Here’s What K-Pop Hairstylists And Makeup Artists Think About Customers Who Want To Look Like Idols

Many of us have done it before—we’ve brought a picture of a K-Pop idol to the salon in the hopes that the hairstylist or makeup artist will be able to recreate their look.

Professional hair and makeup artists Ryu Ji and Jo Sun revealed what they think about customers like us in an interview with YouTube channel AYO.

The topic was brought up when a netizen asked them, “If I bring a picture of an actor or idol, can I get the same styling?”

Jo Sun revealed that they do their best to make it as similar as possible.

We can achieve a similar impression.

Although there are cases when customers get disappointed by the result, more often than not, they are “open-minded” and have set realistic expectations.

But customers these days are open-minded. We can make it look similar.

In fact, many are aware that no matter what their hair and makeup look like, their face will remain the same.

And they already know…that it’s not gonna work out.

On the bright side, Ryu Ji is confident that it is possible to recreate idol hairstyles. The same can probably be said for other talented hairstylists and makeup artists!

I make sure that I can do it exactly the same way when I cover your face. It’s possible.
