Kristi Yamaguchi stole my heart in 1992, and I've never been the same since.

I think I've been in a lot of really uncomfortable situations, and I think when you're in uncomfortable situations, it kind of polishes you up a little. It shines you up.

Jonathan Van Ness

I love changing hair color. I love doing hair shape. I love the social aspect of salons. I love clients, and because of doing hair, I've heard so many life stories.

Jonathan Van Ness

I grew up in a little town where my family owned a newspaper and the TV station, so a lot of people knew who we were, and I never fit in.

Jonathan Van Ness

I think that because I struggled and did get very bullied, that definitely made me learn how to be funny and let things roll off and be able to laugh, and I think that has definitely helped me when it comes to being in the public eye with 'Gay of Thrones' and 'Queer Eye.'

Jonathan Van Ness

I was the first male cheerleader of my high school; it's very hard to embarrass me - you have to do a lot.

Jonathan Van Ness

People think because they sweat, their hair is dirty. False. It's just salt and your natural oil.

Think about how your jeans would look if you washed and dried them every single day. That's like our hair, and you can't change your hair as often as your pants, so cutting down on washing cuts down on long-term damage.

For keeping hair long and healthy, I like to use silk pillowcases; they conduct less heat and keep your ends less frayed. Also, I sleep with my hair in a very loose top bun to keep my ends away from my body heat. This also keeps your hair from getting tangled at the nape of your neck.

Jonathan Van Ness

I wanted long hair my whole life. When I was a little kid, my mom would be like, 'We get our hair cut once a month.' So I just always got my hair cut.

Jonathan Van Ness

Going to school was an absolute terror for me for, like, a decade.

Jonathan Van Ness

The second you're bleaching hair more than three or four levels on a consistent basis and want it long, and then you're heat styling it and living in the world - it's just impossible. You can get it there for a moment, and then you might get a couple re-touches out of it.

If I could only have one grooming tool, it would be floss. I don't want to have broken Cheetos in my teeth. To protect myself from the sun, I can find shade under a tree. To moisturize my skin, I could get really sweaty and then just rub it on myself. But how are you going to clean between your teeth without floss?

I love having the Olympic Channel app on my phone because I can watch old gymnastics videos any time.

Jonathan Van Ness

I'm obsessed with gymnastics. It's like my football. And I like to watch women's gymnastics a little bit more than men's because I live for balance beam.

Jonathan Van Ness

Since I have psoriasis, I buy anything that feels good against my skin. I tend to wear really, really soft hoodies by the brand Velvet. Even if I don't have a flare-up, I'm still like: Oh. My. God. This nice thing feels so good.

Jonathan Van Ness

I'm just waiting for the first #MeToo moment to happen from a salon because the culture of how assistants are treated, especially in salons in L.A. and New York, is, like, truly unbelievable. You're expected to clock out for lunch and never get paid. You're expected to be there an hour early, stay two hours late.

Jonathan Van Ness

In service industries, we can be so people-pleaser-y that you don't know how to set your own boundaries.

Jonathan Van Ness

I'm really big on the gym and yoga. I'm at the gym at least six days. That is just getting there and creating those endorphins and sweating. And that routine also keeps me grounded in spite of whatever my life looks like.

Jonathan Van Ness

If I read something on the news that really irritates me, I get my rageful venting out on Twitter. I'm more of my light side on Instagram.
