As I'm typing this, I'm actually getting my hair steamed and treated. After almost a year of absence, I'm back at my favourite hair salon, Cu's and Do's over in Solaris, getting my hair Raya-ready once again. The original plan was to get my hair recoloured and permed, but Yen, my fave hair stylist, said that I can only do it after three months. Ah well...
Cu's and Do's has expanded! They took over the spa upstairs and now they have a floor dedicated for customers who want to get their hair coloured/permed/rebonded. Since these things take up hours (in my case I was there for 5!), customers can now enjoy some privacy upstairs...
They even have a little balcony for you to sit and chill out in
A custom-made water fountain sits right in front of the chairs above
...away from the hustle and bustle downstairs which is now dedicated to hair cuts and hair treatments - and of course, those who want a manicure & pedicure done for them.
And one of the added features is that they have Wi-Fi available so they lend Toshiba laptops for their customers to use. Customers like me! ;)
This is me before with my lack lustre hair which needs trimming. My original roots are showing and is in desperate need of another makeover.
After a light wash, Yen trims my hair. Locks of my hair cut off...
Stage 1...
Now for the colour... they're using a brand called Majirel from the L'oreal Professional line. So I opted for the second combination... the base is darker than the one I had last time and the highlights are lighter.
Ok, so first the highlights go on....
then the base colour...
My head gets wrapped with cellophane...
After something like half an hour, my hair gets a proper shampoo wash and then they apply toner through my hair to tone down the colouring and balance it out. After 15 minutes (I'm guessing coz I fell asleep), my hair gets washed again and then they apply treatment cream. My head is put in the steamer for 15 minutes...
... and then my hair gets another thorough rinse.
Finally my hair gets blow dried...
And this is the final result...
Right now, Cu's & Do's is having a promotion where for RM199 you get colour + hair cut + treatment. And for RM238 you get perm + cut and 50% discount on hair treatment. You'd better hurry though because they're ending this just before Raya but you can call to make enquiries and appointments at 012-313 1226 or 012-312 3884 and speak to Yen personally.
