This week's "quick cut challenge" had the contestants duplicating judge Sally Hershberger's signature "Sally Shag" haircut. They watched Sally do a demo cut and then had one hour to cut their own version. Halfway through the challenge Sally informed the contestants that the one with the worst cut would be sent home. Lacey tried to spin her own variation on Sally's specific cut and was eliminated from the show.
After the elimination the contestants were permitted to make a 5-minute phone call home. They were very excited to talked to their loved ones. It was a nice moment on the show, but a little dramatic. I know they're separated from their families, but it's not like they're in the trenches in Iraq; they're cutting hair in Los Angeles. In case you care you can watch some of their phone calls over at BravoTV.com
The next elimination challenge featured clients who hadn't had a haircut in a loooong time, and the contestants had to give them new, short 'dos. The catch was that they didn't get to use their regular scissors and razors, they had to use some unusual tools, like hedge clippers, Swiss Army knives and nail clippers. Most people chose the closest thing to hair scissors they could find, but Evangelin picked the hedge clippers. It was a risky, but good choice for her because she ended up having the best cut of the night.
Theodore was sent home at the end of the night after making his client's hair look like "a rat's nest" according to the judges. His cut was pretty bad, and if anyone took a look the corn rows he was rocking during the challenge, it was no surprise that he had the worst look of the evening.
