PHOTOGRAPHYSCHWARZKOPF PROFESSIONALBEAUTY INSIDERFEMALE: Congratulations on being named
Colour Technician of the Year and Grand
Champion of SABC! Tell us, what was the
inspiration behind your winning look?
Euniece: “When I first decided to take
part in the contest, I tried sourcing for
different themes. I didn’t manage to look
for the right one until I saw a video clip
about the galaxy. I was attracted to it
because the colours and changes of the
galaxy are incredibly beautiful. I was
inspired to create a hair shade similar
to the Schwarzkopf Professional hair
colours. I named my creation the Light
of Galaxy, which is how I interpret
vibrant tones and when light shines
through the dark sky. The way I see it is
when we face obstacles in our lives, we
will eventually shine bright and succeed
if we hold on to our beliefs without fear.”
F: What went through your mind when
your name was announced for both
categories?
E: “It was a real surprise to me! This
was really a proud moment for me to
be showcasing that Malaysia has talent.
It didn’t even cross my mind that I
could beat the other talented and strong
contestants who presented so much
creativity and effort in their designs.”

TALKS TO HER ABOUT
HER BIG WIN.F: Having won these titles, are there
more goals that you've set for yourself?
E: “After winning the SABC champion-
ship, I will focus on working closely with
Schwarzkopf Professional to further
strengthen my skills to the next level.
By having a strong partnership with
the brand, it will ensure my personal
growth and development in the future.”F: What are some of the new hair-
colouring trends in Asia?
E: “The colour trends in Asia are rapidly
changing as it’s a way for people to
express their individuality. I think colour
clashing is a trend right now – think bold
colours such as powdery blue and pink
to express personal style. Colours such
as warm matte and cool browns will
still be in for the less daring.”F: What’s your hairstyling philosophy?
E: “My philosophy is that my work must
be linked to fashion. In short, I associate
hair colouring as a part of makeup
where it represents total beauty from
top to toe. My styling is bold and thus,
I will always make bold improvements
in simple hairstyles.”F: What’s the most challenging part
about your job?
E: “The biggest challenge is to continue
to innovate, be creative and apply new
ideas in my work while accepting high
degrees of changes.”F: What are you looking forward to
at the next SABC event in Tokyo, Japan?
E: “I look forward to seeing more
creativity and ideation of trends in my
own work. Not only that, I’m excited to
see more inspiring works from upcoming
hairdressers showcasing their talent.”EUNIECE'S WINNING HAIR DESIGN
