My new haircut

Since I trimmed my hair like....a month plus ago, I haven't shown you how I looked like...hehe...
So here goes.....
How do I look?

This pic was taken immediately after the trim, wash and blow....fresh out of the salon:)

Also, and this is a comparison with my previous style...long hair..

So, what's the verdict, long hair or short hair for me? :D

Beauty Spa

My first hand opportunity and big hole in bank account for a beauty spa treatment last weekend.
Had wanted to try it out for some time but was rather reluctant.
Last week, finally had the guts to try it out; risking some pocket money as well:p
Most of my girl friends in KL have already made their way to facials long long time ago...

So, I went to this Leonard Drake place in Gurney...which I have done some research on prior to the visit.

And really, I am impressed by their service....wow, really nice and luxurious treatment:p
However, the price was indeed expensive...I heard it is one of the most expensive ones!!
Anyway, they did a skin analysis before doing the treatment and they guaranteed that it will make a difference in the way I look after.
I met this lady whom I talked to the last time I was there; her name was Lily and she provided lots of information about facial treatment. Such a coincidence that she was assigned as my facial therapist for that day and we had a nice long chat.
It was such a soothing therapy/treatment session....with aromatherapy, facial cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating with the moisturisers, and facial oil.
Then of course, there's that extraction process....eeeeehhhh....scared of the painful process, so they didn't force me to continue.
And..then, there's the masque for the face to maintain the hydration level.

And I was practically done :)
Then they even offered the quick touch up on the face; basically just some foundation on the face and then I made my way to pay.
Of course, before that, they tried to sell me their products.
I was impressed by their products because it has always been gentle for sensitive skin like mine and it felt good :D

However, it was too pricey....I may consider getting it the next time when I am richer...haha....
Conclusion, I really enjoyed and managed to relax during the therapy session....though it was pricey but I think it's worth it because these people are really professional and treated us real good.
Sometimes, it really feels good to pamper ourselves, huh?
**Dreams**

Pampering myself

Yeah...after that hair treatment, though expensive for my normal standards (Princess can be quite frugal sometimes:p), I kinda felt that I should be spoiling myself more.
You know, getting these treatments and pampering sessions:)

So, let me think of a list for those prima donnas; what do they usually do for luxury:
1. Facial care
2. Hair treatment
3. Manicure
4. Pedicure
5. Spa and massage
6. Aromatherapy
7. Scrubs for the body and feet

Wowwww...so much stuffs...I will be broke if I go for all that:p
Maybe if I am a rich tai tai or a rich career lady, I may consider :)

Luxury for my crown of glory

Went for a haircut the other day and also some treatment.
Thought about this some time and I needed to maintain some healthy locks (long hair makes your hair more vulnerable and more fragile).
Reason is simple; the longer your hair, the farther the distance from the scalp (root of everything). Thus, nutrition may not reach to the end of your hair; thus creating weaker hair ends.
I went to Gurney Plaza and decided between these 2 hair saloons; one of which had more young guys with punky hair and the other was the Loreal Professional with ladies, mature ladies:)
Haha....of course, after a short while, I decided to go for the latter (I have done my survey the other time:p)

So I went into the saloon where I was seated and I told them I wanted some treatment for my hair. So they recommended me this spa treatment to cleanse and protect the hair; strengthening the roots...on promotion for RM118.
I wanted to cut my hair as well so off started my hair session.
I was served a hot cup of tea and given 2 magazines to browse through - though I brought along a clip of a haircut I kinda like:)
They washed my hair and this lady was quite friendly and told me that hair was the crown of glory for women and that women fear hair loss the most:p
Haha...to me, another marketing gimmick....
when you go to slimming center, then they will tell you, women fear weight gain the most; go to cosmetics counter; women fear aging the most, etc etc.

But she was pretty good with my hair; washed it tenderly then dried it.
After that, she splattered some cold stuffs; the hair spa treatment using a wide brush and did it layer by layer.
It was really soothing and relaxing:)
She wrapped it up and turned on this equipment which rotated around my head; which exhaled/exuded hot air now and then...for drying purpose:)
Then hair wash again....and waiting for the next service.

Then another lady came in; introducing herself as May.
She did my haircut - and she actually even recommended certain length - not too short.
Hehehe...I am liking her already:)
For me, bottom line is the length of the hair should never surpass the length that can be tied or made up.
Means, no boy cut etc for me...else I will howl the whole place down!!!
Worse than a plague if I get a bad hair cut:(

So, she cut my hair in a very professional way; you know....not horizontally straight but in a jagged way vertically:)
Unique huh; had a light banter with her and she told me she did learn on hair cutting for 6 months (only the basics).
Then they had to go for apprenticeship too.... not just simply come out to do hair cutting etc.
So, she gave me her name card and told me to look her up the next time I go there.
The best part about it all is that she never pushed me to purchase any product at all.
Everything is at customer's will....
And she did encourage for the treatment to be done regularly but she mentioned it's up to me:)

So there goes my long locks; traded in place for the short shoulder length bob I have now...hehe, kinda like Chae Rim from All About Eve now...feel professional and lighter too:)
Comments that look younger:D
