Before our trip to Bali, I scheduled an appointment with Justin from Kenjo Hair Salon because a good amount of my black roots were showing and I also wanted a new hair color for a change! I know that I can always count on Kenjo salon to make me feel pampered and deliver only the best each time I spend hours in the cosy salon!

Here’s a “Before” photo of my hair. Apart from the black roots, I would say that my hair was still in quite good shape? Must be due to the 3-step Mucota Scena+ hair treatment which I did earlier! Long hair is always very hard to manage. It takes an awfully long time to dry and gets entangled easily! But then again, I cant see myself with short hair at all. For ladies who share the same sentiments, do give one of the treatments at Kenjo salon a try!

I told Justin that I wanted to try a cooler ash color for a softer look and he recommended something along the lines of 7A. If we were to attempt a very light color like 9A, we would probably need some very serious bleaching! Even so, Justin advised that bleaching was still necessary for my case to achieve the ash effect and he assured me that Kenjo uses good quality products that would not harm customer’s tresses! This time, I was introduced to Davines hair color which is absolutely free of ammonia and is very gentle on the hair and sculpt!

It seems like bleaching and Olaplex go hand in hand because Olaplex rebuilds and strengthens the bonds in your hair, making it stronger and healthier! We all know all the effects of bleaching, so by incorporating Olaplex treatment during the bleaching process, it actually negates the damaging effects of hair bleaching!

After first round of bleaching, Justin decided that we should go for another round!

My hair is considerably bleached after two rounds of bleaching! I don’t think I would dare to walk out of the salon like this. Hahaha.

Oh did I mention how thrilled I was when Justin asked what crazy colors would I like to go with my ash hair?! I picked blue and violet because I can’t imagine myself with green, yellow or orange hair…yet!

I have always loved the hair washes at Kenjo because the temperate of the water is just right, and they provide long thick blankets! So hard to not fall asleep! 😛

After blow drying my hair, here’s a little sneak peak of the ash grey, violet and blue colors in my hair!

Mad love for my new hair! The effect was subtle and not over-the-top, and yet there was a slight wildness to it!

This photo was taken by my colleague the very next day. A pity that the curls were not permanent! Boohoo. Anyway, I was still very happy with my new hair colors!

Very blessed indeed to have Kenjo salon pamper me with only the best! I brought home these MELU shampoo and conditioner by Davines, which can help hair color last longer and is also a real treat for the hair! It has a mild minty smell and also has a slight cooling effect when applied to the tresses! I have been using it consistently for almost a month now and I have nothing but praises for these!

Kenjo Hair Salon: Mucota Scena+ Hair Treatment & Discount Code

Maintaining a healthy head of hair takes more than just regular shampooing and conditioning. Do you know that our hair becomes coarse, dry and brittle not only through daily wear and tear, but is further worsened by heat treatment, UV radiation and chemical treatment? It is important that we allow our hair to undergo treatment regularly in order to strengthen our hair, put back its moisture, as well as restore its natural balance.

I had the luxury of returning to Kenjo Hair Salon for the award-winning 3-step Mucota Scena+ hair treatment earlier this month before our Christmas photoshoot. As usual, I was promptly showed to my seat and then asked if I would like a drink. Biscuits were served along with orange juice! The hair assistant proceeded to give me a pampering hair wash and head massage which felt very invigorating.

Untitled

Before beginning the treatment proper, a special machine was used to spray distilled water all over my hair. The machine is powered by nano technology which allows tiny water molecules to penetrate the hair follicles more effectively for better absorption of the Mucota Scena+ later on.

Untitled

Using advances in material-sciences and biotechnology, Scena+ restores and protects hair by focusing on replacing important natural elements that make up the intercellular components in hair. Scena+ is a new exquisite treatment from Mucota that restores hair internally using ingredients found in hair itself.

Untitled

First step: Adel – Moisture Base Treatment

Adel contains a mixture of 4 kinds of ceramides, cholesterol and phytosphingosine that can be found in natural ceramide. It is applied to freshly shampooed hair and then rinsed off. This step creates ideal conditions for treatment by deep hydration and restoration of natural hair elements, making hair soft and hydrated.

Second step: Brava – Intensive Hair Repair

Brava contains 5 different hair repair elements to target different kinds of damage to hair. A net-like structure in hair is created that prevents essential elements from flowing out and improves texture at the same time.

