A Spotlight in Korea’s “SINGLES”
The “Ion Star Brush PRO” takes center stage in the January 2026 issue of SINGLES, released in December 2025. SINGLES is a powerhouse in Korean fashion and beauty, celebrated for its insightful content and boasting over 2 million followers on Instagram. Dedicated to individuals who invest in themselves and embrace life with confidence, the magazine not only delivers the latest trends but also offers advice on career and self-development.
This issue, graced by actress Kim Hye-yoon, star of the hit drama Lovely Runner, features HAIRSTAR in its exclusive “SINGLES FOCUS” section, titled “All-Around Hair Brilliance.” The article highlights the brush’s ability to tame static, smooth hair texture, and impart a damage-free luster—qualities that top hair artists recognize as fundamental to achieving stylistic perfection.
Korean Top Artists Speak Out
Eight of Korea’s most renowned hair artists, who work with top K-pop idols and celebrities, have collectively endorsed the “Ion Star Brush PRO.” Their professional insights reveal a shared appreciation for its practical benefits and transformative effects.
“As a specialist in hippie perms, I prioritize the natural flow and texture of curls, so I highly value that this brush causes minimal damage even with thorough brushing,” shared Sungje, director of Cheongdam-dong’s “청담동섹시가위” salon. “It’s a practical brush that allows me to style hair without worrying about damage.”
Bomi, director of Pretty Salon and a prominent extension specialist, added, “For hair extensions, maintenance is key to longevity, making the brush the most crucial tool. The HAIRSTAR brush helps maintain extensions, and its sophisticated design is also appealing.”
Grace, a K-salon brand owner with a global reach, emphasized its universal appeal: “This product possesses a quality that can be effective for damaged hair clients worldwide, not just in Korea and Japan, but also by global standards.”
These expert opinions underscore the brush’s versatility and effectiveness across diverse hair types and styling needs. For more from these artists, explore their Instagram accounts:
