Business Spotlight: August 2013

Over 20 years ago, Jonathon Drais was invited to a fashion event by a close friend. Jonathon was amazed at how much creativity it took to style hair and that people made a living while working as a hair stylist. Jonathon attended RCC Cosmetology and the Vidal Sassoon Academy where he studied advanced techniques and styles. He defines great style as the manifesto of one’s persona. Fashion, hair, how a person walks, smells, what they listen to, etc…all encompasses a person’s style. He describes his own style as fashion forward yet subtle. “I’m usually safe with my wardrobe selection and tend to choose quality materials that are current and timeless,” says Jonathon.

Jonathon opened The Jon Michael salon 9 years ago. The original vision of The Jon Michael Salon was a boutique style salon with like minded and experienced stylists with simple Spanish décor. Today, The Jon Michael Salon has evolved into something very different and currently resides in a loft-like space with more of a modern atmosphere while retaining its original salon culture.

Jonathon says that social media and word of mouth are their best marketing tools. He chose downtown Riverside as the location of The Jon Michael Salon because of its history and architecture. “The progress, growth, and sense of the community in downtown Riverside has kept us here,” says Jonathon.

The Jon Michael Salon is located on the third floor of the Avila building which is located on Main St. between Mission Inn Ave and 6th St. A first time customer can expect to be greeted by knowledgeable staff who can answer any questions customers may have. Contemporary music plays in the background to complements the modern atmosphere. The Jon Michael Salon is currently a Bumble and Bumble Exclusive Salon. “Bumble and Bumble provides a solid foundation for ease of use and quality products. In addition, we offer appointments for color services, hair custom conditioning treatments, texture treatments, blow-outs, wedding styles, and makeup,” says Jonathon.

The Jon Michael Salon has collaborated with the Riverside Downtown Partnership with ‘Fashion’s Night Out’ and the Destination STYLE Fashion District Initiative. In addition, they have also donated to the Junior League Ball and the Olive Crest Foundation and several cancer awareness fundraisers.
