A.J. Johnson, Owner

New York, Paris, London, Los Angeles, A.J. Johnson has traveled the world, doing what he does best...hair. For over fourteen years A.J has worked diligently to carve a specific niche market for himself, as a hair designer and celebrity stylist. He has worked for many of the hair care companies to create the fabulous styles featured on most of the packaging and print ads. Now as a highly sought after professional hair designer and consultant, A.J. has the privilege of selecting how many days he works and with which company he will consult for next.

He opened his first salon at the age of twenty and now operates the highly successful AJES Salon at 648 W. Randolph in Chicago. The salon's classic elegance stems from the peaceful and tranquil interior design. This tranquility combines with ceiling to floor brick walls to create AJES. The Salon is renowned for outstanding professionalism and a deep consideration for healthy hair. A.J states, "While we provide state-of-the-art services incorporating only the best products, we recommend that clients do not use harsh chemicals, curling irons or heat appliances between appointments. We care about the condition of your hair and can only guarantee healthy growth when the clients agree to work with us."

AJES The Salon, inc. appeals people of all ethnicities and A.J. makes sure that each client gets the red carpet treatment the moment they walk through the door. "My staff were hand picked because they are good at their jobs and will not compromise the high standards I have set for the salon," says A.J.

His roster of celebrity clientele includes supermodel Iman, Tyra Banks, Chantay Savage, Jennifer Hudson, Jill Scott, Shan Robinson of Access Hollywood, Sheryl Jackson of the Urban League and Victoria Secret model Shakara Ledard to name a few.

"Everyone is welcome at AJES. Celebrity or not, everyone is treated the same, and healthy hair is the goal for all our customers. We work with people, male or female to give them great styles while maintaining healthy hair. That's the AJES experience."

"AJ Johnson's work has been seen on the Orpah Winfrey Show and in varies print ads and billboards."
