Subsequently, Brad has worked as a color director for Jean Louis David in Henri Bendel’s, Clive Summers, Bruno Dessange, Oribe at Elizabeth Arden and as Artistic Director for Avon Salon & Spa, "the brad johns studio" at elizabeth arden and now the riccardo maggiore salon is his new home. He is constantly setting trends. Dubbed the Golden Boy, Brad’s most famous trend is the use of “chunking”. According to Vogue, Brad is the founding father of “chunking” – a blonde-on-blonde technique which results in “child on the beach” hair. However, Brad’s look is constantly evolving, creating new methods and setting new trends. He is famous for divulging his coloring secrets to his protégés and the press, because he can easily create something new and fresh tomorrow. Yet, his core philosophy is simple: hair color should compliment the eyes first, the skin second and the season third. The shade range in which someone should stay is determined by their childhood hair color. Brad’s intuition and keen eyes serve him well. If he has a feeling that a brunette’s eyes and skin color might look better as a redhead or blonde, he investigates their family’s hair color history. If he finds those colors in their family, he goes with his instinct and a fiery redhead, a honey-wheat blonde or a chestnut brunette is born. His individual approach to hair color has made him a favorite among the film, modeling and music industries. Christy Turlington, Natasha Richardson, Johnny Depp, Jamie King, Cindy Sherman, and Vanessa Redgrave are just a few who have trusted their tresses to Brad. His work can be seen gracing the pages of every major fashion and beauty magazine such as Vogue, Allure, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Cosmopolitan and W, while also establishing himself as an expert for their editorial pieces. Brad’s work has also been the stylish centerpiece of many runway shows including Azzedine Alaia, Nicole Miller and Versace. Brad is most proud of his impressive clientele and has a celebrity following of every shade and hue. One might say his MORNING salon lineup is the “who’s who” of fabulous females. Brad can often be seen working on six clients at once, from beauty editors to socialites and CEOs, the women who run Manhattan go to Brad for his obsessive attention to detail and his fierce loyalty.
