Hi, sorry its been so long since I posted but I'm in the middle of moving my blog to Wordpress right now and its abit more complicated than I imagined so hopefully by the next time we'll see you on the new site, meanwhile back to business....

I picked this hairstyle from an ad for nails, mainly because of it being a very classic one length basic bob. This picture shows that no matter how simple the haircut/style is, the total look can still be of one that is hip, classic and non-mumsy as long as the rest of your look/outfit looks cool!
So all you women out there who are afraid to end up looking mumsy with a basic bob, you should have a think about your total look and not just the hair : )


My Pick 11

My Pick because I like the way the hair has been set, I can only guess that the style has been set using rollers or irons. Starting the curls further down from the head to give it a flatter look at the crown working into the definite curls at the middle length and ends. Love the bushiness of it, sorry I cant remember which ad campaign this was from but well done to the stylist.

KUNG HEI FAT CHOI to all my Juju Chan readers....Part 3 of my Asian Models series...

Paolo Roversi must be one lucky guy!! This photographer gets to shoot these up and coming gorgeous Asian models both for China Vogue as well as Korea Vogue (another post) This one was shot for the cover of Vogue China:

It just amazes me how similar they look when they have been styled the same, both in the first picture and the punk rock Steven Meisal shoot we showed. at least with the 2nd picture, the hair makes the features of each girl stand out more.
Inside this issue is an article called Black on Black, Photographs were taken by Peter Lindbergh and styled by Nicoletta Santoro. I Love this next picture of Liu Wen, Tao Okomoto and Ming Xi, and I love the hair being casually wrapped and of course Tao’s bowl cut, which makes her so distinct.

After gorging myself with sausage rolls and Cumberland sausages nearly every day on my trip to the UK, I came across this Ad for a handbag, (altho sorry, I can't remember which make : { ) but anyway it gave me a lot of inspiration... this is what I'm aiming for before my Hawaii trip.....
: O (Sorry this is not about the bag itself so I cut it off the picture : / )

Hi, Happy 2012, I know its been a while but I will always have to think twice before upgrading my computer again. 3days of troubleshooting and not being able to do any blogging, what a stressful start to the year, but anyway I'm back, so enjoy the post....

Some fabulous shots and a brilliant fashion spread by Photographer Paolo Roversi for Vogue Korea.
Models – Hyun Yi Lee, Han Hye Jin, Hye Jung Lee.
I simply love the styling and hair on these pictures, even though two have the Tao Okomoto bowl cut, it’s a great look on Asian hair. My favorite photo being the one with the colorful hat, well done guys!

Cute and gorgeous, showing the most simple hairstyle but also showing us that simple can be very hip, if all is else matches.. Asia Chow is the daughter of restaurateur Michael Chow and his third wife Eva Chun.
Yeah, I got abit confused for sec too, I thought it was China Chow, had to look them up, China is also Michael Chows daughter, but to his second wife Tina Chow. Should've guessed there was a connection really, I mean, Asia and China?

Its Christmas!! Yay... Are you stuck on what you buy for a little gift? Then you should check out my Texture Powder Styler, perfect for anyone who needs lift and body, or anyone who just wants to refresh and absorb all excess oils.

There’s been so many articles about the new (not so new now) crop of upcoming supermodels from China, Japan and Korea lately that I wanted to show them ALL to you.. so here is my first post, taken from Vogue (last year, sorry I’m abit behind) who has featured these girls so much, The photographer here was Steven Meisal. The shoot was styled by Grace Coddington and the hair was dressed into modern punk rock styles to contrast with the ball gowns and amazingly enough, I have looked so hard to see who did the wonderful hair dressing for this shoot and could not find anything online, so I’m very sorry to the hairstylist who should've got full credit for this.
My Picks 2 Vogue Dec 2010
My picks
The girls include: Liu Wen, Tao Okamoto, Du Juan, Bonnie Chen, Hyoni Kong, Lee Hyun Yi, Lily Zhi and So Young Kong.
I have to admit, even with my experienced Asian eyes, even though I think the spread is fabulous, the way they have been styled makes it really difficult to distinguish between one fine boned girl to another, making me think that the old sayin’ ‘All Asians look alike’ could well be true here.. Eek sorry!

Steven Meisal Vogue 2010

Love it when someone decides to just go for it.. Not such a big deal in Europe where women have short funky hair all the time but here in the US, I think long still rules with most women, so its nice to see someone ‘whacking it all off’ as we say in England!

This is Christine Han, writer from W magazine who opted to have a change, Her Haircut was done my Garren, top New York Stylist. Looks gorgeous!

Did you know that stress induces hair loss?

So take some time our to relax and breathe once in a while.

c870cb95544120b30c43c91e2d22a496-origWhether you love it or hate it, you have to admit that alot of skill, talent and patience went into this one. I for one appreciate the creativity involved in this total look. Really well done I say..



Quite well done and a great idea, just wish it actually showed more hair rather than the accessories, but still very enjoyable and very creative! Thanks to Mira Torres-Montalvo for showing me this.

