Overall quite satisfied with new haircut

My shoulder length hair needs a trim after a couple of months now. Hair texture has natural wave so it does gets a little unmanageable at times, despite my morning routine to iron straight fringe and 2 sides to reduce volume and makes it more flat looking. I had been to J Salon on a few occasions. Totally agree that their prices a are a little on the high side in comparison with other good salons in Holland Village.

Having done a few quick checks on the Internet on Saturday, I decided to give J Salon a try again. Being a one stop beauty centre at new location at Grand Copthorne, I opted for 4 services today. My reviews are as below :
a) Facial service by Lancôme – Rehydrating Replenishing Treatment
Very basic, cleasing. squeeze some small pimples and facial mask. Not sure if the products used would bring out the effect of rehydrating.
b) Cellulite massage – Quite different from the usual body massage that I have done. Pinching techniques quite painful but bearable. Can see much effect after one treatment and is too costly if done weekly. Just doing out of curiosity.
c) Pedi + Mani – a total letdown in this area. Service standard quite primitive. Manicurist only uses a the standard square tub with hot water. Job was done quite hastily, not so thorough…like too short soaking time, cuticles not pushed pushed back before trimming, etc. Worse of all, she claimed that they do not use blower to dry nails…only quick dry top coat. I later gave my feedback that I dont likely nails to dry on the surface as I can’t risk it to smudge if I remove things from my handbag that she decided to use a hair dryer instead,but again this was done in a very unprofessional manner…swinging the hair dryer from left to right at a distance. I was so tempted to tell her to put the dryer in a fixed position at a good low height with cool air…but heck…this will least time I am using their pedi + mani services.I definite know of a good nail spa at Holland Village at less than I paid for.
d). Hair cut and rebonding – Stylist June is good at what she does. Hair was trim to collar length to reduce the heavy look. Overall quite satisfied with new haircut.
Total spent above $500 at Salon. Satisfaction level 2.5 stars.

J's Salon

この日の夕方、J’s サロンという美容室を予約しました。
『J’s Salon』名前だけはずーっと前から知っていました。
多分、ガイドブックとかに広告がでていて記憶に残っていたのだと思います。
今までは行ってみたいと思ったことがなかったんですが、この時は疲れがたまっていたのでリラックスしたいという気持ちがあって、頭のマッサージとかしてもらったら気持ちいいだろうななんて思っていたんです。
JCBを通して予約すると、アラカルトメニューは20%オフ又はJCBスペシャルメニューが受けられるというのでこれは利用しない手はないと思って、朝食の後にJCBに電話して予約しておきました。

スペシャルメニューは2種類ありました。
エクスクルーシブ・ヘアー・スパ・トリートメント(1時間) S$128(税別)
リラクゼーション・エナジー・ヘッド&ショルダー・マッサージ(50分) S$98(税別)

初めて行くサロンなのでこの日に予約したのは、リラグゼーション・エナジー・ヘッド&ショルダーマッサージです。

J’s サロンはグッドウッドパークホテルのサービスアパートメントにあります。
「場所がわかり難いので」というので、グッドウッドパークホテルのロビーまでサロンのかたが迎えに来てくれました。

施術は、(多分)シンガポーリアンの女性スタッフがしてくれました。
まず、シャンプーだったんですが日本と違うところは椅子に座ったまま行ったことです。
頭が泡だらけになっていく自分の姿を鏡で見ながら‥なかなか面白い経験でした。
流れてこないのが不思議ですよね。
最後に流すのはシャンプー台に移動しました。
そのあとがメインの「ヘッドマッサージ」になります。
kerastaseの商品を使ってというのが売りみたいです。
ミント系のさっぱりした感じのエッセンスのようなもので、気持ちよかったです。
そのあとは、ドライヤーで乾かして終わりになるのですが、きれいにブロウしてもらってサラサラに

そして、このサロンには日本人のスタイリストさんがいましたよ。(男性)
座ってすぐに、日本の雑誌(sweetだったかな?)がすっーと差し出されたんです。
日本人のお客さんが多いから日本の雑誌も用意してるのね、なんて思ってたら日本語で「どうぞ」って。
「何かあったら言って下さいね」とも言ってくれて、途中でも「大丈夫ですか?」って何度も見に来てくれました。
シンガ在住だったら、こういう方に髪を任せたら安心だなと思いました。

とっても気持ちよかったので、最終日の夕方にシャンプーしてもらうのもアリかも‥って思ったので、値段を聞いてみました。
私の髪の長さ(多分ロング料金)だと、シャンプー・ブロウ・セットでS$68だそうです。

New Hair Style!

Yeap! I changed my hairstyle again! And I really love it! It’s been a long long time since I cut my hair so short that I couldn’t tie it up. My head feel so light, really light.

I went to the J’s salon at Goodwood Park Hotel. My stylist has the most boring hairstylist’s hair ever. She’s a lady, in her late 40′s I guess. She look so common and normal that you wouldn’t think she’s a stylist. Anyway, when I told her I want neck length, I was actually refering to my shoulder-neck connection length, so there was a little miscomm, but it was a nice surprise! But I do have a little complaint and that is they are not initiated enough. I was trying to clear off those hair off my face and they did not offer me a tissue. Tsk Tsk Tsk. And, they openly display their seniority, like ordering those sidekicks here a little harsh, When I saw it, I was like, woah, so worked up for wat?

Watever, I like my hair, and I love the colour! Nice right?

some cool hair yo

i suggest that in the meantime no one visits j’s salon
i shall be recounting wad happened to me
i went to cut hair with mr zhiwei ong today and after making our ardous journey to j’s salon at goodwood park we saw the place being renovated therefore generating a response as such
WTF!!??!? WE WASTED OUR TIME!!!
but wait. after a whilewith my 1337 eyesight i noticed an obscure sign saying “J’s Salon. We have moved ————>” and following the arrow we discovered that the j’s rejuv and spa place was converted to a hair salon. we happily walked in but alas we discovered what was wrong soon enough. as we were not rich taitais doing rubbish with our hair us poor students were relegated to some window seat. usually this would have been good but wtf?!?? no mirrors!! aha. and the hairdresser was mighty distracted by the amazing scenery of the carpark outside so she just blindly attacked our hair. gg no chance
no worries tho. i shall save it with much wax+solid+gel+whatever else i can put in my hair
