Kuro Neko: How and when did KIN start?
Kin Keiko: I started making hair when I was on an older account about 2 years ago and sold some hair styles at a friends shop. I kept with the hair business and I made a new account a couple months later on to start new and try to make a better business.
Kuro Neko: How hard did you find making hair at first, and how many attempts did you make to get a sellable hair piece?
Kin Keiko: Hair was difficult at first but once I figured out all the ways of making it, I started selling 3 hair styles on Kin and I was getting a couple buys for them once a week or a couple times a week and it just progressed. I had more buys and then I made more hair, people seemed to really be happy with it.
Kuro Neko: What was your first ever publicly released hair style, and how popular was it.
Kin Keiko: The first hair styles I made was the Kinny Hair Buns and I started selling the hair on SLExchange and also on some land I had. It seemed to be going well.
Kuro Neko: Do you find it hard to come up with new deisgns to attract the attention of customers since there are so many hair shops around nowadays?
Kin Keiko: It is kinda hard because there are alot of good hair styles that people have made and some that I wanted to try out. I come up with most of my hair designs on my own and I dont like to make something similar like someone else.
Kuro Neko: Is hair the only thing you like to make or have you thought about branching out into the world of skin or clothes?
Kin Keiko: Hair is the only thing I make, but I have made some clothing and furniture. I also like to try to make skins.
Kuro Neko: Where do you get your inspiration?
Kin Keiko: I get inspiration from anime, or any type of fantasy things. It usually just comes to me when I start with a prim on my head and I just see how it will turn out.
Kuro Neko: Have you ever attempted to copy one of your popular styles to your real life hair?
Kin Keiko: No, I havent tried doing my hair like some of my styles. But, I’ve seen some people do there hair like my styles in real life or drawings of there avatars with my hair.
Kuro Neko: Do you often get periods of designers block or do you always have lots of ideas to keep you going?
Kin Keiko: Yes I usually get designers block a lot, when I’m not happy I usually can’t work and it’s hard for me to do many hair styles at a time.
Kuro Neko: What is your favourite all time hair style of yours?
Kin Keiko: I like the hair style Ducan, I just like how it fits the face and its messy and cute.
Kuro Neko: Did you attend the Hair Fair, and if so, tell me about it.
Kin Keiko: Yes, I attended Hair Fair. I thought it was a good idea to have and it was fun just a bit laggy.
