This week's Quick Cut Challenge asked the contestants to give their clients a style that could go from day to night in under 5 minutes. They had to cut and color the hair and prove that it had two different looks with one cut. The catch was that the stylists weren't allowed to make the change from day to night; the clients had to do it themselves. Dr. Boogie took his clients red hair from a straight, down to her stomach look up to a weird mohawk-y mullet. It was pretty awful, but the client was a good sport and claimed that she liked it (sure you did...)In the elimination challenge, the stylists had to make a red carpet look for film and TV actress Vanessa Williams. They had Vanessa's gown for the evening and a headshot to work from. Most of the looks were pretty nice. All the up-do's tend to look the same to me, but the controversy of the night was when Evangelin insisted on using the hedge clippers from last week's challenge to cut her client's hair. Everyone was in an uproar about it, but it wasn' that big of a deal.
The clients had to walk the runway and show Ms. Williams herself their styles. She then picked the one that she would most like to wear to her red carpet event. After all were presented, she ended up picking Danna's look, which was definitely the best if you ask me. It was cool, stylish and would look good on Vanessa. I thought that was prize for the challenge was going to be doing Vanessa's hair on the night of the event, but it turns out it was just a nice, "You win." Oh, well...
Unfortunately for Evangelin, the hedge clippers were her downfall. No one liked her straight vs. curly look and she was cut from the competition. I don't know if she necesssary had the worst look of the night, but I would have cut her just for the amount times she used the word "tendrils" in an hour show.
