HoYeon Jung

The celebrity under the spotlight is South Korean model &

actress, HoYeon Jung. Commenting on her eclectic looks is

Singapore’s Alex Neo, Director of The Lawn Hairdressing.

HoYeon Jung shot to international stardom earlier this year when she decided to make the transition from modelling to

acting. For a girl keen to become recognised outside her own country of South Korea, the perfect opportunity arose when

she was cast to make her acting debut in the 2021 Netflix K-drama, Squid Game. She plays Kang Sae-byeok, a North Korean

defector and pickpocket who needs money to support her younger brother and track down her estranged mother. Before

Squid Game, HoYeon Jung had already enjoyed a successful career as a model. She had become known by designers as the

“red-haired Asian” and was accredited in Vogue magazine as one of Seoul’s top modelling talents of 2015. This year, she

has also become the most-followed South Korean actress on Instagram – the culmination of both her successful modelling

career and the more recent fame that Squid Game has brought to her door. When it comes to her hairstyles and general

appearance, HoYeon Jung does not shy away from experimentation – she is happy to try out an eclectic mix of looks,

ranging from classically chic through to avant-garde.

ALEX NEO, SALON DIRECTOR OF THE LAWN HAIRDRESSING

All the looks here are pretty special in their own ways, but I think the look below left is the best on

HoYeon. She exudes a natural beauty and confidence and most importantly her hair style does not

overshadow her. Her natural style (far left) makes a nice silhouette, but this style makes her face

look more squarish, as there is too much emphasis on the lower jaw. Looking at other images of

her, where there are more looser waves, her face looks gentler, softer and less angular. As for the

colour I would say that being the Asian Redhead is absolutely on point for Ho Yeon, but light brown

also suits her very well as it gives her a very feminine, soft and natural energy. Finally, I would

say that the hairstylists working for Squid Game really knew what they were doing when they cut

her hair that way. It wasn’t at all flattering, so it worked so well for her character in the show!

Beautiful Brunettes

Move over, blondies! Brunette is the hottest color trend this

season, from cappuccino to ebony and everything in between.

Brunettes are no longer dull or mousey, but rather luxurious and sensual. Just add a touch of dimension

or detail with balayage or other techniques to warm tones like cinnamon, chestnut, and caramel or cool

ones like ash, cacao, and burgundy. Ask your colorist to open up a world of possibilities!

BOHEMIAN PUNK

Raven black hair is perfect for this ecletic Bohemian look with an exotic oriental vibe. A perfect example of less being more. The finish is

smooth with an ever-so-subtle texture for some soft, touchable volume. The idea of the half-open zip accessory being used as a sort of punk

snood for the half-beehive in the back is brilliant. This image is the ultimate example of brunette hair being a highly artistic proposal of

alternative elegance.

SUNSET TO TWILIGHT

The inspiration for this collection moves from Sunset to Twilight, encompassing a Brunette Plum, Melding Copper, Red, Oranges

shaped into a bob with whispers of Violet and Blue hues. The shape of this bob is softer and moves freely with a multi-texture and

asymmetric overlay fringe. What better way to celebrate the winter season than with warmth and sophistication?

TRUE TO YOURSELF

This look from the Go Goldwell Masterbrand Campaign says it all. This espresso brunette is the

ideal base for slightly lighter contours to fame the face. Then from the chin down a grayish-teal

sombre is both subtle and soft. Another enormous advantage is that maintenance is minimum. So

this technique makes it the perfect option for the client on the go who still wants to make a fashionforward

statement. Experiment with different hues, not only blue, but greys, reds, violets and more.

Hair: Go Goldwell Masterbrand Campaign

TAKING IT TO NEW HEIGHTS

Not your everyday updo! This look is perfect for any formal occasion. The sleek polished finish enhances

the reflections of light on the dark base. The sculpted interwoven layers lend an artful touch of

sophistication, while the runaway wisps evoke a sense of rebellion. Simplicity and complexity wrapped

up in one magically elegant coif.

