Brig Van Osten - Shear Genius 3

Brig Van Osten
Season 3

Owner of P!ay Hair Lounge, Brig has worked in the beauty industry for 13 years. After moving salons six times and growing frustrated with a traditional salon model that seemed to leave the stylists and the clients unsatisfied, Brig decided to change the mold. She is known for providing honest opinions and helping her clients recreate a professional hairstyle at home. Brig stays current by attending monthly classes, including instruction at Bumble & Bumble University in New York. She also spends time behind the camera photographing models and helping promote the work of other P!ay stylists. Brig has been featured in Life & Style Magazine, and her work has been seen in Modern Salon, American Salon Magazine, and on the television series What Not to Wear.

I'm sorry, but this girl is a Grade-A nutjob...

The nuttier the job the more attention the nut-job gets.
Personally I wish her headband would just make her fly away. I can't believe she is a hair stylist with such a brassy color of hair but I suppose it takes all kinds.

Seriously, would you trust a stylist with that huge bow on her head??? I know these clients are models and have no choice, but really?

I felt for Amy with the jerk client she had. He wasn't going to be happy no matter what she did.

I was thinking Adee and Brig would have been an entertaining partnership. :lol

What is the name Brig short for (if anything)?

We call her Minnie in this house. You know, like the mouse!

It's probably Bridget.

I have been going nuts trying to think of who Brig looks and it finally came to me---TONI COLETTE in her first movie Muriel's Wedding! (without the hair color, of course)

Has anyone seen it?

I don't know what to think. Sometimes I like/appreciate her commitment to "self" and other times I think "wing-nut" or "fool".

She appears to be crazy, but she's got a very successful salon. Comments from real customers on Yelp are great! She MUST know what she's doing:shrug
