Virgin experience with Essensuals :)

Experimented with a new hair saloon today. Was thinking of rebonding my hair but always put it off as a lot of the saloons do a lot of hard-sell and i would spend >$300 always. Happened to ask my friend over email which hairstylist she went to and coincidentally she was going to dye her hair today and she had been following this stylist for a certain period of time.

This is the saloon I went to Essensuals. 

Pretty good, I must say for the price. The director and stylist was offering me suggestions on my sensitive scalp. Was pretty embarrassed when she dried flakes appear on my hair after the wash but the director was sharing with me that it is due to sensitive scalp and not drandruff. Appreciate the no-hardsell though.The stylist is also an interesting person. He cuts hair part-time every Saturday. During weekdays, he teaches haircutting at ITE and he is also studying a course in marketing. He is very motivated. I wish I can handle my time as good as him.

This is my rebonded hair. Not exactly straight but i am happy cos it looks natural! Hope that the effects will last.  Was a bit surprised when the rebond cream was only left on my hair for 25 min as I usually have to wait for > 1hour for my hair to absorb the cream. The stylist even commented i have stubborn hair as it usually takes only 15 min! shocking. Could be because of the quality of cream.  Hence, the rebond only takes 4hours which is considered short by my standards!
