I haven't done anything really dramatic with cuts because I'm a little scared.
I hope this long lob like a good medium of like, not too crazy of a difference.
Hello, my name is Kahyun Kim.
I'm getting a long lob today.
But before you see my transformation, subscribe below.
I want to get a long lob today because I've been wanting to get this hair cut for a while
and I was trying to get it when I was in Korea, but I was unable to.
I just didn't have the courage because the style wasn't really in
and so I've been waiting to get it when I come back to the States.
So here I am.
I hope the stylist tells me before I cut my hair that I'm going to look super cute.
My name is Michael Sparks.
I'm a hairstylist specializing in cutting working out of Tabb & Sparks in Santa Monica.
So I kind of wanna keep it a little bit longer,
but I do want to change your look.
Cool.
I think kind of like a lob, something that's not a bob, but something a little longer.
Cool.
It would look hot.
Alright, as long as I'm hot.
You'll be happy.
Okay, cool.
So first thing first, is I'm going to drape Kahyun.
Then I'm going to wet her hair, completely wet it.
I'm just so excited.
I haven't been this excited since quarantine started, especially about my looks.
There hasn't been a big change, so this is definitely refreshing.
I'm going to section out the back of the hair first, go up section by section, cut completely down.
I use scissors, clippers, razor.
I'm gonna want to build any unnecessary layers.
This is the first time I cut my hair shorter in the last five, seven years.
I had my hair really short when I was in college.
Oh my god.
That means I was in college five or seven years ago.
Should I put that on camera?
I love changing my hair a lot.
I've done a lot of hair coloring because I'm an actor.
On my last show, American Gods season two,
I was doing a lot of fun hair color, like pink, blue, purple, everything.
So normally I just do my hair depending on what kind of character I'm playing.
But since we're in quarantine and nothing is really going on, I wanted a big change that I wanted
for myself and this is just perfect.
Once I'm done with the perimeter, I will blow dry it.
The way that I blow dry, I like to,
especially with this kind of a haircut, I blow dry it straight down.
No body, less body, is better for this.
I can add that at the end.
Hair means everything to me.
And that's the word of Phoebe Waller-Bridge from Fleabag.
She has this amazing monologue when she goes into the salon with her sister because her
sister's hair looks all weird.
It is so true because as an actor, I think even before an
audition, you really do have to put a lot of time in with hair.
I do think it changes like the whole image of how you look.
Then I'll add textures into it, start tweaking out little corners and playing, taking weight
out of certain spots and then curling irons back into the hair.
My specialty is to make people look hot.
It's simple, easy, chic, modern with a little edge.
It's changing lives.
So we are all done. Check it out.
I'm so cute.
Oh my god, I'm so cute.
I wish I could give you a hug but thank you!
Oh my god, I'm actually so happy.
I love my hair.
It's very cute and sexy and hot.
I think my hair looks a lot thicker and healthier.
The ends were really dry.
So that being all cut off, it feels amazing.
This hairstyle, it makes me more like a woman.
Does give me a little bit of confidence.
He's given me my favorite haircut ever.
