Like you Marylou, I just saw on QVC that Nick Chavez passed away almost a month ago in December 2022. What a beautiful man he was with a heart as big as the world. Like myself, he was a Native American and that gave me such a great feeling of pride. I will miss him so much and he had the best hair care products ever. I will never forget you, Nick! Thank you for being you.
May you rest in peace. We lost a great Angel in you…I loved all of your products. I know you are dancing with your mom who you loved very much. You changed the way women look and you were so funny, BUT YOUR PRODUCTS WERE THE BOMB. THANK YOU!
I just learned of Nick’s passing while watching QVC and saw a very nice video of him. I am so saddened to learn this as I was such a fan of his. I love all his products and was hoping someday to see him in Beverly Hills. I live in Orange County so it is not that far away. All my best to his wife and family, Nick will be missed so much. RIP!
Good morning Nick,
I love your products and love the way you have cut my hair for several years now. I wish you the very best, you deserve all good things, my dear.
Best,
Jean Barrymore
Nick Chavez is on my hairdresser bucket list. I am 73 but someday I will get to CA so he can cut my hair! Love him on QVC
Nick died in December 2022
Hi Nick Chavez,
I love the plumping and thickening spray. I am so upset I can’t find it! I love the firm hold it has. What do you have that replaces it?
I am a Nick Chavez girl!!! I love his products. I get so many compliments on my hair. How soft and how shiny.
Thank you for your product and your kindness.
Let’s make Nick Chávez king of the world! I am a nurse And after a long, hard shift, I often come home and watch videos of Nick Chávez doing hair. His positive and enthusiastic attitude is comforting and inspiring. And do we all ever need that in these troubling times? Yes of course his hair products are beyond awesome but what he has to offer to the world is so much more than that. He makes the world a better place and for that I am grateful.
