My Hair Treatment Experience at Yoon Salon

by JH - Monday, September 14, 2020

Well, ever since my last perming job, I have been experiencing dry, frizzy hair which easily leads to breakages. I was in dire need for a solution when YOON came just in time. At YOON, they dedicate themselves to address customers’ deepest tresses concerns and attend to their desired hair goals, all at the same time creating a truly personalized experience for every customer who visits.

It’s always best to pre-book them in advance as their appointments often fill up quickly. I managed to get a slot and was at their Havelock II outlet to try out their Hair Defrizzing Treatment due to my tresses concerns. Notwithstanding, they also offer basic cuts, coloring, rebonding, etc.

Upon arriving, I was welcomed by their friendly receptionists who made me feel at home right away. After filling up some forms and declaration, I was ushered to Collin, my stylist for the session.

Before the procedure took place, Collin did a thorough assessment and talked to me about my locks’ history, lifestyle, concerns and my desired outcomes from the session. After about 10 to 15 minutes, the treatment to be done was decided and I was put to do a pre photoshoot.

Take a look at my rather unruly, dry and frizzy hair.

Yoon Salon has a range of treatment options for you to choose from. I was recommended a treatment that took about an hour. Using only premium products for all their services, you can be assured of the gentleness and safeness of what goes to your locks and scalp with no additional harsh chemicals.

First, a wash and shampoo with basic massages to cleanse my scalp and tresses in preparation for maximum absorption of the goodness later.

The treatment commenced with a 3-step procedure.

The Primer Accelerator was first applied to the stands to enhance the overall results. Next, Essence was put on to repair, strengthened and smoothened the cuticles in each strand.

The goodness of the essence was locked with a 15 minutes sealed misting procedure.

Thereafter, I was ushered to the washing area and informed that, as a final step, the sealing serum would be coated on my stands for 10 minutes absorption before my final wash. Back to my seat after the wash and I was treated with a short but relaxing and extremely comfortable warm towel shoulder massage. Finally, after a blow dry, I was done with the treatment and emerged with smooth, kink-free hair ready to face the world.

Take a look at my post-treatment tresses. Though this is not a lockdown change as I did not do rebonding to smooth out my permed curls, but personally, I felt my tresses had become more manageable and less drying that very instant.

I was extremely pleased with the results to be honest. My fingers ran through my tresses without any tangles and it was such a joy really. My tresses were softer and smooth to touch. Now, this is not a definite fix and I was told the effects could last a month at the very least, depending on individual condition and texture, but for the impressive results I had in just one session, I was satisfied.

I came to learn that engaging in such regular repair and moisturising fixes are so important for those shiny, smooth locks and in preserving visible results. More so than doing ‘hair -altering’ procedures such as rebonding or perming, coloring etc. So ladies, if you are concerned about the health and condition of your tresses, I would strongly recommend investing in such regular sessions for strong, silky locks.

A sweet gesture after every scalp and hair treatments, YOON would provide a four-weekly boosters to bring home the salon experience. This definitely makes caring and maintaining the glossy condition of your tresses much easier. How thoughtful!

YOON prides their impeccable personalized customer service. Their focus is on you to fully immerse in the services experience and not worry about pricings or other factors. From the time you set foot in, rest at ease and leave it to the hands of their specialists. Be welcomed with sweet treats and drink and when it’s a rainy day outside, they even give out umbrellas to customers. Nice touch.

This leads me to the next point about their unique systematic operations. I like how they truly value creating the unique customers’ experience by allocating 'specialists' to different parts of the operations. Over here, their roles are truly well defined. For example, the senior stylists (they do not peg their pricings by classifying stylists further as Directors, Junior, etc.) focus on the hair and services delivery, the admin/receptionist welcomes customers and handles bookings; while the sales consultants end the service loop, seeking feedback and introducing customers to other services and providing the end-point pricing.

Everyone in this salon has a role and this allows their staff to provide the best service and experiences possible for everyone. This is something unique and not often seen in most salons where there is an overlapping of roles.

Another unique feature is that customers will have the personal phone number of the consultants who attended to them so that they may contact them on any hair issues for easier follow-up, something different from the norm.

Worry not about tie-ups and packages hard sell as they do not believe in engaging these tactics. At the end of the day, it is the personalised unique customers’ experience and the expertise delivery that entice one’s return.

If you are looking for a style change or to improve your tresses’ condition, give them a try and go on a truly enjoyable journey.

Ready for the change you need?

If you are new to YOON, you can now try one of their premium services at just $28 for your first session. Simply head over to their website to fill in your details and choose from the 3 outlets - Midpoint Orchard, Queensway Shopping Centre and Havelock II available.

