Having to be back to work a few days after 16 weeks of maternity leave, i am definitely in "need" of a new hairdo. ("Need" because it's too ego to type in "want" instead. Hehe)
Plus having to be with the babyboy & waking up extra early to get ready & sending him to the babysitter & the hot weather is making tying up hair mandatory & holding the portable fan is so neccessary & more & more & more.......
So that's when suddenly during last night dinner, i told the Haasband that i am just going to a salon (soon) & get it trimmed & rebonded! Just so i don't need so much effort in grooming the hair everyday & use the time to focus on other neccessary things.
I called up the nearest hair salon near my house called the Myeongdong Hair Studio. Said it's SGD 220 for a 3hr session of soft rebonding. I was 30 minutes late to their last slot for the rebonding. Too bad then~
I was thinking of convenience. Like wherever is a good to go, do & head home right after in a flash. Because.....of the baby. Then i remembered having a very cheap haircut before at Snip Avenue plus it's near my new workplace - Bugis.
DO NOT BE DECEIVE with all advertising pasted on any door or wall. Though it's a very much attractive promo but not until you ask "EXACTLY how much it cost to do YOUR HAIR?". That's when they'll say "Your one cannot do the $48 one. Your hair one is $138.80"
Reason being that $48 promo is for "virgin-hair", like those never-do-anything-to-the-hair-before. #rollingmyeyes
Nonetheless, i still did it at Snip Avenue because i feel that $138.80 is far most the cheapest for a salon. And i'm pretty sure all their hairstylists are professionals too despite their pricing. Of cause along the way the will be some "link selling", example like asking you to buy certain hair product or like Ivy (my hairstylist today) did asked me to come back for a Hair Treatment (which cost $58 if i recall correctly) after 1 month of this rebonding.
Due to past experiences whereby i've paid much more for such service but ending up not like how i want it to be, today i've personally told Ivy that i want it straight-straight-give-me-super-straight rebonding ok. Again she mentioned "Soft Rebonding". Well i replied her that i don't care what the term or name is but as long as i can see that my hair is flat & straight. Because previously i had to still use hairdryer or oftenly straightener to flatten it up especially after every shower.
Today took less than 3 hours & wow.....Ivy is good! i can even said she's a great hairstylist. Not only she gave me what i want but she wasn't hard-selling & even polite. Thumbs up, Ivy!
I'm already thinking of when i should come back for the Hair Treatment service Ivy was telling me about... Hhhhmmm...just before Hari Raya sounds good to me. Hehe...
Xoxo!
