Thank you and congratulations, Brig!

Congratulations, Brig!

And a hearty congratulations goes to Brig Van Osten for being Shear Genius! She really was the one to watch throughout the whole competition, not just for her styling ability but for her high entertainment factor. In a competition ruled by two stylists whom Brig dubbed "the Wonder Twins," it was hard to imagine that the underdog would take it all in the end. And we're glad she did.

Brig, you wowed the judges with your innovative laminated styles. Kim Vo seemed especially impressed by your use of color. Linda Wells was thrilled by all of it, and Camila seemed to be as well. Only Jonathan Antin wanted to rain on your parade, but fortunately for you Mr Crankypants' vote was overruled by those of the other judges.

We're looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future, and we hope you'll drop by Blogging Bravo in the future to chat.

Project Brig!

Filming begins this summer with a fall premiere on Bravo. Click here for the full press release.

Congratulations, Brig!

Well, well - Brig is in the final three! Congratulations to her for not allowing herself to be intimidated by the other competitors, for remaining true to herself and her own personal style. Great work!

This week's Elimination Challenge proved that Brig is a force to be reckoned with, and we're happy to see her continue on in the competition. Next week should prove to be interesting, and exciting.

Congratulations, Brig!

Congrats to Brig for really pulling off a great '40s hair-style. The curvy Bettie Page-esque bangs, the barrel curl, and the side wave may have been a lot of style, but your color job put her over the top - in a good way.

Brig has a strong personality and may rub some people the wrong way, but the bottom line is - she is a good stylist. And she is making this competition very interesting.
