It's time to vote for your favorite "challenge cut" created by the contestants of SAM'S SHEAR CHALLENGE! Their final looks and voting tabs are below.
Three finalists had a week to get accustomed to Sam Villa® ergonomic shears, with an offset thumb design to prevent repetitive stress injuries that are common among hairstylists.
Industry legend Sam Villa called the shears "like a pair of Louboutins — not comfortable at first, but oooh, comfortable after a week!"
Below are the "challenge cuts" the finalists created with their new ergonomic shear after 7 days of practice. The winner of the popular vote will receive, among other rewards, a one-on-one mentoring session with Sam Villa.
VOTING RULES
Votes can be cast once per day, per device.
