Review of Just10 Group, Queensway Shopping Centre

I paid $18 for this deal -
Just10 Group Multi-location: L'Oreal Brand New 8-Step Detox Hair & Scalp Purifying Treatment Voucher value: S$280.00

Went down during lunch time today hoping to get a good wash and blow-dry. Walked in with permed curly hair (as you would know), the hairdresser was trying to get me to top-up for add-ons and/or packages which I kindly refused.

At the end of the treatment I walked out of the salon with STRAIGHT HAIR because of a bad "blowjob". I suppose the hairdresser was upset that I did not purchase any add-ons and/or packages hence she decided that she will blow-dry my permed hair to its straight original form BOO-HOO :(

Review for IAremyhair (60 min Customised Hair Treatment + Wash & Blow)

For curled hair like mine, any decent saloon would charge $30-40 for wash & blow. So when I saw this Groupon deal for hair treatment + wash & blow for only $18, I jumped the gun & bought the deal. Closer towards redemption date I googled the saloon. I felt silly when I discovered that IAremyhair specializes in hair loss treatments & hair replacement techniques.

I scheduled my hair appointment right before my casual photo-shoot so I could have my curls looking picture-perfect. Entered the saloon not knowing what to expect, would the hairdresser talk on & on about hair loss treatments? Would they be doing a scalp analysis for me? To my surprise, there wasn't any sales talk whatsoever, the hairdresser proceeded to shampoo my hair before applying the treatment solution & steaming my hair. After the wash & blow, my curls are restored to their awesome looking state, all ready for my photo-shoot!

In all honesty $18 for hair treatment + wash & blow is a real good deal!

Excellent conditioner for permed hair

When I was in Batam, 1 of my favourite activities is to roam down the shampoo section of the supermarkets. On one instance, I found this Sunsilk nourishing conditioner for bouncy curls! It only cost me round $3-4 (can't remember exactly). True to its promise, after shampoo & conditioning, my curls look very refreshed after every wash.

Unfortunately, this product is not available in local Watsons & beauty store Venus. Boohoo... Guess I can only restock the next time I am in Batam!

Perming my hair @ JasonSally  

Caring for curly wurly hair! 

Caring for curly wurly hair!

Right after perming, one is not supposed to wash his/her hair for at least 24hrs. This is to allow the chemicals to be better absorbed into the hair & hence a longer lasting perm! Immediately after I permed my hair, I was frantically looking around for a shampoo & conditioner specially catered for permed hair. As my hairdresser pointed out, the previous shampoo & conditioner I had used for smooth silky hair is too heavy for permed hair.

1 important step in caring for curled hair, other than the usual shampoo & condition has got to be the curling cream. When hair is semi-dry after shampoo, apply ample curl cream & twist the hair before allowing it to air dry. The curl cream not only sets the curls, it also gives hair the wet & bouncy effect.

Below are some products I use

1. L'Oreal Curl Contour shampoo
2. Beverly Hills Control taming conditioner
3. L'Oreal Curl Contour rinse-out hair mask
4. L'Oreal Total Repair shampoo
5. L'Oreal Total Repair conditioner
6. Merit Miracle Argan Curl Cream
7. Korean Curl Cream (bought from JasonSally)

Perming my hair @ JasonSally

My close girlfriends would have heard me contemplating a perm job for the longest time. After living with straight long hair for 25 years, just a few weeks shy of turning 26, I finally went ahead with perming my hair. The long delay was attributed to my concern of damaging my hair, with any sort of chemical treatment done to hair and/or scalp, you are essentially "forcing" your hair to behave in another manner. A manner which is not typical. Having done my research, a badly done perm will cause the hair to become dry. Imagine a head of maggie mee, oh god the horror!

After bugging Rachelle with my endless questions, I finally made an appointment at her saloon. To perm hair my length would require a good 5 - 6 hour, I went to the hair saloon armed with the fiance's trusty iPad & my butt bore the full brunt of the long long hours sitting on the chair. Thanks to Rachelle's sister, Sarah, the perm turned out to be fantastic! Also thanks to her wicked sense of humor which kept me entertained throughout the day, the long 5 - 6 hours passed by without much pain hahaha.

Honestly, I really do not foresee myself back with straight hair! The bouncy curls are so lovable. Much to my delight, my hair does not look dry or fried like it has just been struck by lightning (this is what a bad perm can do). In fact it is no different from when I had straight hair, except now those gorgeous curls are in place, the texture of my hair is still pretty much the same (my maggie mee concerns, phew!). When I had straight hair, I hated how flat it looks. Now with permed hair, I just love how luscious & voluminous my hair is! And I really love how professionals are so darn good at blow-drying hair. Having 2 hairdressers fussing over & blow-drying your hair, hard not to feel like a superstar hehe!

To make my day even better, I actually won 3rd prize from the shop's ongoing 32nd Anniversary sure win lucky dip, a revitalizing scalp / hydrating hair treatment + hair mask! Too awesome! With 2013 coming to an end, year 2014 is approaching in 28 days time, what better way to welcome the new year with a smashing new hairstyle? Quick, call & make your appointment now! :)
