Just watched episode #3. Does anyone else sort of want to slap Rosie...and Tina...and Beth Ann? Maybe it's just me.
Also, who was the blond chick in NY that Jonathan was dancing with? Wonder if Cessie knows...
Love Bobby. Jarrod is a blatant kiss-a**.

Isn't Jarrod the one he 'made room for' in Beverly Hills? I have the damnedest time keeping the names straight *no pun intended ) *. Anyway, I have to agree, if that's who that was. While watching it, my 11 year old son said 'SUCK UP!' at the exact same moment I did. *laughs* How obvious does butt kissing have to be when even the ELEVEN YEAR OLD spots it? Ugh.
I felt like Rosie was maybe a bit of a whiner, but in all honesty I think that Tina and Beth Anne were being hateful snots to her, so I can't totally blame her. I know their real problem is with Jonathan, and I think in *that* respect they're justified, but it's not fair to take it out on Rosie. They're right in basically trying to camp on his doorstep... every time you turn around, he's bitching about them 'wanting a piece of' him, but by the same token they're investing a HUGE amount of time and money, as are their investors, in a project that he's an integral part of, and he loves to brag about his name being all over it. It seems like he wants all the glory, and none of the work. He can't make meetings on time, he can't make himself available for the decision making process, he can't behave professionally... but boy does he want the fame and the money. If I were them I'd have washed my hands of him a LONG time ago. The man does NOT understand time management at ALL. He overbooks *i.e. the hair fiasco for the Golden Globes* and thinks nothing of it, then, like tonight at the B Michael show, he makes the whole world revolve around HIS hair 'concept'... the man has boundless ego and no respect for others. If I were that designer, I'd have told him point blank that it was MY show, not HIS, and the concept I wanted is what should be DONE. Jonathan's changing of the look the designer wanted was totally unacceptable, professionally speaking.
Sorry, I'm babbling... it's late and I'm blaming hormones

Okay, this show gets stupider by the episode. Jonathan saw his own vision of the fashion show, so he decides to change the look? I don't think so. B Michael (who is that guy?) should have just said, "No, Jonathan. This is what I want, and this is what I will get. Or you and your little kiss-ass employees can go tour Times Square." That was very unprofessional of Jonathan to do that. And what is with these two women moving into the office space and then just re-doing it to fit their needs. No way! I think those two women should take a look in the mirror and see how unprofessional that was!
And when is everyone going to stop being afraid of speaking their minds to Jonathan? So what if he tells you to hit the road, because one would still have their dignity intact -- which Jonathan knows nothing about, by the way. His shallowness -- and the whole LA shallow crowd -- are just the types which make the Third World nations hate us so much -- no depth, no spirituality, no outreach, etc...
I am so looking forward to the next episode when the publicity guy tells Jonathan off. And Jonathan -- the big baby -- hits the plyboard and cracks it. Yes, I know -- he does these big actions for the camera, but this just shows how truly unprofessional and immature this man is. Just because you own your own salons and such, that does not mean you are a success in life!

Jonathan is an experienced business man, you might not like the way he conducts himself with the cut throat business industry, but I garauntee you, he got to be this successful by knowing you can't stand around being Mr. nice guy, and trying to please everybody. I love his vision he has for how he wants to run his salon, and frankly, when it all comes down to it, it is all about his clients. Now, about the sneak peak into next weeks episode where Kimberly is upset about Kyra taking her baby and boyfriend to NY to do the hair show. Everyone has to pay their dews. There are not many jobs where you walk right in and start from the top. By now, you would think Kim would know Jonathan well enough to know, that she is creating DRAMA that he just doesn't need at this point in his life. And if this show is so well scripted as someone suggested earlier, then the minute Kimberly suggest she doesn't know if she still fits in his salon, he should walk her to the door. AND FOR GOD Sake, get rid of the little brown headed bowl boy. (the one that is suppose to be an assistant but you only see him playing around). He plays too much and doesn't bring anything to the show or business.

Found this show intriguing last season - this season it's more outrageous then ever! Love it!
RE: Johnathon - I pretty much agree with what's already been said: ALL EGO. But *sigh* -- hugely hunky, too...
Is his hair for real? I'm no hair dresser..., er - sorry! "stylist", but it IS a bit high on the old forehead. That perfect hairline DOES look a bit like the always-crunched-up mess coming out the dome of a Barbie doll.
Theory on the relationship w/Sescie: doesn't it seem to you guys that having a girlfriend is just another way to show that he's got it all SO together that he not only has "the American Dream" and that he "owns 2 businesses, is starting his own hair product line..." and blah, blah, blah, bleech - AND (as better said above), he's so DAMN together and cool that he's a confident enough man to have a therapist? woooooo *waves hands*
Doesn't seem like she's into him too awfully much. Methinks one of his friends is pretending for him (conveniently he chose a FEMALE friend to play the "better half" role, so as to squelch last season's gay rumors - the John-man's ego couldn't handle THAT!)
Then when the 2 New Yawk Wenches create trouble, he's all "I'm just about the hair, man". So which is it, John-man? Are you the big Trumpmeister business juggler or are you 'just about the hair, man'? *rolls eyes*
And those NY gals- omg, they INSIST on moving into his office, they inform everyone they're "very high maintenance", then proceed to BE HIGH MAINTENANCE and have the nerve to act HURT when they're told to leave? Oh, those poor wittle sweet-ums..... 'Grow up!'
YAY-HOO on this SHOW! I dare any writer to try to flesh out this extreme of a cast of characters and I would double-dare any casting directer to find this broad a range of personalities to play them... only REAL people lving their REAL lives, and showing their REAL egos and insecurities could fill up a show like these LA folks do! Scripted? Some parts, probly, but I bet for the most part, it's mostly NOT.
There's a lot of reality trash on TV, but this latest version is TOO much fun!
I'm voting FOR this show - it's entertaining as hell!

