37-year-old stylist Dee Adames was crowned the winner of Bravo’s Shear Genius. Dee is queen of the cut, color and style show and we have to say that she was a worthy winner.
Dee has walked away with $100,000 prize money, she will also get to style an Allure magazine cover, and she will also become an apprentice at the Nexxus salon.
There were only three stylists left in the final, Charlie, Nicole and Dee. Charlie knew that he was up against at as both Nicole and Dee have beaten him before, but he was still up for the challenge.
Towards the end of the show all the stylists were going crazy; all were under a lot of pressure as to who will be crowned the winner of Shear Genius. Dee was not even sure if she will finish or not, as she still had the cut and style to do. But it seemed that she works well under pressure.
She really is worthy of Shear Genius Winner 2008.

The result is totally ridiculous. I placed her last by a mile. Show has zero credibility.

If you underestimated Dee’s talent, then you must not have been watching the entire season. She was my personal stylist in Miami & she is phenomenal!

Dee was the judges’ favorite, for some reason. No matter what she did, she always came out smelling like a rose. The week before the finale, though, even the judges said she did the same cut time after time. She definitely should have been elminated that week, not Paulo. Paulo got at least one good photo, which I don’t think Dee did. In any event, Dee was clearly the worst that week. I didn’t even bother to watch the finale, as I knew Dee would win, even though she soooooo did not deserve to. I’ll never watch that show again. This was my first and last season.

First off, Dee is a female, not male. Second of all, although I didn’t see the finale, throughout the season, Dee gave everyone the same haircut (a version of her own). Charlie and Nicole are far more talented (despite Nicole’s lack of experience….she has a natural knack for the job). Oh well, just another example of how Bravo’s shows are going downhill. Don’t even get me started on Step it up and Dance.

Frankly all of the stylists this season were lackluster. As far as I’m concerned they were all equally uninspiring. I guess someone had to win.

ScooterJon I agree with you 100% Dee was to me at best an over the top platform artist. She had no creativity what so ever, and all of her cuts looked the same. Charlie was the rightful winner this season because he was very creative and thought outside of the box. I now hate this show because the 1 with true talent did not win

First, Congratulations to Dee, You did great! For all you haterz, You obviously did not see the show. Dee was obviously the superior in cut and color, she’s a genius! Charlie was cool, a bit on the diva side, but he did have nice updo’s, yet they did look “Matronly”. Nicole did very well also, but what hurt her was that DEE ROCKED!

Dee you deserve to be the Shear Genius winner. I only wish I could have you as my hairdresser. You seemed to know exactly what look was best on your clients. You and only you did the best. Oh! also you never had a mean word to say about your fellow contestants. I do though, Nicole you truly need more experience, especially after the haircut you gave Dee’s mom, what a mess! Charlie you made such awful comments and have a chip on your shoulder get rid of it! Again, congrats to Dee, well deserved for your hard work. Enjoy and good luck at Nexxus.

Watched show from the beginning and Dee was my favorite. She won because she has the talent needed. Good Luck Dee! I will be on the lookout for season 2.
