The Athens Experience - Athens Hair Salon

Hello,



As most of you would have already seen, I decided to chop off my long coloured hair ever so ruthlessly. I was never one who got sentimental over my hair. Embracing change is something I'm used to and welcome!

The first major snip off happened at the Redken Hair Makeover which I won on their facebook page. I went there not really knowing what I was going to do with my long blue hair. So I left it to them and said; Do ANYTHING you want.

I didn't really tell anyone what I was doing, not even Andrea. I decided to be real cheeky and post this photo on my Instagram (mariemjsoh) :

I had so much fun reading all the comments! I totally should have made extensions out of my hair! Dammit!

                                       

This was the final out come of the Redken makeover. It's interesting and a very tai tai (rich married woman) look. But then!!!! I saw this picture on my brother's laptop and my eyes opened so big!

Shannyn Sossamon is so GORGEOUS and I totally loved the effortless look and hairstyle!

After getting my nails done at Dia Bella, I got my hair cut at Athen's by Weng.

The moment I saw her hair I knew I was in good hands, she had a similar hair style that was looking for! I showed her my reference photo and off I went.

DO YOU LIKE IT? I TOTALLY LOVE IT! 

Here's Weng, she's so camera shy!

 I enjoyed my experience with Athens, from the relaxing, shiock head scrub/hair wash, till the end when she styled my hair!

The cut was pretty fast and Weng definitely was very confident and proficient with her work. The salon is also clean and neat, really good for the slight OCD me. Do check out Athen's Facebook page to check out their other works.

Hair washing and hair care has never been easier, if you have watched my video on my hair care routine with my long bleached/coloured hair you would understand the multitude of difference.

Here's photos of my new hair in action (not styled of cos).

Dia Bella Nail Spa & Athens Hair Salon (Singapore)

*Update: Its been over a week now and my nails are still in mint condition. I worked, travelled and basically abused my hands/nails. I'm normally not a dainty female species (very chor lor) and I do a lot of work with my hands, and NONE! NOT A SINGLE BLING BLING DROPPED OUT! I'm certainly impressed by the quality of the nails/nail art! Well done Dia Bella!




So, Andrea and I went to get our nails done at Dia Bella Nail Spa and get our hair trimmed at Athens Hair Salon in Serangoon Gardens.

First Impressions:
It is a really nice and cosy place. Spacious and well decorated. The Dia Bella is housed within Athens so look out for the Athens sign outside.

Location:
8A Maju Ave
Serangoon
Singapore 556686

It is conveniently located within the heart of Serangoon Gardens, just opposite the My Village mall.
The nearest mrt is Serangoon Mrt.

Hygiene & Services:

We we impressed by the overall hygiene levels of the spa. The tool were welll sterilised an the tool baskets were kept neat and clean. The nail technician, Elaine was really neat, gentle and proficient.

Our Nails:

Andrea chose a plaid design that was done with Gellyfit gel polishes, which she loved!  

Each stripe was added layer by layer and too quite a lot of time. But the result was well worth the effort.

They recommended me to try out their Bridal nail art. I got acrylic tip extensions done to lengthen my nails. My nails were encrusted with Swarovski elements, pearls and heart thingyies. Perfect if you are a magpie and totally love your bling. It was interesting first experience with such girly long nails.

Overall we really love our shiny new nails! Hopefully it will last long enough.

Recent occurrences

First up, Marie and I did 2 collaborations last weekend. Here's just a teaser shot of Keline aka Urbandoll looking very adorably pleased with her hair. 

On Sunday i went to Flea market which happened to be near my house. I got OPI's I Lily Love You, which is a translucent glitter/flakie thing. Some jewel-like rings painted w nail polish, 1 of which i've given to my friend. And lastly i got 'caviar' beads for nails. Will film that then i get to trying it out.

Today i got a couple of things from Watson's because they're having another sale. I'm loving the Royal Blue, (they call it Dark Blue) Clio Waterproof Shadow Pencil. I've had blue hair for about 2 months now and i'm on a prolonged BLUE kick. I love Ardell lashes and they were on 20% off so i had to get them. I rarely wear falsies but i have plans of cutting these up for ease and comfort of wear. Hopefully i do a video for that so it makes slightly more sense.

Last but not least, i'm starting on Biotin, today will be Day1 so hopefully i'll see improvement in my hair, skin and nails in a months time. I've been hearing a lot about this in random videos so i thought i'd  actually try to start taking care of myself with vitamins. Once my annoying cough is over, i'm going back to exercise.. no more excuses.

Talk to yall soon,
