First edition · Acid yellow
01 The Brief
The hair industry has told you a lie, politely and repeatedly: that if your work is good enough, the work will find you. It will not. Careers are decided by positioning — who knows you, what you are known for, and whether the people who book international work can find a reason to choose you.
POSITIONED is that argument made in full, then turned into a method. It runs the entire GSB Ascension Method — the framework behind The Global Stylist Blueprint — one chapter per stage, from identity to legacy, with the case files of students you can verify: a Maltese artist who went from 3,000 reach to 200,000 and the first Maltese headline at Professional Beauty India; a British barber whose positioning earned a heritage fashion partnership; a twenty-year-old from the Faroe Islands who closed region-wide distribution rights in a month after a year of silence.
It also carries a story JJ has never told before now — the reason for the shades, and the reason for the yellow. Every pound of his author profit goes to Moorfields Eye Charity, in gratitude for the care he received at Moorfields Eye Hospital.
First edition in acid yellow. A limited run of hardbacks goes to editors and influential industry figures before online distribution opens. The direct edition ships with a companion workbook — every exercise in the book, laid out to be worked through properly, ending in a free 30-minute audit call.
