Gelish Manicure/Pedicure with Nailart Design at Nailz Treats on 31 Mar 2017

My last visit to Nailz Treats was on 27th Feb and it took me a while to make an appointment for my gelish manicure and pedicure as my gelish manicure was perfectly intact... it wasn't chipped off at all.  I didn't want to remove it as the nailart was nicely drawn but as my nails were getting too long for comfort and I had a photoshoot to do, I called the sweet lady boss of Nailz Treats to fixed an appointment on 31th Mar to remove my eyelash extensions and do gelish manicure/pedicure.

Even though the lady boss is running four Nailz Treats outlets, she is always so sweet to respond to me within a day to help me fix an appointment with her manicurists.  I'm so grateful to her and Nailz Treats manicurists for always being so supportive of my social media works and beautifying my nails so that I can attend events with super pretty nails!

We started off the manicure process by removing the existing gelish nail polish on the nails.

While one manicurist was busy doing manicure, the other worked on my toe nails.

My fingers were wrapped up with cotton pads in soak-off solution.

Afterwhich, remaining gelish nail polish was carefully pushed away.

Nails were filed to a length which I am comfortable with.

The gelish manicure process began with a solution applied to remove any oil on the nail bed so that the gelish nail polish could adhere better to the nails.

Looking at the number of different coloured gelish nail polishes, could you guess how my nail art will look like?

And the painting began, starting with the base coat.

Just take a look at the video which I took while the manicurist worked on my nails to create a 'marbled' effect!

And.... this was the final result!  It was my first time sporting this nail art design and black coloured nails as well.  Ain't this cool?

If you are keen to do manicure/pedicure in Nailz Treats, they have four outlets for you to choose from.  For this visit, I went to Outlet 2 located at Bedok Mall #B1-563.

Topp Care Hair Solutions-Fixed Price Hair and Scalp Treatments Using High Quality Plant Extracts

Topp Care Hair Solutions-Fixed Price Hair and Scalp Treatments Using High Quality Plant Extracts

Two things that might occur with aging are thinning hair and hair fall.  Even though a lot of people always tell me that I look like I am in my late 20s, the truth is I'm not.  I am an advocate of the fact that prevention is better than cure.  So when I got to know about Topp Care Hair Solutions (顶盛护发中心), the newest hair care centre in Tampines, which was officially opened on 15 October 2016, I was very excited to try out their various scalp treatments

TOPP CARE HAIR SOLUTIONS OPENS IN TAMPINES!

Located at unit #01-1131 of Block 201D, Tampines Street 21, Topp Care offers a wide range of treatments specially created to address specific hair and scalp conditions.  The uniqueness of Topp Care’s treatments lies in the infusion of natural ingredients including high quality Western botanicals and selected medicinal herbs that aim to effectively prevent hair loss and oily scalp, both of which are common problems faced by today’s busy city dwellers when exposed to the local humid climate.

Personally, I felt that I suffered from oily scalp and my hair especially near the crown has thinned over the years. Hence I visited Topp Care on 9 Mar 2017 to see what kind of scalp treatment I could try to improve on my hair and scalp condition.

Upon stepping into Topp Care, I immediately felt a welcoming comfort as it exuded a relaxing ambience for customers looking for a good break while enjoying the treatments.

Treatments and Products

There are four signature treatments available at Topp Care:

•   Healthy Scalp Treatment – Hair Loss Prevention

•   Detoxdren Scalp Mask  - Oily & Inflamed Scalp

•   Energising Scalp Mask - Hair Strengthening and Shine

•   Hair Spa Treatment – Dry and Chemically Treated Hair

Administered by professionally qualified therapists, the steps in each treatment incorporate the use of products made of high quality natural ingredients with properties that promote hair growth and scalp health.  “Hair-friendly” Western botanicals like aloe vera, burdock, ginko and thyme form the key composition of the ampoules, masks, shampoos and conditioners.

Selected products can even be purchased for home use as an extension to the treatments to achieve a more holistic result.

To inject life to the hair, Topp Care also offers hair colouring as a value-added service for customers who desire a refreshed and vibrant look.  The colour range carries the most updated shades of black, brown and red.

Before any treatment is administered, the therapist will do a scalp and hair scan to analyse the current scalp condition.  

  

I was super excited yet nervous to find out my scalp condition. With the detailed analysis, I would be more aware of my scalp condition and use the right type of products to improve it.

The moment of truth had arrived.  The therapist analysed my scalp and told me that my scalp was oily and pretty clogged up.  Hair growth was poor as well.

Very sad right? Given my scalp condition, I was recommended the Healthy Scalp Treatment.  This treatment last for 35 mins and is suitable for all scalp conditions.  It helps to prevent hair loss and supports regenerative functions to promote hair growth.

The benefits of this treatment include gentle cleansing, eliminating bacterial and slowing down sebum productions.  According to the therapist, visible result can be seen in just one treatment while additional treatments are recommended to attain and maintain a desired healthy scalp.

My favourite part of the whole session was the head massages. It was therapeutic, as the therapist rubbed the serums and tonics into my scalp to let it absorb better.

