Hair — like it or not, it’s one of your best features that can make or break your look.
Just like clothes, shoes and any other fashion accessories, a woman’s hair plays a major role in creating an entire ensemble. I am not sure about you but I am very picky with who touches my hair. Be it a haircut, colour treatment or wash and blow, I need to know who the stylist is and I need to be able to fully trust the stylist with my hair. It is after all, one of my most precious assets. Plus, with great style and care, your hair will look great and make you feel like you are worth a million bucks.
Since hair is now thought of as a symbol of beauty to a woman in terms of status and power, it is no surprise that there is rise in hair salons around town and the competition is steep.
Here is a list of the hair salons in the Klang Valley that my friends and I swear by.
A salon that caters to both international and local clients, Ish Salon has been around since 2001. Featuring a team led by Michael Richard Marriner, who has almost thirty years of specialised experience and worked in Australia, China, Japan, London and Singapore before settling down in Malaysia, Ish Salon is known for its great service that includes brilliant cutting, styling and colouring. Open every Monday to Saturday from 10.00am to 7.00pm, there is also an eye candy for you to look at while getting your hair done.
Pretty popular amongt the public, Shawn Cutler has two outlets in Bangsar — one at Jalan Telawi 2 and one at Telawi Square so if one gets too crowded, you can always go to the other. There is also one in Damansara Heights. Open daily, Shawn Cutler is full of surprises — from the interior design to its hair stylists with magical fingers! Also known for their honest opinions, each stylist will let their customers know if the hair style or colour suits. Customers can also get a mani and pedi while waiting for their hair to be done.
Founded by Michael Cheow, C. Michael is without a doubt one of the upscale names when it comes to hair care. Known for its own line of hair products, C. Michael also does a brilliant job at colouring and cutting for a reasonable price so making reservations is highly recommended as compared to just walking in.
Located in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail and The Curve, Peekaboo Malaysia has been around for almost 15 years. Providing fantastic customer service, Peekaboo does a good job at picking out the best hair colour that suits the customers best and is often visited by a clientele that includes local personalities.
