All I read on these boards is how badly J treats his stylists...J is giving these people the opportunity of a lifetime in their chosen professions.

What showed me that he knows exactly what he is doing is the way he turned around the entire staff intervention at the end of season one. He made it about THEM not about the salon and those that understood what he is talking about (Alyn, Kiara) and still with him. The ones that rolled their eyes (Jenn) are gone.

iF i HEAR SOO hOT, CHICK, DUDE ........PUKE

Yeah, just like season one, when he compared his profession to that of a doctor! Ultimately, he will either fail as a business man because he doesn't listen to the experts who know more about launching a product than he does, or he will limp along as he is now doing, having a revolving door of stylists coming and going, because he doesn't have the skills necessary to manage people. He reacts to what everyone does or say, instead of taking the lead, and showing them the way. He's way too whiney to be successful. He was totally inconsiderate of Alyn, in making him change his plans, and then calling him and saying something to the effect that this is Beverly Hills and the client wanted only Jonathon. He KNEW that before he made Alyn change his plans. Bottom line- he's just not that bright, people!

I hope that they show more of the assistant Scott. He looks so cute and fun. Why is the other assistant Edward so mean? Did you see how snotty he was when Jonathan wasn't working? Overall, I thought the first eposide was fun to watch. Although I don't always agree with Jonathan's management style, you have to admire his dedication to perfection.

JONATHAN ANTIN IS THE NEW PATRICK SWAYZE!!! I am currently in cosmetology school, and I find that with all of the pressure in a salon Jonathan is handling things quite well. Afterall, he is running 2 salons one of which is in Beverly Hills! I find that Jonathan is amazing at his craft and well he's quite pleasing to the eye. Am I the only one out here that finds this guy extremely attractive? Also, would'nt it be nice if Jonathan hosted a contest, where a few lucky stylist got to visit his salons? BRAVO....THIS IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD CONSIDER, AND BECAUSE IT IS MY IDEA I SHOULD GET TO COME ANYWAY!!

Please, someone explain to me why I found myself watching this car wreck again??? Like a car wreck, you know you don’t really want to see the carnage, but you just can’t help but take a look.

I too had promised myself not to watch this season since I found Jonathan to be such an offensive, whiney, narcissistic, prima dona publicity wh*re, but when it came time to decide what to watch during that hour, despite my better nature my remote hand inexplicably selected this show. It can only be that BravoTV has succeeded in its devious plot to perfect the implantation of subliminal mind control waves into its rerun episodes of The West Wing.

All I have to say about the therapy session is Jonathan should find himself a new one because CLEARLY the job of unscrewing all his personality disorders is too big for this lady. On the other hand, she could just be biding her time until that summer home and early retirement are paid for.

Loved his lead-in bit about some of his former employees from Season One. No shock about Alicia. Remember that painful store-to-store tour of Rodeo Drive with the Official Greeter guy introducing her around. She looked ever so thrilled didn’t she? And she hardly went out of her way to take advantage of the opportunity and drum up some business. I was surprised to hear about Jenn. She seemed very loyal and, frankly, one of the few voices of reason amidst all that melodrama and whining. Brandon -- I realize this nonsense is edited for television for maximum drama, and I agree that Brandon certainly appeared to be a cocky smarta$$ with a lot of attitude, but it sure looked to me like J’s reaction to him was competitive and acrimonious from the start and so over-the-top out of proportion to each alleged transgression that it simply HAD to be a put on . . . . . or see again paragraph re J’s need for THERAPY above.

Absolutely ridiculous, inappropriate and unprofessional behavior with the jeweler and Alia Shawkat’s mother. Poor behavior but ignorable with the jeweler, but to disrespect that girl’s mother by speaking to her with that tone? Inexcusable. And poor Alia looked so uncomfortable, so of course they chose that moment to stick the camera practically up the poor child’s nose. And HE keeps Kristen Bell (one of my newest faves) waiting for over an hour and then has the nerve to get his knickers in a twist because she had a last minute dress emergency and kept him waiting? You can’t learn that kind of narcissism – you have to be born with talent like that. That said, ultimately I thought both young women looked terrific for their big award night out in spite of the drama.

