(Literal sneak peek XD)
So before I dive into the interior aspects of this salon, I'd like to share a recent hair adventure I got myself into. As many of my friends know, you can hardly see my hair in dark shades or tones. In recent years and fashion, grey/blue/green/red was all the rage and like most girls, I fall prey to 'em as well. And me being me, Ryu often lets me go my willful ways. Which unfortunately, even though heeding against his advice, I decided to bleach it 3 months back to achieve a gorgeous platinum grey shade I really wanted.
(In the event that you need to bleach, best NOT TO!)
It was much worse prior to this and my ends sorta melted during the initial stage! Hair was immensely difficult to dry and it was so unkempt, everyday's styling became a nightmare. Thus, Hair Studio Flamingo and Ryu's main goal is to guide and helping people achieve easy to maintain/manage hairstyles and most importantly, healthy looking tresses!
(Bye blondie! See you never!)
(Moments before he took a huge chunk and snipped it all off!)
So... the day before the big cut, I had this crazy idea. What if I decided to go reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy short. Like... pixie, short........? I've always wanted to try and I didn't wanna wait till I was old and groggy to sport short looks. But you know... the kinda fear that we all have.
(Gulp)
Well, I consulted Ryu while I was there and to my surprise, he was SUPER up for the idea! 1) Given the condition of my bleached and dried out hair, 2) I have an oval face shape, so it's suited for both short and long styles, 3) Seriously, why be normal when you can stand out!
(Yaaarss, half way there!)
(Got myself a darker color too, to compliment the cut!)
(Followed by 3 out of 15 Hair Studio Flamingo's treatment)
Before unraveling the final product, let's take a minute to take a look inside the gorgeous setup of this salon and why it's such a haven for me!
(Reception table with handmade accessories for sale! Made by none other than Ryu's Mom!)
(The comfy sofa just opposite the reception table)
(The whole salon is basked with natural sunlight from a transparent roof)
(It can be a little difficult to find with the huge MRT construction works going on outside..)
(The shampoo area, with minimal decor too but so scandi designed!)
(The highly raved hair treatment, which is priced affordably too!)
These are just some of the pictures I took from my camera, you'll have to experience the true tranquility and beauty of Ryu's self design salon with your own eyes! Has gotta to be one of my favorite Scandinavian look <3
(TADAAAHHHH!)
IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! (not so much for bubs XD) I was darn tempted to go RUBY ROSE SHORT but nawww.. I thought that this length and cut was just right. Took me a little getting used to and certain changes had to be made when it comes to wardrobe choices but I MEGA LOVE IT. It's super easy to maintain, FAST WASHHHH and I get to try so many styles with this cut! If you are thinking about it, don't. Just do it. Hair will come growing back anyway.
(Thanks for bringing this idea out to life!!!)
If you are thinking of visiting Hair Studio Flamingo, here are a few things you can look forward to experiencing and even purchasing at his salon!
(A guidance chart on which type of face shape is best suited for what kinda style)
(A brief introduction about their in-house hair treatments and how they will customize it for you!)
(A popular brand in Japan, Hiyotoni Hair Wax for purchase!)
(They are selling Japanese hair products that you can't find in Singapore too!)
The reason why I'm Ryu's utmost supporter is not because these are all sponsored and I'm obligated to do such advertising for him. But because as a foreigner, striving for a career of his own in our country, speaks minimal English (he did those guidance cards himself!) and a heart full to bring his skill sets to us; I genuinely believe in not only his craft but also his sincerity to give his best to his customers.
Sincerely my thanks Ryu! For all the hard work that you have put in for the past 2 years in my tresses and making me look so beautiful each time I step out of your salon. BIG LOVE!
