If you are thinking..what's better the motor driven or the magnetic motor?...in my humble opion, the motor driven with detachable blades hands down. I've never replaced my motor driven clippers, magnetic I had to all the time.
I agree hands down, my Osters are the best. Way better than the Wahls I had forever. The Osters were a little bit more to get used to, they weigh more and the blades are different than just changing guards, but as far as clipper cuts go, omg they make it so much easier, and the cut looks a whole lot better, much cleaner.

She's gotten alot of complaints that it seems much shorter than the others stylists cuts more of a 2 than a 4 but I had similar complaints years ago too! When I checked sites it says the lengths are comparable but by eying it it does seems shorter. What do you think of that? That's part of the reason I've shied away from the oster clippers. Now granted the woman is grating and annoying and maybe she's just irritating the clients before she even starts however I do know that she has all of the lengths of guards as I've looked at the numbers and they say the number 3 is comparable to 1/2 inch. Have you ever noticed this problem?
I just switched from the Wahls to the Osters back in December, and true the blades are not the same as the Wahls, or any guards. They may be marked a 3 but its not the same as a 3 guard. A 3 3/8 is very close to a 4 but still closer to a 3 guard. A 1 is skin skin skin. You can get a comparison chart that compares the Oster blades to the Wahl and Speed (red guards) it is very helpful until you get used to them.

Hey I totally agree with you on LOH. No offense to John Antin, but we girls and guys need a lot of help when it comes to hair. Oh Speaking of which LOH I read somewhere that you don't have to wash your hair everyday, but I work with patients in a hospital and sometimes I get patients that like to grab anything and everything. Including hair help me.

Hey Shaybo, hope they aren't pulling as they grab...OUCH! You may remember back in the day when mothers told their daughters to brush their hair 50 times on the right and 50 times on the left...not only was this to prevent tangles it was to remove hair that naturally sheds or falls out, as well as spread the natural sebum or oils from scalp to end thereby giving a natural shine to the hair.
Fast forward to today...it's a "wash and go" world shampoos remove those natural oils thereby taking the natural shine down the drain. Thus the reason so many "shine" sprays, gels and balms. Is it better to not wash everyday? That's really up to the individual, many people feel their hair becomes oily or greasy if they go a day without shampooing, others can go several days and all is well. Since you have people that like to grab hold, I can certainly understand shampooing everyday, it would freak me out to have several pairs of hands in my hair and not shampoo it.
Does shampooing everyday harm the hair? The verdict is out on this, there are those that will say yes and others will say no. My opinion based on the science of hair, is no. Shampoo's are made with gentle cleansers or surfactents with everyday use in mind and most are acid based just like the hair. Hair has a pH of 4.5 to 5.5 which means is acidic, anything over 7 on the pH scale is alkaline or drying to the hair, an example is Tide with Bleach it has a pH of about 12. Although we wouldn't shampoo our hair with it, there are shampoo's like those that claim to be a shampoo and conditioner that are around the same pH scale. I mention all of this because those that say yes, that shampooing everyday is bad, are basing that answer on the shampoo's of yesterday where the main active ingredient was lye which is alkaline or drying to the hair.
So, my recommendation to you would be to shampoo on the days that you work AND wear a bandana, that gives them something to grab first, and on the days you don't work don't shampoo. Shower though. just kidding
Also...thanks for the vote!
ENJOY!