Due to that subliminal mind control thing, I’ll probably end up watching again, much to my shame. If it turns out I’m wrong about that whole mind control thing, maybe Jonathan will give me the number of his shrink. Do you suppose she’s taking new patients or is he a full-time job?

Are you kidding me? Is someone jealous??? Thats the perks of being the owner, if you dont like the way he runs his salon then go cut hair at Wal-Mart's salon!!!! I admire Jonathan, I am currently pursuing a career in acting, and Beverly Hills is cut-throat, and I'm sure he's paid his dues, if I were them I would be so thankful that I was even in the position to be bossed around by Jonathan!!!

well i have to say i watched not all of season one but every time i watched it i just loved it.. the drama is SOO right on the money.. and jonathon cracks me up.. that man is one stressed out dude..but i gotta say .. im in cosmetology school and he is where i wanna be.. i wanna do those $500 cuts and be known as the best..

however finger waves buddy.. are NOT what u did.. u did pin curls and a comb out.. finger waves are with gel and hardened then combed out for that type look.. unless he got it different..those are the fingerwaves i had to test on!

I have never seen a more self-centered, arrogant, rude, egotisical man in my life.

I don't care about Jonathan. Any person who pays $500 for a haircut is a fool. Send the $500 to charity.

After watching the show and hearing his constant whining, and me, me, me attitude, I felt sick. The fact that he was ready to blow off one hollywood "star" for another is disgraceful. AFter HE shows up 1 hr late for the next "star", he has the audasity to be miffed when she interupts HIS time to try on her dress. WAAAAAAAAAAA!

Jonathan is nothing more than a spoiled brat. He doesn't want his stylists to think about themselves, however look at their boss.

What a loser. The therapists visit..what a joke. Poor Jonathan. I bet he paid a hefty fee to whine to her. She would have been better off with a haircut at Fantasic Sams.

While he may have talent doing hair (not $500 worth) he treats peaople like dirt. He shows no true caring for anyone but himself. He should live his life out with "Gloria".


LOSER!

Just gleamed Jonny's product range on the Sephora website and I don't understand the rationale of his product pricing. I suppose when he said-"whatever, that's your job...I'm just a stylist," was probably not all the brightest decision. Why should I pay only four to five dollars more for a bottle of shampoo in comparison to a smoothing serum (styling product)?

Core product, especially the conditioner should always market more than an emerging styling product. Also, the line does not have an anchor item; possibly an intensive repair and/or conditioning treatment. Core product is key and styling gems excel when they are just that...when they ARE gems. I'll still try the product. I get the whole Minimalist concept-but Jonny, honey-there has to be some reasoning behind the pricing. Good show besides the rest!

Man! The guy's got BALLS. Anyone who would go on national TV to let anyone and everyone see that his $500 haircut looks about the same as anyone else's $15 one, has got COJONES!

I missed the first few minutes of the season 2 opener but I saw that Jenn was gone. Could someone tell me where she went out of curiosity please? Thanks!

I love Jen! She is awesome, and I too hope she told Jon boy to take a flying leap!

I was excited about the new season starting, mainly because last year was such a train wreck. This year...I'm just plain scared. Being in the industry for quite sometime now and working for a major manufactuerer as an educator, this guy is single handledly portraying the perception of this industry as a bunch of emotionally, spoiled, over dramatic "artists". A persons perception becomes their reality, and this is not good. I've been asked by passengers on several flights as well as clients, since I'm all over the country, if I know this guy? If I did I wouldn't admit it!

Five things Jon boy needs to do ( I refuse to call him by his pretencious name) *no offense to anyone else named Jonathon.

1. Study Milady's Standard on finger waves what they are and how they are done. Think Charlize Theron at the Oscars 4 years ago, those were finger waves jon,jon.

2. Understand that just because one adds a pin to a "barrel curl" does not make it a "PIN curl" See Renee Z in "Chicago"

3. Before making a statement that "there is nothing I don't know about hair" THINK, because you don't.

4. If a TOTALLY Vegan product were avaialble on the market place with no sulfates or perservatives it wouldn't last but maybe three - four days and then stink to high heaven. Leave the manufacturing of products to the scientist IDIOT!

