A hair stylist has created the vomiting emoji on his client’s head, and it’s racking up thousands of likes on Instagram.
Melbourne-based hair artist Michael O’Halloran created the look after being inspired by another hair stylist, who mastered ’emoji hair’ a few years ago.
Michael has since been experimenting with painting emojis into hair, and recently he created the vomit emoji look, with rainbow-hair vomit.
He created the style on his friend Evan Fowler, who, while he doesn’t usually have his hair coloured, gets it shaved every couple of weeks – therefore he didn’t have to keep the style for very long.
Evan recently grew a mullet, and while he and Michael were taking photos of some wigs on models, they put ‘two and two together’ and decided that the mullet part of Evan’s hair would make a ‘beautiful 3-dimensional vomit like the emoji had eaten too many Skittles’.

The style features a yellow emoji painted onto Evan’s shaved head, with a frowning expression, vomiting onto rainbow hair.
Michael told Allure that he used a stencil to print the emoji and to make sure the placement of the head was in the right position, before using small nail brushes for the smaller details.
He said: ‘We had to pre-lighten the hair for an hour to get it nice and bright for the rainbow — I used both Manic Panic classic and Professional to achieve it.
‘Evan was very happy with the design and we’ve already planned the next emoji to go on his head.’
Michael shared the finished look onto his Instagram and it received more than 7,000 likes and loads of comments from people obsessed with the look, calling him ‘amazing’ and a ‘genius’.
He also posted a how-to video to show how he achieved the look.
Honestly, we’re not sure we’re brave enough to get an emoji inked onto our heads, but we commend Evan for totally committing to the process – and Michael for mastering it.
