Nexxus Salon Hair Care is the sole integrated sponsor for the upcoming season of Bravo's creative competition series, "Shear Genius," premiering Feb. 3.

The sponsorship deal includes exclusive in-show brand integration, on-air sponsorship and customized vignettes featuring the show's new host, sponsorship of Bravo's live voting, interactive photo galleries, as well as other digital and off-channel elements.

The Nexxus brand will be fully integrated into each episode as the stylists work in the "Shear Genius Nexxus Salon," stocked solely with Nexxus hair care products. They will also serve as the "prizing partner" for the series, furnishing the winner with $100,000 in prize money and an apprenticeship with Nexxus Salon Hair Care. Throughout the series, Nexxus will unveil sponsored custom vignettes featuring "Shear Genius" host Camila Alves and Nexxus Creative Director Kevin Mancuso, presenting fans with how-to's on achieving hot styles with the help of Nexxus products.

Through the Nexxus-sponsored live voting, fans can engage online and on their mobile devices, with a weekly chance of winning $500 for a hair makeover and a grand prize of $10,000 compliments of Nexxus Salon Hair Care. On BravoTV.com, Nexxus will have a custom online challenge where the style-savvy fan can submit photos of their own hair creations to win weekly prizes, as well as a "Rate The 'Do" interactive photo gallery where engaged users can weigh-in on looks from each episode of the show.--Tanya Irwi
