Introducing my new hair sponsor - Matsui Hair Studio!

About 2 weeks ago, I headed for my very first hair appointment at Matsui Hair Studio (my new hair sponsor!). Thanks Zerika for the recommendation (:

Matsui Hair Studio is founded by director, Matsui Akiyoshi, who is trained both locally and in Japan to bring the "Tokyo-street" style onto clients in Singapore.

It is conveniently located at level 3 of Bugis+ (#03-15).

The hair studio is well-lit, with a simple and clean-cut look. It has a really nice warm, comfy and cosy atmosphere.

The specially designed outdoor theme is perfect for customers to relax in a different kind of environment while enjoying a cup of hot coffee/tea.

They also have a comics corner for customers who love to read comics. Fret not, they do have 'up-to-date' magazines too.

Just look at the terribly dry and frizzy condition of my hair especially the brittle hair-ends... it does need S.O.S.! My appointed hairstylist, Dickson told me that my hair-ends were pretty damaged. And so, trimming them was inevitable.

Anyway, I just let him decide on the hair color and style. He started off with cutting my long fringe into bangs, which was what I had in mind. Well, great minds think alike! I also briefly mentioned to him that I want to keep my hair long and my hair color cannot be too bright due to work... blahblahblah...

Fyi, Matsui Hair Studio uses products from Arimino - a high quality reputable brand from Tokyo, Japan.

Some parts of my hair were bleached before adding fun colors to them.

Ooo... I kinda like how my hair looked after bleaching. heh.

Customers can get the Caretrico Privy Home Care series to enjoy the quality treatment at home.

If you want moisturized hair with a silky finish, do get the Moist Sleek variant.

If you prefer volumized hair with an airy finish, you should get the Airy Bounce variant.

If you have coarse/unruly hair, the Slim Through variant will help to smoothen the hair to become easily manageable.

The after effects of using the salon-use Moist Sleek Shampoo and Treatment!

No doubt, I was very satisfied with how my hair looks and feels after the hair pampering session... soooooo much healthier and no more frizzy-looking hair! Simply love the color contrast and vibrant hues on my hair, especially the purple and pink peeking out from within ♥♥♥

Super duper loveeeeee!~ 

Here's a pic with my stylish-looking hairstylist, Dickson (: Many thanks for making my hair look soooooo good! Do look for him when you visit Matsui Hair Studio. He is super friendly and meticulous!

Receive tons of compliments on my new hair color/style! With my bangs and new hair color, I look at least 10 years younger :x 

Once again, thank you Matsui Hair Studio, Apple and Dickson!

My Fave Hair Color Combi ♥

Here's one last look at my previous dip dye hair color, which had faded beautifully from a dark indigo to a light chalky blue.

As for the base hair color, it was from a dark ash brown to a much lighter shade that I love so much.

After 2 months, I finally stepped into Shunji Matsuo 313 for a new hair color. While the base hair color remained the same, I wanted my dip dye part to be a lil' more colorful this time.

While bleaching my hair, my hair stylist, Chisato, advised me to let my hair "rest" for a couple of months before bleaching again. As my hair texture is considered fine, over-bleaching will actually damage my hair. Also, I am supposed to do hair mask daily. Hmm.. the lazy me did it once or twice a week :x

Anyway, I love how the colors turn out. It was exactly what I want! My choice of pink and purple, both my fave colors ♥

My light ash brown base hair color was lighter than the previous.

The pink and purple are much vibrant in real life!

My base hair color became more of a light golden brown 2 weeks later. The pink became more neon, while the purple was more ashy.

From far, my hair also looks good! Thick-skinned much :x

My hair color super niceeee right? Even more so after fading! Hesitate no more! Go find Chisato! She will take good care of your hair and give it a fabulous makeover :D

Here's the most recent photo of my lovely faded hair color (6 weeks later). Gonna head down to get a new hair color + hair trim soon. Dark hair color for a change? Most likely... (:

My New Hair Color... PINK-a-boo!

I haven't been doing much to my hair this year, as compared to last year. The last time I had my hair professionally colored was like 10 months ago... last year June!

2 days ago, I went for a last minute hair workshop at the new Goldwell (Kao) office. I was late... b'coz I mistook UE Square for United Square... Zzzzzz... blur me! The former is at Clemenceau Ave, whereas the latter is at Novena area.

The theme was "sweet" hair colors. What came to my mind immediately was... Japanese kawaii girls' soft and sweet kind of hair color... those we mostly see in Vivi, Popteens... I was more than happy when they actually mean "sweet" hair colors, which are inspired by confectionery... think macaroons in candy colors ♥

Getting the mid-section of my hair bleached...

Pinkify-ing my hair... ♥

The session took about 5 ½ hours. I wanted pink and purple, something like Xiaxue's... but not the whole head of coz (I can't carry off the look...)! Due to time constraint, the hair stylist can only do warm tones on my hair. Hence, no candy hues for me >.<" unless my hair color is as light as Jone's...

Regardless, he did a fantastic job! Thanks Zac! :D

I tweeted the above pics, which didn't tell much about my new awesome chio (pretty) hair. heh.

Thanks ah mei for helping me take pics :D

My hair crown is supposed to be the darkest (dark ruby red), gradually lighter at the hair ends. The pinks are "hidden" beneath the darker hair strands.

I love the neon pinks! :P

My new chio hair color ♥

Pink, you don't fade so fast okie? >.<"
