How the heck does that guy make any money if he goes around comp-ing $1250 hair do's?!? And that girl was 19 and all he had to say was "I don't cut and tell"...wtf?

Love the show though, lol!

ETA: sounds as if Brandon may get the axe tonight, huh?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! According to that article...

Johnathon is 36? 36?

I'm finding that hard to believe.

Ok, after this episode, I am now obsessed with Johnathon's age.

I could swear I read somewhere that his sister Robin was younger than Johnathan. According to imdb.com, she was born in 1961.

Johnathon says he's been working as a stylist for 20 years. That means he would have had to start at 16. Well, I guess that's possible. So, he was in high school and working as a stylist?

But he just doesn't look 36. And that woman who came in, the one he went to high school with who graduated in 1984--two years ahead of him--did not look 38. And her visit to the salon--bringing along the yearbook--almost seemed stage to emphasize just how, supposedly, young Johnathan is. I just don't buy it.

I can't believe, even after Brandon was fired, the cameras still followed him around. And worse, I can't believe Catie from ANTM found her way on to this show. At least she didn't start crying at the photo shoot as she did at every one on ANTM. Even Mercesdes from ANTM got a quick shot when she was on the runway.

Re: Brandon's firing: Johnathan tells him to cover up the "ink", yet Johnathan himself wears short-sleeved shirts. Johnathan freaks out when he finds out Brandon hit on a client. Yet Johnathan sleeps with a woman who came to interview for a position at the salon. Hyprocrite much?

The obligatory trip to Lenscrafters made me sick. At least the Revlon and Amex plugs were short and sweet this time around.

Does every single person in this salon smoke? If I had to go into that back alley--where they all take their smoking breaks--I'd barf.

That Alicia chick is getting on my nerves. She's just as obnoxious as Brandon. But notice how Johnathan cuts her tons of slack.

With each passing episode I adore Jason and Jen more and more.

I agree, Texannie...he is really irritating! But I disagreed with Jonathan, though, about the quality of Brandon's work. I thought the cut he gave that model (Catie from America's Next Top Model) was beautiful. The talent is there, it's the attitude that stinks.

Just my .

I wish I could watch this show. It sounds like something I would like. (for some reason Adelphia in my area of los angeles does even offer Bravo! i don't know why...going to have to check in to why i can't get it).

just wondering is the salon in Beverly Hills? the name of the salon?

I love Jason. The only haircut that Brandon gave the model was good, but I hadn't seen any other cut. Was her hair different from the ATMC?

It's Jonathan Salon in BH Abby. I think it's on Wilshire right near Rodeo. At least it LOOKS that way from the show.

On edit: Just found the addy...9681 Wilshire Blvd; it's at wilshire and Roxbury

wow, scorpiomoon...i don't think i could have said it any better myself. this is one of those shows that if i remember it's on, i'll watch it - but i don't plan my evenings around it. that said, i caught it tonite, and found myself saying "what goes around, comes around". i think brandon has his own set of issues, and understand he needed to be reprimanded and/or fired. what bothered me, though, was it seemed like brandon was fired for similar behavior that johnathan exhibits. yes, i understand that the big dogs run on a different track, but it sure did seem that johnathan was ticked because brandon was working his terrority.
i also thought when a stylist left a salon, their client list remained with the salon. if this is the case, then kudos to johnahan for giving brandon's back.
hmmmm...anything else? probably enough to fill up a two-hour time slot...oh yeah, and the salon is next door to quizno's...too funny!

Texannie: Re: Catie's hair: When she first went on ANTM, her hair was long and straight. When all the girls got their hair cut and Catie's was cut short (like it was on tonight's show), she cried.

I hated Catie when she was on ANTM.

The hair style she had tonight was the pretty much the exact same cut she got, and weeped over, on ANTM. It looks like Brandon trimmed and styled her hair, but that's about it.

I couldn't believe it when Caite was the model Brandon was going to work on. Do these shows overlap or what?! And thanks, scorpio, for verifying that Mercedes was indeed in the background at the fashion show. It made it a little more fun to watch and to catch those things.

I was happy to see Nicky Hilton on the show.

A friend and I were talking on the phone and we decided that if Jonathan can say he's 36, we are now going to say we are 15. I think he might want some botox for that big crease between his eyebrows. I simply cannot believe he seriously thinks he is like Warren Beatty in Shampoo, but Los Angeles is loaded with delusional people.

That guy from NY with the berry lip stain and the perennially unbuttoned bottom button on his shirt--so it shows his belly a little as he lifts his arms to do hair--is one of my least favorite reality show people ever. He loves to play at being in control, but you know he's a mess right beneath the surface.

I'd better stop. The show irritated me too much tonight. Jen's politics wouldn't let her do the fashion show indeed! What a lame lame lame excuse.

Ladybug007: Of course you can make that up. Any props person in LA could whip up a fake yearbook. Did anyone see the cover or see the year on the cover? A supposed photo in a yearbook doesn't mean anything.

Johnathan's classmate said, when she was in high school, she used to iron her hair straight with an iron and ironing board. Johnathan said, "Everyone used to do that!"