WILD AND WISPY

“Brunette is a colour that every colourist loves to work with – it can be filled with warmth, rich and glossy or can

be cool, creative and completely bespoke, all to suit the client, their hair vision and their lifestyle. When creating

this image, I want a colour that would work alongside the models complexion as well as the haircut, and help me

create the statement that I had envisioned. The colour created, worked so well with the lighting on the shoot, that

it showed off the multi-dimensional tones used throughout the look to give a much more creative look.”

EASY DOES IT

“I love how the strong look of this a very on-trend cheekbone grazing bob complements the

beautiful brunette hair colour. Brunettes are always on trend, but for 2021 and 2022 brunettes will

be multidimensional. You will see a number of different brunette tones through the hair, giving

dimension, depth and also a reflective shine. We wanted the brunette tones to stand out and enhance

the cut, yet to look a incredibly healthy, soft, and glossy.

DREAMING WIDE AWAKE

“This collection was inspired by the stillness of water and the reflection of the sky when it hit the water during the morning moon.

One of the directions I was moving towards was simplicity; soft solid hair color, white blonde, blue black, golden dark blondes and

espresso. Haircuts are precision, classic and defined,” explained Lisa Vann. The purity of this rich saturated espresso tone is almost

too perfect, so the touch of the crinkly fly-aways keeps this angelic vision grounded.

KEEPING IT SIMPLE

“Brunette is a gorgeous colour to shoot images with. It’s depth and slight mystery transpires beautifully through your images and

I love working with this hair colour. I wanted to pair the brunette with a classic, simple bob. Movement in the hair was important to

show off not only the colour, but the shape too. Brunette is a colour that suits many different skin tones and complexions due to the

different hues that run through it. Adding warmth to classic brunette works beautifully, too.”

UK_Hair: Simon Hill; Styling: Ian Todd; Photography: Chris Bulezuik; Make-up: Stacey Whittaker

trends

“Inspired by the concept of “NATURAL, SOFT & ESSENTIAL” to embrace the feminine, hair must have movement. The creative

direction is going back to basics for comfort and creating a harmonious balance.” This delicious cinnamon shade and long,

touchable locks gently soften the overall mood of this look.

SMOKING HOT!

“I used Newance Fashion Brown Shades to make different colour placements throughout the hair using the Airtouch technique.

I paid special attention to the shape and structure of the head to create a seamless blend of colour. Also, this technique can

be applied to perfectly blend multiple natural brown shades, such as cool brown and warm brown; it adds translucency and

smokiness to the colour result.”

JUST BE WHO YOU ARE

“This image epitomises our brand; gorgeous, wearable hair, and natural makeup, so the individual

looks and feels like the very best version of themselves. This tone-on-tone effect was achieved using

a soft colour palette that complements the model’s skin-tone, whilst leaving the authenticity of her

natural root intact. To emphasise the beauty of the hair’s natural texture, colour placement was really

important. Ribbons of caramel applied from the mid-section to the tip enhance the hair’s natural

curl and movement, resulting in a sun-kissed goddess vibe - and our vision of modern beauty!”

BLENDING BRUNETTES

“What I love about this image is the way the hair is dressed with the curls and texture, which really

showcases the hair colour. The shape of the hair lets us create extra dimension by layering multiple tones

of brunettes, copper brunettes, mahogany brunette and ash brunette on top of each other in a layered

system and this really created depth and texture so it wasn’t flat and dull.”

From

East toWest

Beauty is in a state of continuous fluidity across the

continents and setting us new goals. Here we make

comparisions that span the entirety of the globe. Daniela Giambrone

Hair Hyunwoo Lee For 198201111959 Korea

Creativity evolves and flows into the collective sensitivity of individuals, wherever they reside. Beauty,

meanwhile, mirrors society while anticipating and summarising its characteristics through time. There’s

no doubt that hairstylists have a huge role in this creative global process, because it is also thanks to their

vision and their work that the concept of contemporary beauty is built up. Here, Estetica compares two

stylists - one from the East, one from the West, who, despite being poles apart demonstrate some very

strong connections. Out of their words a diversity emerges, one which not only characterises them, but

also highlights how universal the language of beauty really is - regardless of space and time. Here are

Korean, Hyunwoo Lee and Belgian, Joeri Rouffa's answers to exactly the same set of questions:

20 artist

What does ‘hair’ mean to you?

