Summary

Today we are THRILLED to welcome iconic hairstylist, podcaster, Netflix star and fierce defender of LGBTQ+ rights Jonathan Van Ness. Jonathan speaks refreshingly about how his gender expression is still a journey, from growing up as queer in rural Illinois to becoming a hugely visible gender-non-confirming public figure. Plus, we find out Jonathan’s favourite things about being in London Town and how styling Barbies as a child led him to launch one of the world’s biggest hair brands.
