Why do they love to hate Nick?? He does seem to favor giving women what I call egg shaped hair cuts, but I never thought he was a jerk.

Hey Anonymous - I don't think anyone dislikes Nick "personally" - I happen to think he's a doll, myself. But I know that on a lot of the fashion and beauty boards/forums, the cuts he chooses to do get a lot of hate from viewers!

Are you kidding, I LOVE NICK! I'm sooo sad that he is leaving!

Nick certainly hates long hair. He wants to cut everyone's hair. He would cut Farrah Fawcett's hair, or Carmindy's hair.

I hope I don;t have to hear him say any longer...I have to cut a lot off.....what is he looking for...bugs?

He has ruined more hairstyles in the past year than bring the best out in people. He reduces people to tears. I would not let him near my hair...

It is time for a change......

Nick should be replaced.

He feels EVERYONE should have short hair. seems to hate long hair and curls.

is he jealous.?

get rid of him. He is terrible.

I completely agree. My room mate had a theory that he cuts everyone's hair in a mullet. Its pretty accurate, give or take. He'll cut off people's long hair and give them short layers around the face and an awkward length in the back.

He seemed like a nice enough guy, but who knows where my hair would go if I let him near it!

Bullshit. Nick cuts hair fine. everyone gets a different cut, those who complain about the short hair dont have a clue about hairstyling to suit a persons face.

ABOUT FRIGGIN' TIME! No matter what good job Stacy and Clinton would do on a client, we could always count on Nick to mess it up with his horrible haircuts (the "helmet" was his favorite) that made every woman look like a soccer mom. No imagination and the same haircut over and over again. Good riddance.

Honestly, the people that gripe that he cut all their hair off probably shouldn't have long hair in the first place. Here's some news ladies...NOT EVERYONE LOOKS GOOD WITH ALL ONE LENGTH HAIR PARTED DOWN THE MIDDLE OR SIDE...actually, nobody does.

I'm thrilled he's being let go. HE does 99% of ugly bobs that don't make the women look glamerous or feel beautiful, he'll cut all the beautiful hair of a woman saing that length isn't flattering??? I have never dated (my husband included) that didn't LOVE my long hair.. So yeah!!!!!! Maybe they'll kick Carmindy off next? Miss "Natural Beauty" is so covered in makeup it isn't even funny. She's caked, (she has freckles, lots, can you tell?) all the while telling women how lovely their freckles are. And to go natural, five minutes to put on our face? Maybe, but not for her, last show her pink and purple eyeshadow and shimmering cheeks with bright pink/rose lipstick.....................She looked like a call girl and what was up with her boobs? They were in the middle of her stomach on the show the other day, for a flat chested woman she certainly does fill out her dresses well, she's definitely gained weight. Stacey is rude and yet has four or five commercial accounts, Clinton is almost human, and Nick? Well get lost, don't let the door hit you in the ass, and take Carmindy with you. Bring in a True Natural Beauty to do the makeup, someone not all consumed by their own beauty..
Ten Years younger is much better and far more positive, I think WNTW has worn out it's welcome. I can dream can't I?

Nick Arrojo is an amazing hairstylist. The haircuts he gives those women are to suit THOSE women. You can't make a freak into a beauty queen, thats silly. A hairdressers job is to make people look the best they can with what they've got and if they can work with it (blowdry/style ect.). What do you expect him to do, do a boring long layered haircut on everyone?? he's awesome and is a great hairdresser.

Thank goodness Nick is being replaced!!! I've always thought it would be fun to be on the show, but it wouldn't be worth the $5,000 to have Nick butcher my hair. Just because it is "different" or "a change" doesn't mean it looks better. The only person who didn't looked hideous after Nick cut her hair was Camilla (and he could have shaved her head and she still would have looked like a supermodel). Anyway, I'm glad he's moving on... and hopefully he's taking his helmet template (also known as a plastic bowl) and his mullet rub with him.