HWL: It is my past, present and future. It is everything to me.

JR: What I find really interesting is that hair is always itself. Let me explain: I love the fact of being able

to transform it - sculpt and create the most eccentric and crazy styles - but that it always return to its

natural state of origin.

What is the most interesting aspect of being a hairstylist?

HWL: The current focus of Korean hairstyling has really shifted. When I started this job, I tended to do

research and study overseas designers, I was influenced by them. Today Korean hairstylists have

improved and know how to create really innovative and original looks.

JR: Being able to transform a model for a photoshoot and then bring her back to her original identity at

the end of the session.

What future do you predict for hairdressing?

HWL: Korean hairdressing is not as developed as in Europe or the USA, I expect a continuous

evolution, which will allow us to go on experimenting with how we work.

Hair Hyunwoo Lee for GQ Korea

Korean

Avant Garde

Hyunwoo Lee is a hair

artist based in Seoul.

Having discovered

his passion for hair

and beauty at a tender

age, he immediately

started working in

salons and shortly

after in the fashion

world. Encouraged by

this environment and

its experiences, Lee

started working as an

independent artist in

2016. His attentive eye

for the latest trends

and interest in the

people who surround

him are the main tools

of his work: bold and

groundbreaking, but

with a great poetic vein.

JR: There are so many opportunities out there and I feel that we are experiencing an era in which each of us has their

own opinion and wants to do things our own way. When you walk through the streets of Paris or New York you see all

sorts of hair looks, from vintage to punk, from smooth to super textured. I think the future of is heading towards the

individual expression: everyone chooses what is best for them

How are standards of beauty changing?

HWL: I think today’s standards are more oriented towards uniqueness. In the past, the models were selected from

agencies and they were all tall and slim. Today, the great fashion houses seem more interested in focusing on ordinary

people, even if they do not represent the stereotypes of ‘perfection’.

JR: I definitely perceive a change, models now represent the common people more. Consumers must be able to recognize

themselves in images in magazines and fashion shows. I think the iconic models of the past are disappearing. This makes

me think about how to change fashion by using models which encapsulate all interpretations of beauty.

European

Vibes

Joeri Rouffa is a

hairstylist based in

Antwerp who worked

on the most

prestigious fashion

magazines such as

Vogue, V Magazine,

Harper's Bazaar and

Elle. His work conveys

a sense of true passion

that really puts

hairdressing to the

test. Together with a

methodical attention

for quality, detail and

technique. Joeri's hair

looks are always

impeccable - right to

the finish - and are

marked by a very

personal use of colour.

Hair Joeri Rouffa for MIrror Mirror Mag

Hair Joeri Rouffa for L'Officiel Paris

Hair Hyunwoo Lee for Harper's Bazaar Korea

In your opinion, is it possible to create ‘everyday’ Avant Garde?

HWL: This is the problem all hairstylists face. Generally, stylists are forced to stay within certain limits,

and often advertising requires natural hair, so attention is on the product to be sold. However, I believe it

is important to define what is meant by ‘everyday’ people. Only very few people lead cutting-edge lives,

most need to conform to the demands of their daily lives. It only through breaking those ties of

conformity that you can ever think about change.

JR: Of course! Some ‘everyday’ people can carry off an Avant Garde cut very well. I think it immediately

makes them become even more interesting.

Hidetaka

Yoshikawa

Chairman & C.E.O. of Takara Belmont,

Hidetaka Yoshikawa, speaks to Estetica

about why 2021 has been such an

important year for this hugely important

international corporation.

