Deepest sympathy to the family. I started going to Jon when he worked at salon at the Washington Mall; then followed him to Cut Above. He was the only one I trusted to color my hair! I have lost contact over the years, but haven't had a hair cut I really liked since I stopped going to him. Rest in peace Jon. I am sure all the angels will be lining up to get a new hairstyle.
