Ultra Sonic Premium Iron Hair Treatment @ Number 76 Starhill Gallery

A few weeks ago, I blogged about my virgin trip to Number 76 salon. If you haven't yet, click here to read about it. 

So on that day itself, I received an email from Sue Ann (Manager Operations & Marketing of Number 76 Hair Salon) to visit Number 76 to experience one complimentary hair/scalp treatment at the Starhill Gallery branch in KL. * I literally just shouted with excitement upon reading the email! Sorry, i syiok sendiri je. lol. *  Thanks Sue Ann! 

I told J about it. Much to my surprise, J told me he would like to accompany me to the salon. And of course my first reaction was 'OMG you serious? It might take 1.5 hours and you are willing to do so?'  And he said yes, he just want to spend time with me. awww.. #BrowniePointsForYou  

** Just in case you are wondering, J is my boyfriend from Singapore. Yup, we are currently in a long short distance relationship (Malaysia-Singapore). Will blog about this one day. :) 

 Here at Number 76 to get my tresses fixed.

Here is yours truly after the hair treatment. My hair looks so much healthier after the hair treatment! 

Continue reading to find out what I did to get this head of silky and smooth hair. 

My dull, frizzy, unhealthy and dry hair before treatment.  

Sue Ann appointed Yves (Director at Number 76 Starhill Gallery branch) to be my stylist. After looking at my hair condition, Yves recommended me to go for the Ultra Sonic Premium Iron Hair Treatment.  

I started off with Tansan Head Spa. It is a simple scalp treatment that can be done over the basin within few minutes. Using a high-powered hose, a combination of water and soda gas (or carbon dioxide) is sprayed onto the scalp. It instantly removes all dirt and excessive oil from the scalp and hair pores and draws out silicon from the hair.

Mehhh.. this was the water scooped up after my Tansan Head Spa.   

I was then passed to Arthur for Ultra Sonic Premium Iron Hair Treatment. 

UltraSonic Premium Iron Hair Treatment is an upgraded version of Ultrasonic Iron Hair Treatment with improved formula and techniques. It is a treatment of cold care flat iron, with no heat involved. It vibrates at 37,000 beats per second; separating particle of protein, water and oil in hair treatment and also helps to penetrate the treatment cream deeply into hair. This process causes hair structure restoration and instant sealing of the hair cuticle which lessens product loss and promotes healthier, softer and smoother hair. 

First step: Apply treatment cream on my hair 

This is not an ordinary bottle. This bottle is filled with all the goodness.

Cold flat iron.

Die die also must touch and take picture to prove that it is not hot. :D  

Ultrasonic Hair Iron is a heat free iron. It uses vibration rather than heat to open up the cuticles to allow penetration of the product deep into the hair shaft. 

Next step: Taking individual hair strands and slowly pass the cold flat iron 5 times to penetrate the product into the hair fibre. During the ironing process, I can hear and feel the mild vibrating sound coming from the cold flat iron (cuz the iron vibrates at 37,000 beats per second mar, so of course can hear and feel the vibration..). 

Apply another treatment cream. 

Next: hair wash time!  

Arthur was showing me how he can easily run a fine-toothed comb through my hair without any tangles. 

Look at maaaa hairrr.. <3

Another round of cold ironing. 

Last step: Spray hair tonic on my scalp then massage my scalp before blow drying. 

Blow dry. The stylist even helped me style my hair. Thank you! 

Loved the end result of my hair! My hair is definitely smoother,healthier and more manageable! 

Silky smooth hair yo! and no tangles at all!! best-nya! 

I was in good hands and this man here did an amazing job with my hair. He 

 explained all the steps involved – what he was doing, why he was doing it and what the outcome would be. Basically, every step of the process was explained clearly. Thanks Arthur!

Arthur told me that Number76 value their customers. Yes for this, i couldn't agree more. They really give their customers VIP treatment and use quality products! And most of all, they do not hard sell hair products. Don't you hate it when people trying to hard sell you their products even though you do not need it at all.  

                                       Before                                                   After

After the treatment, my hair was insanely smooth and visibly silky. <3 You can immediately notice a drastic reduction in frizz and dryness!  The difference is really amazing! and I MEAN IT!  

oh-oh-tee-dee 

Loving this maxi so much! Prints and cut are so pretty! <3

Last but not least, thank you Number 76 for having me over! My hair has never been this wonderful and manageable! <3

Coconut House @ Jaya One

Sorry for the hiatus! I am back with a short blog post. This time it is all about food. :)

Last Saturday, I had my dinner at Coconut House with my family. It is an Italian restaurant, originated from Malacca then shifted to Pudu (closed) and now at Jaya One. And, it is a non-halal restaurant.  

*Sorry, only managed to capture a few pictures of the place (and all in low quality) cuz i forgot to bring my camera out. :( *

Bricks <3 

Look at the crowd! It was almost full when we arrived. 

Here comes the food:

 Roasted Pumpkin soup

Pumpkin soup was creamy and so velvety-smooth. And I am not a huge fan of overly sweet soups. So this was acceptable, not overly sweet. 

Garlic Bread

The garlic bread was good too with nice crispy edges and a soft, buttery center with garlic infusing every last bite. ahhh.. so good...

Carbonara

This was a major disappointment. Worst carbonara i have ever had in my life. Tasteless and oily.  

Pork Chop

Pork was overcooked and dry! And look at the presentation of the pork chop, oh well... 

 Sliced Pork with Rocket Pizza

I love this the most. Soft and chewy crust! And i prefer thin crust over thick crust. (:
 All of us got hooked on the first bite! This is great dish to share among friends. 

