My chat with a "Shear Genius" named Kim Vo...

It was so much fun talking to Kim Vo a few weeks back at the NBC Press Tour party. He didn't seem to mind one bit that I did not know who the heck he was or what he did. He's adorable and fun and now that I've done my research, he's a really big deal!

Not only is he one of the judges on "Shear Genius," the Bravo reality show hosted by Jaclyn Smith, but he has two major state-of-the-art salons: B2V Salon in Beverly Hills and Kim Vo at the Mirage in Las Vegas.

Hey, I barely have any hair left, why would I know about hair? Anyway, I asked him how the heck he got the job of "color judge" on "Shear Genius".

"I slept my way to the middle and clawed my way to the top," he joked befire adding: "I've got seven years of experience, I own four salons and a product line at Barney's across the country. I'm an international recognized hairdresser and I think gives a pedigree of success. Britney Spears is one of my clients. She's been on and off and I';ve taken her to a new look recently."

He's also had many other celebrities including Uma Thurman and Kate Hudson.

Like his famous clients, he's blonde. I ask if he is a natural blonde (what do I know?). He says: "Are you kidding? I'm Vietnamese and French. I'm not natural whatsoever!"

I had to know what it's like to work with the lovely Jaclyn Smith, the show's host. "Jaclyn's amazing. Truly a class act. She's kind, she's sweet. I can't say enough good things about her."

C'mon, no diva moments from Jaclyn?"

"The only diva moments are from the contestants. There's a lot of drama with the contestants but Jaclyn and I stood hand-in-hand."

What about when Kate Jackson came on the show?

"That was amazing. Imagine two out of the three (original) Charlie's Angels. I thought I was in heaven."

How has Kim adjusted to being a TV star on "Shear Genius" I ask, unaware of his previous TV gigs.

"I've done 'Extreme Makeover' for four years so it was such a great continuation of that," he said.

I'm a litlte baffled. The home makeover show on ABC?

"It's on the Style Network Greg!" he says, laughing. "It's syndicated!"

Uh boy. I'm a ditz in this interview. But he's so much fun! I ask what Kim's future plans are: "I'm gonna keep my day job as a celebrity stylist but I'm hoping season three is coming soon. I would love a season three!"

I'm now a big fan...