Get Over it, you only see what the cutting room wants you to, and, apparently they know what people wanna see! You keep watching and rushing right in here to start chatting about it! Wanna do Damage, don't watch the show or post about it, But then your probly not understanding how things work in real life! Talking about someone, Good or Bad, just makes more people interested, and the Individual more Popular! I Just Wonder where your 11yr old Picked that "Phrase" up?
Bottom Line, He's getting Paid, and on TV, and your not!
And I guess the two of you have never, ever, ever "sucked up" for personal gain, Huh! Oh wait, then you couldn't possibly be Human"!

*stares @ Greg* Who pissed in your Post Toasties this morning?
A) I never said that Jarrod didn't have talent. Talent and brown nosing aren't mutually exclusive, FYI. The man did an amazing job on the foil placement, but he also did an amazing job going of sucking up. He's doubly skilled.
2) Does suck up qualify as a curse on your planet? I can think of far worse things an 11 year old could be saying, but maybe where you live 'suck up' has a dark, heretofore unrevealed meaning. I tremble at the thought of the life of crime my son will now be forced into because he *gasp!* learned to say 'suck up' at such a tender age. I'm sure popping a cap in someone's butt is next... Oh, the humanity.
3) Bitter... Yeah, I'll get right on that. One can be interested in watching drama and have an opinion on said drama, and the characters involved, without being bitter. I can even, if I so choose, be offended by rude behavior without it automatically meaning I'm bitter. I could, and in this case do, have a) legitimate points, and

access to an open forum where one is supposed to, wonder of wonders, DISCUSS said opinions and points. If you're so angry, Big *coughs* Greg, at someone like myself daring to criticize a persona from a television show, perhaps this isn't your milieu.
I'm afraid I didn't apply for the job at Jonathan's salon. It's one hell of a commute from Arizona to Beverly Hills.

Big Greg, your snobbishness is amusing. What a philosopher you are -- NOT! I admit, I watch the show because there is nothing else on at the time slot, so it makes for some entertainment. I keep hoping Jonathan gets waylaid by one of the construction guys or slapped by one of his employees. And why should I be jealous of him or anyone with their own television show? That doesn't make for happiness, baby! And it certainly does not make for success! Having survived cancer, every moment is a success filled with happiness.

Hitler, Saddam, Imelda, the executives from Enron, WorldCom and Tyco were also living their dreams. If living your dream at any cost, even when it involves degrading other people, lying, stealing and (in some cases) killing makes someone "succesful" in your opinion, well... I pity your small world. For every evil leader there's always a weak follower willing to help them fulfill whatever their selfish ego wants to achieve. I find both sides sad.
On a different related topic, Brad Pitt was recently complaining to a TV reporter about his wish of getting the press to pay attention to the important issues in the world rather than the fact he was dating Angelina Jolie. He mentioned it was possible to erradicate hunger in some parts of Africa if those people could get the proper media attention they needed in order to get help. For the first time, I thought Brad Pitt had something valuable to say to the press.
Every job is important -- the hair stylists, the maids, the doctors, the nurses, the designers and I can go on and on. When you actually go to some of those needy countries as a volunteer like I have and see a mother who's so weak of hunger she can't even cry as she sees her newborn died in her arms becuase of lack of medical attnetion to cure a disease, I'd like to see some of the people of this message board defend their statement when they say a good hairdo save lives. I should have sent Jonathan that day to Burkina Faso with some Dirt, Jonathan Products and a blow drier. I'd would have loved to see how a good hairdo would have brought that boy back and gave some strength to a mother who spent days under medical care until she was able to finally get her strength back and walked.
Don't tend to get into this kind of talk, but some people on this board need a reality check. Before someone on this board dares to say the world of hair saves lives, I encourage you to open the newspapers, go to the internet and read and do something to really save lives. There's a difference between boosting self esteems and really saving lives. My abilities as an Award Winning Art Director in that part of Africa that afternoon were useless. A curling iron and some Bumble and Bumble Sumo Wax would have not helped much either. That gave me a sense of perspective and humility about the world I live in and wouldn't change it for all the money in the world. That may friend, makes me succesful... and has nothing to do with money (which I have enough).