Third step: Calore – Lustre Protect and Seal

Finally, Calore protects hair cuticle by restoring its hydrophobic surface. It prolongs treatment effects in hair via super lipidure; coating the outer cuticle with a 7-layered lamellar liquid crystal nano-structure and creating a pseudo-cuticle, keeping hair shiny, smooth and silky.

Heat is applied to ensure that the goodness of the treatment products get absorbed into my hair! I went for a final hair wash after about 15 minutes.

I felt like a different person as I stepped out of Kenjo salon. My hair was no longer dry and lifeless. Instead, it was so smooth, silky and bouncy that I could not resist touching my hair every now and then!

Kenjo Hair Salon has been running its Christmas promotion consisting of specially selected Mucota AIRE products which you can use in the comfort of your own home! Both packages even come with a free mini styling iron! Definitely something you would want to bring along for your overseas trips!

I would definitely recommend the Mucota Scena+ hair treatment as a regular treatment to pamper your tresses and what’s really awesome is that it takes only about an hour, so you can even consider popping by Kenjo salon during your lunch time!

Kenjo Korean Hair Salon Review & Discount Code!

Hello chewy friends! If you have been following me closely on Instagram and Facebook, you would know that I had a hair makeover a couple of weeks back! During my last trimester of pregnancy, my hair was in bad shape and not wanting to sit in a salon for hours with a humongous tummy, aching back and swollen feet, I randomly picked a hair dye off the shelves at NTUC and dyed my hair at home, hoping to cover up my black roots that had started to show. It was only a temporary measure because my previous hair colour was quite light, making the black roots very obvious, and I didn’t want to look awful for our family photoshoot that I had scheduled to take place after my delivery.

After my confinement, I was invited by Joseph Foo, Founder & Director of Kenjo Salon to try out their professional hair services. Kenjo Salon, located at the new wing of Plaza Singapura, is set against a sleek and modern ambience with a combination of local and Korean stylists. The salon has been around for about 2 years and keeps up-to-date by offering their valued customers numerous hair services such as Mucota colour, volume rebonding, omega oil therapy treatment perm and a whole lot more! When I walked into Kenjo Salon, I knew my hair would be in good hands!

IMG_9635

I was shown to my seat and was immediately offered something to drink. Kenjo Salon has their own drinks menu with a wide selection of hot and cold beverages! There is also complimentary Wi-Fi so customers need not worry about exceeding their data plan while keeping themselves occupied at the salon!

IMG_9612

Senior Stylist Justin Teo was assigned to take care of my hair. Obviously, DIY hair colouring was a very bad idea on my part! My hair looked like a total disaster! Although I had a hundred and one things I wished I could do to my hair, my top priority was getting a cut and colour. I didn’t know my hair was THAT long! How did I survive confinement with such long hair?!

IMG_9643

Before getting down to business, Justin and I had a pretty in-depth discussion as to how we should go about achieving the hair colour that I want. Initially, I wanted to try ash colours but Justin informed me that bleaching is required to achieve optimal results. Also, bleaching would cause my hair to become as dry as hay and the aftercare maintenance is not something I think I can afford to invest time and effort in at this point in time. Another push factor is that the colour would probably last only about 2 weeks max, which in my opinion, is not worth the agony of sitting through 10 hours in the salon. We finally settled for 10-FB as the base color and 10-PG as the highlights. I really appreciated that Justin took time to explain, which helped me make an informed decision about picking the final colours for my hair.

IMG_9614

As Justin snipped off a few inches of my hair, he could tell that I hadn’t trimmed my hair in a very long time. For a low maintenance mother, I had always thought that long hair is the way to go as I don’t have to keep visiting the salon to trim my hair. Justin taught me that it is important to blow dry my hair thoroughly especially the roots, while it is ok to leave the ends to dry on its own.

The colour for my highlights was applied first and Justin explained that the machine (in the middle photo) used has an ability to distribute heat evenly, thus enabling better colour absorption. Finally, the base colour was applied.

After more than 5 hours, we are done! Thank you Justin!

Stepped out of Kenjo Salon with smooth and silky hair!

Justin reminded me to use colour shampoo and try not to use hot water to wash my hair if possible. This is supposed to help hair colour last longer. I totally love how my new hair color looks under the sun!
