Parents need to know that this style-centric reality show pits small-town hairstylists against top industry names to see who can create the better look. Viewers who've watched shows like American Idol and The Amazing Race -- in which competitors duke it out on a level playing field and underdogs often succeed -- may find it a little disconcerting when the "stars" win out. Young viewers raised with a "you can achieve anything" mentality might end up feeling a little disappointed/confused. But compared to a lot of competition reality shows, this one's pretty tame, with no salty language to speak of and little of the beefed-up conflict that's become a reality hallmark.
Positive messages:There's competition between the stylists and a few snarky comments from the judges, but in the end the show sends the messages that hard work often pays off and success takes patience.