It should be called - "I work in a public contact field but I have no clue how to handle people". Jonathan is the president of the club!
Any one who is a hair "lord" should be able to verbally interact with their customer/employee and draw from them their thoughts regarding hair or product bottle style (although there is NO excuse for that lame #*@ pitchman). A "lord" would respond to the client/employee in a civilized manner and discuss the "lord's" views on the topic. Only a hair "cutter" would be unable to engage their client/employee in a collaborative process.
Please Jonathan, for the sake of the follicled population (and those poor souls forced to make their living by interacting with you) find a new job if you refuse to use your people skills. At least limit yourself to a small, select number of clients willing to pay $500.00 to listen to your drivel while getting a $100.00 haircut! No one cares how tough your overburdened life is. Try working for a living - try teaching.
On second thought, leave the teaching to the professionals. Try drinking, the bartender's paid to listen to your whining.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your dad Liz. It sounds like you have your hands full...everything happens for a reason and the sacrifices you make today will come back to you.
Rememeber this: the universe dosen't always give us what we WANT but rather what we NEED. Although many times we don't see it or realize it at first, if we can grow through various experiences both good and bad we are better able to face the experience again, or to help others facting similar circumstances.
Just a quick sidenote...we never have less responsibilities as our children get older, they just become more expensive. If I may suggest something and if I'm outline you can tell me to back off...if you want to work full-time, create the GOAL of going full-time at a definate date. Then it becomes real and you can plan on how it will happen. I understand you have alot going on, but dreams and those "I'm gonna do's" tend to get lost. Remember in this industry full-time is considered 30 hours a week, that's three 10 hour days or five 6 hour days....not bad.

No that's not out of line. LOL. I'm not really sure if I *want* to go back to work full-time *GRIN* it seems as if I should. I'm really excited right now since the news is they are putting in a Paul Mitchell school in the next town over next year! All the classes I want and different choices in the profession to be had. Im happy to say the least.
OH on the bad side tried the shampoo and conditioner from Jon's line(for dry hair) and I wasn't impressed. I really like the Dirt and the Smooth serum but I really like Alterna, biolage, sleek, nexxus, Broccato, PM, much better. I had to recondition and use a leave in conditioner to comb my hair easily. i expected the conditioner to be much better. That's a shame. I'll use it on my daughter but right now I'm using ultra-hydrating shampoo(biolage), the sleek masque, and the fortifying leave-in from biolage on her hair as it's quite long. I don't think it will be conditioning enuf for her either. Well live and learn. I can foist it off on my hubby.
Have a great week-end

Hey Liz, Don't give up on JP shampoo/conditioner just yet. I wasn't sure I liked it the first time I used it, but tried it a for few more days. Big difference. It was almost like I needed the get the rest of my old product out of my hair to see any good results. I started with the moisturizing shampoo/conditioner, then got the volumizing S/C and have been alternating them. It works for me, but perhaps your hair is just a lot dryer than mine is. Everybody is different. I'm still not sure if I want to try Dirt though. Given that it's SO humid in the SouthEast these days, I'm desperate for some fuzz control, so I might break down and give it a try. Of course I'm overdue for a haircut too, so that doesn't help either!

I agree with you GV, you have to give the shampoo a chance. It seemed to me a good 4 days and wow what a difference. It's true, it's like it strips your hair of all the bad stuff and then your hair is ready to absorb what you need. My hair has NEVER looked so good! All my co-workers and friends have noticed it. I didn't tell anyone that I was using it and once I did they want to buy it. I think you would really love the Dirt GV, it smells wonderful and it's not going to make your hair greasy at all. Just remember to use a *dab* about the size of a nickle and rub it in your hands first. It's amazing If you try it, let me know how you like it!

Hey Totally agree with you on that. Teaching is a very good field to be in. The field I work in he wouldn't last five minutes I'm a C.N.A. and in my job you have to leave your attitude at the door. You're there to clean up patients and make sure that they're comfortable and hold their hand if they're scared . Plus you have to comfort the family members when their family member is dying. I'm not complaining mind you I learn alot and the nurses that I work with are awesome.

Hi,
I can hardly wait to get my hands on some of his products! Unfortunatley everywhere I look they are sold out....so this might mean something huh? I'm especially looking forward to the dirt....since I have the long layered cut he normaly uses it on. I had my hair dresser cut it just a slight bit shorter than I am used to (at my request) and ughhhh waiting for it to grow back to its normal length. I will be a long haired girl for the rest of my life.
As for Jonathan, he is quite the character. The handsome brooding type of man I go for, did I mention controling and gorgeous too? Yes, a personalty like his can be overwhelming....but look how much he has accomplished with his no nonsense perserverance? He knows what he wants and goes after it. I am a firm believer in if you want something badly enough you will eventually get it. Its always worked for me.
His crew seem like they would be a blast to work with too....even though Kimberly gets on my nerves just a bit with her whining. Shes young, a stylist in the meca of great hair...does she think success is as fast as a mcdonalds drive through?
I love this mans show...even with the staging he inspires me to be take the time to go more often to be pampered. Now if only someone would think to open a salon in chicago,....wonder what magic he could perform on windy city hair? Hes hot...if comes to the city I will cut work to see him.