5. When in the service industry like ours, ALWAYS treat people with RESPECT! Besides Jon boy when you were doing Alaha's hair you were the HIRED HELP, not the one going to the globes!

What exactly made Jen awesome?

The fact she was supposed to be J's right hand and then basically lead a palace coup against him? OR was it that she has no expeirence running a business, yet rolled her eye in response to everything he said? OR perhaps it was that she didn;t want to work the fashion show due to leather, YET loved the idea of getting Botox injections?

To say that J fired her beacuse she is on a new show is insane, HOW do you think she got noticed for that new show!

The bottom line is this guy J can be a star maker if you let him...something Alyn realizes...(although I would have reimbured him for his changed flight if I was J)...

Sure he is an egomanic, self-centered, etc, but that describes every successful businessman of the last 25 years!

HELP! I couldn't find it on any channels in Canada, at least not my part of Canada. We have Bravo too but it seems to be a Canadian version. Does anyone know if it's airing here or if not now, will it be later in the year????

I can't believe I'm desperate to see this show but I am. Season 1 was unreal. Can't wait to see Season 2.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Watching Blow Out is like watching a train wreck. You know you should turn your head but ya just can't bring yourself to do it. I am hooked on this show even though it just soo bad. Jonathan is too good looking for his own good. He can't pass a mirror. Blow Out is soo scripted it isn't even funny. That whole deadline on his product line is a lie. They just did it for drama. Would you pay 500 for a hair cut by the great Jonathan?

The crack about having a fat shampoo person was awful. Are the only people allowed to live in CA a size 0? I guess the fact that I wear an 8-10 would make me morbidly obese by their standards.

I totally agree with what you said reffering to Jen Zig. She did do all the things you mentioned, however when you asked the question, "what made Jen so awesome?" I guess my point in the past post wasn't clear...her work as a stylist is technically sound and therefore her work, I feel, as a stylist with over 20 years in the biz, is awesome, as well as her look very fashion forward.

I have many a salon owner that has ego, in this industry it comes naturally. Yet when someone like J is so self absorbed in his own world to the point that he says things like "there isn't anything I don't know about hair" PLEASE!!! and then demonstrates what he calls a pin culr or finger wave...that's basic cosmetology school, granted it's not practiced that much these days but with that I see why.

When was this man born? He is soooo sensitive, deep penetrating eyes, and cold stone nutty! Scorpio? Yes, I went there folks with the false knowledge of astrology.

There is nothing more nauseating than such a over dramatic flamer!!!

Ugh! Is it just me or do Tina and Bethann need attitude adjustments? I know they are on the marketing side, but c'mon. Without Jonathan, there would be no Jonathan Product. Seems they should treat him with more respect and lose the attitude. They're also not very good role models for young women. It would be better to see a powerful woman who does not feel like she has to act like a (you know what) in order to be successful. People are watching you ladies and your behavior is not becoming.

what i hate is the stylists thinking they should be charging for haircuts for more than $15. open your own salon if you don't like the customers

I, personally, don't know how J works with all those crybabies! I like the fact that he charges $500 for cuts. Why not? Its BH! They don't HAVE to pay it! More power to him. I like the look of the second episode. I wanna see J go off on the product designer.

It certainly is entertaining! Who thinks Jonathan knows he's good-looking? What happened to the assistant he hired when Kimberly went on the floor? I liked her.

BTW, he IS charging what the market will bear. Those people don't care how mch they pay!!!

partyslut, I guess that kinda goes with the territory; I mean, beautiful women WANT him to cut their hair! Its GOT to be good for self-image!LOL!

Thank you KiKi10, As a hairstylist I total agree. Whats that saying "you get what you pay for". I love what J is accomplishing. The salon is beautiful. What I don't understand for all of those people that don't like/ can't stand the show and come on the mess boards and post something??? If you don't like it why are you taking the time to get on here and post??
