Faye: I didn’t really have any expectations. I just feel like what the fans gave me last year was already more than enough. They’ve been waiting, wanting to see me act again. I did this for them. I didn’t expect anything in return. Today, seeing the fans here, seeing the tickets sold out… it takes away all the exhaustion. It’s heartwarming. I don’t know what I’ll get back from this, but I’ve given it everything I can.
Reporter: So you were willing to invest your own money because of the fans?
Faye: The fact that they’ve stayed with me for two years, even when I didn’t have any series at all… they’re still here, still supporting me. That alone is incredibly valuable, more than enough already.
Reporter: They’re the reason you came back?
Faye: Yes. They believed in me on the days I didn’t believe in myself. That’s why I gave everything to this project. I’m not competing with anyone. I’m just doing the best one person can do, just to create something for the fans to enjoy.
Reporter: It must have been exhausting to go through so many processes.
Faye: I’m very happy that I got to do this for the fans. Now that Episode 1 is out, I feel relieved… and I miss acting too. It’s tiring, but it’s a happy kind of tired.
Reporter: Now you’ve transitioned from an actress to a producer.
Faye: The responsibility is much greater than just acting. I have many roles at once, not just performing. Most of the support I receive comes from the fans, both emotionally and in every way.
Reporter: In this economy, this kind of investment must be heavy.
Faye: Yes, it’s quite heavy.
Reporter: How do you handle it? Does it affect you?
Faye: Before I do anything, I always ask myself, will this cause trouble for me? I used everything I have to make this series happen.
Reporter: So both your effort and your money?
Faye: Yes, financial resources are very important. Without them, even if you have the energy and passion, it wouldn’t be possible. This project didn’t receive any sponsorship at all. I gave it my all, and I trust the people around me. Every team, the production team, scriptwriters, director, and the fans, when everything comes together, it becomes a piece of work. Once in my life, I just want to give it my all since I have the chance to do this.
Reporter: So, are you satisfied now?
Faye: Yes, I’m satisfied. I’m happy.
Reporter: Fans are concerned and want you to earn from this.
Faye: The fans have always supported me.
Reporter: Some people are criticizing the pricing.
Faye: As an artist, I might not have explained everything clearly that day. If it were a fan meeting, it would be like a standard benefit. But this is exclusive, one-on-one, with the artist personally cutting your hair. There are normal prices too. Hair washing starts at around 600 baht, it’s not tens of thousands. The higher price is specifically for me, as it’s an artist-designed experience. Shampoo and other products are normal pricing. My shop uses organic, imported products, but they’re still accessible. Some people say 85,000 baht is very expensive, and maybe it is. But for those who book, they see value in us, and we see value in ourselves. It’s about satisfaction. For those who don’t understand, I’m not upset. Some people don’t understand what a fan meet is. They might think, “Why pay 85,000 just for a haircut?” I won’t let those comments bring me down. They simply don’t understand this side of it.
Reporter: Were you shocked by how intense the drama was?
Faye: If the comments are harsh, I don’t pay attention to them. The target customers are different groups. Most of my customers are fans. At Khanthong, there are many options. Professional stylists are available for regular services, washing, and blow-drying for 500–600 baht. Hair services at 3,000–4,000 baht are also available. Our pricing isn’t different from other salons.
Reporter: Would you like to promote your shop?
Faye: If people still don’t understand, then this is my explanation. Thank you for all the feedback. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to comment. I’ll take the good feedback and improve on the rest. And thank you to all the fans who continuously support me.
Reporter: Will you open more slots for hair appointments?
Faye: Fans have been asking for more slots, But right now, I don’t have the time, I’m busy filming the series.
