Cha Hong

Kim Hyo-suk, better known by her stage name Cha Hong , is a South Korean celebrity hairdresser, and is the owner and founder of the CHAHONG ARDOR beauty salon chain in South Korea. Cha established her first hair salon back in August 2011, and currently owns a total of three salons and an academy. Cha made her debut television appearance via SBS's Star King in February 2011, and now features frequently as guests on various South Korean television shows, such as Channel M's Get It Beauty and MBC's My Little Television. Cha is renowned for the self-hair styling tips that she shares during her television appearances, and has since widened her media exposure through channels such as radio shows, blogs, social media websites and home shopping networks.

Cha and her salon chain provide hair and make-up services for events such as magazine shoots, and most recently at the Singapore Fashion Week held in May 2015. Apart from making regular media appearances, Cha also offers her services to her clientele including multiple South Korean celebrities, such as actresses Park Min-young and Kim Ah-joong.

After Cha left college, she felt that she did not have a particular dream or passion to realise. While her siblings performed better in studies and managed to attain scholarships to study in universities, Cha did not perform as well in school. She did have a knack for arts, particularly in drawing, but no art academy was located near her family's residence and even if there was one, she would not have attended it anyway as it would cost money. Cha contemplated suicide by the sea of Busan but eventually retracted her decision, stating that "the sea appeared so beautiful" that it made her return home. Her aunt then recommended her to become a hairdresser, for fear that she would otherwise do something terrible with her life. That suggestion marked a turning point in Cha's life as she grew to become one of the most renowned hairdressers in South Korea.

In 2013, Cha was invited to be one of the pageant judges for the year's Miss Korea. Before Han met Cha back in South Korea, he lived in England, where he studied and worked as a hair designer. Han was employed as a hairstylist at one of Aveda's salons in London, before moving to Weybridge where he served as a director under the Toni&Guy group. In a television broadcast, Cha admitted having initially made the first move to pursue her husband after growing a love interest in him. Her husband made his first public appearance alongside Cha in 2013, when the pair featured as guests on one of MBC's programs, 사람이다Q.

In October 2015, Cha announced that she was five months into pregnancy and would minimize her public appearances until the child was due.
