I did hit that subscription and notification button! You are my new favorite youtuber! I hope you are having an awesome day! I am going to buy a coral and name it after you for my fabulose reef tank! I wonder what kind of coral you would like!?
definitely tuning in.....watch all the queer eye episodes.....you are a beautiful person
@@canadianreefmaster
I concur with your sentiment 100%
Australia.
I went to Aveda also, their Esthetics program. Love this video and love you. Keep on keeping on 😘
JVN you are on my shortlist of people I think about when I need to be reminded that human beings can be wonderful. 💕
There’s beauty in all, maybe most, of us!
Agreed 1000000%
Couldn't agree more.
Agreed. Great energy
💯 I’m binge watching JVN this morning because I got a bad haircut (really bad 😢) and needed to feel better about myself.
as an (proud!) introvert, JVN is the kind of extrovert I secretly wish would friend-adopt me. that ENERGY
What a breath of fresh air, just watching Jonathan gives me energy. Love the show,keep
Up the wonderful work. I’m a 74 great grandma. He just makes me feel happy.
❤️❤️❤️
The visual of JVN's husband just having to physically carry them out of the pet shop to avoid ending up with a dozen cats is so funny to me 😂also i love this format of video!
So I should do more of these???
@@jvn Definitely! 💕
YESSSSS
Kind deeds change Lives.
Jonathan you assisted me to reach out to a young man who works for me only to be told he is homeless and living with
HIV. I was always shocked at what he had for lunch everyday peanut butter sandwiches and no fruit.
He now has a brilliant salad with fish or beef to keep his weight up as he is so very thin. This young man has taught me resilience and compassion.
I shared with him that when I was attending university I had a serious drug habit for 3 years.
He is such a brilliant guy and worker we found him a studio apartment and took him to my Doctor to sort out which meds he required and made that happen as our gift to him.
Hospital insurance is now built in to his wages after paying him 50% more per weekly.
Australia.
This is so incredible. Thank you for sharing this and adding value to this world.
This is gonna sounds stupid but I'm so much more impressed by people who have some life experience behind them.. no shade to people getting recognition or famous in their 20s but its so much more exciting to see adults like this. Makes me excited to age up instead of melt down over it
Having a REALLY shitty day.
But you make me smile. You are SUCH a light in the world.
Everybody was at the point "what if I hate doing this" and I am so happy that you find your passion and that you are so happy. everbody deserves this 💕😊
Yes they do!
I remember hearing a story your mom told about you cutting her hair while you were in hair school and she said she had to go to a hair salon the next day to get it fixed. Look how far you’ve come, henny!
She said that?! Mom!!!
@@jvn lol! It was when she was on the “We Called Your Mom” podcast.
Yep. Our families know we’re experimenting on them at cosmetology school and it will be hit or miss for awhile.
"I've been running this establishment since 1987" 😂😂🤣🤣😂
I have!!
Loved it! Can’t wait to hear more. Thanks 🎉
Jonathan you’re too god damn special for this world and I wish you all the best in life!!!
I liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiterally prayed before going to sleep last night that you would post a storytime about your career and now here we are. MAGIC IS REALLLLLLLL 🪄🧜🏾♀️!!!!!!
Well if the heavens didn’t send you this video I don’t know what did!
I’m obsessed with your hair care line. I’ve gone through the gamut of other products. After using Amika which is what my stylist uses, my hair hated it, so greasy and heavy with product. I switched to JvN and my hair loveee It. Trying to work it into the budget so I can get some air dry cream and other products to add to my shampoo and conditioner regime. 🖤🖤🖤
Are you the new JVN Hair spokesperson?!
@@jvn Omg I would DIE being a spokesperson lol!!!!! Call me ;) No but really I will shout your product names from the mountain tops! I love them so much, the ones I've been able to try so far haha!
I love you JVN! You are so kind hearted❤
i love hearing about your journey, BABY YOU MADE IT ♥️🎉

You continue to be in my top 3 famous people I wish I could meet! You are the friend that everyone needs in life. Love you and love your products ✨💛

Amazing new video! I love your explanation of your thought process and challenges after finishing education, I think so many different paths and professions have a similar process and I am so excited that you’re sharing more about yourself. So excited to try your haircare products in the future.
