ESSENSUALS Hairdressing, Evolution Toni&Guy

There’s a new hair saloon in town, Essensuals Hairdressing. Essensuals Hairdressing is an evolution of Toni&Guy. It is located in Precinct 88, Jalan Song commercial centre. One corner is Starbucks, the other corner end is Essensuals.

The Official Opening Ceremony for Essensuals will be on September 9th, 2009 [09-09-09]. It will be on a Wednesday evening, 6pm. Do drop by after work and check out the new place.

As Essensual as the name, it does give a feel of professionalism in hair styling, what more to say a franchise of Toni&Guy! Thankfully, I had the chance to get a pre-opening haircut.

I like the interior and the ambiance feels Europeanish and quite vinty. Plus, there’s a chandelier in the middle of it! So, do look up for it when you’re there. It’s a pretty chandelier.

Oh, the walls are painted in purple. Do you know that purple is a royal color in the ancient time? The color truly matches the theme. And also, purple is an inspiration color which stimulates the mind of an artist.

Apart from hair services, they do sell products for hair maintenance.

Imagine my parents name me Anna Wella instead of Anna Bella. Hahaha.. That’d be cool.

We were introduced with the friendly staff and brought to our seats. While waiting for the stylist to attend us, we were treated with drinks and magazines. But, I prefer camwhoring myself. Hakhakhak..

Camwhored a bit before getting my haircut. *kacheek kacheek*

While camwhoring, I had to decide what type of hairstyle to get. Well, I intend to keep my hair long, so maybe just get a trim.

I used to have bob hairstyle. After sometime, I decided to have long hair again. So, from time to time, I’d go to a saloon (several places) and get my hair trimmed. Sometimes, when my fringe is going below my eyes, I’d trim them a bit by myself (almost all the time, end up in a saloon to repair that nasty haircut of mine). The prob with this “personalised” hairstyle of mine, is that, my hair ends tend to curl. Simply because they are just sitting on my shoulders. Even when I “shape” them using the hairdryer to curl inwards, they will still curl outward after sometime.

Before going for a hair wash, the stylist will check and analyse our scalp and asks us few questions about it. Like if scalp is oily, lose a lot of hair or not and etc.

The hair wash is really enjoyable. As Albert washes my hair, he also massages my head. It was so relaxing. See that ESSENSUALS face of mine?

After the hair wash, I’m back to my seat in a turban. Hahahaha.. Camwhored again while waiting for the stylist.

I was attended by Chien, one of Essensuals’ stylist. He was also Yien and Tim‘s stylist. Here goes the journey of my haircut:

And voila.. My new hairstyle. I looked so different now. 

Previously, my hair was covering most of my face.

As promised, Chien gave my hair a new volume and it’s easier to manage! Plus, when I shake my head, my hair moves swiftly~

I highly recommend Stylist Chien. He’s really a pro. He knows what he is doing and what he is dealing with. He understands and meets the need of his clients.

Once seated, he’ll ask you questions regarding your hair, like which part of your hair which you have trouble with, any part which you don’t like, where is more difficult to handle and etc.. Once he understand the condition of your hair, he’ll then explain the reasons, ways of managing and before snipping your hair away, he even explained before hand how he will do it and how it’ll affect your hair and etc. He even taught me the way to blow my hair so it won’t curl the opposite way. *thumbs up*

Of course, I was not there alone. Went with Ahlost and Tim for our cut on that day. JF, Edwin and his sister were there as well.
