Hair Makeover at Shunji Matsuo @ 313

If you are on my Facebook/Twitter, you would have already known that I had a hair makeover kindly sponsored by Shunji Matsuo @ 313. Special thanks to Dianah for making the necessary arrangements. I have had my hair done too at Shunji Matsuo last year, you can read the post here.

I was there on 2 Mondays; 28th November 2011 for a ceramic perm and 5th December 2011 for colour & highlight. It was my virgin experience with perming. Sadly, the perm did not last after the first wash. I voiced out my concern and the salon was gracious enough to re-do my curls again. Instead, I choose to opt for colour + highlight simply because I'm just scared it might die again the second time round! My hair is pretty stubborn on being straight. Major bummer.

Here's a BEFORE picture of my hair taken on the 1st Monday - 28th November 2011 for a ceramic perm.

I didn't do much on my hair this year except for trimming it every few months. I wanted to grow it out, so I did, and I grow out my fringe too because I wanted my fringe long for a change. I didn't dye my hair too expect for the ends which is dyed from the previous dye job last year.

It's a nice and safe look, but it was boring. So... I decided to give perming a try!

That's my stylist! He is Masa and he is the International Director of the salon.

A picture of me with the ceramic curls set into the hair. Amusing sight, haha.


If that is not amusing enough, shortly, I had a horseshoe-shaped bowl around my neck and a red towel clipped onto my head.


Here's the AFTER picture after 3 1/2 hours... Really liked the outcome of the perm!


It's soft, like what I wanted and it's natural looking.

Special thanks to my stylist, Masa!


Sadly, my curls died after the 1st wash and my joy was short-lived. I was there again, on the 2nd Monday - 5th December 2011 for colour & highlight.

I decided that I wanted a brown base with ash blonde highlights inspired by this particular J.Lo hairstyle. Showed Masa the picture for reference.

Masa had to trim my hair again because the ends was too damaged after the perm thus explains the much shorter length.

After trimming, another stylist, Shirley, took over. She first started by adding the highlights to my hair.

All the foils set in! Uncanny resemblance to a lion's mane.

After letting the foils set in for a while, she then proceeded to colour the rest of my hair with the base colour. She started with the mid - section first, then the ends and finally the roots.


My hair looks really crazy from the back.

5 hours later... The AFTER look.


I loved it! They styled my hair using a curling tong to create the loose curls.

Special thanks to Masa & Shirley!


The base colour got slightly darker for the next couple of days and I grew to love it even more.

It's a lovely shade isn't it? :)

All in all, I had a pleasant experience at Shunji Matsuo. Their staff is really dedicated and meticulous in their work. Even though the salon is really packed on the both days that I went, the stylists did not rush through their work and they delivered satisfying results.

Here's a side-by-side comparison of the picture of J.Lo that I showed Masa for reference and how my hair turned out to be like.

Not too far off aye? :)

If you are interested to try out my stylist, Masa, there's currently an ongoing promotion for his services.

If you like my hair colour, you can just quote my name "Deebz". Alternatively, you can show him my picture and Masa will replicate the colour for you.
