Naoki Yoshihara by Ash Salon - Liang Court Singapore

2 years back I was randomly approached on the street by a Japanese Street Photographer, Noriaki Tsuchiyam for a photo for his calendar app called Street Angels. Who knew 2 years later I would be receiving a friendly email from Noriaki-san, asking if I'll be interested in a Hair Makeover. 


As i was back in Chiang Rai throughout the whole opening period, it was thanks to Aya-san and Atsuko-san  (from Bluebird Ventures) who arranged for me to be part of this on their last makeover day. =)

I've been desperately trying to grow my hair out, however it gets really messy whenever it reaches shoulder length, so I left my hair in its disastrous state for the last 2months.

Alright enough blabber, time for the pictures:


NAOKI YOSHIHARA BY ASH 


ASH is a Japanese Hair Salon brand which has over 100 stores in Japan.



Sitting in the well-it and spacious salon. They have lockers for us to safekeep our handbags and belongings. You'll also be served tea and sweets, talk about good service.




While I was in Thailand I was told to send in pictures of my hair then, so i'm gonna use them for comparison.


BACK VIEW (BEFORE)

I had very short asymmetrical hair and the last stylist from a pretty reputable salon screwed it up big time, Trust me, i spent S$200 for a haircut and hairdye. Was fuming mad when i left and ended up covering my dye job with a DIY brown the very next day. 


BACKVIEW (AFTER, Ash Salon)

I mentioned that I'll like to grow my hair out and requested for a simple and neat haircut.
I like how shapely and light the bob is. 



SIDE VIEW (BEFORE)

Yikes, dry frizzy hair! Okay that's my fault for not conditioning my hair..



SIDE VIEW (AFTER, Ash Salon)

Obvious volume, and I must say both stylists ended the session with
"I've balanced out your bob, leaving a slight asymmetrical at the tip, so you can change your parting to either side if you feel like it."

Do the judging yourself.

FRONT VIEW (BEFORE)

I usually tuck one side behind my ear so it'll at least look neat.


FRONT VIEW (AFTER, Ash Salon)

Fits my chubby face lol.



Conclusion, I am definitely pleased with the haircut. Amazed at the meticulous techniques Japanese stylists at Ash Salon are trained to go through. They actually cut and measure your hair by small sections, that's alot of effort, which produced a very balanced haircut.

I am of course very honored to have the head of creative team, Teiji Ishizawa, best of thousands of stylists from the whole Ash group to monitor and finish my complimentary haircut.
Here's a photo with the pretty Atsuko-san and Teiji-san =)




Ash Salon is having 30% off all hair services till 30 Sept'13!

You can save the pricelist and enlarge it in photo viewer if you're interested. 



That's not all, 6weeks after my haircut with Ash Salon, I received a handmade card from Atsuko-san. I thought that was really sweet! Japanese are always the nicest people around.
Atsuko-san, if you're reading this, a big thank you to you and stay pretty too! =)
