SUZY Layer PERM and New Hair Colour by Kenjo Salon on 3 Nov 2016

I had long straight hair for the longest time so when my hairstylist, Soo Bin, from Kenjo Salon mentioned that she would like to give me a Korean hair perm this time round, I was a bit worried as I was very used to fuss free straight hair and the last time I permed my hair was more than 6 years ago.  But Soo Bin reassured me that the perm she would be creating is the latest trend in Korea now and she calls it the SUZY Layer PERM which is popularised by Miss A from Korean Group.  It is also fuss free.  Being game for a change of hairstyle, I agreed to go ahead since I was also tired of my current hairstyle too.

One last look before my straight hair was changed to curls.

For this perm, Soo Bin added more layers to my hair.  As curls look better on coloured hair than on black hair, Soo Bin decided to give my hair a change of colour from black to ash brown.  Again, if I can remember correctly, I didn’t colour my hair for at least 10 years so it was gonna be a huge change for me.

Couldn’t wait to see how the colour will turn out to be like on my hair.

I love this hair colour!

Next up, Soo Bin proceeded to curl my hair using the rollers and connecting the rollers to a heat source.  

After certain timing, the rollers were removed and the top part of my hair was straightened using a flat iron.  After this step, a neutralising solution was applied to the hair to set the curls first before it was rinsed off.

After which the neutralising solution was washed off and my hair was shampooed and conditioned before it was blown dried.

Take a look at the curls!  I am loving this!  It has been a long time since I sported curls and it is a refreshing change for me, especially with the new hair colour.

Makeup and Hairstyling Services at Kenjo Salon on 23 Oct 2016

I can always count on Kenjo Salon to style my hair beautifully whenever I have major events to attend.  When I texted Joseph, the owner of Kenjo Salon, that I will be attending Mrs Singapore QOS Worldwide International 2016 Grand Finale as one of the judges and asked him if I could drop by on 23 Oct around 1pm to do my hairstyling, he immediately said ok to me.

On top of that, he mentioned that Kenjo Salon has started offering makeup services to clients and invited me to try out the makeup services that day too.

Some of the photos which I had taken were without makeup.  Please pardon my pale face.  Hope it is not too scary for anyone.

Washing the hair before styling

 Look at how my beautiful personal hairstylist Soo Bin skillfully used two hairdryers to dry my hair faster.

This requires a lot of skills to handle two hairdryers

Once my hair was dried, Soo Bin proceeded to curl my hair using a flat iron.

After my hair was curled, Soo Bin did backcombing to give my hair some volume before she proceeded to pin my hair to the style which she has designed for me.

We were almost done.  Want to see how the final hairstyle looks like?  Continue to read my blog post then. ;)

 After the hairstyling, I proceeded to the makeup room to get my makeup done.

The makeup artiste did contouring for me so that my features will be more prominent.

Don't laugh at me... the makeup is not finished yet

After the makeup artiste finished contouring my nose, she proceeded to contour my cheekbones.

See how my cheekbone popped out

The makeup artiste applied false eyelashes so that my eyes will look more defined.

 Once my eye makeup was done, she proceeded to apply lipstick for me.

Love the lipstick colour

She went on to apply a pop of colour on my cheeks to make me look radiant and healthy.

I think every girl needs blusher to give the cheeks some dimension

I told Soo Bin to decide on the hairstyle for me as I didn't have any inspiration that day and I trust that she would do a wonderful job.

 We always love to take photos together after hair services.

Sponsored Hairstyling Session at Kenjo Salon on 3 Nov 2015

I am indeed lucky to have Kenjo Salon to be my official hair salon sponsor which will take care of my hair needs from now on.

Kenjo Salon is located at 68 Orchard Road, #04-72, Plaza Singapura (New Wing).  I like the fact that it is so conveniently accessible via the Doby Ghaut MRT station where it acts as the interchange for all the MRT lines.  For those who drive, you can either choose to park at Plaza Singapura or The Atrium.  So to visit the salon, it is so easy.

When I stepped into Kenjo salon, I was greeted with a sleek and modern ambience.  The colour theme is mostly creamy white and gives the salon a spacious and comfortable feel.

Kenjo salon houses a team of professional local and Korean stylists with many years of experience under their belts hence I know that my hair is in safe hands.

As I had an important event to attend on 3 November 2015, Kenjo salon assigned Soo Bin, Master Hair Designer, to design a suitable hairstyle.  She is a Korean hairstylist and one of the pioneers in Korean hair Volume Rebonding which was first published in the 2012 edition of Female magazine.  She has worked in Korea and Singapore, accumulating more than 15 years in experience.

Soo Bin discussed with me on what hairstyle I like and the possibility of certain hairstyles before she used her magic hands to create a unique hairstyle for me.

 I was impressed by the fact that the salon washed my hair before any hairstyling is done.  Most of the time, the hairstylist would work on creating the hairstyle without any hairwashing done before that.

My hair was dried properly before the hairstyling began.

 Kenjo Salon offers a variety of cold and hot drinks for the customers to enjoy while doing their hair services.

I decided to go for mineral water while waiting for Soo Bin.

My hair before any hairstyling began.  Soo Bin and I discussed about some possibilities and we decided that natural is the way to go since it was an afternoon event which i was attending.

Soo Bin was gentle and friendly and we got along very well.

And the hairstyling began...

Make a guess what type of hairstyle Soo Bin gave me?

 One side is done so we proceed to the other side.

Time for the curling tong to do its work.

 Chatting with Joseph, Founder and Director of Kenjo Salon.  A very friendly and humble gentleman with many years of experience in the hairstyling industry.  I felt very honoured to be able to speak to a great entrepreneur with visions and goals.

Yes... It was almost done.  Guess what type of hairstyle Soo Bin did for me? I loved it so much!

The two of us busy taking photos cos we were so proud of the results.

Tada!  Just look at the detailed hair pleating done by Soo Bin.  OMG... I definitely wouldn't be able to achieve this on my own.

I loved the soft large curls which Soo Bin did at the ends of the hair.  It looked so soft and feminine yet natural too.

 Selfie time... Soo Bin is not just talented but she is so photogenic too.

 Photo time with Soo Bin and Joseph, the Founder and Director of Kenjo Salon.

I absolutely love the salon's logo which includes a crown design.  I guess it signifies that the salon makes every customer look and feel like a king or queen.  Nice!
