Hairstylists Everywhere Can Relate To The Show—Here’s Why!

In addition to being able to relate to what the stress of what the contestants are going through; like working on a tight schedule, working with damaged hair or worse, being the one to damage the clients’ hair; viewers can also feel the excitement and happiness the contestants are experiencing as well.

“The main purpose of the show is to help build up the industry,” says Nikki. “Doing hair in general can be challenging, [but] doing it on camera and timed is wild! I think stylists will love watching their peers push boundaries. It will inspire them.”

And of course, no reality tv show or salon environment is complete without a lot of big personalities—so there will be a fair share of drama and tension between contestants as well.
