tresses

Many of you have been asking about my hair.. some ask what I do to it, how I style it, and etc. Well, the truth is I don't do anything other than regularly washing it (I’m not even that diligent with conditioner). No fancy salon treatments or anything. In fact, I'm actually one of those anti-salon person. Not that I don't like being pampered, but I just don't like having my hair look "too done". But at certain times of the year, I might just say "yes" for a salon trip. One of this occurrence happened to take place on Monday. The Sunsilk Hair Studio had just opened a month ago, and because of its temporary existence, I decided to give it a go anyway.

What's unique about this beauty parlor is that it's the first Sunsilk salon in Indonesia. The concept is a collaboration between Sunsilk and Qiqi Franky, an established makeup artist and hair stylist. If you have no idea what to do with your mane, try out one of the hair trends that they've set up. Short hair girls could try the "Fierce Crop" for that modern and sporty feel. Whereas long haired ladies have a selection to choose. Feeling retro? Test out the "Retro Red Carpet" for a romantic and elegant updo complete with old-school finger wave. If curls aren't your thing, get the "Upper East Ponytail" style where the classic ponytail is updated with a modern twist. If classic is your middle name, get the Jackie-O blow out, or as it's known at Sunsilk Hair Studio : the "First Lady".


The futuristic looking salon is divided into two areas : Zone 1 and Zone 2. The first zone which measures 249.95 m² holds a reception, photo booth area (yes, photo booth with those fancy lighting sets), a lounge, and a cafe brought to you by Spinelli. For shopaholics out there, you can also check out product displays where local brands such as Petite Cupcakes have their pieces for sale!





Now, in between those 2 zones, there are 7 gorgeous creations by some of Indonesia's leading designers. These designs all reflect the 7 hair trends Sunsilk Hair Studio offers.

The second zone is where all the beauty magic occurs. 10 washing booths, 26 treatment stations, and a team ready to help you out. Although you can get some creambath, a haircut or even your makeup done, I just opted to do the simple wash & blow dry process. Since my hair was ‘normal’, the stylist offered me to use the Smooth & Straight range. She first washed my hair twice then applied conditioner only to the ends because my roots were oily. I then moved to one of the chairs were another stylist named Harris blow-dried my hair. I told him that I don’t want the “vavoom big hair” effect, just make it natural and he listened to my instructions carefully :)






Verdict : I loved the results! The waves were not “too done” and they looked natural. My tresses were also soft and they smelled nice. With the friendly staff and stylists, Sunsilk Hair Studio is defo worth a comeback. For those who are on holiday or maybe you're at Grand Indonesia for lunch/dinner, do stop by! Not only that you will walk out with beautiful tresses, but you'll feel more relaxed after trying out some of the treatments offered.


Sunsilk Hair Studio is located on the 2nd Floor of Grand Indonesia Shopping Mall, East Mall.
