Countless artists had been in his chair, from Rosalía and Kylie Jenner to Katy Perry, Demi Moore, and Jennifer Lopez, among many others.
Like many hairstylists, Jesús began his career working on weddings and small events. His big break came when Kylie’s makeup artist recommended him, leading to an opportunity with her. From that moment on, his life changed, and he became a go-to hairstylist for A-list celebrities. Many have emphasized what a kind person he was.

It is speculated that Jesús «may have traveled to Dubai to assist JLo» but was allegedly abandoned there due to being ill with pneumonia and deemed «too sick to fly home.» Some users are already blaming the singer for this, but no official information has emerged yet.
His family shared three Instagram stories to express their gratitude for the support:
«Our family would like to thank everyone for all the love and support during this difficult time. Jesús was the brightest light, and we have never doubted that he touched the hearts and lives of everyone he met. We have been in tears, repeatedly looking back and wondering what we could have done differently to still have him with us.»
Seeing the outpouring of love, his family also made a heartfelt request: «Reading everyone’s kind posts fills and breaks our hearts at the same time. If anyone has videos or photos they’d like to share, we would love to see every single one.»
They concluded with a touching message: «I don’t know how the world will go on without his light, but I know he will give us the strength to overcome any obstacle. RIP Jesús, we all love you.»