In this interview,

Mr Yoshikawa

stresses the

importance of

helping to realise

a sustainable

society through

business, while

enabling people

everywhere to

live a fruitful and

beautiful life.

e at Estetica Asia are

delighted to be able to

publish this exclusive

interview with the

Chairman & C.E.O.

of Takara Belmont,

Hidetaka Yoshikawa.

He discusses past, present and some

very exciting plans for the future!

Estetica: Mr. Yoshikawa, please

remind our readers why this year

has been so exciting and significant

for you all at Takara Belmont?

Hidetaka Yoshikawa: It’s because

we have been celebrating our 100th

anniversary - on October 5 2021, to

be exact! We see this celebration as a

tribute to everyone who has

supported us and used our products

over the years, including of course

our very important customers in the

hairdressing & beauty industry. We

would like to take this opportunity

to extend our sincere appreciation

to everyone concerned.

Please give us an insight into

Takara Belmont’s story so far.

We started off a century ago as a

small foundry with only several

employees in the industrial area

known as the “Manchester of the

East” in Osaka. Over the years the

company moved with the times and

expanded its business under the

motto of “supporting the beauty and

health of people”, going on to make

major inroads into the global

market and the industries of dental

& medical equipment and beauty, as

well as by developing cosmetics.

Today, we have grown into a

company that sells products in more

than 120 countries around the world.

The company now has overseas

subsidiaries in 12 countries, and

sells hairdressing- and medicalrelated

products to hairdressers,

beauticians, nail artists, dentists and

doctors in the world. The products

sold overseas include hair salon

equipment brand-named “Takara

Belmont,” hair salon exclusive

professional cosmetic products

named “LebeL” and “ESTESSiMO,”

and dental and medical equipment

called “Belmont.”

Which was your most recent hair

product launch?

In October we launched LebeL

ONE in Japan. It’s a full hair care

range centred around a shampoo

Horos

innovation based on cutting-edge

stem cell research. The philosophy

behind the range is that a habit

repeated every day has the power

to change the future of your hair.

Through daily home care and

professional salon care, you will

achieve a self-moisturizing scalp

and achieve truly beautiful hair.

Can you be more specific about

how Takara Belmont works with

our industry?

Takara Belmont, which entered the

hairdressing field by producing

barber chairs, has expanded the

scope of its business to manufacture

and sell salon chairs, shampoo units,

hair processors, beauty equipment,

and cosmetic products for hair, skin

and nail care. Moreover, the company

designs hair salons and provides

counselling on the management of

such salons, including technical

instructions for their staffers, thus

supporting the management of hair

salons on various levels.

The last couple of years must

have been quite challenging for

you, as it has been for all the

hair and beauty industry.

The need for society to maintain

social distancing and avoid physical

contact due to the COVID-19

pandemic was of course a major

problem for the hair & beauty

industry. Despite these times of

great uncertainty, our mission is to

ensure the safety and wellbeing of

those people in any workplace

where physical contact is required.

We will also continue to contribute

to all the industries we work with

through tireless efforts and

unlimited resources of creativity.

What about the NEXT 100 years?

"Rise into beauty, Walk into life."

As our centenary commemorations

come to their close, Takara Belmont

has defined in its corporate purpose

how the company should aim to

contribute to society over the next

100 years. It is human beings’

universal goal to get pleasure from

having beauty in their lives. Takara

Belmont sees responding to this

universal desire as its permanent

corporate purpose. Furthermore, all

the Takara Belmont group companies

will join forces and continue to

take on the challenge of further

contributing to the development

of the industries of our customers,

squarely address the realization of

a sustainable society through our

business, and help people everywhere

live a fruitful and beautiful life.

We know Takara Belmont is

always very mindful of the

importance of sustainability and

protecting the environment.

Can you tell us about any special

initiatives on this subject?

