Take your look up a notch by accenting a vibrant base with his signature highlights. For Mak, hair colour is all about being able to express yourself without uttering a single word.
SALON SPEAK
Hidden within one of KL’s finest departmental stores, take a break from all that shopping and indulge in the luxurious treatments and services available. The pristine, minimalist interior sets the tone for a lovely afternoon filled with pampering and friendly banter with your stylist. Also, its private areas are perfect for those who enjoy exclusivity, or perhaps a little gossip with the girls!
NEED TO KNOW
Mak received his training from two Australian mentors when he first started his career yet he prefers to build on personal experience. He is currently inspired by classic hairstyles, especially those from the Greco-Roman era. “By adding modern colours to these antiquated hairstyles they turn out to be something special,” he notes. Paying close attention to all factors involved, he knows what will make or break a look and executes his work with unrivalled finesse.
