new hairstyle for new year...

That was my second time in Oh Jun Hair Salon (near Ampang Point). It's a hair salon owned by a Korean hairstylist. My brother recommended me this place because, according to him, this guy can create Korean hairstyle.

The first time I went there, I immediately like that place because the owner and employers are very friendly and the services are good. They would give you hand and back massage, gently put on a robe for you instead of just a towel around your shoulders, considerately put a pillow on your lap with magazines on top of it so that it's more comfortable and convenient to read the magazines.

I only wanted to do rebonding (straight hair perm) that day. But the owner, Oh Jun said that every time rebonding is very boring. He suggested that I do rebonding at the roots and curl at the bottom. I decided that life is about taking risks, so I agreed. Spent four and a half hour there. Oh Jun even treated me Korean "zha jiang mee" for lunch, a black colour sauce noodles which tasted quite nice. This is how i look. Didn't really like it at first, but after a while it's not bad looking...
This is how I look if I tie the upper portion of my hair...

Cost me RM400, which my family said is quite expensive. But I think it's quite reasonable. You guys can try out Oh Jun Hair Salon if the location is convenient. My favourite hair salon so far, and it's not expensive. A haircut is about RM30 only. Come find me in Ampang and I'll bring you there. ;)

Update (20/Feb/2011): See which salon I go to now, in here.

Hi, i went there for three times already. But i did hair wash & cut is RM60, even no hair wash, cut only costs me RM60 too. But look back to the date you post, i guess they already raised the price. :)

Went to this Korean hair salon 1 month ago. Forgot to bring branded hand bag. Therefore likely I was not given good service. My hair was cut badly, like it was cut by an amateur. Coloring done not by the hair dresser himself, but by Indonesian staff. At a certain moment Oh Jun (owner of the saloon) asked her, is it ok already. She looked at him like how do i know? When he dissappeared, I asked her do you actually know? She simply answered "No, I don't". My mouth fell wide open.
Paid 300 MYR for all this. For 300 MYR i expect the director to color it by himself. After blow drying, i got a painful hair styling experience, by pushing my hair very hard. I travelled all around the world, and never experienced more lousy service than in this hair saloon.
When i walked out actually not even looked bad. But at home when checking my hair by my self i noticed imbalance.
I went to other hair saloon in bangsar village to have it corrected. The hair dresser there told me I have had a very bad hair cut. And the coloring also badly done, colouring is not even. He corrected it as far as he could, and now feel better.
It was my first visit to Oh Jun hair salon and also my last one. I will never go back there again.