Plushopedic™ Adjustable Memory Fluff Pillow Review

by JH - Saturday, April 25, 2020

Stiff Neck? Back pain? Restless sleep?

The experts at SleepWiz want you to have a sweet, peaceful and deep sleep at the end of a hard day's work.

Troubled with the occasional stiff neck and lower back, I was thankful SleepWiz recommended their Plushopedic™ Adjustable Memory Fluff Pillow to me. It was just the catalyst for the change I have been denying myself of. I immediately went to check out their website for the product information and came to know of the fluff pillow's 2-in-1 function - boasting a memory foam in a typical soft mellow pillow, which certainly did not match up to the image of a typically rigid memory foam pillow. I was sold to the idea having a customized memory fluff pillow and no longer conforming to the standard pillows which might flex my head in strained and weird positions.

When I first received it, I was amazed at how the pillow was delivered. The Plushopedic™ Memory Fluff pillow was all flattened and vacuumed up in a nice coiled up bundle. Simply cut open the vacuum pack and start using. For the curious minds, when you do open up the protector ( outer layer), you will see the memory fluff that attributes to the wonder of the Plushopedic™ Memory Fluff pillows, interesting material.

To be honest, I was perplexed by the flatness of the pillow on my very first use as it was quite unlike the typical bouncy pillows we may be used to. Upon seeking clarifications from the friendly crew at SleepWiz, I was glad to find out that I just have to shift the fillings around by hand to fluff the pillow to my desired height, let it rest ( almost like setting the bread dough) and voila, the pillow was ready. It took a couple of days for the pillow to take shape, but that was not a big problem.

Comfort wise, I really appreciate how the Plushopedic™ Memory Fluff pillow gives me the necessary support for my back and envelopes my neck nicely, especially essential for a back-sleeper like me. The pillow comes encased with the super-breathable Coolmax® pillow protector and helps cool one's sleep. Personally, I have not been able to verify that as our weather is really humid and hot these past nights and I don't sleep in with air conditioning. But if you do, perhaps you can feel the difference. It's pretty subjective really.

I am anticipating to see how it can remain fluff up over the years. Only time can tell but meanwhile have a good night sleep, folks!

Sweet dreams always.

PHS HAIRSCIENCE ® ADV Range Hair Care Engineered for Your Hair

by JH - Wednesday, January 01, 2020

Troubled by sensitive scalp? Me too. For the past months, I have been having itchy and troubled sensitive scalp. Despite switching between different brands, I saw no improvements till I was introduced to the PHS HAIRSCIENCE ® ADV Soothe Range, engineered for dry and sensitive scalp suitable for both males and females. Despite being on the verge of giving up, I was determined to find a solution for my itchy scalp and with nothing to lose, I embarked on a 1 week journey with PHS HAIRSCIENCE ®.

If you want beautiful hair, start with a healthy root. The advisers at PHS HAIRSCIENCE ® shared on the many factors – stress, hormones, environment, diet, well-being, frequent coloring and treatment, even not blow-drying your hair – that could affect the pH balance and wellness of our scalp. It may be hard to control the external factors, but you can certainly be in control over what you choose to put on your scalp.

Delay no more and work towards reverting your scalp to a balanced, healthy state.

The ADV Soothe Shampoo comes in a 200ml pump size compact for traveling or staycations. My dry and tangled hair got its immediate relief after the 2nd wash and I could feel that my hair becoming softer and the tangles eased. Amazing as it sounds, it worked for me. Further daily washes provided a much needed comfort for my then-itchy scalp and I had never felt more light-headed, literally.

The ADV Soothe Shampoo is the happy pill to my sensitive scalp and I look forward to my daily hair washes now.

I relished on the cool tingling sensation while massaging the goodness into my scalp! With key extracts such as Jasmine, Green Tea leaves and Rice Stem Cells, these goodness boost antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, promotes scalp circulation and removes sebum, clogs and dandruff flakes. Leave it longer than a minute when in the showers for the goodness to work its way to the roots

Adding on the ADV Nutrition Conditioner to lock in hair moisture for some TLC is essential. I love to complete the process by spraying on the ADV Soothe Tonic to replenish the water content of your scalp after a deep cleansing and boost your scalp immune system. Spray on after toweling but before hair drying. Apply the tonic on different sections of your hair and massage in gently. Give yourself a good rub.

