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. ;)

Soo Bin working on the final touches

 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.

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
