Amp Up You Look With These Hair Salons

As I celebrate one of the biggest company events of the year, I decided to reinvent my look. Firstly, I let the stylist cut my shoulder-length hair into a bob cut. Then, he dyed it by mixing the colors of Ash Blonde and Light Brown. I was in awe of the results! Simply cutting your hair short may result freshen up your look and how you feel about yourself!

On that note, here are some of the best salons that can help you with your hair makeover.

#1: BE SALON

In the institution that I work for, we believe that each learner is an individual who learns in uniquely from his or her peers. The same can be said with Be Salon. Be Salon believes that everyone’s hair is different. When it comes to maintenance, there is no one-style-fits-all! Hence, the stylists at Be Salon customize your treatments to fit your personal lifestyle and hair nature. Their individualized approach enable them to recommend the most suitable hair colors for you.

What’s more? Be Salon has free specialized consultations that will enable you to ask as many questions as you want within a given time. Taking a leap of faith is not scary after all, especially when your decisions are backed by hair stylists. You will be able to choose a treatment based on the expert’s advice. Furthermore, the expert will give you advice on how to take care of your hair at home.

This salon’s haircut starts from S$49 and the hair color starts from S$119. With complimentary beverages, head massages, and blankets, Be Salon’s service will pamper you beyond what you expected.

#2: SALON VIM

Endorsed by some of the most popular influencers, it goes without saying that Salon Vim is renowned in Singapore. It is best known for its hair coloring results. You see, Salon Vim is a flagship store of L’Oreal. It introduces mythic hair treatments, using powerful Mythic oil to deeply nourish and protect hair color.

Much like Be Salon, Salon Vim’s hair stylists give you their expert opinion to renew you with the most suitable hairstyle. No matter what style or color you want, Salon Vim will turn your dreams into reality. Haircut starts from S$60 for men and S$80 for women. Hair coloring starts from S$105. While, hair strengthening and hair perming rangers from S$200-S$320.

#3: CHEZ VOUS HAIR SALON

A few months ago, I have tried the Keratin treatment. This treatment enables you to have soft and shiny hair while retaining its volume. However, the salon I went to did not perform very well. The effects of the treatment did not last for long.

Enter Chez Vous Hair Salon! There is a reason why Chez Vous Hair Salon’s Hair Botox (about S$375) was named the Best Hair Treatment for Damaged Hair by Her World, Shape, CLEO, and many other industry insiders. Hair botox is an extensive keratin treatment, which is customized to your hair type and hair condition. Furthermore, those who have tried this said that it has incredible lasting effects.

Another thing that you will be have about is its aesthetics. Chez Vous Hideaway is Instragrammable due to its pop-up museum decor. Moreover, you will get to enjoy the complimentary scalp fix at their Relaxation Lounge. This is only for customers who arrive early! The early bird truly catches the early worm.

6 Life-Changing Tips To Save Money At Beauty Salons

Despite the wrestling butterflies in your stomach, you visit a beauty salon with an anticipation of a wonderful makeover. Who can blame you for splurging in the beauty salon? You are there to improve your physical appearance, anyway. There are so many products and add-ons at your fingertips that you may just end up broke. A woman has to live a little, right?

Do not sacrifice quality for cheaper services! To help you maximize your funds, here are some money-saving tips:

#1: SKIP THE TREATMENT

I have to admit, I am a lucky gal! My recent trip to the hair salon included a free peppermint treatment. Conditioning treatments are crucial after coloring your hair. Furthermore, a peppermint treatment includes other benefits such as getting rid of dandruff.

Hair stylists will do anything and everything to promote their conditioning treatments. I have experienced different marketing tactics – one even went as far as telling me that I will soon become bald. If your hair is generally healthy, you may skip the salon treatment. Said treatments can boost your bill by S$10. Consider purchasing a hair treatment or a hair mask instead. You may get this S$19.90 hair expert and use it more than once.

#2: CHOOSE THE JUNIORS

When you enter a beauty salon (i.e., nail or hair), some receptionists may ask you whether you have a preferred staff or not. Clients usually go for a stylist that they trust. This is why salons enable booking in advance.

During your first visit, you may judge the staff through their price lists. Prices for junior and senior stylists are different. Stylists with less experience and educational background will get paid less. Are you willing to pay a fortune to get the senior stylist’s touch? For simple services, you may opt for the junior stylists instead.

