Managing my mane

I really regretted dyeing my hair colour blue black. Regretted letting her persuade me to dye blue black with red colour streak running down my right. That was in July, when i wanted to try something different and of course, look different during my cousin's wedding. Anyways, I have been wanting to try blue black cos they say your hair will look very radiant and shiny.

Little do i know that once you dye blue black, you have to either wait for your new hair to grow out or bleach it if you wanna do another dye job. I went to 2 hair dresser, one in Singapore and the other in Beijing, both tell me the same thing. So since I am in Beijing now, i might as well do my hair once and for all. SO that next time i will be free to dye or highlight my hair and not wait for new hair to grow out.

So i went to the salon near our apartment. They were having some promotion. 30% discount on hair cuts. I chose to let their 总监 cut my hair, since it only cost 98Y or approximately SGD 17. He suggested to remove my present colour from my hair first, then dye the colour that i want and then do a treatment. I managed to negotiate for a free haircut from him. My days of bargaining at 秀水 (a flea market like place in Beijing) works.

I was ushered into an area where the 总监 serves his clients. He and his assistant then started working on my hair. I was given lots of magazine to read, green/red tea to drink and even lap top to surf net. Not bad hor? Then I was given a hand massage by his assistant. I felt really uncomfortable cos i am not used to such things over in Singapore. I rejected her offer but she insisted. I prefer to either sleep or stone when doing my hair. But Ok, what the heck, just try la.

Overall, i am rather pleased with his cut and colour. Here's the before and after shots: Ok, it actually looks much nicer last night..it sort of flattened after one night of sleeping.
