"Creating beauty from the inside-out is my only goal." - Johnny G
Here's what his happy clients have to say:
I lived in Beverly Hills in the 80s and worked as a Photographer shooting the Red Carpet events in Hollywood. Every 6 months or so I still go back and shoot private parties at Mr. Chow's and Spago’s. Every time I go back I make sure I go to Hair by Johnny G to have my highlights done, so I can look and feel my best….. and I always have heads turn.
In fact, the last time I was there Michelle Pfeiffer's publicist came up to me in the bathroom and complimented me on my hair and asked me who did my color? I told her it was Johnny G in Scottsdale Arizona. She said, "We both thought it was someone in Beverly Hills." Then I mentioned, you are so pampered he truly makes you feel beautiful. I call it my Spa day!

Johnny G has been my hairstylist for over 3 years now. Every time I sit in his chair, I feel sincerely welcomed and I know from the time I sit down to the end of my appointment, it's all about me. Anything from water to a latte or if I just need a hug for the day, he's there to please.
He truly listens to what it is I want in a hairstyle and asks questions about my lifestyle to understand my needs.
When I leave Hair by Johnny G, I feel beautiful and know the beauty I feel during the day will carry over until the next time I visit. I have never had a bad haircut or color treatment since seeing Johnny G. He truly makes me feel like I am the only one that matters while I'm in his chair.
- Lynn Michaels
I truly believe if we think we look beautiful on the outside it affects our inner beauty (self-esteem) as well. When I moved from Michigan to Arizona 7 years ago, I had many horrible hair experiences. The stylist would not listen and I left their chair literally in tears many times. I do not believe in coincidences in life, so when I met Johnny G something told me this hair experience would be different. After he styled and colored my hair, I felt completely transformed! I have never left a hair stylist feeling like a movie star, but that is exactly how I felt.
After 4 years now, I can honestly say Johnny G is not only blessed with the gift of creating beautiful hair, but he transforms who you are as a person because his inner beauty is contagious!
- Jennifer Snide
It is a unique experience to have Johnny G cut my hair. Not only is he an expert in color, he cares deeply for his clients. He is concerned that you’re happy with your hair and your makes sure you’re comfortable while sitting in his chair. He creates a very positive experience that builds trust. I feel more confident because I know my hair looks good. Johnny takes the time to listen to what you want done – using his expertise to make your hair look exactly how you want it to.
- Betty P.
Johnny took the time to talk to me, understand what I wanted done and what I’d like to see. He really took the time to listen to me and show me different options. I felt like my time there was focused on me and not split between clients like most hairstylists tend to do. Johnny made me feel really comfortable and special. You can tell he enjoys making his clients feel special and he enjoys focusing his time on them. When I went in to see him my hair was dry and a little bit dull. By the time I left, my hair was healthy and shiny as ever. I am really excited about my new hairstyle and my new look and I am definitely more confident in how I look.
- Lindsay LaBorde
When I met Johnny G I just walked into the salon looking for hair products that was it. He was very friendly and asked me if he could help me locate something. After talking to him for a few minutes it came out that I was unhappy with my current hairdresser and really wanted a change. He offered to let me try his services and I thought, “Why not, what do I have to lose.” Now, 2-plus years later, I’ve never looked back. My past experiences (with other hairdressers) showed me I MAY get what I want every few appointments. That was disappointing but true. I have never walked out of Johnny G’s salon feeling unhappy about my hair. He listens to what I want and always makes suggestions that are better than my plans. He knows hair and he knows his clients.
Johnny’s personal quality the impresses me the most is the way he stays with his clients throughout the appointment. He’s never talking to other clients at the same time. The client in his chair is his only focus. He is extremely gentle with my hair. Combing, blowing or applying color, his gentle hands and calming energy can literally put you in a trance. NICE BONUS! I totally trust Johnny G. with my hair, I always have a good experience and I’m always happy when I walk out the door.
- Gail F.
I’ve been going to Johnny G for about 3-months. I was looking for someone who would give me a consistently good haircut. I have short hair and I now get a lot of comments on the look and the style. Johnny G. makes you feel comfortable and special and we always have interesting and good conversations. Not only is he a great stylist but he is an AWESOME person.
- Jeannette Bennett
I’ve been seeing Johnny G for about 2-years. I’m a frequent visitor, every 23-days for cut color or cut, color and highlight. For me, my hair is an important asset. I totally look forward to seeing Johnny every month. He’s not just my hairstylist I feel like he’s become one of my friends. One of the biggest things I’d say in my experience in seeing Johnny is that I never feel rushed. There also isn’t a rushed feeling around me with lots of people.
Johnny takes time to discuss what I liked and what I did not like about my last cut and color. He gives suggestions and most of all, he listens to me. Communicating with Johnny is very easy. I love the fact that he is not booking other customers when I have my color on for 40-minutes. There isn’t that pressure for him to get your color on so he can go do a cut. By the way, he’s a MASTER at hair color. The ultimate result of a great hair cut and color is when I frequently get stopped and asked, “Who does your hair?”
- Judy Albert
To me the best thing about Johnny G’s work is that when he gives me a haircut, he seems to do it in a way that I can work with it myself. I am not fighting to style it every day. I am very busy and having a good haircut is very important to me. Also, for me I have very stubborn grey hair. Johnny has conquered that problem for me so my color lasts longer.
- Arleen Handel
I don't know any person who makes an appointment to get their haircut month-after-month, year-after-year, and doesn't still experience some anxiety. Whether there are events in our lives or situations that bring us to an emotional place we bring them with us. Sometimes it is unavoidable. I have often come with a heavy heart to your chair yet was filled with peace knowing the one thing I didn't need to worry about was a bad haircut or service. But more than that, I was in the care of someone who not only has been blessed with a God given talent to color, cut and style but he listens, hears and extends a compassionate heart to you and begins his work in creating a new spirit through the way he generates peace and positive influence as he styles and creates individual masterpieces with his blessed scissors, heart, and soul. So perhaps the greatest value could be defines or summed up as when in a place where everything is chaotic and all is not well, when you visit Johnny G) a peaceful feeling seems to set in and at that moment you are accepted, loved and feel like a real person and that someone really cares. Johnny cares about you as a person and he cares about the work he performs and how it is going to compliment the spirit inside you and help you to realize what a unique beautiful person you are. Thus Johnny brings you to a peaceful place that allows you to believe, care and take time to realize you are important and special.

