If, like us, you were glued to your screens to watch the sizzling drama that was Hairstyle The Talent Show on Discovery+, you’ve probably developed an emotional attachment to the contestants, too. Psychologists say that sharing intense experiences brings people closer together, and we couldn’t help but cheer for our favorite hairstylists as they made their dreams come true.

Let's take a look behind the salon doors and unravel the signature styles that stole the show during the show.

Jenise, the extension specialist and master colorist at a private salon in New York City, left us all in awe with her show-stopping styles and flawless coloring techniques that earned her the win. She’s currently basking in the glory of her win and gearing up for a week of intense training, living the dream she never thought possible. “My reality feels like my wildest dreams are coming true!” she can’t hide her joy.

In her TV competition creations, Jenise weaves a tapestry of proportion, harmony and sheer beauty in every hairstyle. A standout moment was her recreation of a polished hairstyle that resembled an exquisite screw shell. It was a demonstration not only of her stunning skills, but also of the genuine affection she showers on those lucky enough to sit in her stylist’s chair.