Now I am going to have to disagree about Carmandy and Stacy and Clinton. I think they are great. I love the way Carmandy does make up. She keeps the ladies simple. One thing they could add is her asking the women what look they would like? and then teach them that look on the show. But I think her doing the natural is easy for women to grasp whom may have never really don makeup before. Love Stacy and CLinton. however, i dont think Clinton gets as much pool as he should, Like Stacy But Clinton is the more wittiest and funniest. Stacy over talks him sometime and cuts him off which can be rude, but she doesnt need to be replaced.
NOW NICK...sorry but good riddens. you are a one cut wonder. Same ole cut for everybody. Not everybody has to have short hair. You give every lady on the show the same look. If they go back into the shows, they will not see one difference in any of the hair styles. I would love to see the new person go all the way short (when necessary and complimentary) or stay long with layers etc... BRING ON THE NEW GUY,,,HURRRY

His cuts do seem to look the same, week to week. But a lot of those women are lucky to have any hair left considering the damage they've done. And just having long hair doesn't mean it's attractive or even pretty; case in point, that Texas belle Jesse who went back to looking like an aging Hollywood star after Nick gave her a gorgeous cut and color (with bangs!). She needed a psychiatrist. I wonder if her whining is the reason she got a divorce! Come to think of it, her daughter could have used a MAJOR cut job with a weed whacker. LONG does not equal PRETTY!

I don't get why everyone is complaining about how he ALWAYS cuts it short. The point of the show is to try something new. In the end the contributors almost always love their new look. I loved Nick, but I'm sure this new guy will be awesome.

I'm gonna have to agree with him leaving. I've been watching this over the last couple of weeks, and every single person he did had an absolutely HORRIBLE haircut. I don't know what he's doing, but he's not good. He made one woman cry and she didn't want to come out. He definitely needs to be replaced.

I'm so glad he's leaving. He seems like an awesome guy and I'm sure he truly puts effort into his styles, but why must every woman's cut be short and fugly. No one comes out glamorous or dazzling... its just comfortable enough for the women to handle during their busy lives so they don't have to work to hard on fixing anything. I get that... ease and comfort are what these people are going for. But I'm pretty sure its possible with long hair too. My mother always says a woman's hair is her crown and glory, but Nick seems to think its just a hat:P I feel bad for the last lady from Texas who couldn't even appreciate her look because she felt incomplete. Its one thing for other people to tell her she looks better, but she has to feel it, and I don't think Nick appreciated what the people wanted.

I do think Nick has been giving a similar hairstyle lately but, I think they still look very good. I think if he wants to move on great if not, great. I think that Carmindy is wonderful and does the best make-up job EVER! Stacy and Clinton are the funniest.

Nick is a sadist. He gets an evil GLEAM in his eyes when he sees someone attached to their long hair and instead of working with them to find a style they love, he taunts them with "I'm going to cut a LOT of hair off" and "this is just the beginning, a lot more hair is coming off" and he just seems to ENJOY bringing people to tears. I can't stand the guy. Every once in a while someone will stand up to him. Long hair IS sexy to a log of people, and as long as it's healthy why not do a long style???? I don't see Stacey and Carmendy with short haircuts.

Nick is a scissor happy dufus. I thought i was the only one who found his cuts unimaginative, uninspiring and flat out boring. He lacks the creativeness to be a good stylist. EVERYBODY GETS THE SAME RAZOR CUT MUSHROOM WHETHER 16 OR 60. The women look like clones of each other. Is he the only man of earth who doesn't like long hair on women??? Every time i hear the "take your hair out of the ponytail so i can see what's going on" i cringe cuz i know what's coming next lol sad...sad...sad.... it's always "go home and enjoy' after he's made the women look like trolls and then he slinks out the door with his shoulders all hunched cuz he knows he sucks. buh bye Nicky poo won't miss you.....time for a new stylist who is hip , fresh and young who's gonna embrace a woman's INDIVIDUALITY . As for Carmindy i find her talented with makeup..she serves her purpose although i find her fake.

Nick may be a nice person but his cuts were unflattering at best! They were all the same also which was getting on my nerves. He was making all the women look like Prince Valiant.

I hope the new stylist brings some pizzazz!

Nick is the only reason I watched WNTW, but as soon as they change stylists I will no longer watch. I happen to be a cosmetologist and love to learn all the style and cutting tips. Nick dosen't get enough credit , but on the other hand he won't be tied down to a stupid reality show and will have more time to teach students, cosmetologists , and clients.

