During Chinese New Year (CNY), it is a common belief for the Chinese to get new things. As the saying goes, 旧的不去，新的不来 (without the old going, there won't be any new coming), it is a norm for us to get wrapped up in new clothes, carry new bags, sporting a new hair cut etc to welcome the new year. This is also the time of the year where shops and salons get extremely busy; everyone rushes to get their nails, waxing, facial, hair etc done.

Even though I am not celebrating CNY this year due to my participation for Ms Tourism Sri Lanka International (06 - 23 Feb), it didn't deter me from spoiling myself with a new hair colour and treatment. hehe. Well, I want immerse in the cny spirits too!

Fixed myself with an appointment at my trusty hair salon, Hair Plus Korean Salon. I arrived at 11.30am for my appointment, and the salon was bustling with people! Everyone was so busy attending to customers as it is only 4 days away from cny, even my awesome stylist Su Kim! But at the same time, I am delighted to see the salon bustling with cheerful vibes, energetic kpop songs playing in the background.

Not long after, I was seated down at my designated seat and the hair assistant got to action immediately. I was given a Scalp Protecting Treatment rub on my scalp by their new hair assistant.


You'd be glad to know that this cute doey-eyed korean guy is the one and only male hair assistant in the salon! I usually leave my hair up to Su to decide what to do with it. She's very experienced, so I trust my hair in her hands and I have never been disappointed once. This time round, I wanted to "top up" my hair colour as my roots are growing out and I am about to go for my pageant, so I don't want it to look unsightly. Su suggested for me to get a new hair dye colour as it would look fresh. Since the current trending hair colour is Ash Brown, she gave me that together with a lighter ash brown highlight to go along with it. I've never dyed my hair ash brown, totally didn't know how it would look on me, but since Su suggested it, I shall not doubt it. haha.

  

Su quickly got down to colouring my hair together with her assistant and we left it to steam. Then, I got it washed off and had a scalp massage by her trusty hair assistant. She was so sweet and kept asking which spot itched on my scalp and she would give me an extra scratch there. i loveeee the hair wash and massage. hahaha!


Since I dyed my hair, Su gave me hair treatment after to ensure that my hair is in good condition. Went through 3 steps of their signature hair treatment while browsing through magazine and before I knew it, it was done. Got it washed off and blown dry.






So thankful that I found Hair Plus Korean Salon as my hair sponsor, I have never regretted once. Big shoutout to my readers who patronize the salon after reading my posts, and asking for the same hair services that I got. It makes me so happy to know that! :)

Since Gloria (lady boss) knew that I was heading to Sri Lanka for my pageant soon, she gave me some hair treatment cream and travel size toiletries to carry along. So sweet of her! I still have about 3/4 of their amazing hair treatment cream that they gave me last time but since it was too much of a hassle for me to pump it into travel size bottles to bring along, I got the sachets instead. Super convenient for me! This is really one product I swear by. I use them about once - twice a week at home and they make my hair so manageable! Plus, they are wallet friendly! Check out the prices at the salon, it is one super useful product. Remember it's a pink tube and has the word 03 on it.
