Sohni

Sohni, 26, is an outgoing, uninhibited woman from Chicago. She currently works for a security firm, but plans to attend law school. Sohni was nominated by her twin sister and her friends for her loud and crazy style. They believe that she bares too much skin and wears too many neon colors, making her look like she is club hopping all the time. They feel that her wardrobe makes her look like a teenager and does not reflect the thoughtful professional woman that she truly is.

Stacy and Clinton would like to give Sohni a more professional look that will set her on a more mature path. Nick Arrojo has his hands full with Sohni's mushroom-cloud hair that is patch-dyed with bright splashes of blonde. Carmindy has to teach Sohni to stop putting on eyeliner so thick that she looks like Cleopatra.