I can's WAIT to see Ted Gibson on WNTW!!! Nick is a disaster! Ugly bobs and helmet hair is all he knows how to do. That poor lady from Texas got an aging ugly haircut. No wonder she couldn't enjoy her make-over. Nick turned what should have been a wonderful experience into a tragic miserable disaster.

Buh-Bye, Nick!

I really don't understand who could possibly think Nick is good. And those that write here that do, are so angry. Jesus, relax. Get over it. He is completely hopeless with a huge ego and no sense of what is sexy. You dont have to keep everyones hair long, but why do I know (as everyone does) what he's about to do with most of the women? If I were married to any of these poor women, I would be pissed, hair has everything to do with everything. For instance. There was an actress on CSI Miami, she had long gorgeous hair, she was a drop dead knockout, I looked her up online to see what else she had done, and her hair was much shorter. She looked cute, but not gorgeous as she had. Carmindy and Stacey are sexy with long hair. Carmindy is actually a knock out with her longer curled hair, when it was short, she was pretty, but that's it. Nick is not at all someone I would consider to be sweet or adorable, he really doesn't have a personality. Stacy is basically just .... blunt, but I don't think she has anything special, the tv people must because she had about five commercials now, so who knows what anyone really thinks. Clinton seems real, and then there is Carmindy. Wow, now there is a woman that is pretty with makeup and a hell of a lot of it whether or not it looks good, but without makeup? She is far from someone with "natural beauty" she HAS to wear makeup, no wonder she's so good at it. Not to mention she is so fake and so completely in love with herself, I thank God she's not on long. Someone should really bitch slap her one of these days, she really thinks she's better than everybody else. When she comes on, it's race to the remote between my husband and myself to change the channel and quick. There are thousands of fantastic makeup artists, but that are real, natural not ready for a cocktail party, which I was at once when she was there with a couple of her ex model friends, ohhhhhhh so natural. not. When someone came up to her that actually knew who she was, she changed completely. Once the person was gone, she was a trash mouth, stuck up bitch. Her books say volumes about her. No one with any class would fill their books with pictures of herself. She says she doesn't like celebrities, which is such a lie, she's dying to be one and hang with the more popular crowd.
Nick is just like her, only not as bad.
wow, who knew I was going to vent like that, sorry,. I just don't think Nick is worth crying over, a celebration??????????? Absolutely. It's no accident he got replaced. The complaints by the MO's that come pouring in after being butchered left the producers no choice. And as for Car, the people just dont' see through her. Either way, who really cares? It's just a stupid show, one of hundreds of Reality shows that still come pumping out weekly. Celebrity used to mean something, now, ANYONE, at any time, could be on their own show, it sickens me. And whats with the Tattoo Shows? Since the Economy is so shitty, thanks you bastard GW, people can only afford to watch TV now, I guess they have to fill the gammet with shows for everyone, but don't you find it funny that commercial after commercial there are people who at least I, have no idea who they are. So many writers with great Treatments get blown off, while they produce all this crap.
Shutting up now, sorry, like I said, needed to vent.

holy cow, now that was long. I dont have to say anything now, it's all been said. Nick see ya you lasted way longer than you should have, you are no God, so get the hell over yourself. Carmindy I think most people know is fake, she can go too. In fact, the entire show has run it's length, I say cancel it and start over.

All I can say is Yea! I have never seen a cut and thought. "wow" which is what should really be said every time. I also agree with the others about his bobs and cuts. I think Ted is delightful, really which should be a change for that show,

Wow, the morons are out in force on this site.

Do you really think Nick "hates long hair," and is egotistical? What women need to learn is that length for length's sake is wrong--what's most important is a cut that fits you, your face and coloring.

Where does all the hate come from? I don't understand all the ranters and ravers here. Do you talk to your friends, family and co-workers like this? If you're this angry and hateful then the problem has nothing to do with a television show and everything to do with YOU.

