My Favourite Things: Guy Tang, Celebrity Colourist

If you've ever dreamed of having pastel-coloured or "unicorn" hair, then you're probably familiar with Guy Tang, the hair stylist turned YouTube and Instagram star. Changing the hair game with his original techniques to create uniquely bold-hued hair, Guy has amassed over 2 million followers on Instagram alone. On his recent trip to Hong Kong, we had the chance to speak with him about some of his favourite things.

1. Mariah Carey

"My favourite artist is Mariah Carey because I love that she writes most of her music. The song Hero resonates with me because it empowers me to believe in myself and find the hero within. A lot of her music is very emotionally-driven, and when she sings, she sings with so much passion. I think Mariah Carey is probably someone I stalk every day on Instagram and Facebook."

2. Mimi

"I named my dog after Mariah; her name is Mimi. I’m obsessed with my dog. When I go home, I just like to cuddle with her, squeeze her and play with her. I feel like dogs are more loyal than humans sometimes."

3. Every hair colour

"I don’t really have a favourite hair colour, because I love every hair colour. I think that when you have more [colours] to play with, you can do anything. Hair colour is a form of expression and everybody is their own unique individual."

4. M&Ms, brownies and anything fudgy

"It's my guilty pleasure. I love M&Ms and I love candy, chocolate, ice cream, and brownies. I am obsessed with brownies—I love anything hot and fudgy with vanilla ice cream on top. Once I eat it, I can’t stop."

5. Hong Kong—and egg tarts

"My favourite travel spot is Hong Kong because I’m having such a great time. The food is great, the people are great and I just love the culture here. Right now, my favourite food in Hong Kong is egg tarts. I love dim sum, and I could just eat these all day long. They taste so good."
