When I look at colors like in a painting, I think automatically, can I put that on a head?

My name is Daniel Moon, and I'm a hair colorist.

I first started getting into hair when I was in the Marine Corps.

I was granted permission to exit the Marine Corps to go to hair school.

Being so restricted in the military, I think getting out of it, there were no limits.

Restriction was enforced on me, so when it came to creating, I had a vow that I'd never restrict myself from doing something that I felt like I wanted to and somehow came up with this magic way of coloring hair.

So freehand hair coloring is looking at the head as a canvas.

Whether it's short hair or long hair, being able to just paint on it as if it was a sculpture.

I look to the art world; I look to the magazine world; I look in books; I look where people don't think about looking.

When I'm choosing colors and designs I imagine like a checkerboard.

Top, bottom, left, right, and then just playing with those different kind of shapes.

I don't think about being different from other hair stylists.

I create work that is different for me; it's different from my last piece.

I think people dye their hair to have fun-to create a persona that's fun to live in.

Did some big color changes and had some great collaborations with Madonna, Katy Perry, Nicole Richie, and Zoe Kravitz.

The work that I create is temporary, and that is a romantic thing.

Because it fades away, hair grows out, I can spend three hours, six hours on a piece, and then it could walk out the door, and then it's never seen again.

I like that it's an art form that washes away.

I'd like to just continue on creating and just making something that I've never seen before.
