What does ‘hair’ mean to you?<br />
HWL: It is my past, present and future. It is everything to me.<br />
JR: What I find really interesting is that hair is always itself. Let me explain: I love the fact of being able<br />
to transform it - sculpt and create the most eccentric and crazy styles - but that it always return to its<br />
natural state of origin.<br />
What is the most interesting aspect of being a hairstylist?<br />
HWL: The current focus of Korean hairstyling has really shifted. When I started this job, I tended to do<br />
research and study overseas designers, I was influenced by them. Today Korean hairstylists have<br />
improved and know how to create really innovative and original looks.<br />
JR: Being able to transform a model for a photoshoot and then bring her back to her original identity at<br />
the end of the session.<br />
What future do you predict for hairdressing?<br />
HWL: Korean hairdressing is not as developed as in Europe or the USA, I expect a continuous<br />
evolution, which will allow us to go on experimenting with how we work.<br />
Hair Hyunwoo Lee for GQ Korea<br />
Korean<br />
Avant Garde<br />
Hyunwoo Lee is a hair<br />
artist based in Seoul.<br />
Having discovered<br />
his passion for hair<br />
and beauty at a tender<br />
age, he immediately<br />
started working in<br />
salons and shortly<br />
after in the fashion<br />
world. Encouraged by<br />
this environment and<br />
its experiences, Lee<br />
started working as an<br />
independent artist in<br />
2016. His attentive eye<br />
for the latest trends<br />
and interest in the<br />
people who surround<br />
him are the main tools<br />
of his work: bold and<br />
groundbreaking, but<br />
with a great poetic vein.
