Miss S came to us after a not being 100% happy with another vendor. She wasn’t sure what she wanted (as many brides don’t during a trial) so we tried a romantic bun on the side for starters. Turns out that it was exactly what she was looking for!
I got my hair “painted” with the Balayage technique at the Roy Teeluck Salon. I figured that I needed to treat myself to one nice, expensive salon because of my past bad experiences. If you mention Yelp, you get 20% off your entire service!
Since I was a full paying customer, I asked for a cappuccino and finished my Catcher in the Rye.
I’m a huge fan of highlighting because it really adds texture for lifeless looking hair. Especially being an Asian-American girl, it’s hard to stand out amongst the million black haired people in the world.
So… what is Balayage? It’s becoming a more well known technique of highlighting hair and many people are doing this instead of foils. Literally, it means “to sweep” and they often use the term “painting hair.” It’s supposed to look more natural and subtle!
Because I’ve struggled with being hairy all my life, I’ve tried a lot of the hair removal products out there. But out of all of them EMJOI has been the best!
I found another $25 haircut post on Craigslist and decided to go ahead and take the plunge on my birthday. The beautiful salon is located on 21st and 5th Ave.
I chopped off about 6 inches off my hair on my birthday. I was hating my hairstyle and couldn’t stand my terrible cut that I had gotten awhile ago at Alfangi Salon in NY. Can you believe that a bad haircut would last that long? It kept growing out to be weirder & weirder!
A few things new things that I experienced at the Butterfly Studio Salon:
I was recently told by a stylist that the purpose of shampooing your hair is to clean and stimulate your scalp. Well, duh — you might be thinking. But the stimulating the scalp part actually was a reminder for me because I don’t actually do it! She said that by stimulating your scalp by scrubbing with your fingers, you will actually help promote healthy hair growth. Hair GROWTH!? Ohh I need that!
Here are some pictures to help you understand how far you have to dig into your scalp to massage and scrub:
