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?
