Jonathan Van Ness is a master when it comes to makeovers, but the 34-year-old Queer Eye star aims to do more than cut and color. He wants to shake up the status quo.
“I want people to realize that their beauty and their worth is not reliant upon what they look like. We can have preferences and we can have things that we want to emphasize or do more of or less of, but nothing about the way we look affects our worthiness or how amazing we are,” the reality star exclusively told Us Weekly. “There’s a lot of learned cultural beauty expectations and standards that I think more about trying to dismantle more now than I did when I first started Queer Eye.”
“It’s like when people think that when you get older you need have shorter hair or that you should color your hair to look younger,” the JVN Hair founder explained. “It’s fine to grow your natural color out and be a gorgeous, silver haired person — it’s fabulous!”

Ultimately, whether your hair is textured or straight or wavy or curly, all hair just needs more moisture or more strength or more body and volume,” he explained. “Hair is hair. Nobody’s hair is a totally different type of crazy structure.