My hair is alive again and looks and feels terrific. The color is so natural and I receive many compliments. I feel completely relaxed when I leave also.
- Dianne
Finding a good hair stylist that consistently does good work is not easy. You have consistently given me good haircuts and color every time so I always look forward to your services.
- Sandy Kull
When I leave your care, I shine on the inside…… just like my hair shines when you are finished with your magic. The cut, the color, the body, the flow of my hair is amazing, and it enhances everything I go about doing throughout each day. My husband won't leave me alone…I may have to quit using you… 
- Nancy Darling
It's always a pleasure to deal with someone who makes you feel special and who is always a professional. We talk & decide what we are going to do before we begin, which is very important to me. You're an expert with color & stubborn gray roots! I always leave feeling pretty! Thanks for being here in beautiful Scottsdale!
- Wendy
Johnny is very passionate about his career as a hair stylist. He is always coming up with new techniques to better your hair. He attends beauty conventions to learn the latest and greatest in hair design, cut and color. I trust his suggestions to make me a better me!
- Kimmy K.
I would love the opportunity to share with others why I drive 30 miles to have you cut my hair. Firstly, you know how to cut hair! You don't just try to give a style because it is "in.” I think you style my cut to fit my face (not all of us are natural born beauties with perfect features). You allow enough time so I never feel like you are in a hurry to get me in and out. You are always in tune to whether or not I want to chat or just relax and enjoy the quiet attention you are willing to give. I have been to many of the well-known salons and have never been happy. was kind of like a big search to find you and your little space up in Scottsdale and I would be more than happy to recommend you to anyone who is looking for someone who truly wants to help make you beautiful!!!

The reasons that I keep coming back for you services:
I am constantly getting compliments on my hair (color and style). My hair is now healthy even though I have it colored and highlighted frequently. And of course the main reason that I keep coming back is because of your terrific personality (fun, positive, energetic, and it is so obvious that you love doing what you are doing and that is why you are so successful). Plus you are a "fellow Capricorn"!
- Brenda Gruender
When you are seated…it becomes all about YOU. Your desires, your vision of yourself, your lifestyle and most of all your thoughts about what your self image is. Johnny G talks to you, elicits your input, and then gently walks you through your vision. Even when you bring him a near IMPOSSIBLE task, Johnny G. will take whatever time is needed to move you from frustration to fascination in adjusting whatever it is that YOU, the client, feels needs to be adjusted, to meet YOUR needs! Bottom line, Johnny G IS an Image Coach beyond measure! And cute as a button too! I encourage you to come in sit down and get ready for the experience…

You have great talent in what you do. I appreciate the fact that you listen to me about what I like and you always give great ideas and feedback to help me look my best. Believe me, this is not an easy task with the difficult hair that I have to work with. You keep up with the industry and are always looking at new ideas and products. Also, it is always a relaxing experience to come in to see you. I am usually rushing from a crazy day at work and you take the time to make me feel calm and at ease. I sure appreciate all that you do.
- Sheri
Johnny is, by far, the most knowledgeable, most inspiring and the most 'passionate-about-his-work' hairstylist I've ever known! He will help you decide what style and color will work best for you and then he does it! I promise…you will leave there feeling beautiful and very pampered…like a day at the spa.
- Linda Boso
You are a genius at creating a style and color for your clients. I was looking for someone to give my hair an updated look and you did just that! I've already received several compliments on my hair and am giving out your business cards. The care and precision you give to a haircut is impressive. Thanks for taking the time to consult with me and making it happen. You're awesome.
- Jan Kane
I'm always telling you how everywhere I go people comment on my hair, but this takes the cake. I was at a doctor's office preparing for surgery and the nurse said, "You have the most beautiful hair color". I replied, of course, I have the best colorist ever. I gave her all the information to get in touch with you!

