At the age of seventeen, Kevin Woon moved to New York from his home town of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Initially, he used his penchant for hairstyling as a way of supplementing his college tuition with a part-time job as a hairstylists' assistant in Chinatown. After obtaining his license, Kevin Woon moved up to Oribe's salon on Fifth Avenue and began training there. Kevin Woon soon chose to bypass his college classes in order to devote all of his time to working as a first assistant to Oribe. In 1989, he began assisting Oribe on fashion shows in Milan, Paris, and New York, such as Dolce & Gabbana, Alberta Ferretti, Versace, John Paul Gaultier, Valentino, and Prada.

Kevin Woon insists that texture is the key to great hair and that style should depend on the individual, not necessarily current trends. Some of his most interesting creations have been loosely based on Star Wars characters or have involved hours worth of weaving extensions into the hair. Kevin Woon has since worked with a countless number of legendary photographers and has become a favorite among many new, up-and-coming, non-traditional photographers hoping to incorporate his innovations into their pictures.
