I finally and officially went grey!!! I have never been in love with my hair so I thought I'd do a blogpost about it. I just got it done 2 days ago so it's still fresh and I haven't washed my hair since and to be honest, I don't even wanna wash my hair because I don't want it to fade straight away but I know that would be gross! LOL
You may or may not know that I've always wanted to go grey but every time I attempted to do so, it doesn't always work. It either turns to be a different colour or it lasts for only a week. And on top of that, I have to get 7 sessions that's $200 or more each session in order to turn that specific grey. And there's no way I am going to let $1400 plus slip out of my hands just like that (unless it's a Justin Bieber concert of course!!) So I gave up at this point because I've never had any good experience with salons.
But just recently my sister searched up salons that does grey hair because she wanted to go grey as well. She found this hair salon called ''Stop-In Hair and Beauty'. We checked their instagram page and we were impressed with the pictures of the hair transformations and the quality of their ash grey balayage/ombre, which they seem to specialise in. I was thinking to myself that there's no way those balayage was done in only one session...
Honestly, I was contemplating if I should do it or not but my sister convinced me so I did it since I've always wanted to do to anyways. And I swear to you guys I am so glad I did!! Of course at first I didn't expect much because it might not work out again, just like my previous experiences. But it turned out really really well!
High-raised Ash Silver Grey
We had our appointment at 10:00am and didn't finish until 6:00pm. All the bleaching and the waiting, everything was all worth it. So my hair was bleached twice. Each bleaching session takes about an hour. After my hair was bleached, it still had orange-y residue. This is because my hair had already been bleached prior to that. So it had to be bleached again to get the grey that I wanted to achieve. After my Second bleaching session, it still had a bit of orange but it was ready to be toned. And mind you this was all done in ONE day! After toning my hair the first time, there were still yellow shades in some parts so Chi - the lady that did my hair - had to tone my hair again until it turns grey. And she was so nice and professional because she didn't stop until my hair was super toned and grey, silver almost. They try to make sure you get what you want.
We were practically there for the whole day and they were so nice to offer us drinks and if we'd like anything to eat. The customer service was on point and they were very gentle with our hair. It was a very nice experience for me. They put so much effort and time on my hair! They spent almost 7 hours just to get the best results and honestly, they over exceeded my expectations! Wonderful service and they also gave us helpful tips on how to look after our hair. I've never been this grey but @stopinhair.beauty made it work! I can honestly say that THEY ARE THE GUY TANG OF MELBOURNE! So I really recommend this hair salon if you live in the west side of Melbourne (or even if you don't)!
