Casting Reality: Split Ends

I am still annoyed that I receive reality show breakdowns from the submission websites I subscribe to, but some of them do make sense... Parent's who think their kid is a star, people in the LA area who want a room redone for all the decorating shows, young and stupid singles and couples for dating and relationship shows...

However, this one surprised me and may even be something you'd want to pass along:

NOW CASTING SEASON 5 Of SPLIT ENDS

The Emmy-Nominated reality series on STYLE NETWORK!!

Could you cut it in someone else's salon? Could someone new survive in yours? If you think you have what it takes to swap salons, we want you on SPLIT ENDS.

You'll get to showcase your talent by representing your own unique personal style.

COME SHOWCASE YOUR SKILLS AND BE RECOGNIZED FOR IT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION! MANY HAIRSTYLISTS HAVE INCREASED THEIR BUSINESS AFTER APPEARING ON THIS SHOW!!


If you've never seen it, Split Ends is a fun reality show that is basically Wife Swap or Trading Spouses for hair dressers. I was surprised to see this breakdown because the stylists who participate on the show are from all over the country. The best episodes are when they swap the small town, beauty-shop-in-my-home stylist with someone from a ritzy city salon! Overall, the participants have never struck me as wannabe actors, making this breakdown especially odd and annoying!

Anyway, if you do know a stylist who might be interested, I'd suggest checking the show's website, or tracking down contact info for the casting director, Angela Weingrad.
