76Style - Number76 Experience and Review



Hello Ladies, 

I bet many of you girls would really like to try your hands on dyeing your hair since high school. Sadly we are forbid to do so due to school rules, which is completely normal in most of the country.

If you are following Cheeserland, Chuckei's, Fourfeetnine etc famous local bloggers , most of you would know about 

76Style a.k.a number76

It's a Japanese Trend Salon founded by Japanese entrepreneur and a famous hairstylist from Japan. From what we know : THEY ARE GOOD, NOT ONLY GOOD , BUT AWESOME IN HAIR COLORING!

They have 2 branches in Malaysia :
Mid Valley Northpoint 
From any direction to Mid Valley, make your way to The Gardens via car , look for road signs to North Point. Parking at Northpoint are normally full so it's better if you park at Midvalley and walk there via bridge. 
Main Entrance of Northpoint Ground Floor, face the Security Guard Post , turn right and walk all the way till the end. 76Style should be on your left.

Mont Kiara( I am sorry I don't know where is Mont Kiara's shop located at)


For more information , prices , booking, appointments etc , please visit their Facebook Page. They do reply PMs and wall comments very quickly. 

====================================



They have a very cozy environment and it looks very neat and clean.


And Yes , the receptionist does speak Japanese .
And Yes , they do have Japanese Hairstylist but most of them are directors with splendid skills.

Short Introduction on 76Style and their interior.

I will be noting down the tips at the end of this section for people who feel like trying out their services :)

====================================

Quick Tip + Awareness :

1. If you're are a student with a real tight budget , please do give them a call to ask or a small visit for consultation . **they don't charge for consultations.

2. Haircut are differ by hairstylist's experience. Directors are higher.

3. Bleaching per session are confirmed same price as hair coloring quoted by hairstylists.

4. Pastel colors are pretty but as told by stylist, most of them needed bleaching twice for people who have very dark hairs. (Triple for my case...double the price YO!) and it doesn't last. ( I am very grateful that stylist told me this because he sensed or knew that I am in a tight budget as well, looking for a nice and long lasting color)

5. There are chances you would be serve by Japanese Stylist(director level but coloring is same price:P) 
IF it's your 1st time or you did not know who to appoint. 
I would suggest people who doesn't understand Japanese to appoint the following because they speak Chinese and English.

Steve or Amy (Midvalley)
Hikky or Suky (Mont Kiara)



6. Best if you could, save pictures in your PHONES. This is super professional Saloon ok? When you say brown, there are tons of brown tones. You will be shocked when you see the hair color that I asked was Baby Pink(named by stylist) instead of Caramel Brown. (color of my favourite wig)
They are different from stylist point of view. TO make your life easier. PLEASE , references!

====================================


Here comes my hairstylist.


I was served by Odera-san who is a Japanese and yes , speaks in Japanese.



This was my 1st visit so I was appointed by the receptionist when I say I don't know who to ask for because I scared it might have a price change

**Oh yes, please beware that haircuts by director are higher price than seniors.
**Oh yes, bleaching requires x2 the hair coloring price. Example : Hair Coloring 220 + Bleach 220

They are friendly enough to explain every question I have on my 1st visit. :) (my question are stated above in the quick tip section)

I showed a few colors to Odera-san, through Steve's translation. They said that most of the color I wanted have to be bleached twice. I am in a very tight budget so I showed them this photo the similar wig color I want.

The above photo is one of my ad review photo for dollywink. That's a wig on my head. 

They says this color is Baby Pink. Only needed one time bleaching.
So I say fine , go with it.



 THIS is me with my crappy brown pudding hair dyed 7 times in a row and no sign of color to be shown....

====================================

The 1st thing is Bleaching.


DURING


I LOOK "GORGEOUS"
call me Lion Queen please.

That's not the end, bleach washed and my hair needed to be tone down to get the color I want.

Unfortunately I am unable to move to much because of the massive dye on my head and constant change of seating places. So no photos are taken during my tone-down/dyeing process. ;;+;;

But HEY! 
Here's the end results

====================================

I actually did a lot of researching before I actually decided to bleach my hair. Everyone said that : Bleaching's fuxking hurts!! Frizzy hair.

I NEVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON MY 1ST ATTEMPT! ^A^
WHY?!

A few friend actually explained that 76style uses Japanese product. Japanese bleach are famous for their effectiveness and painless bleaching. The bleach isn't strong enough to hurt your scalp but surprisingly it still worked as Bleach.

Example : 
1 dollar salt versus 25 dollar natural sea salt.
Cheap salt taste good but bad for health if over consume.
Sea salt still taste good but not as harmful as cheap salt on human body.


THUS , the price is consider very very very reasonable.
At least I am saying good bye to painless scalp*w*

DRY FRIZZY HAIR?!
NOT VERY, WHY?!

Why for me no?

I have extremely oily scalp and hair. I need to wash once a day to prevent hair fall and block pores.
After I bleached, my excessive oily are all being suck up (literally)
So it's true that some experience friends told me : to cure my oily scalp problem , go bleach ur hair

Not joking but it really works. My hair is a little bit dry compare to usual but it's fine! No tangle and frizzy ends so far !

For people who have extremely dry hair, do try out 76style "Magic Treatment" 
Am not saying but it work really well for most of the people.

I am definitely saving up for my next visit on 76style next year or year end 
;;w;;


To be frank, I am broke after the visit, BUT WORTH YOUR MONEY! SERIOUSLY!


 Finally I can do my advert and review without wearing wig all day long 
(1st photo is with a wig, rest is real hair)

Thank you 76style

p/s: hope I get sponsors on camera and salon D:

[Review ] Kimchi Milky Gold

A very Happy New Year to all my followers and readers!

Sorry I wasn't able to update my blog due to a few things pop up out of a sudden since the week before December. And then I had this very severe food poisoning last week when I was about to do the review shoot!

Then my house interior furniture were being redecorate, so my stuff is all over, usual place that I have my best lighting were all blocks T^T. Background were took off, etc. Sigh, my life is a mess now.


My review pending list is growing very long now but now I finally manage to came up with one of the rare Gold Colored Lens Sponsored by Apples of Your Eyes Facebook.

Sorry Allyson, I know I owe you much. T^T



A piece of cute friendly little note from Allyson for joining their review team.



Allyson is very sweet! She gave me 2 of their cute animal lens casing for christmas !
Thank You Very MUCH Dear~


After unwrapping :
Discount Code for your next purchase discount.
Lens wrap with thick layers of papers for 2nd layer of protection.


I've gotten 2 lens from Allyson but I will be doing them separately in different blog post.
As stated, I will be reviewing Kimchi Milky Gold.





The difference of before and after.

Under indoors Lighting.



Under Natural Outdoor Lighting.





=================================================

Kimchi Gold has a very unique color compare to the other yellow.
The designs are very unique , when you stare at the outcome of lens on your photo. It somehow looks like Kaleidoscope reflections. Very cool and pretty and the same time.

Lens Diameter of 16mm.
Softness : Moderate ( Compare to LuxuryBabe, it's less soft)
Moisture : Good
Color Vivid : 3/5
Comfort: 4/5

I wore it for about 2-3 hours, have not tested out for 6hours yet.
But my eyes are extremely sensitive, if the lens have not given me trouble on the 2nd hour. I am sure it will do fine on normal people :)
