The Yin & Yang Collection celebrates duality — the balance of strength and softness, power and grace. Inspired by the contrast between the powerhouse alpha female and the soft romantic, each look was designed to reveal how beauty can live equally in boldness and delicacy. Strength, after all, can be just as beautiful as vulnerability.


Color placement and haircut design work in harmony throughout the collection, using razor-cut precision and creative styling to express individuality and emotion.


The Waterfall: A reimagined ponytail cascading freely without the traditional elastic band, the hair flows like a waterfall with green tips accenting lighter blonde hair.



Red Drama: A bold fringe with soft ghost layers complemented by a diagonal two-toned color pattern of red-and-black for a strong color statement with subtle accents.



Patchwork Quilt:  Drawing from geometric prints and autumnal color, hair is swept into a topknot accented with fuzzy hair balls and a strong fringe — a playful nod to handcrafted artistry and modern couture.



Confetti Hair: Inspired by a kaleidoscope, this exaggerated triangular silhouette shape falls into a dramatic ponytail, blending pastel color tones and movement with a strong angular shape.



Asymmetric Bob: Starting with a color melt of dark brown and green, a curling iron was used to set with tiny curls to create mega volume and asymmetrical texture.