Oh come on. It was (supposedly) THE 80's! Everyone was using a CRIMPING IRON or a STRAIGHTENING IRON!!! No one ironed their hair straight with an actual iron! People did that in the 60's.

Either that guy has either had waaaaay too much time in the sun and/or waaaay too much plastic surgery or he is a total liar.

You cant say that nobody straightened their hair in the 80's. What kind of statement is that? That girl had crazy curly hair, I have naturally curly hair and always want it straight. People always want what they dont have and I dont know if you have curly hair ro straight hair..but my friends with straight hair always say they are jealous of my curls....and I hate them.

i ironed my hair on an ironing board to get it straight in the 80's. i never heard of a straightening iron until a few years ago. he stated he WOULD have graduated in 1985. i graduated in 1979, i graduated a year early should have been 1980. i am now 41. 1985-1980=5, 41-5=36 that would put him at 36.

I ironed my hair in 70! LOL
I am feeling much better about how I look for my age if he is 36!
Scorpio, thanks for the info on the hair.
I loved the makeover scenes, but again, the color was the best part, the NY guy's haircut was awesome and just not impressed with Jonathon's cut.
I think the the thing that ticked Jonathon the most about Brandon hitting on a client was that the client called to complain about it.
I was also very impressed that he gave Brandon his client list, that's not usually done.

Ladybug007: I didn't say people didn't straighten their hair. I said people didn't use irons--the same appliance people use on clothes--to straighten their hair.

Landi: I think we all did the math and realized, according to the bio facts Johnathan is giving, he could be 36. I just don't believe it.

And I won't bring it up again.

Tishala said "if Jonathan can say he's 36, we are now going to say we are 15. I think he might want some botox for that big crease between his eyebrows. "

I honestly don't doubt that Jonathan is 36!

And as far as the underlined portion of your post...... I hate to admit this but I am NOT much older than Jonathan. {I got out of HS in 83. SO I have him by 2 years right now......} for the last 5 years, I have that same OLD AGE {as you describe it} CREASE between my eyebrows and on my forehead. AGE HAS NOTHING to do with that! {If one squints a lot you can develope them!} I AM 38 {And PROUD of it} have had those botox needing creases since I was 33!

Oh dear. I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone with my botox comment and I never said anything about "old age" in my post! Perhaps Jonathan has that crease between his eyebrows and he is only 36. To me he looks older than that, but it's not limited to the furrowed brows; it's also a certain sense I get about him. But I am not the last word on this matter.

I've seen such a variation of what people look like in their 30s and 40s, I don't dare even guess anymore, esp., if I think I'm trying to guess on the lower side and I'm still wrong! How embarrassing is that?!! - Kind of like asking someone if they're pregnant and they're not....run for the hills!!! LOL I have to tell you, after my 25th reunion, we were SHOCKED at how old some people looked - so much so, we didn't know who they were! Some lucky people you can still identify from how they looked! The men seemed to be the hardest to peg, probably because they don't do as much about their appearance as most women do. When they were scrawny kids w/longish hair in HS and you're having a bald chubby guy asking you if you remember him, WOW, it's hard to even make the connection! Some people looked a good ten years older than they actually were.

I thought Brandon deserved to be fired. He was bothering the other stylist's with his behavior and he's got a major attitude, which I really couldn't stand. Acting like a big man to cover up insecurity?!!

I love Jason. I was really worried when he was going to cut the long hair of that waitress, since I've gone through the shock of having way too much hair cut off, but she looked really good! Some people can just look good no matter what and I think she's one of those people! He seems to be trying to smooth things over for Jonathan often.

I keep changing my opinion of Jonathan. Sometimes he seems so egotistical and then other times, you see a soft spot, but I thought he seemed pretty full of himself for the most part last night. The part that really nauseated me was having him tell the women to go to Lenscrafters to finish off their makeovers.. EWWWW! I didn't even like those glasses they picked out. I guess I'm slow getting into the "new" styles. :-)

In make-up school one of the things we studied was aging...we had projects where we had to age characters and were given different scenerios for each one.

What we learned was there are many different factors that affect how people age.

Without knowing many things about a person it is really hard to guess age. I suck at it and never even try!

I can't even guess kids ages since my son is big for his age I don't have a good gauge for it!

He is the same size as a 12 yr old in his class and my son is 8, at school he is bigger than some 11 yr olds.

Pamy - My poor son was just the opposite - well, actually he still is, but just not as bad. When he was 12 they did a bone scan on him to make sure he was still growing since he was only the size of a 8-9 yr-old. When he first started middle school which is in the same building as the HS, people thought he didn't belong there. We'd got to basketball games and they wouldn't even charge him the student admission since they thought he was younger. It was great for a while at least when paying for things! Now he at least has facial hair and there are other guys who are around the same size, but he still wants to be taller. I couldn't believe when we passed this one guy and they said hello, they were the same age. I would have sworn that kid was at least a senior, certainly not a sophomore like my son was! I think in the very early years, it's much tougher on kids who are big for their age because people think they're older and expect different behavior from them and then when they get older, esp. for guys, it's tough to be one of the smallest.
