John Wuthrich

John started his career in 1984 in Muncie and then moved to Florida in 1986 and worked under a much respected hairstylist from Philadelphia and learned a great deal about hair cutting and coloring. In 1987 he bought a small salon in Muncie then moved to Ball State's campus in 1989 and changed the name to John Jay & Company. He had 10 stations and kept very busy with Ball State students and faculty. In 1995 he merged with another salon and moved to the location we are currently operating in the Lynden Brook Plaza. In that year he married his wife Julie who has a great influence on the style of the salon and helps in administrative decisions. She is the buyer for the clothing items that are for sale in the salon. John still loves what he does which is why he still works behind the chair 6 days a week.

Cathy Guffey

Psst… I'm back in Indiana after living out west and I bring you loads of experience added to my profession of hair artistry. Over 25 plus years I've been making people look their best by thoroughly understanding what my clients want with skill and technique. I was a salon owner for over 10 years. The success of my craft comes from my natural talent and self assured style. I'm a master hair designer/ advanced color artist, make up artist and educator of this ever changing beauty world. I've trained and educated with highly skilled artist from Nexxus international, Loreal, Wella international, and JKS international. I've also attended various teaching conventions and knowledge lab classes in several states. Las Vegas, NV was my home away from home and that is where I did "cutting edge" work. Now I bring you you skills and most superb talent at John Jay and Co. Salon. The timing is perfect and would be a pleasure to have you as a client. For those who are tired of the "same ole"... I'm here to give you, perfection and to supersede anything else you've had.
