Nekisa's model kept her old, less daring color, but Nekisa gave her some "layers," she says. Let's see if Nekisa gets dinged for not changing the style enough for the sixth week in a row! Paulo gave his model this wild, vibrant, curly 'do that I think looks rather awesome. If only the alopecia were to blame for the linebacker-walk she's sporting out on the runway. But she looks fantastic. Nicole's haircut, to my untrained eye, looks pretty good. Sharon Stone on a good day. Dee also went red and cut it short and mom-like. Which is actually a good plan, since I think her model is a grandma.
Glenn, Dee, and Daniel are all deemed safe without comment. Interesting -- I thought Daniel was one of the best last week and one of the worst this week, and the judges put him in the middle both times. Nekisa's up first for examination. Kim thinks it's too '80s, and Nekisa's model kind of throws her under the bus. Kelly and Oscar also have their nits to pick, and Nekisa bravely refuses to cry. Whatever.
The judges love Paulo's cut -- Jaclyn is reminded of her pal Farrah Fawcett -- and he gives his girl a big ol' hug in celebration. I seemed to like Charlie's cut more than the judges, who think it's too heavy and even helmet-like. Kelly says Gail's lack of confidence is what's holding her back, whereas Oscar takes a more practical approach and points out the real thing holding Gail back: her shitty haircutting. She made her model look older.
Finally, Nicole. She goes through the whole dramatic song and dance of her harrowing day, and she manages to not cry without sounding like a total bitch, Nekisa. Kim asks to see her model up close, and when he starts fucking with Nicole about whether she was worried this could lose the competition for her, you know he loves it. The model loves it, too, which gets everyone going, especially Paulo Sorvino over there.
The judges deliberate: Kim sticks with the "totally '80s" motif for Nekisa's cut. Paulo's was "perfectly imperfect," per Kelly. Kim thinks Charlie is playing it way too safe, and his beach cut is brought into the discussion to emphasize this newfound conservative streak. Gail's coloring was too one-dimensional, which Kim says made her model look like she had the flu. Can you have a haircut that looks like the flu? Nicole's cut was problematic -- Kelly brings up that clumping on a wig so short runs the risk of revealing the netting -- but also gutsy, and it pleased the client.
