Hot on the heels of Shunji Matsuo's charitable efforts comes another hairstylist who is pitching in to help The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund.
To mark the 10th anniversary of his hair salon Action Hair Salon, artistic director Vinn Wong held a hair show to raise money for the Fund.
The event, which was held at the Paragon Atrium three weeks ago, had Wong and his team of hairstylists performing the equivalent of hairstyling stunts on the runway to the beat of thumping rock music.
The showstopping bouffant headpieces, masterful backcombing and sleek bobs were enough to inspire guests, who included Senior Minister of State for Education and Information, Communications and the Arts, Rear-Admiral (NS) Lui Tuck Yew; Wong's clients and members of the media to donate over $10,000 to the Fund.
"We chose to raise money for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund because kids are the most innocent and helpless and they deserve all the help we can offer," said Wong, 35.
He also took the occasion to showcase his handbag designs. He created a collection of eight crocodile skin bags in "simple and classic designs to fully showcase the quality of the crocodile leather".
Crocodile leather was the chosen material because "exotic skin is what makes handbags unique and crocodile skin bags are appealing to my customers", he said of his well-heeled clientele.
He will donate the proceeds of the first handbag he sells to the ST School Pocket Money Fund. Prices for the bags start from $4,000.
To view and buy the bags, contact Sonnie Tan at Action Hair Salon, 05-33/34 Paragon, on tel: 6732-1003/6738-9038 or e-mail: enquiry@actionsalon.com.
