1.Travelling:  I travel the world and refresh and rejuvenate myself. Traveling the world and discovering new cultures will broaden my horizons. From personal experience anywhere in the world, I can tell which style looks best on Asians and Caucasians.


2. Cooking: One of my interests outside of work is cooking. It’s comparable to how you style your hair. It needs to taste good and look good at the same time. Styling your hair shouldn’t cause too much damage to your hair, but you still want to look your best. Likewise, with cooking!

3. Fashion Shows: Hair fashion shows were something I enjoyed attending. However, I’m unable to do so at the moment due to Covid-19. I get inspiration from a hair fashion show and keep up with the latest industry trends by watching them on television.


4. Kpop: Personally, I believe the best looks come from K-pop idols and the public adores them. It’s no secret that their fans are curious about the things the stars wear, eat, and have done with their hair and there are a lot of requests for customers to look like their favorite K-pop stars. If you work in the hair industry, you must be familiar with the K-pop idol style.

5. Hair Trends: I’m well-versed in the latest hairstyles and am constantly experimenting with them on my hair models. Television, magazines, and social media all show us new hairstyles every day and the trend shifts constantly. It’s critical that I make up for lost time and deliver an excellent product to my clients. Hence, I always invite my hair models to try out new looks.


6. Nature: I make an effort to maintain a sense of connection with the natural world. There are countless hues to choose from, and artists are constantly experimenting with new hues. Nature is where we can discover true color. If you look closely, even though they are the same type of flower, each has a distinct color. One of the best ways to discover new shades of color is to go for a walk in the park.
