Jonathan Antin TV Shows
The first season of Antin’s life-following reality show Blow Out was filmed in 2004. It takes place in Jonathan Salon Beverly Hills, which has been specially opened for the show and is staffed by 12 stylists and assistants. The show was not well received by the press, who criticized his management style, hairstyle, and speech patterns. He was also accused of being a narcissist.
According to Christopher Kelly, “Antin’s droning, cooler-than-thou voice oozes contempt. He sneers at his employees, chastises them for bad haircuts, and complains that they aren’t bringing in enough new customers. Someone is in tears and/or about to be fired before every commercial break.” Antin admitted to his outbursts and expressed regret at the time. On the show, Antin tells his employees that he rides them because he loves them and respects them so much. Jay Leno and Kirsten Dunst appeared on the show during its first season.
In 2010, he was a judge on the third season of the reality show Shear Genius. In 2015, Antin joined the cast of L.A. Hair.
