His sudden departure at the age of 34 has left family, friends, and the Hollywood community in shock, as they remember a man who not only transformed hair but also touched lives with his kindness, talent, and infectious spirit.
A Visionary in the World of Hair
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Guerrero always had a passion for hairstyling. His sister, Gris Guerrero, shared on a GoFundMe page that Jesus was a dreamer who worked tirelessly to take his craft to the top. And he did just that. Over the years, he became the trusted hairstylist for some of the biggest names in the industry, including Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Moore, Rosé, Charli XCX, Lisa, and Katy Perry. His talent was undeniable, but it was his warmth, humility, and dedication that made him unforgettable.
An Unimaginable Loss
Guerrero’s family, still reeling from the tragedy, took to his Instagram page on Sunday to express their gratitude for the love and support they’ve received. “Jesus was the brightest light, we have never doubted that he touched the hearts and lives of everyone he came across,” they wrote alongside a series of touching photos. “We have fallen into tears repeatedly reminiscing and wondering what we could have done differently to still have him with us. Seeing everyone’s loving posts fills and tears our hearts all at once.”
They ended the statement with a heartfelt goodbye: “I don’t know how the world will go on without his light, but I know he’ll give us the strength to push past any obstacle. RIP Jesus. We all love you.”
A Legacy of Love and Talent
The outpouring of grief from the celebrity community is a testament to the impact Guerrero had on those around him. Daniel Martin, Global Director of Artistry for Tatcha, shared a selfie of himself with Guerrero and Jessica Alba, captioning it, “We love you @jesushair 🤍🥊.”
Singer Rosalía, who had collaborated with Guerrero multiple times, expressed her sorrow through an Instagram Story, saying, “You don’t know how much I’m going to miss you 💔.” Kali Uchis, who was styled by Guerrero for this year’s Grammy Awards, also paid tribute with a heartfelt message: “i love you Jesus.”
Mary Phillips, a makeup artist and co-founder of Highlight Artists, shared a deeply emotional message on Instagram, reminiscing about their friendship. “I fell in love with him the moment we met. He showed kindness to anyone and everyone, and I just can’t believe he isn’t with us anymore,” she wrote. “I will never forget his laugh, his smile, and his sweet little moments when he would cuddle up to you and rest his head on your shoulder. This world will never be the same without you in it, Jesus. I love you, friend. I will see you again one day @jesushair ♥️.”
More Than Just a Hairstylist
Ariel Tejada, another celebrity makeup artist who worked closely with Guerrero, called him an angel and a guiding force. “One of God’s most beautiful angels has just opened his wings and flew to join Him in heaven and watch over me,” he wrote in an emotional post. “There’s a lot to learn from Jesus, not only his insane talent that most of you have come to know him for but also his humility, his compassion, his resilience, his drive, and his love for life.”
Tejada continued, “There was no one like you, Jesus, and there will never be. I’ll see you later, because I can’t say goodbye. I love you so, so much, my favorite angel forever 🥊 rest in Heaven.”
An Unbreakable Bond with Clients and Friends