You will be happy to know that all ADV haircare products contain stem cells, made with the high concentration of botanical essences, the products do not contain harmful additives like parabens, mineral oils or benzophenone and I am definitely looking forward to a strengthened healthy scalp as I continue to diligently use the PHS HAIRSCIENCE ® ADV Soothe haircare series for healthier scalp and hair growth and so can you.

Wish to give it a try too?

Lazada Turns 6th! ( AKA S-A-L-E-S)

by JH - Monday, April 23, 2018

Happy 6th Birthday!

The folks at Lazada are preparing for their big bash upcoming from 24th - 26th April 2018 and you are invited too. As a prelude, I received an early "Surprise Box" full of hair products from HASK.

If you haven't heard, last weekend Lazada had a birthday prelude where mystery boxes were sold at $29 and I swear the crowd was strong with snaking queues to boot. All for the sake of grabbing the best deals and locking one of those Surprise Boxes — an assortment of goodies from the vendors and partners of Lazada, ranging from beauty, lifestyle, travel, home, fashion and lots more.

Love Surprises?

Missed that? Fret not because the real thing is just about to get started. Get hyped up over up to 90% off on Lazada website with more than 600 flash deals happening at segregated timings throughout the day from 24 to 26 April. You know the drill if you have been Lazada's ardent fans over the years and this year is no different as you will get the chance to grab affordable Brand Surprise Boxes @ $29 (Worth $100). Do look out for 4 exclusive premium beauty boxes going at $50 worth $100 too. Psst, I am not revealing what they are. The best deals go towards the best treasure hunters.

In my trove from HASK, here are just 3 items I am revealing out of the $100 worth of products bundled in. Of special mentions is the 5-in-1 Hair Rescue Leave-in Conditional which came in a spray to dispense bottle for that instant water-locking moisture I need for my dry hair ends. Perfect for lazy girls like me who find conditioning in the shower too troublesome. I also love the Revive & Refresh Daily Hair Mist in a very handy spray bottle which gives off a light lingering baby powder smell. Especially useful when returning back to the office after a sweaty walk out to lunch!

Priced at $29 per box, you get more bang for your money with products well worth $100.

The Nivea Box

I had my own surprise when Lazada sent over the Lazada X Nivea Box. Containing all your familiar Nivea products, this is one handy box that puts a smile on my face. For the ladies, I am sure you will definitely love the specially curated items put together by Lazada.

For just a sneak preview, I had put on 4 items from the box which I love.

The Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion packs a punch for dry skin. This intensive moisturizer helps to lock in the necessary moisture necessary, leaving skin soft and silky with the generous spread of almond oil content. The nutty fragrance smells definitely puts you in a good mood.

The Nivea Extra Whitening Anti-Perspirant is my best after-workout friend especially if I am outdoors where shower facilities are not readily available.

The hydrating Makeup Clear 3in 1 Foam Cleanser effectively removes 10 types of makeup (i.e Base, foundation, blusher, moisturizer etc.) for users with dry, dull and damaged skin with its gentle formulation containing micro Hyaluronic Acid and Golden Algae.

Lastly, the Lovely Lips Pink Smoothie contains a lovely shade of baby pink hue while combining with long-lasting hydration with a glossy finish. Another lip product which I hope can defend my easily drying lips after spending long hours in the air-conditioned office.

This is the first of its kind partnership between Lazada and CapitaLand to promote online-to-offline integration.

Visitors can simply snap and upload pictures on social media with the hashtag #ShopLazada1212 at the “anti-gravity” photo booth.

Mr. Alexis Lanternier, Chief Executive Officer of Lazada Singapore shared this great news with shoppers: “At the event, shoppers can win exciting prizes and vouchers to shop on Lazada this 12.12, where they can enjoy up to 90% off, over 120 flash deals and vouchers worth $120”

New: Click and Collect Lounges

Lazada currently has five live “click and collect” lounges across CapitaLand malls – Plaza Singapura, Bugis+, JCube, Westgate, and IMM. Customers can collect parcels and return items while the lounges also serve as collection points for sellers! Isn't that genius? This is certainly a delightful piece of news for us shopaholics.

On 12.12, brands will offer shoppers over 50 ‘surprise boxes’. These boxes, containing $100 worth of items but selling at $29, were so popular on 11 November (11.11) that some of them sold out in 4 seconds.

The branded surprise box is an example of the close synergy between Lazada and brand partners to engage shoppers. Since its introduction in March this year at Lazada’s Birthday Sale, the number of branded surprise boxes for customers to choose from has grown by more than four times.

I can definitely attest to the Lazada Suprise Boxes having reviewed these gems. It was such a surprise to receive random surprises within each definitely value-for-money. No surprises it was sold out in seconds.
