A Hairy affair

Paris B 3 Comments

I always say that finding a hairdresser is like finding a boyfriend/partner. When you find one that works for you, you do all you can to keep that relationship going, because that hairdresser – male or female – will make you look good every single time. And finding a good hairdresser that works for you, is about as hard as finding a life partner!

So, when you find one that works, the relationship is all roses and beautiful for a while. You let your hairdresser have free reign over your hair, you try out different hair colours and styles at his/her hands, you pay big bucks to keep the relationship going, and you feel great. However, human nature is such, that when the relationship has gone on for a while, you’ll get bored and feel the urge to stray and try something new. So, you cheat by going to another hairdresser.

When that other hairdresser botches up your hairstyle or colours your hair a wrong shade, you run crying back to your regular guy only to be admonished for doing such a foolish deed, and then he/she will rectify the damage for you and you gratefully hand over your credit card at the end, swearing that you’ll never stray again.

That was me.

I have a hairdresser I’ve been going to for a few years now. He understands my hair and (most of the time) I walk out of the salon feeling like a million bucks. He is based in USJ which is where I used to live, so going to him for haircuts were pretty convenient. But now I have moved 25km away and going to have my hair cut is starting to feel like a chore. What with the petrol, toll charges and haircut cost, I’m going to be spending a pretty penny every 2 months.

So, now the 7 year itch has struck me. I am now in the market for a good hairdresser in KL that I can go to without having to fill up my car with petrol and making my hair thing a whole day affair. I’m used to paying about RM65 for a haircut and wash, so anything in that price region is fine with me, as I’ll be saving on petrol and time.

Do you have a great hairdresser you’d like to share? I need to trim the jungle that’s trying to take over my head.

Presenting Women Stuff – Everything female

Paris B 15 Comments

Welcome! Welcome!

Those of you who recognise my moniker -will know I used to run a beauty blog at Champagne Tastes on a Beer Budget. It started out as a catch-all blog where I wrote about female stuff – fashion, beauty – that sort of thing. But then, I started doing product reviews, and suddenly, it turned into a skincare and makeup review blog. Not that I was unhappy about it – I loved doing reviews and I appreciated the comments left by readers who found my reviews helpful to them.

However, I felt that it was getting a little too limited over on Blogger, and with some funds sitting in paypal, I felt the dotcom itch. So, like many other blogger friends, I decided to go dot-com!

With going dotcom however, I couldn’t just limit myself to just doing product reviews. One day when I run out of things to review, I’ll have nothing more to talk about! 😀 So, this is going to be my blog about women stuff – a place where I can talk about fashion, things that catch my eye, beauty stuff, product reviews… you get the drift. I chose this theme for my new home because of the rose – every woman loves roses right?

So, everyone who linked me before  (A huge thank you hug goes out to each and everyone of you!) I will humbly ask that you update your link to this new site at www.mywomenstuff.com.  I will be migrating my old reviews over to this blog. Not all previous posts will be migrated though, just mostly the reviews.

I hope you enjoy your visit, and please bookmark me or add me to your blogroll/list and come by again soon, when the interior design team sets up the contents so there’s something more to read in here.
