New Hairstyle

 How do you like my new hairstyle?? :)

Always got the urge to cut my hair short, but on the other hand, fearing that it won't suit my squarish cum round face :SS Even if the face suit, a good hair stylist is very important. If he/she is not professional enough, you will look even worse than before. And cut already, later see other girls with long hair, heart itchy regret again how??? If don't look feminine enough how?? So, I've been contemplating for the LONGESSSSSST time already!! 

Q: To cut or not??? 

ZZzzzzzZZZz -.-

Coincidentally, Salon Vim is having 30% off their hair treatment for members. And becos my previously hairstyle makes mi look like an octupus (too much layering, stupid hairdresser >:( )I decided to make an appt with them to have my hair fix (hair treatment + cut it short if possible). Honestly, I don't pamper my hair at all. The no. of hair treatment I did in my entire life is definitely countable with just one hand :/ Thus, my hair was in such a dying, drying & frizzy stage that I think I look like this all time :< 

Requested for Stephanie Yeo as my hair stylist. Told her I really wanted a short hair & seek her professionalism if my face shape suit. Surprisingly, she gave me the green light. You can imagine how elated I am (no doubt still having some doubts how it will turn out) :DDDDDDD 

TA- DAHZZZZZ!! 

My new look after 2 hours of Arimino Privy Treatment (which I personally feel is not really fantastic for the price paid) plus cut.

Arimino Privy Treatment: $128.4 before 30% off
Hair Cut: $53.50 before 15% off
(7% GST inclusive)

SO IN ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WITH MY NEW HAIRSTYLE!!!

PS: I've alrdy decided to cut it even shorter my next hair appt :P

Ohhh, not forgetting THANK YOU Jessica love for waiting & accompanying me that day. 

Promise not to upload your peektures, even though I'm tempted to!! 

Where got ugly lohs -.-

Saturday Date w/ SALON VIM, Kim Dae Mun Korean Food & Cold Stone Creamery

Resume back our tanning & jogging sessions on Saturday given the good weather. Need to tan off the tan-line on my shoulders else I’ll look hideous on brulee’ bro’s wedding since I alrdy plan to wear a toga. The tan-line is so unsightly for me to appear pretty infront of the camera lohs….*must look meimei also though I’m not the limelight on that day lahs :p* woman’s nature..heheheheh :DDDD

Hopefully with my last tan next sat, the tan-line will be less obvious :(

Prepared & headed for our Salon Vim appt with John at 4.45pm. All decked in Agneselle for a sunny Saturday. Also pictures of our previous hairstyle…..

So coincidence, Michelle whatsapp me after seeing my tweet that I’m heading to Salon Vim….& we were in the same train!!! So qiao lahs…LOL!! But this Mich very cute de, she was telling me as her usual salon was fully booked; she decided to try out Salon Vim after hearing all the WOWSSS reviews. Asked her which stylist she requested, she say she nv request -.- Then I tell her, “Scarly they assigned a director to TRIM ur hair”. She panicccccc…HAHAHAHAHA :p Luckily there is still a senior stylist - Katherine for her…whom I feel she did an awesome job to Mich’s bob hairstyle. She looks so chiiiiooo after the haircut, but too bad din mng to take any pics with her cos she was rushing to meet her friends. Apparently, her haircut process took a lil’ too long, 1 & 1/2hrs to trim her alrdy tidy bob -.- TOO DETAILED as quoted by Michelle. But worth the $$$ mahs :p

Back to my appt!! Salon Vim was quite pack that day & we only manage to sit in only arnd 5pm. Bought myself a pair of pastel yellow shorts from MANGO during this 15mins of waiting :SSSS Must buy de lahs… discounted from $49 to $29 lehs!!!!!!

Have been wanting to try Salon Vim’s services which I blog here. Fixed my appt 3 wks ago after checking all the rates. Shall summarise all the enquiries I’ve checked :)

Quote bloggers’ name: 10% off full hair services; meaning no discount for trimming of fringe, wash & blow etc….

Purchase Membership Card:
1) 15% off full hair services;
2) 20% on top of the 15% on ur birthday mth.
$53.50 ($50 credit + 7% gst which is non-refundable). You have to drop by Salon Vim at least 1 day before to purchase the membership card in order for u to utilize the $50 credits & at the same time enjoy the 15% discount on the day of ur appt. It seems that the card needs 1 day to activate.
There are 3 types of hairstylists at Salon Vim; i.e. Senior Stylist, Director Stylist & Director. John is Director Stylist. Their charges (not including 7% gst) as follows:-

Senior Stylist: $40 (man); $50 (woman)
Director Stylist: $50 (man); $60 (woman)
Director: $55 (man); $70 (woman)

Sat in & was welcomed with our choice of drinks & a packet of biscuit. It was only approx 15mins of “seat warming”, the very busy John then can attend to brulee & me:/ Introduced himself prior to understanding our “hair requirements” from him and also “analyzing” our hair texture.