Some of the main ingredients found in the products used during my treatment include:


Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Oil)

•   Contains Vitamins to support strong and healthy hair

•   Contains Vitamin E excellent for conditioning hair

•    
Isochrysis Galbana Extract (Mircoalgae)

•   Prevents hair loss

•    Strengthens hair follicles

  

After the treatment, I went for another scalp and hair scan.  Let's take a look at the result.

See how clean my scalp looks now!  Amazing results in just one treatment.  My scalp also looked less clogged up now... yippee!

My scalp feels more clean and fresh throughout the day, lasting up to the next day without washing! Even in the humid weather, my scalp was perfectly free from itch all day!

  

Transparent Fixed Pricing

I know many people are wondering if Topp Care therapists will push packages for their customers to sign up.  The good thing is they do not because not only does Topp Care care for the customers’ hair and scalp, it also cares for their wallets.  

Topp Care’s treatments are all fixed at an affordable rate.  Regardless of which treatment a customer chooses, the charge is $80 (inclusive of GST, excluding hair colouring which is charged according to hair’s length).  

Customers can confidently walk into Topp Care without the fear of having to sign up hefty packages that cost thousands of dollars.

HydraFacial Treatment and Light Therapy at The Clifford Clinic on 2 Mar 2017

I realised how susceptible I was to pimple outbreak when I saw my own photo of my side profile.  I took that photo to show a before photo of my eyelashes before my eyelash extensions.  But horror of all horrors, I noticed there were pimples on my cheeks when normally they don't appear there and my skin looked super congested.  It could well be due to hormonal imbalance but it got me super worried. 

The next thing I did was to watsapp Dr Gerard Ee from The Clifford Clinic for a solution.  I sent him that photo and asked him for his expert opinion on what treatment I should go for or what pills I should take to keep the pimples away.

Dr Ee was very kind to ask me to go over to his clinic so that he can take a look at my skin condition to decide on the next course of action.  I decided on a date and time and viola... I was back at The Clifford Clinic to get rid of my pimples. 

After consultation with Dr Ee, he recommend HydraFacial Treatment and he strongly discouraged me to take any pills to curb my pimples from coming up as he said pills would be too aggressive a treatment and my condition did not warrant taking pills to get rid of the pimples.

To be frank, I was skeptical about HydraFacial as I thought, "How would a facial be able to help my skin?'  As far as I know, a facial is just cleansing, steaming, extraction, masking of the face, applying toner and moisturiser.

I kept asking Dr Ee if this would really work but he reassured me that it would.  As Dr Ee is the expert in skin problems, I decided to go with his recommendation and I was whisked into the facial treatment room a few minutes later.

This machine was the first thing that caught my attention.  I asked the therapist and she said that the products used for HydraFacial are kept inside and will be administered on the skin using the machine.  

Wow... so super high tech!  I wished I have one at home to do my own facial.  With a click of a button, the machine would administer the right amount of products based on the steps of the treatment.

There were a total of 2 facial treatment rooms and both looked so comfortable.

Taking a selfie before my HydraFacial Treatment.  My skin looked ok here right?  Don't be deceived.. If you go closer, you would be able to see the pimples and redness... sob sob.

The therapist removed those dirt and oil from my face first before Step 1 of HydraFacial treatment.

After the therapist started on Step 1 of HydraFacial Therapy, I realised how powerful this machine was.  Each step was carried by this machine and therein lies the power of this machine to achieve instant and lasting results.

The Process

Step 1: Cleansing and Exfoliation

Dead skin cells are removed to reveal healthy new skin.

Step 2: Acid Peel

This gentle peel helps loosen dirt and debris from pores without irritation.

Step 3: Extractions

Painless, automated extractions using vortex suction to clean out pores.

Step 4: Hydration

Antioxidants and Hyaluronic Acide are Vortex-Fused to nourish and protect.

Experience Vortex-Fusion

Each treatment uses a series of patented HydroPeel tips-Each one has multiple abrasive edges to exfoliate the skin several times each pass, achieving better, more even results.

The unique spiral design creates a vortex effect to easily dislodge and remove skin solutions and potent antioxidants.

Results Time

Now... time to see if HydraFacial really worked for me.

OMG... my skin has never looked so glowy and radiant before!  Absolutely no makeup, no photo filter at all for the photo below.

ok, I gotta declare myself as a die-hard fan of HydraFacial Treatment from now on.  This is so amazing that I couldn't believe my eyes!

Remember I mentioned that I was very skeptical at first but results really speak volume.  My face had never been so clean before.  I can only say... WOW!

Afterwhich, Dr Ee prescribed the Light Therapy for me to kill all the bacteria on my face that was causing the breakouts.  A mask was placed on top of my face while the light shone on it.  There was no pain and I almost fell asleep on the bed.

ok, I am gonna do HydraFacial every month cos it works!

There is no downtime or discomfort, shows immediate results, targets specific skin concerns and provides an alternative to invasive procedures.

HydraFacial is going at S$128 (before GST) in The Clifford Clinic.  I think everyone should go for this treatment to throughly cleanse and protect your face with powerful anti-oxidants.
