This week the elimination challenge for the contestants was to give their client this celebrity hairstyle of the client's choosing. Most of the choices were fairly close to what the client naturally had to work with and involved some cutting and styling, but a few of them had some ballsy requests.
Daisy's client wanted to go to from black hair to the white-platinum locks of Christina Aguilera. Not only is that hard to do under any circumstances, but they only had 2 hours to complete the mission. The result left her model looking more like Marcia Cross than Christina Aguilera, but it wasn't actually that bad of look... just nothing like the intended result. Luckily for her, she wasn't eliminated because someone else messed up worse than her.
Jim's model wanted to have a similar Gwen Stefani look, but unlike Daisy, he decided to dive in and try to take her from black to platinum with the limited time constraints. When the model came down the runway she looked more like Shawn White, the Flying Tomato, than the Anaheim singer and he was cut from the competition.
The winner of the competition was Anthony, the Brit, who took his model from really good looking to really, really good looking with a Carmen Electra-style cut. Not the most challenging 'do out there, but it was well done. His model looked good.
