to a couple of Blogging Shear Genius' questions....
BSG: How frustrating was it that you couldn't work on your Mom's hair in the Surprise challenge?
DL: It was not at all frustrating. I am so busy at the salon I am usually not the one doing it anyway and I knew she was in good hands with Charlie. Although the plane barely hit the ground in Dallas before she had a full head of foils.
BSG: Who was your favorite guest judge and why?
DL: My favorite guest judges were Alison Sweeney (I have grown up with her on Days of Our Lives) and Robert Hallowell. They both spent the most “get to know you” time with us after their challenges and both seemed truly honored to be there. Jose was pretty great too and I was not expecting that at all.

Nexxus Insider Tip
“Seeing Double”
Insider Tips for Getting the Winning Look
Nexxus® Salon Hair Care, makers of salon-proven and genius approved hair care products, is back as the stylists choice to win on the second season of BRAVO’s reality competition series, “Shear Genius.” Nexxus Editorial Director Roy Teeluck shows that with the right products and a few simple steps anyone can achieve genius, just-from-the-salon-style at home.
Recap of Show
Stakes were high at this week’s short cut challenge, with the winner guaranteed a spot in the finale. Jaclyn's own stylist Jose Eber joined the contestants to judge their ability to successfully consult with their clients and give them a style that represents their own character. The challenge grew more laborious midway through when each stylist realized that their clients each had an identical twin who also needed a unique cut. For highlighting her client’s personalities with unique colors and shapes for each twin, Nicole received immunity from elimination.
For the first time this season, that elimination challenge did not culminate in a hair show. The contestants had to style for a photo shoot by fashion photographer Michael Grecco, each of them conceptualizing and executing an avant-garde look inspired by one of the four seasons. The challenge demanded they be on set throughout the shoot, working with the hair as the photographer requested. Charlie was praised by the judges for his style's impeccable shape, and he won for the fourth time this season. No one was quite as thrilled with Dee or Daniel’s work, but it was Daniel’s misuse of product and failure to style hair with the camera in mind that lost him his seat in the final three.
This week’s “how to get the look” from Roy
Avant-garde hairstyles are great for photo shoots and the runway, but don’t always translate to everyday. For a more wearable look that’s still edgy, try a tousled approach with a few fun accessories.- Shampoo and condition with products that help to boost volume. Try Nexxus Nexxus Diametress Shampoo and Nexxus Sublime Volume Conditioner.
- To hold and maintain curl, apply Nexxus Alluring Curls to wet hair. Wrap different sized sections of hair around Velcro rollers to create a unique texture.
- Apply heat with a blow-dryer until hair is dry. Allow locks to cool and remove rollers.
- Use a curling iron randomly all over head to add in a few defined curls.
- Take various sized sections of hair and pin on top of head with bobbi pins. Don’t worry if your updo is not “perfect.” The beauty in this look actually comes from the quirky mistakes.
- Go back through hair and pull out few tendrils for added softness and dimension.
- Spray with a light hold hair spray, like Nexxus Comb Thru, to help maintain the structure of the style.
- Insert a flirty accessory, like a fresh flower, and your look is complete.

Congratulations, Charlie!
Charlie - this was your fourth Elimination Challenge victory - can you go all the way? Can this man be stopped?!
You were determined to make your hair avant garde because you knew that would be an important factor in judging. Although it seemed like the judges might not have been happy, they soon changed their tune and gave you the kudos you deserved for your seasonal styling. Congratulations once again.
Note: Only positive comments on this post, please! Any other thoughts belong in our Reactions post here.
BSG Love to Daniel
Daniel, from the first cut, it looked like you would be in the Final Three and go to the finale; it's quite surprising to see that you made it only to the penultimate episode.
The judges did not like your styling and they did not think it was avant garde enough, although we know you did what you thought worked best based on the instructions you were given before the shoot.
You are a gentleman with true charm and a passion for what you do and we are sorry to see you go.