Like what other hair-salons does, the first step is to wash our hair. Was led to a slightly dimmed “hair-washing” area by a female staff. Shampooed, followed by a 10mins head massage. After-which I was left there to wait for John while he trimmed & style brulee’s hair :X

Finally my turn after approx 45mins!! >< John mentioned that I’ve fine hair, not those coarse & thick types. Told him my main concern is my fringe which always appear flatten & shapeless after it grows thus I wanted a hairstyle with more volume.  John went through with me the different segments & procedures on how he is going to trim my hair. He also taught me how to blow my fringe to make it appear my “pong”.

Ta-dahhhh this is my final results. Looks as though I’ve perm my hair, in fact they are just curls created frm the blowing & curling brush. No courage to do permanent curls cos I’m afraid I’ll appear older than brulee :((( #ihaveaboyishlookingboyf & surprising my haircut process is shorter than Michelle’s O.o”

Overall experience from brulee: Not very satisfied of the result with the amount he paid for. Grumbling like some auntie until I angry. *ROARS* He finds that his final haircut makes him appear uglier without styling -.- But I explain to him think John cuts accordingly to his concerns just that bo bian, requires more styling. Thus, no photos of him after his haircut cos he refused to let mi tk :( now #ihaveamafanboyishlookingboyf. Blahhhhhhh…..

Overall experience from me: Slightly above satisfactory of my final outcome only. My hair just appears neater & shorter overall. Fringe still appears a little flat & keeps dropping, covering my eyes. Perhaps more blowing must be practice since I’ve specially bought the curling brush. Shall monitor my hair for another 2 more mths for the final outcome. If I still encounter the same probs, I guess it is just my hair/head issue; not the stylist.

No doubt $60 before the 15% discount is not very pricey for my hair length & in view that I only trim my hair every 5mths, I would probably still go for a cheaper hair-stylist given the same results.

PS: My current home-based hair-stylist located at AMK only charges me less than $20 for my hair cut & less than $200 for my haircut + treatment + trim. Been with her for >8yrs, so far my hair condition is still doing well. If not for the location, I will have visit her more often instead of every 5-6mths or even once a yr :(

But but but…..i’ll definitely visit Salon Vim again during my birthday mth. SO DAMN WORTH IT….MUWAHAHAHAHAHA :p

HAIR RESCUER NEEDED!! :((

I NEED A HAIR RESCUER FOR MY FLAT, LIMPY & LIFELESS HAIR :(((

All along i've shoulder to chest length hair. Never rebond or perm before. Fringe is either those short layered/china dolls fringe or side parting. 

psttt..when im young, i've centre parting :p in fact till now the parting is still there. PERMANENT liao!! So every morning without fail i've to wash & blow it specially to the side. 

my fringe is usually sweep to my right, which is also my current hairstyle now. then i started to get bored & afraid that the parting will be permanently, i decided to change my parting & have my fringe sweep left, which i DON'T SUIT AT ALL!!! ><

how i look when i've centre parting

short fringe days

my ugly fringe shuff left which i've trouble finding my perfect angle during photo-taking :S

love my fringe swept right the MOST. take photo also nicer :p

BUT prob is im so getting bored of my flat fringe & lifeless hair again :(( totally no volume at all!!! always tot of having curls, but scared look older than my age or my concerning, older than brulee :SSS 

I just wish more volume to my hair only or prolly help to transform a nicer hairstyle & become prettier~heheheheheheh :DDDD

Usually my hair cut ranges between 5-6mths once cos my hairstylist is at Ang Mo Kio!!! >< She is a home based hairstylist who does my hair color & cut. Price is very reasonable too. My hair cut is usually less than $20 & coloring for my hair length w/treatment at less than $150. But prob is so far...& I dun trust other hairstylist, so I always end up with ugly hair after a few months :((

However after seeing all the awesome reviews from Salon Vim (no doubt they are sponsored reviews from bloggers), I've the urge to go there like NOWWWW!!! My already very pretty friend, Jessica, only patronize Salon Vim & her hairstylist, John, always manage to make her even chiiiioooo-er & once even help to rescue her hopeless hair which she did at heatwave. BUTTTTTT....Salon Vim charge so high :( one haircut is like $65!! That's why till now I haven step in lahs..cos i dun usually spend a bomb on my hair. Brulee was like telling mi okay what...anyway I've my hair cut like few months once, so spread out also cheaper than his monthly hair cut at $30 per session. Somehow, I agree with him :)) Hence, I'm so gonna give Salon Vim a try pretty SOOOON & have my hair rescue by the trusty John. Jessica always tell me, "TRUST JOHN!!" LOL :DDD I shall pull brulee along with me..hehehehe :p

SALON VIM & JOHN.....PLS WAIT FOR MY BRULEE & MEEEEEE!!! :DDDD

Anyway, I'm curious where do you girls do ur hair?? Pls feel free to recommend me yay :)))