Hi Shaybo, I've been styling hair for quite some time now, and I feel like if I'm going to work with something (hair) then I need to know about it both from a scientific standpoint as well as from a creative aspect. Not to mention that I train other stylists and coach platform artists as well as being a platform artist myself. Besides, I have clients that ask the same questions. One of the main problems with the hair industry is that stylists won't tell their clients the "what" and "how" to recreate the look they get in the salon. That's the number one reason why clients leave their stylist.
Didn't think of the bandana not being professional, sorry for that one. Just started typing and not really thinking about your profession and professionalism.

Velvet it's getting close to another weekend. LOL
That is a great cut and style! So let's walk this through...judging by the style, three things probably standout to you:
1. Movement of the hair.
2. The lenght
3. "flickiness" of the ends (technical term flickiness)
Can this work on fine hair? It can, yet you need to ask yourself are you willing to style it everyday? If not this might not be the right style for you.
It looks as though it's two cuts in one...underneath is razored to add texture and build volume at the scalp, the top looks to be dropped over and layering towards the face...think Dorothy Hamil meets Joan Jett. The Dorothy TYPE, not exact, cut underneath and the layering and length of Joan Jett.
Not seeing your hair, I would suggest that although you have fine hair, if it's A LOT of hair then go for it! One precaution, search for a stylist that has a portfolio of HIS/HER work, not a "look book" of pictures taken from a magazine, but their actual work, and look specifically at cuts that are razored. Can this cut be done without a razor? Sure it can.
For locks of love your hair needs to not have been colored or any chemical treatments such as perm etc... and it must be at least 10 inches in length. It's a great foundation, for a great cause and you'll have a new look yourself!
ENJOY
Ok, I have shown this pic to all my friends and they love the cut and thinks it would look good on me. Now , the next question, Do you know of anyone in northeast Ohio that can do that cut for me? I live in Akron, about 30 miles from Cleveland. I would be willing to travel depending on how far it is. We are going to the Bahama's the last weekend in Sept 23-28th and my hubbys class reunion is Oct 8th, so you know I have to look my best (Lots of old girlfriends) As Jonathan says " it's all about the hair" lol You mentioned that you would be coming here but you wasn't sure when. Did you find out? Would you be willing to do my hair with that cut? I will pay whatever you charge and would be willing to pay for a hotel to put you up for the night. (you know those rent by the hour ones?) JUST KIDDINGGGGG! lol Would a Holiday Inn do? Let me know what you think and get back to me. Do you have an email addy that I can contact you? Hate using the boards for my personal stuff.

LordOfHair,
Where can one find hairstyles that are for short hair without being too "out there", and easy to do? My hair is short, but I do want it to look feminine but it is so thick and has to be textured ever so often. Too much texturing, too often, makes for a bad growing out period (a real pain). I am using the concentrator as you suggested in an earlier email but can not seem to keep the lift, any other suggestions? You are ever so kind to help us out with our hair problems. Thanks

Thats ok, and thanks for the advice. Earlier you were talking about shampoos containing alk.. something or other and I looked on my 2n1 shampoo and it didn't contain anything like that. I use Garnier Fructis for dry or damaged hair. I'm sorry if I ask too many questions and seek out advice you're probably thinking god what a ditz, but thats ok everybody in work jokes about how ditzy I can be and I agree and then sometimes I shock them by telling them something that they didn't know.