#3: DO IT YOURSELF

Before having professionals dye my hair yesterday, I had it colored last August (2017). This means that I was carrying about 3 inches of black hair along with the rest of my brown hair. It was hilarious to look at! To look like a normal person again, I opted to dye my hair completely. Touching-up the roots alone can cost me about S$40! It is an insane price to pay for a minor flaw.

Touch-ups are better done at home. Aside from the convenience of not leaving your home, your pocket will thank you for it. Completing the service at home could cost you about S$4-15. This is a bargain price compared to having professionals do it.

#4: CUT THE UNNECESSARY

Spa and salon packages may sometimes include services that you would not normally reach for. While getting a foot massage is pleasant, you may simply opt for a pedicure. You are not getting much of a bargain if you are only there for the basic services.

Do you really need the standard packages or the a-la-carte options? If the standard packages do not suit your needs, explain your situation to the owner or the manager. Ask for discounts – if possible.

#5: RESEARCH THE CUT

Prior to booking an appointment, it is recommended to browse through your options. Do your research to have an idea of your desired outcome. Your cut must complement your face well. People with round-shaped faces can get a bold pixie cut.

While, people with square-shaped faces must keep their hair long with layers in order to highlight their face. Avoiding short hair styles is also a good idea. And for heart-shaped faces, a medium hair cut with uniform layers will look attractive.

#6: BE COMPLETELY HONEST

Whether you will visit a beauty salon for advise or a full-makeover, you need to determine your intentions. Be completely honest when you are there for “window-shopping” alone. Will you get the same level of attention you would have otherwise? If it is a busy day, probably not.

Honestly allows you to carry your pride despite walking out with nothing on your hands.

3 Hair Salon Mistakes That Will Cost You Money

My personal definition of relaxation includes a day at the hair salon. To most people, it is a place that stimulates mixed emotions. There is always a certain degree of excitement hinted with doubt about the final results. Will you be satisfied with the makeover?

Furthermore, there are plenty of mistakes that you can unknowingly make. These said mistakes may cost you more money (and emotions) that you actually expect!

Here are just some of them:

#1: BY NOT DISCLOSING YOUR HAIR HISTORY

I am one of those people who pamper themselves by dropping by the hair salon every now and then. I was committed to maintaining my “Ash Blonde” hair for a year. However, I decided to dye it black last February. I did not settle for a brownish hue. I dyed it purely Jet Black! It was one of the few hair decisions that I regret the most. Dyeing my hair black made it hard for succeeding colors to seep in.

After a few months, I decided to visit the nearby salon to lighten my hair. I told the stylist about my dilemma and he was not able to fix my faux pas. I was so disappointed as I paid more than S$50. I realized that the only way to reach my goal is to bleach my hair. I went to a salon in the city center and paid thrice the amount to revive my light hair. I disclosed my hair history starting from the treatments I had last year. Thankfully, the senior stylist brought life to my previously dull locks.

Much like disclosing your medical history to your physician, you must share a brief history of your hair to your stylist. A successful makeover depends on the stylist’s knowledge of your past treatments. Leaving some information can affect the formula that he or she will choose. You do not want to have an allergic reaction to the chemicals that the salon uses.

#2: BY KEEPING MUM THE ENTIRE TIME

There was a significant fraction of my life where I kept quiet in the chair and witnessed as the stylist ruins my hair. I tell him or her that I adore my new ‘do, but go home bursting into tears. I know that I am not alone!

There are two types of people: those who complain and those who settle. The later wants to avoid conflicts and prefer Smooth Interpersonal Relations (i.e., as Psychologists call it). These type of people would rather wear a hat the next day than confront the person about cutting several inches too short. This conflict avoidance may be destructive to your pocket.

The haircut or the style that you got from the stylist will be sported (and tolerated) for a period of time until it grows out. You can always correct it and pay double for the style that you wanted in the first place. So, encourage adjustments if necessary. Do not be afraid to speak up!

#3: BY FAILING TO BRING PICTURES

My frequent visits to the hair salon highlighted that the stylists reached my intended results better when I brought visual representations of the looks that I desired. There are limited ways to describe Selena Gomez’ bob cut. And even so, you may fall short with words. Carrying multiple photos of a distinct style will help the professional to create a blueprint for making it right for you. They can imagine whether a particular look will suit your face shape and physique.

There is no doubt that most stylists are visual learners. Thus, bringing pictures will dissolve the confusion that you may have from describing a color as golden brown or yellow blonde. Oh! Can you tell the difference?

You cannot walk in a prestigious hair salon and expect the stylist to perfect your desired look. At the end of the day, the skilled individuals can help you look good if you help them to do that too.
