Hair Salon Tokyo Michaela – Japanese Perms & Treatments To Turn Flat Hair Into Bouncy Waves This CNY

Hair Salon Tokyo Michaela –  Signature Perm and Treatment


michaela salon hair permFor those looking to usher the new year in with a set of soft, gentle yet volumising curls, Hair Salon Tokyo Michaela may be your go-to. The Japanese salon’s Michaela Signature Perm makes use of lower heat, a shorter duration and chemicals that aren’t as harsh to give your crowning glory bountiful waves instead of stiff and dried out granny-style twists.

They’ve also got a nourishing Tsuya Tsuya Treatment specifically developed to combat Singapore’s sky-high humidity levels which leads to frizz and damage. No better time to treat your tresses to some TLC, especially with their discounted prices and free take-home products.

Michaela’s salon staff body comprises well-trained Japanese hairstyling professionals with years of experience under their belt. Plus, take a quick gander and you’d realise they’re all pretty stylo-Milo and have got their personal aesthetics down pat. This gave me more confidence to trust their recommendations as they guided me through which cuts and curl styles would best suit my face shape.

After a quick trim, I was escorted to their spacious hair-washing zone where I laid back in their automated reclining chairs and got tucked into a cosy blanket.

The hair wash and massage were thoroughly enjoyable, but cleansing and relaxation are not all there is to it. This is also the stage where the staff begin prepping your locks for the perm, first by spritzing a keratin spray which opens up your hair cuticles and deeply strengthens from root to tip.

Next up, a thick and highly concentrated keratin cream is applied to my hair. It’s then sealed with a layer of cling film while a rotating heat lamp swirls above my noggin and aids penetration of the protein-packed formula.

It’s clear from all these extra steps that, on top of just providing an aesthetic transformation service, the salon actually ensures that past damage is treated and further damage is prevented. After all, your perm will only look as good as the health and condition of your hair allows.

Hair Salon Tokyo Michaela Singapore Perm Treatment Heat Coil

Time for the magic to happen! Sections of hair are meticulously rolled up into heating coils. Because I’ve opted for a softer, layered look to complement my face shape and give my hair a much-needed volume boost, the coils only go up about three-quarters the length of my hair – not all the way to the scalp.

Thereafter, the heating magic does its thing while I kick back and chill. The Michaela Signature Perm uses a soft and gentle warmth of just 50°C, whereas many traditional perm salons can crank the heat up to 100°C and above to create curls that are stiff to the touch and artificial in appearance.

There’s also a much shorter duration involved, with just 7 minutes of heat application followed by 7 minutes of cooling to set the curls. A lot more tolerable and convenient than dedicating hours of your day just stuck in a salon chair!