We started a project called

“Re:bonis” with the goal of creating

MILK by Ura

new value by eliminating waste

synthetic leather from our own

factory during the manufacturing

process of chairs. This project

utilises approximately 140 types of

waste synthetic leather in various

colours by giving them new usage

and value, both inside and outside

the company. Also from the

perspective of achieving Sustainable

Development Goals, we use

excellent biodegradable cleaning

ingredients for our new shampoo

LebeL ONE to protect precious

water resources. In addition, by

cutting the cleaning component by

30% and shortening the rinsing

time, we can expect to save about

8.8% of water wastage, with a

predicted annual water saving of

4,726 tons.

Finally, Mr. Yoshikawa, please can

you remind us about your very

exciting news for 2022?

Yes! We have decided to hold the

international beauty festival – the

Takara World Business Congress

2022 (TWBC2022) at the Pacifico

Yokohama in Japan. We had

planned to hold “TWBC2021”

in 2021, however, due to the

coronavirus pandemic, it was

inevitably cancelled. After careful

consideration, we have decided

to hold it on November 21st and

22nd 2022. We are planning to

participate not only at the venue

but also online. Please look forward

to it. Further details will be

announced on our website as and

when they become available.

Thank you for talking to us,

Mr. Yoshikawa.

presented by Alternative Hair Founder, Tony Rizzo and Worldwide President, Anthony Mascolo and was

broadcast from the grounds of a quintessential English country house, blending traditional design with

futuristic concepts. As always, all proceed from the show so to support The Alternative Hair Charitable

Foundation and Blood Cancer UK. Sponsors for this year’s Alternative Hair Show were Premier Sponsor:

Wella; Charity Sponsors: TIGI, Infringe, Linda Hair, Sun Sea and AH products.

The digital format did nothing to distract from the anticipation and excitement felt by the thousands industry

professionals who participated; furthermore, the virtual format enabled the participating artistic teams to take

their creativity to an even higher level showing the international audience an incredible level of both

imagination and technical skill.

THE VISIONARY AWARD FINALS

Day One was dedicated to the Visionary Award Finals, which have now become so popular that it was felt

they warranted their own show time. A first this year was also the New Visionaries Video Show, which gave

past finalists and winners of the Visionary Award the opportunity to create their own, amazing show.

Everyone who participated agreed that the Video show was a valuable addition to the event’s proceedings and

that it will doubtless have an exciting future.

TEXTURE

SHAPE

AN ARTISTIC MEDIUM

Historically hairstyles have taken on many connotations: from an insignia of social status as in elaborate 17th-century

wigs, to Lady Godiva’s eroticism, to the bobbed feminists of the 1920s, to Hair the Musical of the hippie counterculture and

sexual revolution of the late 1960s. Today’s hairstylists are a new breed who embrace hair as a blank canvas and sculptural

medium, pushing the limits of their creativity, also thanks to innovative products, tools and techniques. A contemporary

reflection of the 21st-century individualism.

Storicamente le acconciature hanno assunto svariate connotazioni: a partire da simbolo dello status sociale come nelle

elaborate parrucche del XVII secolo, all’erotismo di Lady Godiva, alle femministe con il carré degli anni ’20, fino a Hair,

il musical della controcultura hippie e della rivoluzione sessuale alla fine degli anni ’60. Gli hairstylist di oggi sono una

nuova generazione che abbraccia i capelli come una tela bianca e un mezzo scultoreo, spingendosi oltre i limiti della propria

creatività, anche grazie a prodotti, strumenti e tecniche innovative. Uno specchio dell'individualismo del XXI secolo.

Goldwell is thrilled to

announce two exciting

new additions to its

professional haircare

product range:

Dualsenses Bond Pro

and LightDimensions.

Bespoke

Care Solutions

DUALSENSES BOND PRO FROM GOLDWELL

Dualsenses Bond Pro is an intensive, new range of 5 professional haircare

products specifically created to provide instant strength and resilience for weak,

fragile hair that is prone to breakage. It instantly reinforces and restructures hair

from roots to ends, proving beyond a doubt that strong is the new beautiful!