I don't think people care about Nicks personality, who gives a crap. His job is to help people to love the way they look and to bring out their best. HE DOES NOT DO THAT, and anyone who actually thinks he's good at his job, knows nothing about style, hair or how hair dressers are supposed to behave. HE ALWAYS give the same cut, how is that fitting the style for the particular person, if they all have the same cut he ISN'T acting as a hairdresser, not GOD. Women LOVE their hair, really love it. After cutting it short from long, most women have nightmares nightly about having their hair back. There is no reason to cut it all off for the sake of not having long hair.
Carmindy's hair lately has looked fantastic, they curl it and spray each curl, which takes a while to get the look, but it's hot, and perhaps not for everyone, but the point is made, she looks gorgeous with her hair this way. As someone else said, when it was shorter she looked cute, but not hot.

I guarantee that when the MO hits Carms world, she must just want to cry for them. IT's evil to take someones hair and cut it so short, the same cut he gave the girl before her, and before her, and before her. The only difference is for women with curly hair, where he still cuts it short only it ends up looking like a boy or mullet. Why would so many people who have not compared notes, be venting the same thing, saying the same exact wording regarding his cuts. He was there far too long, yes I think he has an attitude and one that may be nice in the real world, but of all those on the show, he's the worst at making the people better. AND YES, sometimes, the other night in fact, the cut works for the woman. Sometimes it looks great, but I can still look at her and see how he could have done another cut, still a style and sassy, but not always so damn short. That is very traumatic for women, very.
As far as Hate, I dont' think people hate, they are just venting., That is what these "comments" are, people venting, and quite obviously the guy has really gotten under people's skin or they wouldn't be venting "hate" or whatever. This site is doing exactly what it was created for. Venting.
And since Nick could care what "we" think, hell he doesn't care about his client, and if there is a sense of hate here, perhaps it's because he has caused it with his absolute conceit and "power monger" attitude with the women before they even sit down.

People dont' discuss this usually why? Because they came here to vent. People are allowed to vent, what? Are you perfect? You don't get irritated when people do things that may piss you off? Most of us just dont' say anything. They come to the internet and vent. I don't think you are exactly the person who should be giving critiques or advice considering your post is the most negative on here.
And if people have issues, who the hell are you to even give a crap whether or not people dislike Nick or not? Are you some kind of saint? And your psychological profile that "everything to do with you", is actually weird. What the hell do you care, it IS JUST PEOPLE VENTING, something that Nick brought on himself, OH, and btw, he got fired so clearly the show thinks what the public thinks, he's got to go.
As do you.

Wow, Ted Gibson is amazing. It's not just the cuts, it's him. He is REAL. The only person except maybe Clinton, on this show that is REAL. He is so personable, and really wants to know what you want, not what HE wants..... hint hint Nick. You lost your job to your own conceit Nick. The person and their hair come first. And being adorable and warm, is something that has always been missing from Nick, and Carmindy as well. Although she at least tries to pretend to be real, though everyone over 17 knows she's fake. Too bad, people want to see REAL people, feel comfortable with them, not that they are with people who obviously think, talk and act as if they're so much better. No one is better than anyone. When will they learn that? Maybe when they're at home, watching what used to be their jobs.

So, what a relief that Nick is finally moving on...

You know what really bugged me about him, apart from the fact the he so very much enjoyed eliciting a big emotional reaction from all the poor women who didn't want short hair? He always cut curly hair very short and then gave it a blow out to make it poker straight....all very well and good, except curly hair shrinks approximately 2 inches shorter when it dries! I know, I have very curly hair. If I had experienced one of his "torture" cuts, I would have been devastated, especially the next day when I wasn't able to blow dry it poker straight. And, I don't like to blow dry my hair straight...I LIKE it curly! What happened to the radical concept of cutting curly hair properly to work WITH the curl????

Just my thoughts.....

During the first couple seasons, I think Nick did a great job, But I have noticed the last couple seasons, the cuts have been more hit or miss. Maybe he's just grown tired of the whole thing. Maybe the people coming on the show are becoming more difficult or demanding to work with. And let's face it, some of them had absolutely hideous hair that had tons of damage. I think a lot of times their hair ends up on the shorter side because he does try to get rid of the crappy pieces of hair.

But it never hurts to change things up a little. I'll be interested in seeing what the new guy does.

I think getting rid of Nick is the worst mistake they could have made. I will not watch the show if he isn't on it. Most women cry BEFORE he cuts it, and anything after that is almost always happy tears. He is an amazing stylist, and no two cuts are "identical" as so many people are saying. He doesn't hate long hair, some people keep a lot of length. He only cuts off the dead stuff or split ends. He gives the hair shape. Having long hair does nothing for a person's face. He's doing the right thing buy cutting most women's hair.

