LIFE THROUGH A LENS

Seung Ki Baek cuts, colours and creates stunning Avant Garde looks as part of the award winning Rush Artistic Team

1 Into The Metaverse

This was the first collection that I helped create as Creative Colour Expert at RUSH; a beautiful, sleek bob paired with petrol infused colours to elevate the simpler haircut.

2 Luminescence

Out of my comfort zone, I created a collection with wig cutting, styling and UV colour.The UV colour draws attention, and the fishnet braiding highlights the different coloured ribbons.

3 Warrior

This was created for my 2014 Asian Warrior collection where my main inspiration came from the Korean heritage and Samurai Warriors. I wanted to create powerful and strong silhouettes using bold colours and origami inspired details.

4 Grunge

A look from my winning Southern Hairdresser of the Year collection.This collection was called Grunge and I wanted to make a statement with the colours achieving a strong and powerful finish.

5 Power Pony

This image has an editorial look, it’s different from my avant-garde, eclectic colour work.The collection won me the Southern Hairdresser of the Year title for the second time.

6 Peekaboo Pastel

I created this look for a RUSH collection in 2010.The colour is more subtle, but still really makes a statement, creating a ‘peekaboo’ effect with pastel hues emerging.

7 Sport Luxe

I created this look for the 2016 Rush Artistic Team where the theme was sport luxe. I combined braiding techniques with volume and height for a strong finish.
