Jollene Kuo in Westport

By JEN CHEN

A long time ago, I read an article in Glamour that said that anyone – anyone! – could get away with dying their hair blonde. According to the article, it was just a matter of matching the right shade to your skin tone. I was intrigued by the Asian model featured in the magazine; her hair was dyed a wheat-blonde color, and she looked fantastic. I kind of wanted to try something like that, but because I’m lazy when it comes to hair upkeep – I could barely maintain my caramel-colored highlights, back when I had ‘em – I never ventured down the blonde path.

Now, it’s not so unusual to see people of all ethnicities with blonde hair. Like Jollene Kuo, a 23-year-old who works at Matsu’s in Westport. I think she looks striking and beautiful with her pixieish blonde locks.