Also, he never cuts it that short. I had long hair, down past my waist, and I went from that to a pixie cut. THAT is short. Shoulder length is still considered long. 90% of women love the style after he's done, and she should not be let go.

I will miss Nick; he's my favorite part of the show. WNTW won't be the same without him, but I'll give Ted Gibson a chance. As for "always the same cut", I disagree, but longtiime viewers know that many of the makeup and clothes tips are pretty standard,too. Stacy even jokes about it in the ad for the show, structured jacket, long straight jeans/trousers, etc. Maybe the truth is that generalizations exist because they are universally flattering.

There is a reason that Nick says that he has to cut many of the women's hair short. Any GOOD hairstylist knows that it is nearly impossible to save severely damaged hair. These women probably haven't cut their hair in years and have horrible porosity. I don't think people give short hair enough of a chance. I would let Nick cut my hair and I don't let ANYONE but my sister cut my hair. He does a damn good job with what he's presented with. He doesn't give the same haircut to every single person, they look very different to me. If I lived in New York I would love to be his student.

He might come off as conceited because he actually does know best. He has his own school and is world renowned. Very few of the people sitting in his chair actually know anything about hair. If people aren't mature enough to handle a dramatic cut then they shouldn't have agreed to be on the show. I would threaten to take away all the new clothes and not air the episode if they gave Nick sass and disrespect the way some of them do.

Now I have to say something about Carmindy. She is one of the worst makeup artists I have ever seen. She rarely finishes the job and never gets the foundation color correct. I doubt she's even been to cosmo school. If they replace anyone it should be her. It would also be nice if she would start wearing bras under her burlap sack dresses.

Dear Anonymous, Mon, 07/06/2009 - 3:40pm: the return key is your friend.

I'm ambivalent about Nick. He could've stayed on the show forever and that would have been fine. A new face is fine too.

i think nick has done a great job for the most part. i have only seen a couple of cuts that i thought were not particularly flattering. and he has left length on women when they were insistent. the issue is, very few people have the body and facial bone structure to carry off long hair AND people come with a lot of damage on their ends. i believe he truly is trying to cut to best flatter each individual face + at the same time get rid of some damage. i think he gets it right 95% of the time. i can only remember ONCE where the person did not look any better or a little worse after.

i suspect people with have similar complaints about the new stylist...

I'm extremely sad that Nick is leaving. I may stop watching the show altogether. It's always been my dream to have Nick do my hair. And yes, he does cut people's hair shorter, but look at their long hair, it looked like Cr@p. After he's done, it looks great. I'm very sad!!!! Nick come back!!!!!

I've got my hair in an uneven bob. When my sister cut it off in class I thought I was going to cry. Short hair is easier to maintain & can be totally sexy and fun. Have any of you been to cosmo school? I have and I can tell you that short hair is better than damaged hair.
Carmady is a bad make-up artist & should leave, too.

I think Nick is alright but not the best that the show could have. As far as the people he couldn't really help, they looked like sh*t to begin with, hello, he's a beautician NOT a magician! Ted Gibson is a celeb stylist and well known in the industry. I vant wait to see what he does on the show!

I couldn't agree more that Nick needs to go. I love his accent and charming demeanor, but his cuts are matronly and far from feminine. He has no appreciation for hair that is shorter than chin-length. Yes, the contributors need something new, fresh and different, but even on the rare occasion when a woman comes to the show with healthy, beautiful long hair, he chops it into a soccer-mom do instead of giving it shape and style. I wouldn't let him touch me with a 10-foot pole. On the other hand, I can't believe anyone would say that Carmindy needs to go. She does a phenomenal job and she couldn't be more beautiful herself.

I don't understand why fans love to hate Nick. I thought he was great. He seemed like he like to have fun and the hairstyles were also great.

