He's usually the one helping celebrities look red carpet ready.
But Joh Bailey suffered an unfortunate beauty blunder of his own on Wednesday night.
The Sydney-based hairdresser to the stars stepped out for the lavish Gold Dinner charity event with a noticeably mismatched fake tan, drawing unwanted attention for his patchy appearance.
Bailey, who is known for styling Princess Diana, Zara Phillips, Elle Macpherson, Kylie Minogue, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, looked otherwise dapper in a classic black tuxedo, compete with velvet jacket, crisp white shirt, and bowtie.
But all eyes were on his visibly bronzed face and starkly pale hands, creating a jarring contrast under the flashbulbs.
While posing on the media wall with a glamorous female companion in a strapless black down and furry clutch, Joh's hands appeared several shades lighter than his deeply tanned complexion.

Despite the tanning slip-up, Joh appeared in high spirits as he mingled with Sydney's social elites.
Bailey previously made headlines back in 2022 amid rumours of a three-way turf wall among celebrity hairstylists in Sydney's ritzy Double Bay.
The celebrities were out in force at the exclusive event, with Sunrise hosts Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington also in attendance.
The invite-only charity event dubbed Australia's answer to the Met Gala, raises funds for the Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation - and tickets cost an eye-watering $3500.
For the first time, the Gold Dinner has been held at the Royal Botanic Gardens' Parade Ground Lawn, set amongst Sydney's most iconic landmarks and framed by the vibrant light spectacle of Vivid Sydney.
With close proximity to Government House and iconic landmarks the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge - all being illuminated as part of the city's renowned festival of light - this year's event is themed 'Light Up a Child's Life'.
It offers guests a symbolic and immersive experience that ties directly to its cause as it aims to raise $80million - the most ambitious target to date.

For almost three decades, the Gold Dinner in Sydney has united Australia's leaders and captains of industry to support the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network through the SCHF.
Now expanded to Perth, and with plans to hold events in the USA and UK with Australian expats, the Gold Series is recognised as Australia's most prestigious philanthropic initiative.
Sydney's Gold Dinner has raised over $90 million since its inception in 1997, directly transforming the lives of sick kids and their families by funding life-saving treatments and care.
The Gold Dinner Committee is by Linda Penn and her son Joshua.
It includes an influential mix of business and philanthropic leaders.
