Ken invited me down to the Salon to try out their newly launched, Rinka Aqua Care Product, his timing was impeccable because my long locks were weighing me down and I felt it was time to give my hair a new lease of life. If you have read my earlier post I have been a huge fan of Ken for the last couple of year and whenever there is a promotion or new product at the salon I am always willing to lend my support.

Aqua Hair Treatment – What sets Rinka Aqua Care apart from other anti-frizzing hair treatments is its Aqua PPT quality which is a hair repair ingredient giving you strong healthy hair this amazing product  rids your hair of fizziness is 100% formaldehyde-free which is a plus for pregnant ladies and can last up to five month. The price range for Rinka Aqua Care Straightening is from Rinka $260.00-$350.00 (pricing is dependent on the length and volume of your hair).

Ken helped me snip off half the length of my hair to a nice shoulder-length style as I requested, I felt much lighter without feeling burdened by the weight of my hair. A trim every now and then helps you to eliminate split ends which prevent your hair from splitting all the way to the root with the addition of Rinka Aqua Care hair straightening treatment my hair felt silky smooth and soft to the touch.  You must also remember to take good care of your scalp only when your scalp is healthy you will have less hair fall and dandruff. With the La Biosthetique scalp treatment that I was given after I had straightening done, I know that I was well taken care of.

Why hair care and maintenance is important – I went for hair colouring with Kudos by Headlines Hairdressing earlier in January this year and within four months my hair was overgrown and heavy. Haircare is not only just about personal hygiene where just you wash it and you are good to go, it requires maintenance every couple of months at a trusted salon. Just like any part of your body where you are subjected to harsh weather and pollution your hair needs the same amount of effort and care.

Only the best for their customer at Kudos By Headlines Hairdressing – Ken and Gary have always gone by the philosophy of giving their customers the best. The salon has a switch to Dyson Hairdryers which felt fantastic when my hair was being dried, I felt really pampered. I was wondering what the whole Dyson hairdryer hype was about but now I felt the difference for myself.  To me, the salon is a hidden gem in the heart of Chinatown always a treat to visit and worth the trip each time.

There is a monthly update on their latest promotion so please do follow their Instagram account for more details.

It can be a nightmare searching for the right lock for your brand new HDB BTO's gate but it doesn’t have to be because Loon Lock has come to your rescue… 

I liked Genmaicha from the moment I tried it at a cafe. The first versions of roasted rice tea I tried  were of Korean origins but the tea tends to have a heavier burnt taste which can be a bit much for some. The Japanese version of  roasted rice tea however tasted much lighter and fragrant, I like both the Korean and Japanese teas but if I were asked to pick I would say I prefered the Japanese version. It has a nutty flavour to it and smells amazing. The tea is nicked named popcorn tea in japan due to the process where the rice is roasted which produces a popping sound much like when you are popping popcorn in your microwave.

Renovation during covid19 2020- Our floor tiles and the false ceiling was completed but all renovation works had to be put on halt due to the covid19 lockdown. It was a huge bummer but nothing we could be done; there was also a huge men power shortage which left us with only 1 person to do all our carpentry work and it was no easy feat as we had a truckload of shelves and cabinets to be built. Hosen our ID himself would help the carpenter with the installations at times.




We delayed our renovations further after renovation works were allowed to continue for Hosen to work on his apartment as his family required a new home because they have handed over their flat to the new owners. We were not in a rush to our new home as dear and I was living separately in our respective parents’ home. I always believed in showing understanding and kindness especially when there was someone in dire need.

We were very thankful to have Hosen coordinated all the necessary requirements by the authorities, post lockdown to ensure a timely schedule for the renovations. He also coordinated our window grills, air-con installation, city gas installations and electric works as well as plumbing. His team installed the Song-Cho Cooker Hood with External Carbon (SC-L1), Song-Cho Clean up a sink and the 72L Built-in Oven with Grill Function. He was also very particular about getting the measurements of all the electronics such as the hob, refrigerators and sink right. What I found most adorable was he would ensure that all the carpentry was spaced out well where a person would be able to walk through comfortably, As I walk through my kitchen and bedroom these days I realised he measured this space using his own body size which was amusingly efficient the spacing was just right.

                                     

Review on Hosen Gan Swiss Interior - In conclusion, I would say that what would have been a chaotic experience, thankfully was a smooth renovation journey, with the right person in charge ensured that it was a rather good outcome and the quality of the carpentry was impeccable.