Okay, LISTEN UP! Those of you who think that Nick Arrojo is a wonderful hairstylist either 1. have short hair and don't remember when was the last time they felt sexy and 2. do not understand the complexities of a woman and her desire to feel beautiful. I have watched this show since it first started, so I can certainly speak from experience. Short hair cuts and long hair cuts can be BOTH beautiful on a face. BUT...when an insensitive hairstylist like Nick, chops off a woman's gorgeous long hair because he simply DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO CUT LONG HAIR...then my friends, we have a problem. When I see these women cry and cringe with pain as they look at their finished style OR when Nick viciously waves their fallen chunks of hair in their face, I must say that he truly is a cruel stylist. I wouldn't let him TOUCH my hair. I know for a fact that the second he would look at me, he would say "Alright, now today we're going to cut a lot off". And my reply would be " No, Nick you will not, you will listen to ME and my thoughts instead of doing whatever the fuck you want on MY hair". He DOES NOT LISTEN! And listening is crucial to making your clients happy. Women especially are very sensitive to their looks, and want to feel sexy! Who doesn't want to be a head turner?? And those women who are in the dating scene, I'm sorry but men LOVE to run their hands through long beautiful hair....it's sexy. But women CAN also look sexy with short hair. It's a preference and a decision that MUST be agreed upon by BOTH THE CLIENT AND THE STYLIST. People have too much faith in Nick simply because he is on a tv show. Well I believe that this does not make a hairstylist reputable. Nick needs to take a class into understanding the human emotion, and how women's minds work since his clients are primarily female. Making a client cry is NEVER a good thing. For example, the woman from texas was DEVASTATED that her hair was gone. I was so happy that for once she did something about it and took action against Nick. This may have been the catalyst to his termination. My opinion was that she looked terrible. She looked like an old woman with that short hair, and it was clear that she was trying to maintain a youthful look. So don't criticize her for that, its not wrong for mothers to want to stay beautiful even though they have 5 kids. Moms still want to look sexy for their husbands, instead of falling into the "Soccer Mom" category of casual dreariness, and loss of feminity. I am so thrilled to see what new life Ted Gibson will bring to the show.

All of u posting against Nick must be long, greasy haired porkers who wouldn't think a hair cut looked good if it weren't half way down your back with no shape or layers. Guess what ladies, and I use the term loosely, long greasy stringy hair never looked good. If your man is so worried about his women having long hair so that he doesn't feel like he is with a guy, then you must be doing something wrong! Most of u prob couldn't afford a haircut from Nick anyway! Nick's cuts look great, just bc everyone doesn't look like a country bumpkin doesn't mean there is something wrong with him. It's you that needs a new idea of what looks good!

And furthermore, of course he nor Carmindy doesn't ask the contestant what look they want... They r not there bc the won a fashion contest, they r there bc their friends and family were too embarrassed to be seen with them any longer, so no, I wouldn't think that N or C would ask the clients advice!!!

I am so sad taht Nick is leaving! and he's fun to watch, i dont think anyone dislikes him! he's awesome, and I wish him all the best

The people that dislike what Nick does must have long hair that is totally overdue for a cut or blind. People always tend to think they look good in long hair when they look absolutely awful; I would love to see their hair. Anyway, Nick has done a great job and I will truly miss him. I wish him the best.

Nick always cut hair short - regardless. Yet both Carmandy and Stacy both have very long hair. There is a real disconnect between what they have and what is force on the clientele. Yes, some do need a good cut because they clearly haven't been taking care of their hair in the first place, but others could use to have their long hair treated and styled...not butchered. Stacy and Carmandy should let Nick do their hair! Then see how quickly the shears go back in the drawer!

Nick has done beautiful cuts and styles on the show. I am still confused why they decided to let him go. I am a licensed cosmetologist and can clearly say that every hairstyle is different. Usually they haven't went to the salon for a cut in many years and\or it is severely damaged by hair color or to much blow drying. Also many have used box color which has to be grown out and cut out before coloring;otherwise the metal dyes in the box color will react with the new application of professional salon color. Nick knows exactly what to do and i am here to back him.

sheeeesh...you peeps are viscious.....i think they all do a good job considering the dinosauruses they get to improve....give them a break....

Does anybody know when this ted is starting? I keep seeing just Nick..unless i'm watching reruns. Anybody know??? thanks

Hi Anonymous! Ted Gibson's episodes will begin this Friday, July 24. Hope that helps!
