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?

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)