Your best bet for an accurate answer is to go to www.jonathanproduct.com and click on the Contact link for either Customer Services or Sales & Marketing. Send them an email from a "legit" address (meaning not hotmail, yahoo, etc.) and that hopefully will get you the information you need. I'm sure they are innundated right now because JP is such a hot commodity (so I wouldn't expect an immediate response). I've certainly cleaned out QVC and Sephora for my personal stash.

Grey Violiner How much is Jonathan's Product Line? The reason why I'm asking is because I'm on a very tight budget and every penny that I earn has to go a long long way.

It's not cheap. You can go to sephora.com and check out the prices of the whole line, but rule of thumb the shampoos are $20, conditioners $22 and the styling products run from $24-26 a bottle. That being said, everything is highly concentrated and you really don't need to use as much as the "cheap stuff" in the drug stores, so it lasts longer. It's a judgement call really. I'm so completely impressed with the quality of my hair that I'll find the money. I think it's worth cutting some corners to keep using it.
The best thing to do is to give it a try and decide if you think it's worth cutting corners for. If you don't like it, Sephora has a refund policy as does QVC (but QVC is out of everything and on HUGE backorder).

Hey Velvet, unfortunately I am in Cinci when you are going to the Bahama's.
However, I do have someone in mind that lives in Dublin OH, and I am checking and getting her permission before I post her name and salon number. I can't seem to do the private msg thing. Give me a day or so, I was in Vegas and now Denver so the time thing is missing me up with contacting her.
ENJOY

Hey Martina, so where to find short hairstyles easy to do, and not too out there? There are a couple of magazines that are alright as far as showing the front and some of the sides, "Short Hair" is probably the better which you should be able to find at Barnes & Nobles. Also check out manugacturer websites such as Sebastion.com : Redken.com : Wella.com : L'orealusa.com : Aveda.com ,etc... you can usually find some really cool styles here that aren't published in the magazines.
Regarding texture, it's a hair "law" I think, that some texture is good, too much is very bad. So when you discuss with your stylist the texture I beleive realy needs to come from underneath, meaning for example if you wear your hair going back, we need to take a section of you hair on top comb it forward and texture with a razor so that the texture is underneath. The same is true if you are blowdrying, if we "over direct the hair the opposite way we want it to go then we create volume, example,take the top section of hair, brush it forward and dry it then brush it backwards. Remember that any product that you use , make sure it's at the root only and then work out to the ends.
ENJOY!

Hi Shaybo...LOL, it's ok to ask questions. What I was refering to was a shampoo being ALKALINE or drying to the hair, remember hair is acidic. The reason you didn't see it in your 2 for 1 is that it's not listed as alkaline, that's not a substance it's a conditional state on the pH scale. The pH stand for parts HYDROGEN. The ingredients that I was refering are various forms of Sulfanated Oils. These or a version of these are what we can expect to find in our 2 for 1's. Don't confuse this with natural plant extract oils, ingredients such as Coconut oil, avocado oil, etc...many of these you will see as Hydrogenated Coconut oil and the like.
If I'm not mistaken Garnier is a L'oreal Paris product and they use alot of the Hydrogenated oils like the coconut oil, and avocado oil. I haven't done a pH test on this particular product to see if it's Alkaline or Acidic.
Hope this helps.
ENJOY!

Jonathon - My sister said you have been on a search for the perfect shower head. You must discover the Nikken Pi-Mag Shower Head. Here is the right up in elle magazine, May 2003. "Lately we have been flooded with testimonials from beauty editors and other insiders on a mysterious showerhead said to make hair softer and fuller. Nikken Pimag Shower System, which can be installed in any shower, filters out chlorine, lead, iron oxides and other sediments that leave dulling deposits on the hair. The Japanese Company developed the technology based on over 20 years of research on the benefits of filtration, and the results seen on devoted users-speak for themselves. "If this gadget removes the minerals that have a dulling effect on hair, one might certainly notice an increase in shine and hydration, especially if you have mineral-rich hard water to begin with,"says David Herschthal, MD, as associate professor of dermatology at the University of Miami. "
Jonathon, I have been using it for over 5 years now, and my hair dressor always asks what conditioner that I am using. None!! The Shower head not only has negative ions, and puts electrolytes back into the hair, but it also has Vitamin C added to it, which neutralizes the chlorine. It is awesome!! If you want to hear more about it, or want to try it out, please feel free to email me at juliebeans@sbcglobal.net or check out my blog. I am a Nutritionist in St. Louis, Missouri, and am always sharing with others how to have an environmentally friendly, spalike home. www.showmewellness.blogspot.com. Take care!!

