If you did not notice, i was in BonitoChico dress, HH cardigan & AE clutch. Lol!
I was aware of Salon Vim's presence ever since LB owners became their ambassadors, but that's not the main reason why i decided to get a hair cut there.
My lovely mum own a salon and i've always had my haircut/colouring at home for 20 over years. I have neither visited another salon nor have my own stylist (except for my mum). I don't trust another pair of hands messing around with my.... really straight (no rebonding required) & beautiful hair. *muhaha*
really long & straight eh?
Then it strikes me real hard that my mum is getting older & she's tired after work. My previous employer has corporate discounts with various hair salons and one of which was Salon Vim. My hair by then was:
- really ridiculously long & straight (didnt have a hair cut for more than half a year then)
- Thick & flat like roti-prata
- unlike many, i dont have a proper fix hair parting. (madness!)
- I cut my own fringe (disastrous! Flat, messy & a little balding since i open my parting at the side for quite some time).
please just focus on the hair - Before my visit to Salon Vim
Ever heard that a nice hairdo does change how one looks? So i did some research on Salon Vim (there are so many reviews) and i came across a random lady who visited the salon & paid for the services done by Gary. She put a before & after pictures and OMG! It blew me away! From plain jane to gorgeous!
So in Feb-March I decided to fix an appointment and chose only Gary as i was really particular & don't trust anyone else. He solved my hair woes (as stated above) and most importantly, he gave me a more definite side parting. Point of entry till i left the salon was nothing but pleasant. That was my virgin visit to a Salon at age 24. I told myself that i'll definitely go back soon to dye & highlight my hair.
But Surprise surprise! I was the first lucky winner for their April facebook promotion - L'oreal Professionnel Series Nature Hair Treatment! So my 2nd visit was earlier than i thought.
The whole processes took me nearly 2 hours to complete. So there's the wash, blow dry, applying the green-y hair treatment on my hair, steaming for about 20 mins, wash, blow dry and lastly curling*. Gary and another of his staff explained that the special thing about this L'oreal Series was that it's all natural ingredients made from Fig tree.

I have dry ends and after the treatment it's just smoothness and the smell was heavenly. I really wish i dont have to wash my hair the day after and so on. *Gary wanted to have my hair curled which i resisted initially but he said "For a change in look", i decided to trust in his magic hands & vola!
Look at the fringe - a month plus after my first visit
So I left Salon Vim in glee with Gorgeous (temporary) curls, smooth & silky to the touch, and the pleasant smell that's left on my hair after an exciting experience with the professional team. Thank You, Gary & all Salon Vim Staff.
I'll be back soon! =)

Hi Nava, thank you! I like the curls too, Gary really did an amazing job with it. :)
Gorgeous hair! no wonder so many good reviews about Salon Vim @ http://www.beautyundercover.sg/hair/salon-vim-chez-vous-313-somerset
Was it expensive?
Hi!!! Thank you! :)
When I went earlier this year, the haircut rate (style by directors) were only $50+. Now they have increased the rate to $70+. I had corporate discount then, so for my visit i only paid $30+ for my haircut.
Wow - gorgeous hair!!!!!!
We just launched a new website in Singapore called www.ZupaDo.com. The site helps people find the best hair salons (and stylists), it would be sooooooo awesome if you could do a really quick review of Salon Vim on the site. Last week we had over 15,000 visitors trying to find a new hair salon, your advice and review of the Salon Vim would be really cool and honest and really help people :)
Keep blogging - your rock!