Wonder what most of you think of this one? Cute? Pretty?

For me, this is a definite NO NO, The hairstyle is so wrong for the face shape, it closes the face in and makes it look so narrow! The potential for cuteness is all there, with the anime contacts and the cutesy look, but please, the fringe area needs to open up more for it to work ….

Finally… we have an Asian Male Supermodel… way overdue but here you go… worth the wait I would say. Godfrey Gao is a Taiwanese-Canadian actor and model. Born in Vancouver to a Taiwanese father and a Malaysian mother, Godfrey is now the new face of Louis Vuitton!!

Bowing to the fastest growing demographic – the Asian consumer, Louis Vuitton is one of the most popular luxury brands amongst China’s super-rich, so it only makes sense to put that Asian face out there to represent the brand.

The Louis Vuitton Campaign:

Godfrey-Gao-in-the-Louis--010

Godfrey Gao Garage02

At 6ft 4”, he certainly breaks all the stereotypical attributes of the Chinese man, in fact Godfrey is too tall for catwalk sessions as most of the clothes do not fit him.

And again making him very unique to how other Asian males look is that he sports facial hair, this is one of the qualities that made him the face of Louis Vuitton.

I must say I totally agree with the whole facial hair look, Yumm, there’s nothing like abit of scruff to bring some sex-appeal to a man!!! I am ultra surprised at how gorgeous this guy is, Normally I don’t think much to Asian men at all, maybe because usually you get the geeky glasses with a suit and side parted hair thrown into out faces but at last we have one very sexy Asian dude!
Here’s afew more, my favorite one – Asian version of Robert Pattinson!!

Just had to share these sexy pictures and hairstyles with you. These were taken from Interview Magazine who did a feature on ‘China Girls’ showing sexy moody looks in the 20’s Opium Dens, I pulled 2 of my favorites to show you the mood and decadence of the theme.

Hair was done by Paul Hanlon from the Julia Watson Agency. I wonder if it was the same guy who did the Louis Vuitton fashion campaign as the hair looks very similar. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this total look to this feature, very clean, sharp, creative and mainly ‘very sexy’!

Here’s the Louis Vuitton campaign (from Marie Claire magazine) with a similar feel in hair.

Did you know that tying your hair too tight can lead to a gradual hair loss known as Traction Alopecia, I know this to be true as I have seen people’s (men and women) front hairline recede due to wearing tight ponytails…

And we all know that excessive hair drying, curling and straightening can damage hair, this we all know to be true!

I’ve been putting off writing this post because I wanted to be abit more positive about how I felt about this vitamin before putting it out there.

Biotin is a B-Complex vitamin dietary supplement that promotes healthy skin, nails and hair.
I first heard about this when one of my clients told me she had started taking this vitamin. Her hair was getting thinner throughout the top part of the head and we had to be careful about how we cut the front area so it could frame her face and we had to position it so it would not show the thinner areas. Anyway after she had taken it for over 2 or 3 months I noticed that her hair was starting to thicken up and I was having to take more off the weight of the hair. I was amazed with it so I started to tell other clients with thinning hair about it.

Another client started taking it when I told her about it and lo and behold, her hair did the same thing, it thickened up the top area so that the scalp wasn’t so see-through! I’m not exactly sure how it works as I know that once someone is experiencing hair loss, it doesn’t usually change the root growth but this is exactly what seems to be happening as there is actually more hair coming through the scalp!

Not sure if this works well on women with hair loss only, I haven't had any men try it out yet but will report back to you once I hear more. I was told that for hair loss the higher dosage of 5000mcg is best, and one more thing… its also good for your metabolism, so say no more, I ran out and bought some when I read that part and started taking it myself!

Meanwhile I now hear Dr's prescribing it for hair loss too, so now I feel quite comfortable recommending it, after all, its like a little miracle really : )
PS, I should tell you that one client noticed more downy (fine fluffy/launugo) hair appearing on the sides of her face, but I guess that’s easy enough to wax off right? Worth it just for more hair on top I would think : )

Created by Studio Marisol, these elaborate hairpieces make a statement of their own! Personally I love them, they are well made, well designed and executed and would make fabulous pieces for stage, fashion runways or any other event that requires drama!

For reals?? Just came across this article....

Japanese firm orders 2,700 staff to get the same 'every saving' haircut... so they dont have to spend as long blow drying!
Men to have short back and sides and women to wear a 'cute' bob.

A Japanese company has ordered all 2,700 of its employees to get identical hairstyles - to help save energy.



Tokyo-based Maeda Corporation announced the move as part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March.

Men are expected to sport a short back-and-sides, slightly longer on the top, while women have been asked to wear a 'cute' bob with a fringe that can be swept to one side.


Chizuru Inoue, a spokesman for Maeda Corp, told the Daily Telegraph: 'Our company is very keen on protecting the environment and we encourage our staff to adopt many environment-friendly actions,
'We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair they do not need to use their hair driers for so long and they will use less water.
'If all our staff do this, then it may save a lot of power.'
