Hair stylist Ahn Eun-hye published her first essay, My Own Certificate, on March 25 through Midas Books. She picked up scissors at 17 and has spent the last 25 years behind the salon chair. The book traces the people and quiet moments she’s encountered through the touch of her hands.
A salon, she argues, is more than a place to trim hair. Ahn says the conversations that unfold in the chair and the tactile work of her hands allowed her to capture the warmth and comfort that grow out of human connection. What began as a desire to make someone look beautiful, she writes, eventually became her way of understanding people.
Rather than a flashy success story, the book follows the subtle textures of emotion woven into ordinary days. Through moments when she nearly hated herself and stretches of time when enduring felt like the only option, Ahn shows how to turn a kinder, more forgiving gaze toward oneself.
For readers trying to balance work and life or worried about losing themselves in routine, the book speaks in an unassuming voice. Its central message is simple: making it through the day is reason enough.