After a session with Johnny G., whether it is for just a cut or color, I leave completely energized with added confidence in my appearance. Johnny G. does excellent work and I appreciate the fact that during an appointment, he devotes his full attention to my needs and does not try to work on other clients at the same time. I receive compliments frequently on both my hair cut and color."
- Debi
It has been an amazing experience allowing you to make me beautiful. I look forward to each and every time I have the opportunity to allow you to work with my hair. The “one-on-one all about me service” you provide allows me to look forward to my next appointment. When I have an appt. to see you I refer to the day as "Johnny G Day.” I will not allow anything to interfere with that day. Thank you for making your true commitment to taking care of me.

You had done something special that most other hair stylist do not do anymore. You gave me your full-
undivided attention. You did not book another appointment during the time my hair was processing. I felt that you kept a close eye on the time; therefore my hair was not "fried" like I have had in the past. You did a great job and I will be calling again you soon.

First, I love the way you concentrate on my feelings and wishes. You are very sensitive and you understand what I need of a "simple haircut." I always feel so much better after a session, almost therapeutic! I have always had problem hair and your skill in shaping my "do" and recommending products has helped me enormously. It was certainly fortunate for me that you happened to have time at our first meeting to take care of me.
- Helaine Dworkin
The greatest value that I get from you service is the fact that my time with you, is in fact, my time. I never feel rushed, therefore, I feel like I am getting your full attention, and my hair doesn’t look like everybody else’s. I think you treat your customers like valued clients.
- Char
I use your services) Personally, to combat aging. Professionally to add credibility as someone current and in-touch with the culture.
- Elabas
Johnny, I think your best quality is working with each client individually, being very precise and careful. Really customizing each cut for each person. It’s not an assembly line where you’re trying to squeeze in a million clients a day.
- Eric Vinger
Johnny takes huge pride in his work. He is actually an artist at work as if he were painting a Masterpiece! He will go over your hair again and again to make absolutely sure it is as perfect as human hands can make it. He listens to what you want and will graciously offer his opinion. I am a single mom of four young children, when I come in to see Johnny he always makes me sit and relax. He allows me to blow off steam plus he offers very wise words at the right moment.
- Shari Wolf
Your ability to cut and style with my features in mind is key to me. Your cutting techniques are very unique in that you personalize them to "your own cutting style." You always take the time to explain what you are doing, why you are doing it, and consequently the cuts are always perfect. As you know I am a blow and go kinda’ gal……. and most important you also spend the time showing me the technique that works best for my hair type and current cut …… I also enjoy your ability to change and adjust the weaves, I like the fact that you will try different ideas to see what works and you not only listen " which is unique in itself" but you take the time to really understand the "look" I am going after. I really appreciate the time you spend on my cut and color. The fact that you do not use an assistant, take on only "one" client at a time, I think really contributes to the successful results. When I am in your chair I know I have your full attention.
- Marilyn Dodd
You approach your clients with a warmth that exudes confidence. This is very important to me. I therefore feel a level of comfort and the assurance that I will look great and feel great. I think the greatest value received from your service is your relationship that you start and carry through with the client. You are honest and giving with your opinion and do not do more work on a client than is necessary. I appreciate someone looking out for me and not paying more than I need to. I look forward to each appointment.
- Lauren
You are the most talented with color, cut and the pleasure of spending time with you. What else can a girl ask for!! See you this afternoon.
- Julie “The Brat”
I am divinely enthusiastic about Johnny G and recommend him highly. I even continue to drive from Chandler to Scottsdale after we re-located in SE Valley. Johnny performs his”magic" with Goldwell products that are unsurpassed, but it is HIS personal artistic touch with applications that makes a world of difference. My hair has never looked so shiny and healthy. I get rave comments frequently (even from strangers)! I have received the best hair styles I've ever experienced. My girlfriend named him "Johnny Angel" because he so neat to be around with his good vibes and caring service. Don't miss experiencing Johnny G! He's a “Master Hair Artisan Extraordinaire!"

I believe what I gain the most from an appointment with you, is that I am in the "hands” of someone who really cares about ME. You always give me your undivided attention, expert advice, and experience. You always want me to look sensational!
- Gale F.
From 1978 to 1991 I worked as an Advertising “Fashion” Photographer in Chicago and New York. During that time, I had the opportunity to hire and work with some of the best hair stylists, colorists and make up artists in the business. When I changed professions in 1991, I bounced from hair stylist to hair stylist, never finding the level of hair design talent I once experienced in “the industry.” Then, 15 years after getting what I consider my last great haircut, I met Johnny G at a networking event and booked an appointment with him. Johnny’s hair design talent is on a par with anyone I have ever worked with on fashion shoots in New York or Chicago. Johnny G took the time to understand what I do for a living today and created a great look that compliments my age, profession and personality. Men and women of all ages will benefit from the “Big City” talent Johnny G brings to Scottsdale, AZ. You are a fortunate person indeed to know a “top cutter” like Johnny. Believe me, his level of talent is not found in this area at all!