Erm...you're equating Jonathan, a hair stylist, to Hitler and Saddam? Maybe saying hair-stylists save lives is a bit much, but so is even mentioning Hitler and Saddam on a message board about cutting hair, haha. It's not THAT serious of a subject. Take your high horse to a message board about hunger in Burkino Faso. They might take you a little more seriously there. Whoa nelly!

Really, some hairstylists do save lives! One example is there was a heavy set girl who wanted her last day on earth (she was contemplating suicide) to be a good one.
She went to a salon got her hairdone, makeup etc. She called the next day and told the stylist "Thank you" for saving my life. She finally saw her for who she really was and didn't want it to end. So, yes in a way we as stylist do save lives even if it isn't to that extent.

He seems like a very nice person, but would you want someone that works for you to behave like that? Playing video games in the front of your store, trying to hustle clients while they are in the shampoo chair, and generally not focusing on doing work or trying to help out. There's always something that needs to be done no matter where you work. And while a playful, friendly attitude can be a welcome addition to someone's day, it can be overdone. The workplace is where you have to be careful when you have that kind of personality. You never know who is going to be offended and feel like you've been too familiar with them or gotten too close. Also, when you're watching the shows, it seems like he's more interested in playing and being funny than in working. Hopefully it is just the editing.

As for him complaining about how hard his day was, How do you know what kind of day he'd had? How about YOU try and stand on your feet for 12 plus hours a day as well as try to run 2 salons keep up with what employees are doing and launching a product line. Really!! were you filming the series? do you know how much time was spent on hair? the jewelers you were referring to were rude and Jonathan had EVERY RIGHT to say what he did!! I would have and have done the same to people who distract my client when I'm trying to do my job. Until you've been in a hair stylist's shoes you should choose your words a little more wisely!!! Sounds like you have much more than an "only complaint" Get a clue!!

The only thing im getting tired of hearing is " this is my salon " dont talk, look, breath wrong in his salon. The 28ths episode where he fudes with the bottle design guy was awful... I mean come on all of us carry matches with us, light the match Jonathan there is a funky stench around you, you maybe king of hair but you are not God. He needs to back away for a moment and breath, lets see the nicer side of him

Jon needs to just focus on hair. And he needs to surround himself with good people. He seems good at picking talent for hair; he needs to not put up with these disrespectful business folks. There are better people available.

I just want to say that I watched the first season of Blow Out and I loved it! I am now so into the second season. Jason is my favorite stylist! Although I love the show it would be nice for Jonathan to get at least one African American stylist in either shop. He had a guy in the first one but then he just kind of disappeared. Still love the show though!

I agree with the Viscardi about loving the show and if you dont then change the channel. I have been to salons that arent even half as swanky and certainly not in Beverly Hills and the stylists havent done anyone famous and think they are more important than Jonathan! Keep up the good work J!

Hi all, I am a stylist 10 years/ manager, and now owner, as well as a single mother. My most recent addition to my business has been hair extesions.( please excuse my spelling it stinks) I am curious as to why last night the stylist only did a parshal head of extentions, at least that is what the final look looked like to me. I thought she could have gone up a bit higher to give jonathan more hair to work with on the cut. But I don't know the client and the final look she wanted. I am assuming I can't find out the product line of the extensions, But I am currious. I currently use Greatlengths hot fusion.

He looks at Scott a little too long and longingly. I think he needs to come out of the closet. That's his real issue in therapy he needs to let his gayness come out, embrace it and he will be a nicer queen.

Looking "long and longlingly" at Scott? Don't really think so. You're gonna need more proof than that to prove Jonathan is homosexual. He was just trying to keep tabs on Scott, since he tends to be so flamboyant and flighty. Making sure he gets the hair swept and the heads shampooed. Like a good assistant should.

Happened upon the program for the 1st time last night and can't help it, i love these (non-game show) reality shows. But this "therapist"! You'd think Jonathan would be able to afford good mental health care. My guess is since no reputable therapist would agree to have a client's sessions filmed -- even if the client wants to -- she's the only one he could get who would do it. She's like a first-year therapy student (maybe she IS a first-year therapy student), she finds it impossible to just let him talk and think without responding immediately and she's usually responding as a friend would, not a therapist. And when she's not doing that, you can almost hear her say to herself, "Now paraphrase what the client just said and repeat it back to him." What an amateur. Gotta wonder if she's really a therapist or if she's a friend of his who agreed to play the role.
And about this bottle-designer guy. Silly, silly man. Has no idea that he and Jonathan are not on equal footing in this situation -- but even if they were, this guy has no idea how not to antagonize someone. He may be incredibly talented creatively, who knows, but he should have the sense to let someone else run the business end of things.
Naturally, I find the people who are fun to criticize the most entertaining. Which means I LOVED The Restaurant....

Personally i think that the structure of the salon is okay! It could use some improvements but i like most of the stylists attitudes. I was in Beverly Hills last month and i regret not having known about his salon! I went to Vidal Sassoon and it was not great as i thought it would be. Jonathan's Salon is one of the best. Vidal does not have as many celebrity clientele as Jonathan does. I think that he is a great stylist and he has his work to show for it!
