Your Say: What’s your guilty pleasure at the hair salon?

October 7, 2015 Paris B 40 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always, ALWAYS loved going to the hairdresser. I grew up with short hair (Mom had no patience, and I didn’t mind) and my Mom’s weekly treat was a wash and blow at the neighbourhood hair salon. We lived in a small town so we took our luxuries where we could, and little PB would get a free trim now and then. There was something just magical about sitting in the high chair, with a huge sheet around little me, watching the hair scissors snip away at my fringe. I felt like such a big girl!

So, I grew up thinking that going to the hair salon regularly was a normal thing to do… until I moved to the big city and had to pay for my own haircuts and treatments of course. Ooh ouch!

hair salon pleasures

We all know how hard it is to find a hairdresser and a hair salon that suits you. I’ve tried many over the years, looking for “The One” and if you’re fussy like I am, you’d know just how hard and stressful that is. At one time, I dreaded going for haircuts because I didn’t have a regular salon, and I’d always come out of each session feeling upset about the experience.

Happily, I’ve found The One and while I may entrust hair treatments and blowdrys to other salons, of repute or otherwise, I don’t allow anyone else to cut my hair. I did once, and while it wasn’t unpleasant, I knew I’d go back to my regular guy, the one to whom I can just sit in the chair and say “I need a haircut!” and he’d work his magic.

But today, it’s not about hair cuts or finding The One hairdresser. Instead, I wanted to know if you have any guilty pleasures when you go to a hair salon. Is it the plethora of glossy magazines to catch up on? Is it the tea and biscuits they serve you? Is it the “me time” that you get? What’s your favourite part about going to the hair salon? 😀

Giving my hair a Moisture Treatment treat with the Aveda Botanical Therapy for Hair and Scalp

September 13, 2014 Paris B 16 Comments

Other than nails, the other area of beauty I’m pretty low maintenance with is my hair. It behaves itself, it isn’t too unhealthy, it isn’t oily and I don’t have dandruff *touch wood* All in all, I’m that lucky girl to have good hair days most days of the week. I know you hate me now, sorry 😛

aveda botanical hair treatment

But you know, I wasn’t the only one who thought so. When I was invited by Aveda to try their Botanical Therapy for Hair and Scalp at the newly opened Aveda-exclusive salon Restyle+ at Nu Sentral (super convenient mall linked to public trains. And there’s a Sephora there too 😉 ) the stylist was at a bit of a loss as well as to what to do with my hair LOL! 😛

He pronounced a healthy scalp and healthy hair that was just a wee bit dry. He was surprised that I didn’t colour my hair (it’s been years and my hair’s all natural and yes, it’s brown) nor did I treat it in one way or another. I’ve been there and done that. I’m not going back till I turn grey 😛 In the end, we settled for a Moisture Treatment. I’ll just quickly tell you what to expect and if you’re looking for a natural option to all the chemicals you put on your hair and head, you might want to check out Aveda treatments.

Your say: Do you wash your face after going for a facial

August 19, 2014 Paris B 51 Comments

wash face after facial

Do you wash your face after going for a facial?

I was asked this very interesting question once, and I’d kept it at the back of my head ever since; curious about what the majority of people think.

I go for facials as often as I can but while I was more adventurous before in my relative youth, I am now much more cautious about choosing a facial salon, which will be a story for another day 😉 For now, I’m curious to know if you do or do not wash your face after going for a facial. And I’m sure you’re wondering what I think about this too 🙂

Salon Spy: La Mer The Custom Facial Intense Facial Treatment Experience – 75 minutes of sheer bliss!

August 15, 2014 Paris B 22 Comments

NOTE: This post has been updated as at October 2018 to reflect the current La Mer Spa facial locations. It remains my go-to facial place and has been since 2014 when the original post was written.

It’s been months since my last facial, which is quite a big deal for me, as I love my facials. I had a teaser experience at La Mer back in 2014 and I fell in love! Ever since then, I’d been a loyal customer of their Spa de La Mer.

la mer facial malaysia klcc

Here in Malaysia, the La Mer Spa Experience started out at Metrojaya Mid Valley Megamall, where you can make your appointment just to have a 75 minute facial, without having to buy the products. The counter at Metrojaya has since closed and today, the La Mer facial experience can be found at Robinson’s The Gardens, Parkson Pavilion KL and the first standalone La Mer store at Suria KLCC.

I’ve been going for La Mer facials since 2014 and they have been consistently impressive. Let me share with you what you may expect.
