My Hair Treatment Experience at AimMax Hair Salon

Hello ladies!

I would like to share with you my experience of having hair treatment at AimMax Hair Salon. :) As a member of Aim Max, I get to try both scalp and hair treatment at once! (of course the membership is not cheap too :p ). The products they use is Wella System Professional, which I have seen quite often in magazine recently.I  was told that the scalp treatment is to cleanse our oily scalp, exfoliate dead skin cells and restore nutrients for a healthier scalp. There are 3 main steps in this treatment - scrub (to exfoliate), scalp shampoo and scalp mask.

I was started first with scalp treatment. The hairdresser applied the scrub onto my scalp and massaged for exfoliation. I actually enjoyed this moment very much as the scrub is cooling. :) I guess it has some kind of mint ingredients. After that I was shampooed with scalp shampoo before applying scalp mask. (Oopss.. too bad I forgot to write down the name of the scalp scrub and mask :( ).

Following that, the hairdresser continued with the hair treatment. I learned that this is a personalised hair treatment. Jin (the director) combined 3 unique benefits together in one treatment by using Volumize Emulsion, Hydrate Mask and Colour Save Infusion. The reason is I have fine, coloured and dehydrated hair. After the prescribed formula was applied, I was put under a 'special' hair steamer. :p The normal hair steamer that I usually experience has only hot steam. But this one, it gave me hot steam and suddenly it turned to cold at the end of treatment. They said cold air helped to closed the pores. Hmmm... interesting huh?

Finally, the treatment is done! Jin again snapped some photos of my hair scalp to show me the difference between before and after. Too bad the pictures they sent to me was too small. Can't show it here. :( The main difference I can spot is that my hair roots are not that oily anymore. ;) Overall, I love these treatments. My hair felt soft and not overloaded.

About the environment, I can say this salon is pretty comfortable and relaxing. :) The interior design is absolutely gorgeous. Below are some images which may give you some ideas about how the salon looks like.

Hair Colour: It got too 'Bright' on my head

I am so sorry ladies! I know I have promised to post some new things after my first post. But I got too busy with my work (sounds like excuse eh :p )

Finally here I am!  *wink*

Anyone of you who likes changing their hair colour? Well, I have been itching to re-colour my hair. Why? Because I have oily, fine and thin hair! Colouring it will change the oiliness and of course it will add some volumes to my hair! :) However, it did not turn out to be what I want for the colour. I went to a salon (for the first time for colouring) that offers a lower price for the service, unfortunately it turn out to be a nightmare!

The colour was too bright for my skin tone and they did not apply a darker colour at my hair roots! I told them that I wanted a darker colour (not the yellow/orange range) and requested an even darker one for my hair roots. The reason is our hair roots absorb the colour pretty fast! Well, they didn't really listen to me so here is the output :(

I got so sad and decided to re-colour again the next day at a salon that I used to go. I like the hair stylist, Jin as he knows what I want. He then coloured my hair to be a darker one! I'm sure you gonna ask why didn't I go to Jin right? Well, I just thought of trying somewhere new and that's the risk I got. :(

But for now, I am happy with my new hair colour which is not very bright and it does help to add some volumes. Yipppeeee! :) So thanks to Jin who saved my hair!

Tips: Use a darker colour for hair roots to avoid over-shiny look on your top and get yourself a suitable colour that you like! Hair Colour at RM120 (after 20% discount) at Aim Max Hair Salon, Greenlane Penang. Mainly SP Wella product is carried in this salon.
