Hair.... I mean those on your head la

My hair have always been long (past my shoulders) except for time when I was in primary 1, I had it cropped short and JcC year 1 with shoulder length hair as I was too lazy to tie it up every morning before school.

Have kept it layered and long and had played with the thoughts of chopping it off but frankly my face can't take short hair. It's too round and fleshy so it's better I junk the thought or risk looking like a full moon.

I do not have a fixed hair stylist as I hop around when I go for my hair cuts. From the more upmarket ones to the auntie hairdresser along void decks, I have tried (most) them all. My most memorable experience was when I won a voucher for a wash, haircut and style at Le Salon. Situated at the chi chi section of Taka, I was a lil intimidated of the salon. With a haircut starting from 90 and above, poor me dun have such dough to splash out.

I was assigned a senior hairstylist by the name of Marc whose is from HK. He was pretty friendly and does not have the air of a haughty senior hairstylist. His breezy conversations totally put me at ease.

Have to admit, one does pay for quality cuts and Marc did a darn good job with my hair. Even after half a year, my hair still stays in good shape. Luv it.

I have always sported a fringe since my uni years to hide my high forehead and usually the hairdressers that I frequent will just trim it and let all the excess fall over my eyes and face. But at Le Salon, I was given a 'tissue treament'.

What is a 'tissue treatment'?, I hear you ask. Basically, while I was having my fringe trimmed, the hair assistant (who shadows Marc as he does his work on my hair) will hold a tissue above my eyes to catch the 'fallen hair'. Gosh, I was like so taken aback with the treatment. I think my eyes were like goggling hahaha...

Was also given a nice cuppa coffee to drink but I only took a sip as I didn't want to move about too much and make things hard for Marc (please la, my crowning glory is at stake).

The head massage while I was having my head washed was also very nice and relaxing. Throughly enjoyed that and I give it 2 thumbs up! :)

Overall, the experience wasn't all too bad (considering it was my first time in such a upmarket hair salon) and will definitely love to go there again (when I have the dough).

Would have loved to have my hair dyed and highlighted too but I reckoned the bill will run up to a couple of hundred bucks and I will have a heart attack. Haha... I used to love having my hair take on a nice shade of brown but recently seem to have lost all interest in dyeing it. Am currently allowing the remaining colour (my last colouring job was done early last year) to grow out.

*looking at strawy ends of hair*... Don't get me started on that...
