Daniel Lewis Updates

So what has our darling Daniel from Dallas been up to these past few months? Well, he's been getting some nice publicity in local media. First there's an article from Frisco STYLE, and then he was named On Magazine's "On Personality."

From the Mailbag

Here's a blurb from the Rocky Mountain News about three Shear Genius contestants who participated in the 303 Magazine Hair Show:

TRESS TROT: A slew of hairstylists from local salons teased and tamed tresses on models during the 303 Magazine Hair Show on Sunday at the Expo Event Center, 35th and Walnut streets. Stunning and shocking styles included mohawks, chignons, braids, buns, pompadours, updos, frizz and curls, with models accessorized with rhinestone eyelashes, hair extensions and - in some cases - freaky frocks.

The show featured style segments from Shear Genius 2 finalists, our own Charlie Price, Nicole Obert (even tinier in person) and Daniel Lewis (such a doll). Those three in the final four of the Bravo reality series were beat out by Dee Adames.

Price showed off his trademark glam waves - a throwback to the 1940s - with local lovely Holly Kylberg in his model lineup. Obert chose hot hunks with pompadours, slicked-down Yuppie 'dos and a gamine bob. It won't shock fans of the show that Lewis relied on his Texan background and penchant for big hair. In the finale, his models came out spraying hair spray.

BSG recently got an e-mail from Dee Adames saying that she no longer works for Peter of London and is busy getting her own salon - D and L Hair Studio -  ready for opening!  It's very exciting news and we hope that Dee will share information about the opening with us on a future date.

5280's daily blog Elevated Voices gives a nod to Charlie Price.

And the Rocky Mountain News claims that Price distinguished himself as the (rhymes with witch) contestant who often picked on other competitors, just because. No, really?

BSG Interview with Nicole Obert

Nicole Obert may only be 24, but she was the second runner-up and thisclose to becoming Shear Genius this season. She's passionate about her craft and something tells me that we'll be seeing more of her in the future.

BSG: Do you think you would have made it to the final three if you hadn't gotten immunity in that last short cut challenge?

NO: That is something we will never know, nor is it something i think about. I dont like to think about what might have been, and remain thankful for what was.

BSG Interview With Charlie Price

Charlie Price was the first runner-up on this season of Shear Genius. He's a lot of fun to talk with, mostly because he doesn't mince words. Here are a few he's shared with us.

BSG: You won 4 elimination challenges and 2 short cut challenges. Did you think you had the finale challenge in the bag?

CP: i had a feeling that there might be "charlie fatigue" by the finale- no matter what i did it might not be enough lol- i was very proud of what i did- the other two obviously didn't even finish their models- during the judging all of the things that were said about my work are the things i strive for-technical, shiny ,luxurious etc-and just for the record- i fulfilled the challenge plus did 2 updos- plus did double process colors on all four clients- that achievement speaks for itself in my book.

BSG: How hard was it to keep quiet about the results for so many months since filming the finale?

CP: it was very hard- such an important and exciting experience is hard to lock away-i also am not good at secrets