Overall, food was pretty average.  

Taste: 5/10

Ambience: 8/10

Service: 5/10

Keep Pressing On.

I NEED A JOB. I NEED A JOB. 

I am still unemployed three months after graduating. And i am constantly being nagged by relatives and parents to just get a job in Malaysia. At one time, i was on a verge of giving up, giving up looking for a job in Singapore. Told J about it and of course he advised me not to give up. And if given a choice, I would not want to go through another round of long distance relationship again. No one wants to be in a long distance relationship. This is the reason why i have been looking for a job in Singapore and not Malaysia. Apparently, Singapore has this quota system thingy that regulates the ratio of foreigner and local workers in the workplace. This makes it even harder for me to get a job in Singapore. :( 

"So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discourage and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time. "  (Galations 6:9)

It is ok Eleena. Just keep pressing on and God will provide. I know God has something great in store for me and I just need to continue to trust in Him. If He is making me wait, there is a very good reason for it. And I just need to wait on God's timing. God's timing is perfect and ours is often flawed. 

For many of us, everyday seems like a roller coaster ride full of ups and downs. So remember to keep pressing in His strength. Do not give up the fight and you will see what God has in store for you. 

                                                                 With love,
                                                                   Eleena

My fresh new look with Number76 (Publika outlet)

This is not a sponsored post.

Tada! New look! Those following me on Instagram (@eleenana_song) and friends on Facebook should have seen this yesterday! 

After much deliberation, i decided to get bangs. Been wanting to get it for years, but never really had the guts to do it! You know la, there is no turning back for bangs. Once you have your bangs cut off, that's it.   And before deciding on getting bangs, i have always wanted to try Number 76 after all that hype! FYI, I came to know about Number 76 after reading Cheesie's and Fourfeetnine's blog. 

So last Saturday, i made a reservation online via their website (http://www.number76.com/booking.aspx?ac=3). You get to select the branch ( either Mid Valley, Bangsar, Starhill or Publika) and hair stylist of your choice. Me chose Publika and Hikki-san. :) 

Yesterday, I finally made a trip down to Number 76 at Publika! To be honest, before this i was quite gan jiong (nervous) la. Keep telling my sister 'i very gan jiong le' and she was like 'aiyo u gan jiong for what. just a hair salon only mar'. i dunno why but hair salons always make me really nervous and anxious because i don't know what to expect at all.  And one question, do u guys usually open or close your eyes when u get ur hair washed at the basin?

A closer view 

A cup of green tea and biscuit

As soon as i sat down, i was being served a cup of green tea and biscuit as well as a magazine. My hairstylist for the day was Hikki-san, Director of Number 76. Told Hikki-san what i wanted then she worked her magic. Snip snip snip and tadah---BANGS! 

Hikki-san cutting my hair. love her beanie! 

Next on, hair loss is a common problem with men and women across the world and i am one of them. I know i needed a treatment for my scalp to battle the problem and also to treat it before it is too late. And i have heard good reviews about the scalp treatment from Number 76.  So girls, if you are facing hair loss problem, it is better to get it treated before it starts to worsen (i.e. bald patches).  A clean scalp equals to healthy hair. :) 

So we started off with a scan analysis using a mobile scalp scanner and an Ipad. 

 Scan check by another hair stylist to examine the conditions closely.

From the Ipad, the scalp scanner showed that my scalp looking slightly sensitive (with red bumps), slightly oily and clogged scalp. I was recommended by her to try Kerastase Scalp Peeling Treatment and also Tansan Sparkling Scalp Wash for a better effect and to clean my scalp thoroughly.   

She started off by applying the Kerastase Peeling Purifiant and then gently massaging it into my scalp.  It was left on for about 15 minutes before my hair was washed with some Kerastase shampoo (forgot the name of it) before proceeding the the higly-raved Tansan Sparkling Scalp Wash (will talk about this later). 

While waiting for the Kerastase Peeling Purifiant to sit in. 

My sis while waiting for me.  Spot that little cutie boy over there. hehe. 

Kerastase Scalp Tonic

After the Tansan Sparkling Scalp Wash, more Kerastase products including the scalp tonic were massaged into my scalp and hair before blowing dry.  

Could feel the difference before and after scalp treatment - a cleaner and fresher scalp! You should try it too! 

ok, next on.  What is Tansan Sparkling Scalp Wash a.k.a Tansan Spa? 

It is a simple scalp treatment that can be done over the basin within few minutes. Using a high-powered hose, a combination of water and soda gas (or carbon dioxide) is sprayed onto the scalp. It instantly removes all dirt and excessive oil from the scalp and hair pores and draws out silicon from the hair. FYI, normal shampoo can't remove all these impurities. 

 Look at this! but mine was quite clean heh. 

Here is a summary of what i did at Number 76:

1) Cut

2) Kerastase Peeling Purifiant treatment

3) Tansan Sparkling Scalp Wash

with Hikki-san.

Overall, I am pretty pleased with the service and satisfied with the hair cut and the new look. Thank you Hikki-san and also other hair stylists! Last but not least, I like the fact that they are very professional and they don't hardsell you the most expensive hair treatment(i know some hair salons still do that).  Will definitely come back again! 

And guess what, upon payment, i received a bag of freebie, rm20 voucher and a membership card. Not only that, Hikki-san even gave my sis 3-day trial set shampoo and daily serum. THANKS HIKKI-SAN AND NUMBER 76. <3 (As shown from picture below)
