Yeah, cuz Beyonce and Jessica Simpson pick their stylists from among freaks on a television show... And they WANT the person who knows their intimate grooming secrets to be a famewhore. And I'M the fucking stupid one? Being on a show like this would pretty much guarantee that they would NEVER get celebrity clients...

As for editorial work, a stylist's book will get them the jobs if they have the talent. No way, even if the stylist's work is good, is a look created in 90 minutes with gardening shears and utilizing squid going to compare to the work of somebody who actually took the time to cut, color and style the hair right...

No, I got your point. You're just wrong. You would have LESS of a chance of advancing to that level from having done this show than by taking a more traditional path. That is, if you really are a great stylist. Ones without talent (not unlike the ones we've seen) may need the sort of boost, positive or negative, that this show provides, but that's a different story altogether.

The difference is, you don't need somebody to give you permission or massive amounts of funding to cut hair. The business is less capital-intensive. Sure, you can aspire to open a multi-million dollar salon and spa in Beverly Hills. On the other hand, you can be incredibly successful working as a personal stylist to a handful of notable clients. Hell, a lot of the rich women out here have a stylist come to their house every morning to blow out their hair for them. That sort of path requires very little capital outlay, and talent and ambition alone can take somebody there. A talented person can come out and just do their thing and their work can speak for itself. With the right word-of-mouth, they can rise quickly.

In order to get anywhere as a fashion designer or (albeit to a lesser degree) a chef, you need somebody to invest a ton of money into your dream. It is amazingly difficult to even access the people who can do that for you. If they won't look at your designs or taste your food, what are you going to do? Shows like Project Runway or Top Chef can at least open the door to the point where somebody will take a look.

While Shear Genius might do the same thing, it is not as necessary, because the door wasn't as CLOSED in the first place!
