If you're like me you start to forget who won what during each of the competitions on Shear Genius 3. I also forget the guest judges which rotate through every episode like crazy.
Sometimes the guest judges will judge only one of the challenges. Other times they will judge both. It appears that the guest judges were selected based on their particular expertise in the hair world.
(All 12 of the Shear Genius 3 contestants - L-R Brig, Giacomo, Matthew, Brian, April, Joey, Janine, Jon, Faatemah, Arzo, Amy and Adee - Bravo/TV - All Rights Reserved)