Dualsenses Bond Pro works like your own emergency responder, rescuing even

the most frail hair strands without weighing them down. It’s your dream ticket to

waving goodbye to the horrors of hair breakage and those dreaded split ends.

How is it Different?

Dualsenses Bond Pro contains a special innovative Inter-Amino-Bond Builder,

which fortifies hair from the inside out. Peptides and amino-acids penetrate the

hair cortex, specifically targeting the damaged areas, making the hair fibre

stronger and more resilient. Meanwhile, Goldwell’s proprietary MicroPROtec

Complex distributes all the essential ingredients quickly and evenly for results

you can instantly see and feel.

Fortifying Shampoo to instantly

deliver structure and care for weak,

fragile hair;

immediately create stronger hair

with visibly less breakage and

protection against further damage

when brushing or combing;

60sec Treatment to instantly

strengthen the hair fibre by up to

100% in 60 seconds, preventing

breakage and split ends and sealing

the cuticle for smoothness and

protection;

Repair & Structure Spray to smooth

the hair surface and to prep it for

styling and providing long-lasting

cuticle protection and day-to-day

resilience;

Day & Night Bond Booster to

impart long-term strength and

stability to each hair strand – the

ultimate strengthening tool with

the highest concentration of Inter-

Amino-Bond Builder in the range.

lightener Oxycur Platin for the most powerful lifting performance available within

the LightDimensions range. SilkLift and Oxycur Platin are formulated with

Goldwell’s signature BondPro+ technology to respect and protect the natural hair

structure.

reduced by 80% and additionally the waste volume was reduced by 85%. All folding

boxes are produced out of FSC certified material under climate-neutral conditions.

interviewed the winners:

➤ AVANT GARDE STYLIST

OF THE YEAR GOLD WINNER

• SEAN CHIU (HONG KONG)

Why was it important for you to

enter the Global Creative Awards?

I found it allowed me to expand my

horizons through learning from

different stylists and it was a good

platform for all of us to learn from

each other globally.

Do you think it’s important to

enter international competitions

like this?

Yes, I do. I promise myself to always

try and be the best I can. Also, it

allows more hair professionals to

create, to challenge themselves and

to express what ‘hair’ really means.

How did you feel about this being

a virtual experience?

‘Virtual’ has been the only way to

keep things happening. I felt great,

but if it had been a live event, that

would have been perfect.

What was the inspiration behind

the images in your collection?

It was based on the time being

affected by Covid. Everything has a

cycle we just need to embrace the

present and be patient for the great

times ahead.

Are there any friends or colleagues

that you’d like to thank for helping

support you on this journey?

I would like to thank Goldwell, my

family, my photographer Kenneth

and M PLUS salon for supporting

and helping me with ideas

throughout this journey.

➤ NEW TALENT COLOURIST

OF THE YEAR BRONZE

WINNER • CHLOE NG (CHINA)

What do the Global Creative

Awards mean to you and how do

you felt about winning an award?

This has been an amazing

opportunity to gain some great

recognition for my work as a hair

professional and colourist. When

I heard my name called out at the

awards ceremony, I felt so happy

and excited!

Why do you think international

competitions are important?

Yes, because you can gain

international recognition, be known

by more people and gain more

professional knowledge from being

part of it.

Explain a bit more about your

winning collection and your

inspiration behind it.

Once I saw a picture of a fruit

vendor. The colour combinations on

his stall in the picture gave me an

incredible sensation, so I decided to

include those colours in my work.

What would you say to anyone

thinking of entering in the future?

I hope more people participate and

therefore can learn more about

styling and colouring hair. You

could be the next champion: grasp

the opportunity when you can!

Who would you like to thank?

I really appreciate my colleagues’

support and help all the time. They

also gave me a lot of advice about

finishing off my work. I really also

want to thank Goldwell for

providing such a good competition.

