This is a hair stylist in Nagano Japan who we did a photoshoot not too long ago with. The photo was post processed in Photoshop with a number of techniques to give this sort of Grunge or Vintage look. I don’t usually like a lot of stuff on the face so I purposely cleaned that area up a little and left the rest with vintage grunge.

Here are a couple of shots of Aily and Sasha sporting the Grunge Look. I used layered textures that I shot with my 105mm VR lens. I then did some various techniques using blend modes, curves, levels, and saturation to achieve the desired look. It probably took about 15 minutes per photo to do everything I needed to make this look. I thought they turned out pretty good.
