6 Insider Hair Tips Everyone Must Know

When your hands grace the manes of multiple women and men for about 10 years, chances are…you will have some pretty interesting stories as well as insider tips to tell. And, that is what Ning Agoncillo shared with me the other day. Luckily for you, I am willing to share all her efficient hair tips for free!

1. SAVE ON ADD-ONS

If the salon that you frequent charges you with the shampoo and conditioner whenever you are getting a haircut, save on the add-ons by showering at home. Not only will you save cash but you will also save precious time.

2. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE NAMES

Different salons have different names for the same treatments. For instance one salon may call it Keratin Treatment while the other can call it Reborn Treatment. You must take the responsibility to inquire about the treatment process beforehand in order to compare the salons and to get the best price.

3. EVERYTHING CAN BE REPAIRED

And, given the years of experience and education, she imparts that a good hairdresser is able to repair anything. If your hair has been suffering dryness and frizziness for years, do not fret because it can still become healthy! If you dyed your hair with the wrong shade, do not worry. You can outgrow and re-dye your hair.

4. YOUR HAIR CUT MUST COMPLEMENT YOUR FACE SHAPE

Your hair cut must complement and frame your face well. Square-shaped faces must keep their hair long with layers in order to highlight their face. Also, it is a must to avoid short hair cuts. While for people with round-shaped faces, getting a pixie cut is a good idea. And for heart-shaped faces, a medium hair cut with uniform layers will look nice.

5. KNOW THESE IF YOU ARE GETTING A TREATMENT

If you are getting a treatment, do know that you will stretch your dollar as well as maximize its effects if you steamed your hair in the process.

6. YOU SHALL NOT INVEST ON EXPENSIVE SCISSORS

Investing on expensive stylist’s scissors is not advisable if you are not a professional or if you are not studying to become one. This is because the scissors need preservation techniques such as keeping it cool or not lending it to others in order to maintain its perfect setting.

There are days when you just want to reinvent your look and go wild with different hair colors. But, not all hair services in Singapore are cheap! Some may cost you over S$200. Fortunately, there are other ways to tell your beautiful story with your hair as the canvas…

1. INDULGE ON GROUPON

GROUPON is probably my all time favorite shopping companion. Used by many Singaporeans, GROUPON is a website that offers discounted deals on events, luxury goods, bags, watches, beauty products, lifestyle services, and getaways. I recommend going for these current deals below that range for only S$23-48.

Styling, highlights, blow dry, and treatment at a fair price brought to you by GROUPON! You can conveniently pay through for Debit/ Credit Card, Paypal or American Express.

2. TRY SHOPPING ON Qoo10

Aside from GROUPON, Qoo10 is a popular website portal for diverse sellers around the world. The ongoing Qoo10 e-Ticket sold by Organic Hair Professional Singapore can save you up to S$93 on hair coloring! With this e-Ticket, you can avail 90 minutes of cut, wash, blow dry, and organic hair coloring for only S$48. What’s more? They have 7 locations islandwide!

3. LOOK FOR PROMOTIONS

Still have your heart set on the best salons in Singapore such as Salon Vim, Artica Hair Studio, and Toni & Guy Essensuals Hairdressing? The good news is that these salons offer promotions for haircut, treatment, and hair coloring every once in a while.

For example, you can get the Artica‘s Express Package including hair coloring and protein treatment for S$88  or the Essensuals hair coloring, cut, and treatment for S$148. Only Artica Hair Studio and Toni & Guy Essensuals Hairdressing have available promotions at the moment. But, you may keep an eye on Salon Vim’s promotions at salonvim.com/promotions.

4. LASTLY, SELF-SERVICE

If your budget for hair coloring is less than S$16 then, try the magical services provided by you! At your own speed and mixture, you can achieve a new hair color by spending as low as S$7.90 for a box of Revlon ColorSilk or as high as S$15.90 for a box of a Liese Blaune Treatment Cream Color. These are available at all Watsons outlets. Watch this short “How to Dye Your Hair at Home” video to guide you.