➤ NEW TALENT COLOURIST

OF THE YEAR GOLD WINNER

• HARLEY LIU (TAIWAN)

What did it mean to you to be part

of this amazing global experience?

Entering the Global Creative

Awards has been a great way to push

my boundaries. During the creative

process, I really learned some

special techniques.

What’s your opinion of international

competitions like the Global

Creative Awards ?

They are so important. Entering the

Global Creative Awards is a great

opportunity to review your

inner-self and push your limits.

Also, it is important for stylists from

Taiwan to be recognized on the

global stage.

How did you feel about this being

a virtual experience?

Even though the world is still

suffering from Covid, thanks to

Goldwell’s insistence and

perseverance we were at least able to

go ahead virtually. I’m definitely

looking forward to the 2022 event!

What was the inspiration behind

the images in your collection?

The inspiration came from Covid

times. Humankind had to change

the way it lived. I used the 2021

Pantone Colours - grey and yellow

- for my creation to reflect our

search for hope and balance.

Do you have any advice for future

Global Creative Awards entrants?

Never give up never give in. Keep

working and entering competitions,

the process of creation will help you

to step outside your comfort zone

and think outside the box.

Who would you like to thank?

Thanks of course to Goldwell for

the opportunity and also to Eros

Hairstyling and my bosses for their

support. Thanks also to my model,

for encouragement and allowing me

to use her hair without limits!

➤ AVANT GARDE STYLIST

OF THE YEAR SILVER WINNER

• SHI-HAN ZHOU (TAIWAN)

Why was it important for you to

enter the Global Creative Awards?

To build my self-motivation and

also for the wonderful enjoyment

of being able to create a unique

piece of work on my own. It was an

amazing feeling when I found out I’d

got through to the final 6 and then

to go on to win the Silver award!

How did you feel about this being

a virtual experience and what

about 2022 being live again?

All the arrangements for the virtual

event went so well, it’s also a real

innovation for our industry. I’m

definitely looking forward to next

year. I hope Covid goes away next

year, as I am more than ready for the

next round!

Talk us through the collection

which won you the Silver award?

My inspiration is the change in sky

when different weather fronts move

in. It’s something that changes all

the time - a bit like our moods:

happy, sad or angry.

Anyone you'd like to thank?

Thanks to Eros Hairstyling and also

my bosses for full support. Also

thanks to my bestie Eva He. She

showed her sincere encouragement

whenever I felt frustrated.

➤ SALON TEAM OF THE YEAR

SILVER WINNER • K-HANS

(TAIWAN)

Why was it important for you to

enter the Global Creative Awards?

As a salon owner, it is important to

encourage your team to step out

their comfort zone. Through the

Global Creative Awards journey, my

team could broaden their horizons

and gain unexpected experiences.

Which emotion did you feel when

you realised you’d won?

Personally, it was one of peace and

happiness for my team. They

worked so hard and gained such a

good result: their moment of glory!

Do you think it’s important to

enter international competitions?

Yes, sure. The Competition is more

about creative inspiration than

putting together general commercial

looks. It is a special experience that

you can’t gain in a salon.

Some advice for anyone thinking

of entering in the future?

For young stylists, don’t limit

yourself and try as hard as you

possibly can. For salon owners, give

your team you full support.

Who would you like to thank?

My team, K-Hans Salon and also

my personal close friend Sai, a

well-known director in Taiwan.

And now, we want to celebrate that. We invite you

to share your work with us and the world. You have

the talent; we have the stage for you.

Share your creative vision

// imagine: Let your imagination run wild.

Envision your collection. What will you show

the world? How will the colors, shapes and textures

look? Once you have your vision, assemble your

mood board to bring it to life. Review. Refine.

Reimagine. Repeat until you’re satisfied.

// create: Find your muse. Assemble your team.

It’s time for you to bring your vision to life.

Be clear. Be focused. Push yourself

and make it big. Make it great. Make it stand out.

out there. Enter the Global Creative Awards and

share your vision with the world. Impress our judges

with your collection. Inspire the entire world.
