A few months ago I wrote a blog lamenting how hard it is to come up with catchy "goodbye" lines for reality shows -- and asked for your suggestions for Jaclyn Smith’s sayonara to “Shear Genius” stylists. Over four hundred of you weighed in!
The Most Popular/Most suggested:
You don’t make the cut.
You’ve been cut.
Hair today, gone tomorrow.
You’ve been snipped.
Take your scissors and run.
You’re out of style.
Beauty school dropout.
You’re washed out.
We’ve cancelled your future appointments.
Sweep up your station and go.
You’re a cut below the rest.
Curl up and dye.
Your work isn’t shear genius.
Time for you to cut and run.
You are a hair “don’t.”
You’ve been snipped.
This is where we part.
