Angie ting & Roland Boutin

As the founder of children’s clothing and toy brands Apple Park and Organic Farm Buddies, and the mother of two young children, it’s understandable that Angie Ting doesn’t have a lot of time to herself. Yet the stylish mum is known for her perfectly put-together looks, always complete with a flawless coiffure—thanks to Roland Boutin, the co-founder and director of the Bruneblonde salon in the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. Ever since she first went to Roland six years ago, Angie has never strayed. “I’m very dedicated to Roland,” she says. “He’s always on schedule, treats all his clients like VIPS and, most importantly, does amazing cuts. My hair even looks good when it starts growing out!” As someone who comes from a family of French hairdressers, Roland knows what it takes to keep his clients coming back. “Good hair is not enough—everyone expects good hair,” he explains. “To make someone a loyal follower, you have to go way above and beyond a good haircut or colour. We are a shoulder to cry on, a keeper of the darkest secrets—but ultimately, we are their hairdresser.”