I was watching the episode where some of the stylist ask to go back to the West Hollywood salon (first season). I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the Asian stylist on the show? I think it's like Ayumi or Ayuki. I am not sure. Can anyone help me out on this? I am having the hardest time finding her on the internet. Also, if you could help me locate a picture of her---that would be fantastic!! I loved her hair esp. her bangs

Lord, I just wanted to tell you how amazing you are and how much I enjoy your posts. I specialize in salon and stylist marketing. I have a couple of clients that I print your posts for. It has really helped them communicate better with their clients. Your tips have been so helpful to them. Now they think I'm a goddess because I turned them onto you.
I do have a question. In episode 6 Alyn cut Christina Lindley's hair. I loved the cut and I am trying to find a photo of the finished style. I have similar facial structure and would like to try this cut. Do you have a suggestion for me?
Thanks

I totally love watching Blow Out. Jonathon is so amazing! He's snappy and totally alpha male, which is not bad. I feel he's a great teacger to his staff, he talks to them , not many do this. And he goes to therapy to get the " objective" totaly healthy! Jonathon, you're alright in my book!

Hey Cmcinindy, that's so cool! Thank you! So how did you get into the marketing and salon consulting?
I've seen the episode that you are referring too, and I haven't really seen any pictures of her except from the before and after they did on the show. Based on seeing those and the "points" of the haircut (where the hair changes directions) I would cut this in this way:
1. from the top of the head, section the hair from ear to ear.
2. then section this from the high point of the head to the center back of the nape creating a right and left half.
3. sub-section these halfs on into a 3 inch wide section begining from the center part towards the ear, pin the remaining hair up and out of the way.
4. using vertical sections of approx 1/2 inch overdirect the hair towards the top of the head and cut to the desired lenght. continue this all the way up the back of the head.
5. once the back is complete, section from where you want a desired part to the top of the head, this should connect with the vertical section that we started on the top to divide the back into two halfs. *** This will end up being a slightly curved line.
6. Starting in the top take a 1/4 inch from the front right and left side to make a 1/2 inch section, now take a 1/4 inch from the back to determine our point of reference and determine our length. Cut it.
7. Staying in the top right front begin using a diagonal part from the front center part down and back towards the part we started with from ear to ear. Overdirect back and up and cut at our guide.
8. continue the diagonal sections for this section.
9. Start the same way on the left front side as #7 using a diagonal part.
****note the stronger the diagonal section (*the more vertical it becomes)...the stronger the angle in the front.
10. When styling and you may have noticed Alyn doing this, overdirect the hair up with the brush and roll down.
hope this helps!
ENJOY

Thank you for the help. I wanted my stylist to watch the episode during the marathon, but she was working. I did find some photos on Christina Lindley's website, but I'm not sure if they were done while she had this cut. I think your instructions will really help my stylist. I will let you know after she does the cut.
I started working with salons when I became close to my stylist. I have been a marketing pro for several years and was running my own company. My stylist commented that her business was slow and she wanted so advise. It worked and now she is booked solid all the time. The rest of her salon noticed her full book and I started working with them too. Word got out all over town and now I work with several salons in metro-Indianapolis. I love hair, make-up, and anything beauty related. It was just a natural fit.
Keep the tips coming, my clients love them.

LOH,
When you say "overdirect" the hair does that mean that you take a section past the natural endpoint position to either cut/dry or whatever. I guess it is an exaggerational(sp?) application to get a desired effect? You are too smart. Also, I would like to send you a haircut pic I found but would it work in thick straight hair? Can I send it to you?
Thanks, one of your "Fan club" members
