Hair appointments are a sacred time.
To most people, it’s a solid 3-hour
session for them to refresh, recharge and realign their thoughts. The Hair
Appointment goes beyond the simple fact that you’re getting your hair cut.
Coco Chanel once said how a woman who
cuts her hair is about to change her life. That’s something we’ve heard too
many times, but take for granted. Looking back, I too, have cut my hair and
changed my life ..several times in fact (LOL - #funfact, half those times, it
really wasn’t up to me how I liked my hair because the agency would have final
say, or – if the job was a hair show, where they’d use harsh bleach and do the
crazy stuff they call “creative cut”. You know as one gets older … “fun” has
quite a different meaning, and you reach a place where pink hair cannot be
tolerated.)
Anyway, it’s always about the process
and the experience for me. Whether I’m transitioning from child to adult, or if
I’m deciding to cut my hair – it’s all about who, what, where, when, but
especially – how. The devil’s in the details – and when I find a place that
gives me all that, I stick. I’m loyal like that and I couldn’t be happier to
head back to Kenjo Salon for my hair appointment (insert angelic glowy tones
like the gates of heaven opening up). At Kenjo, you’re really in for a treat –
and the level of commitment from the team is real. I checked in with Senior
Stylist Justin late on a Friday evening after an entire day of meetings. Picture
this: Everyone was just bout leaving the salon but Justin still entertained my
requests, taking the effort to go the extra mile – no hair-lock was left
unflipped (I’ve no idea what this means, but just take it in its most literal
sense – I was tired, and my hair needed that attention ok?)

| Fresh out of the Goldwell Color Zoom Championships! Senior Stylist Justin T | KENJO Salon |
So chatting with Justin, I had to ask
him about the latest news in town. If you follow Kenjo Salon on their social media
platforms, you’d have seen Justin at the recent Goldwell Color Zoom
Championships!
This champ’s going to get busier with
more bookings, so if you’re thinking of fixing that mane, book early! More on
the Goldwell Color Zoom Championships: After battling it out with hundreds of
hairstylists nationwide, Justin emerged TOP 5, representing KENJO Salon at the
finals on 15 August 2017. Stylists were judged based on the creativity and
technical abilities, focusing on colour and cut. Justin was telling me how it
was a fantastic experience and allowed him to mingle and learn from other
industry-insiders.
On my side of life, work's been busy but
as I always say: Busy’s good. Sometimes I sacrifice personal time, like
grooming sessions – and to be super honest, that’s been the case for the past 2
months. I realise now it’s bout time to clean up my act yeah? I thought about
it and seriously - personal grooming is really important, and shouldn’t be
sacrificed. Heading back to Kenjo, the lovely team set me up with a colour refresh,
and a new trim. I’ve been thinking of growing my bob out, so we kept the trim
really delicate this time round. Justin continually out-does himself. I’d ask
for a trim, but he’d ensure that if I can’t give him the length, he’d give me
volume. So it works like this: It’s either you go short, or you go voluminous (a
little hard to explain in words, but you get the drift when you feel the hair).
It’s a world of difference. P.s. Thanks Justin ;)
Zooming into the colour act: Choice of
the day was our good ol’ Mucota for their lovely earthy brown tones in the
all-natural organic Hair Colour range. Justin set me up with a bespoke shade
that matched my skin tone and how I’d usually style my hair. Little gestures
and thoughtfulness like this really means a lot to me as a customer because I
know I can trust them in giving me the look that best fits my lifestyle and
profession. The whole process is fuss-free and all you really need to worry
about is what drink you’d like to have from their menu.
After the hair colour, we sealed the
deal with a Olaplex one-step treatment. This included a steam which aims to
lock in all the moisture and pack the nutrients in to every strand along its
length, leaving your locks shiny.
