Well yesterday I decided to cut my hair. I needed to anyway as it has grown to a tarzan’s length. My last cut was like 2 months plus ago I believe. After my weekly grocery shopping, well I scoured around Jurong Point.
I would usually go to a Malay barber, there was one I found infact for $12 at Level 3, but I decided for some mini ‘make-over’. I dun mind the extra cash splurge to beautify my locks … haha, I sound so gay and vain!
Well there was Jantzen, Storm or something, and there’s Jean Yip hairdressing. All look so cheena seh, but among these three, I found that the last one has people all smiling. So I decided to cut here. But oh boy did I somewhat regretted going there la!
The aftercut. My emote look. Emote = Emo + Tetek look
The thing is, the whole time I was at the salon, I didn’t once feel all comfortable. The moment I stepped into the salon, a lady who looks like she’s having PMS or bad day greeted me.
Being a total noob (newcomer) to salon, you could at least tell me what’s going on. She just ‘shoved’ me in the seat and started shampooing my hair.
You guys should know shampooing hair is fun, with the massage and all, but this lady was shampooing and washing my hair as if doing other people’s dirty laundry. With no love man. Then I was left seated all alone waiting.
Only after awhile did I know after my own observation that they have different set of people doing different jobs. So I had to wait for the one cutting my hair next. Wah lau, tell me la! I was sitting there reading this magazine like from 2004! A women magazine infact. The moment I turn the page, there’s the tampon article … like eyywww too much info.
The one cutting my hair is much friendlier. I like her, at least we had some kind of conversation going on. Usually when I go to the barber we would usually engage in some kind of conversation but not today. The cutter just asked what style I want and when the last time I cut my hair. And some small talks, thats it.
Well here’s two other photos to show my new monkey look. When I left Jurong Point with the new hairstyle, I did however raised a couple of heads turning my way. Unfortunately it’s not girls, it’s some Bangla and hedgehogs …
I feel that hair salon being a service industry, yesterday outing to this particular salon really showed how much we’re lacking in terms of good service. I mean people fork out the extra bucks for that extra little ‘first class’ service mah and in return I get crap.
I dun even mind ‘second class’ service, but I didn’t even get that. Maybe it’s been a long tiring day for them but the least show some smile and class la. Well that’s the last time I’m going there. Sayonara ..
P.S The haircut cost me $24.95
what an expensive n unpleasant trip…
well i ‘paid’ for it i guess …
hahah… very funny.. kesian!!!
haha, laugh some .. ketawa kan i eh ;-p

eh..goatee mana?
a new look babe … goatee becoming much of maintainance
mane ade hedgehog kat jurong point…
ada la, they not interested in u, just me … haha juz j/k ;-p
actually, you should have a personal hair stylist… first, must venture a good hair salon… then, when you are comfortable with that hair stylist, he would knw what you want, and would do you hair… most of the time…
to tell you the truth.. i don go for branded hair salon.. mine is jus below my block.. a unisex hair salon… i like the shampoo person and my hair stylist…
they very the kool!!!
and my hair, cut and wash only $14.00!!! hehehehhehehe :D
as u can see i dun frequent salon, so i dun hav personal stylist as i dun venture out. mayb slowly i’ll find one la, trial n error
in jp, no nearby hdb salon that i know of. jp situ jugak la. nak travel far juz to cut hair, i dun prefer aso.
mayb i go to urs? … talk more during ehem our gathering den
hmm. my eldest brother frequents Storm you know. u got rid of the gooatee! now u look erm.. neater!
i used to bump into you at woodlands mrt when i was having my attachment at woodlands sec. hmm so i guess il see you alot at jurong point arh.. haha
mayb i try storm nxt time. is it that std price of $24 plus plus to cut at JP?
yeah ppl say my goatee make me loook mature. so i guess as i’m still young, be young. i can look old when i get to that point later
i didnt c u at wdl. ok nxt time i c u, i’ll say hello
Or can go to Kimage at city hall (funan center)
For 16 dollars you can have shampoo, cut and style. Or worse to worst go to those 10 dollar 10 minute cut thing.
hehe go town to cut hair, i macam tak used to it. ok thanks, maybe i’ll try
i have tried those $10-10min .. they’re crap
thy sons are we kapa?
LOL
weellll…… next time u wanna to treat urself, ask for recommendations lah. kan dah terkopak. kessiiaann.
and i think u looke better with a kemas goatee. eerrmmm…. just my preference lorh. hehehee.
and here’s a smile for you =D
haha my guy frens dun go salon. plenty r botaks. some natural, some on purpose, haha. ok so wat r u recommendations
goatee phase is over for now …
heres a tongue for u ;-p
i know! go for botak je lah. so easy to mantain! u should try those yang kat bawah block je. i prefer an old hairdresser than a young one. because they are very particular about haircuts. but u need to tell them how u want it to be. cos they can be very old fashioned!
ala nah i’ll go botak again when my hair is falling out la, now can kacak sikit
i used to go to those hdb salon or barber at my old place ($8 to $12 range). now my place takde la babe
old hairdresser tahu ker potong new hairstyle
as long as that person can potong rambut dengan cermat dan teliti, i’m all for it. in all honesty, i believe only orang veteran sahaja yang paham selok belok rambot. and i would never step into QB man! I know its just 10 dollars. But I wont trust someone to cut my hair within 10 minutes!!!!!!!!
agreed!
i’ve stepped into QB once, and i’ll never cut there again lor
do they work based on number of ppl they cut eh? why the hurry
correct…. correct!
u getting older liaoz….. soon ur hair MIGHT start falling off (touch wood!) heehhehee…. then u can try the sexy botak look.
i’ll give the same answer… i only cut my hair at the aunty salon under my block. vverrryyy good and cheap =)
but then hor… sometimes my mother cut one also. also good. free what~
hoi, u sumpah i eh ;-p
wah u mother multi-talented. i’ve yet to go nie canteen
You turned a few heads with your new haircut? hmm.. maybe they wanted to ask you where you got your hair cut.. :P In a month or two, your hair will look better. :) Just don’t go to Jean Yip again.
yeah good advice, me not goin there anymore
well the hair is kinda ok, its the service there i don’t like
Haha.. I didnt try Jean Yip out, cuz its like if the salon’s kinda renowned, it’s bound to have alot of arrogant stylists. Well eff them. My friend tried Storm and it was kinda sucky as well, it wasnt to his desired hairstyle. I tried Jantzen, and i think it was kinda good..
ala.. senang senang.. pergi qb 10-min hair cut salon sua…
ok i try that jantan salon then next time
i tried civic center QB at woodlands, bad cut + bad service
Haha. A cute entry. How come the Banglas looking at u eh?
i turn then on? … haha :-p
*im in ure ARCHIVES links, snoopin arnd…*
hee:P
ok ape, bt veri e MAT lar e hairstyle…
haha YES!
i work at a salon, 75 for a mens cut? but great servace!
Wow must be good service for $75!
spammer?
