What or who inspires your beautiful hair creations?<\/strong> What are your favorite styling products at the moment?<\/strong> Baek, do you ever compete or are part of any hair shows in Asia?<\/strong> How did you start doing hair originally?<\/strong>
\nI’m inspired by many different things and many different artists.
\nThe Rush art team, Iris Van Herpen, Zaha Hardid, Angelo Seminara to name a few.
\nI’m mostly inspired by nature. The colours and shapes of deep-sea animals, coral reef, birds and even insects are fascinating to me. <\/em><\/p>\n
\nPly from L\u2019Oreal tecni.art. It is an amazing product to form the shape before creating any shape.
\nAso I love \u2018wet domination\u2019 L\u2019Oreal tecni.art. It gives a beautiful shine and finish.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI have been part of a few hair shows and seminars in South Korea.<\/em>
\nIt was <\/em>an amazing opportunity to be part of them. I wish that I could do more in Asia.<\/em>
\nHowever, I will be the judge on two of Korean hair competitions this year. I am very honoured and very excited about doing this.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI was a quiet and shy kid who had no particular interest in hairdressing or fashion industry.
\nThe main reason I started hairdressing was because my auntie who is a hairdresser told me male hairdressers are getting popular in the industry, so i decided to go for it.
\nThis is when I met my mentor at the hair acadamy called Sailee, he taught me all my knowledge of basic hairdressing and as he had studied hairdressing in Japan and the UK, he inspired me to move to London and study at Vidal Sassoon.<\/em><\/p>\n
