As a group of images comprised of fiery hues splashed across tresses and eyes, with colour prints, intricate braids, sharp cuts and bold textures as features, Krystle Tokunai’s collection, titled The Protagonist, shares an artful approach to editorial hair.
The collection won the title of QLD Hairdresser of the Year at the 2024 Australian Hair Industry Awards (Creative) on July 1, and was nominated in the categories of Master Colourist of the Year and Salon Team of the Year, as well.
“The Protagonist is not merely a guardian but a formidable adversary,” Krystle explained online. “Its attacks are a manifestation of the main character’s dynamic spirit, raging from surges of motivational inspiration to tempests of unwavering focus. Facing this boss requires not only strategic prowess but an unwavering belief in one’s own capabilities.”
Luxury fashion staples complement the bold makeup and considered hair art, with Krystle and the Tokunai Hair team including Lauren Jane, Grace, Felicity and Carly creating the looks and photography by Georgia Wallace.
