When I was growing up, my dad was cool, but never once did I think my dad was stylish. He grew up during a time when he thought that because he’s a man, he didn’t need to put effort into his looks. Thankfully those days are long gone, and now most dads have more than just a bar of soap that doubles as a shampoo and body wash. They’ve finally learned to indulge and pamper themselves.
This month’s issue is all about dads. Those strong role models that help us shape who we grow up to become deserve a bit of pampering too. Just because you’re a great dad doesn’t mean you need sport the dad-bod, or the “I don’t have time so I’ll just wear a hat” look.
And so for our November Beijing Baba issue we invited China Radio International contributor and father to a 4-year-old son, Patrick Flanary for a total style makeover.
Arriving at Tony Studio in Lido, Flanary was ready for a makeover that’s fit for a celebrity. Tony Studio is no stranger when it comes to celebrity makeovers. They’re one of China’s silver screen favorites for styling the country’s A-listers on a regular basis.
With 19 years of experience under his belt, Sam Yan from Tony Studio has been the go-to guy for men who are looking to capture (or sometimes recapture) the best of their youth. Flanary’s thick head of hair and no-fuss attitude is every stylist’s dream. Yan starts with a quick chat about Flanary’s preferences when it comes to his hair, ensuring that Flanary will be happy with the end result.
After a quick trim with special attention to specifics, Flanary was ready for the camera. Those wild, untamed morning bedhead locks got a major style makeover. Thinned out and softened, Flanary modeled the ‘after’ look.
A simple haircut can change a person’s whole image. Draped with a New and Lingwood dressing gown, Flanary looked effortlessly chic at East Beijing Hotel.