Thank you for being here!
I LOVED THIS! Thank you for sharing your story with us!! I get so excited every time you post a new video. Also, my husband and I have been watching your new Netflix show and we love it!!

Happy Birthday Jonathan!! 🥳🤩
🎉❤️
I love a storytime!!!
Yes you do!!
“I’ve been running this establishment” 😂😂😂
Such an accomplished person! Jonathan you're truley an inspiring individual!
❤️❤️
Love your story! I love the Queer Eye series because you all help so many different types of people who are stuck in some part of their lives. You are always so upbeat and positive. Have to let you know I made my first order for your hair products and am anxious to try them. Will let you know what I think!
Yes!! Please tag me on stories so I see! Can’t wait for you to try! You will love.
Thank you for making this video. It is very inspiring! I just graduated from the Aveda Institute in NYC and I am very nervous on where I’m going to go next, but you are an example that the sky is the limit and I hope one day I can be as successful as you are! 💕💕✨✨
Yes!!! Hard work, focus and fearlessness, and balance when possible!
So fun, I could listen to you talk for hours! 🥰💕💕
Well then you’ll love part 2 next week!
And you’ll also love Getting Curious!
I love you so so SO much!! ❤️
You restore my faith in humanity. Love you so much.
Awareness of resources and where they come from are so important, I’m very happy you have awareness of it and included it in the video.
I can relate to wanting all the pets 🐈 I only have a bunny at the moment
The things you mention of what you learn after hair school. Those apply to so many other fields. Its kind of like you have the basics down but when you're in the real world, those basics only go so far and not very far.
Yes!! ❤️❤️
"I'm the founder of myself(...) ready to tell you stories !!" 😍🤩
You really made my day.
I just came to say your ponytail is ***chefs kiss*** perfection 🤩
You are just one of the most wonderful and life affirming people in the world, felt in love with you in Queer Eye, then your own show and here, what an absolute angel of a human. Now I need to try your hairline which I am sure is amazing.
firstly you are fabulous and i adore you. secondly, i ordered jvn products but they havent arrived yet. but whats cool is that every update and email concerning my order almost sounds like its written by you! your voice and power and general loveliness can actually be heard in the written word! fabulous! p.s. my order arrives on saturday. Yay!
I can’t wait for you to try!! Let me know what you think on IG stories!!
Love this! 🤍
❤️❤️
Okay I know it didn't come up in this video, but I'm gonna say it anyway: fam, Getting Curious is SO GOOD! 🥵I feel like all of us who've been gobbling up the pod for years were a whole other level of giddy when the show finally hit Netflix. So much work has gone into the podcast over the last 6(?!) years, and seeing it on my Netflix home screen just felt ~right~. Fingers crossed for a second season, the world needs it~ 🌈
The world needs to stay curious! Thank you for being here!
Yayyyy! Love this! Can't wait! Xoxo
See you next week!!
Always makes me smile 😊
❤️❤️
I love you so much!
after i read your book… you release this & make me fall more in love with you??? stop it please??? but don’t stop. i licherally cannot get enough of you jonathan.😩
Wellllllll I have new videos weekly!
Thanks for sharing this, I think your fantastic!!
❤️❤️❤️
Every time you post a video I like it before it even loads, because I already know I will like it. You have no idea how much I appreciate you: all the content you create, your podcast turned Netflix series Getting Curious (please, please, let there be a minimum of 10 more seasons!), learning about hair care from you, your magnanimous personality. I know I don't know you personally, but watching you, you honestly light up my heart like a professionally decked-out Christmas tree. Thank you so much for this! I love this hair story. Also: I was born in Minneapolis and I too love the Gay 90s.
Thank you so so much for being here! And for your kind comment! You betcha!!!
@@jvn 😃☺😌❤
I think you're amazing, funny, deep, inspiring, I love you
I love your work. Former hairdresser here. It can be hard starting out. So anyway...saw your newest series. Smashing! You remind me so much of my son. Also a stylist. He masters in color. You are doing a fantastic job. I look forward to seeing all you do.
Love to have you here!
