The hair salon reality series "Split Ends" has been renewed for a third season on The Style Network. This unscripted weekly series shows what happens when two very different hairstylists, armed with their blow dryers and attitude, swap shops and discover what it's like to walk in the other's shoes. Split Ends is currently recruiting participants from 20 cities across the U.S.
A second hair reality series, Shear Genius, premiered last April on BRAVO. Shear Genius pits hairstylists against one another to see who can create the most fashionable coiffure. BRAVO recently held an open casting call at the International Salon & Spa Expo 2008 held in Long Beach, California for hairstylists looking for a spot on the hit show. These talented stylists compete for a grand prize of $100,000. Jaclyn Smith returns to host the series.
