COLLECTION
The Reef
2020 Contessa Finalist Collection, Multicultural Hairstylist / BC Hairstylist
I was born in the ocean town of Busan, in South Korea. Even though I spent most of my life in the city, I have always had a deep appreciation for the ocean, which is part of the reason why I fell in love with the west coast of Canada. Regarding this collection, I wanted to bring attention to the story of coral bleaching, by creating the hair which showcases this process.