I could relate to a ton of your story!! I mean I'm a 45 year old married women when 6 boys. But that's not who I am!! I struggled with addiction in my 20's and early 30's! It was bad! I grew up in the small town of Macomb Illinois and in my mid 20's I moved to Quincy Illinois where I gave birth to my youngest 3 children! All while still fighting my addiction!! I worked at a Restaurant called The Abby for about 5 years(the Abby girls) and i think it was a prerequisite to party a lot of you worked there!! Lol I was sexually abused at a young age and from there I just did whatever I could to mask the pain! To fit in somewhere!! Anywhere!! My children went to Dewey school. I left Quincy in 2011 and moved down south for about a year then ended up in Pennsylvania for about another year and then in 2013 ended up in Western NY. This is when cps came into my life. They put my children in foster care. I thought it was the worst day of my life!! Turns out it's probably the only reason I'm still alive today! My first day clean was 11/25/13! I didn't test positive for hiv but i was definitely scared i would. I did year positive for hep c. Back then the treatments weren't as good as they are now! They made me pretty sick for what seemed like forever!!! I got through it though!! That was like 5 months after I started beauty school! I had to drop out and focus on getting better so I could get my kids home! 8 years later my life is pretty damn good! I've stayed clean by helping others!! Service work! Both in my 12 step fellowship and out! The 1 thing I've been missing though is my self care!! What do I do that is just for me?? For my happiness? Not much! I didn't know who you were and clicked on a tutorial video(on hair of course).. then decided to check out your other videos . When I saw this one and it said your fight with addiction I knew I needed to watch it!! I am a strong believer in signs! Whether it's from the universe or God.. I'm not sure.. but after watching your video it just clicked!!! This is what I'm missing!!!! I love hair/makeup/ skincare!! I had over 500 hrs finished but I want to start over! I need a purpose that is just for me! Being a mother is the best thing ever!! Helping others get clean has been probably the best thing I've ever done and helped with my self esteem, self confidence and helped me to learn to forgive myself for hurting the people I loved the most!! Helped me forgive myself for doing whatever it took to get high everyday for years!! But it's not too late to go back to school!! This video literally was my sign!! This is what I need to do next!!! This is what I love! Thank you so much for your transparency and telling us your story. Before I decided to leave this long comment I did go to Google to find out more info about you!! Lol..I still have to find a school to go and all that stuff because the school I did go to in this small town of Olean ny closed up during the early parts of the pandemic. I want to start fresh anyway!! I still go visit Illinois a couple times every year. My parents live in Macomb and 2 of my older boys. Again, thank you So much!!! You helped me finally realize I do know what I like.. what I love. I just forgot!! You helped me remember!!!
Happy Belated Birthday, bb…. Of course you’re also an Aries! 😍👏👏👏 thank you for being the founder of yourself! ❤️
Absolutely love your story, I’m a licensed cosmo and I’m always so excited to see what you do in queer eye, one of my favorite parts of the show!! You’re like the best friend that everyone hopes for!! ❤️

Thank you for being here
To be honest I was interested in buying JVN hair products because I've loved watching you on QE and social media, but ALSO because of your experience as a hairstylist. 😊 When I looked at the product ingredients and how they help your hair I felt that I must try! Also, I love the containers I also try to minimize my plastic use so I definitely appreciate that. Ive been using the Nourishing Shine Drops and Air Dry Cream. I LOVE THEM! 😍 Thank you for these wonderful products and for your FABULOUS self. 🤗♥️
Plaza Frontenac is the late 80s and early 90s was the BEST 💕
This is the content I subscribed for. Just riff, babycakes!!
There’s more coming!!
Youre absolutely the best.
You are!!
I just love you, Jonathan. You are so beautiful inside and out.
As are you, Kelly! ❤️
I wish I knew you when I lived in Arizona! I would have loved it if I met you, and you did something cool to my hair! Lol I love your energy and your life stories. I love animals too, and I'm still laughing about you getting carried out of the pet store by your man. Can't wait to watch the second part, stay beautiful Jonathan! 💖☀️💖☀️💖
Second part is live!! But most importantly my new episode of life school has all the life tips 👀
