WICKERMOSS: HAIR AFFAIR: Autumn Blonde by Salon De Choix.

Autumn Blonde♡ My Hair Affair with Salon De Choix

From Platinum to tadadaah...Autumn Blonde!

Hi hi! As you know I went blonde (platinum) with still my awesome pixie cut courtesy of Salon De Choix Click here if you haven't read it yet, #thankyouverymuch

Being blonde is pretty high maintenance you see, so when I sat down on my fave comfy SDC salon chair I was totally lethargic. "So what's next?" Should I change my hair colour? Retouch or what? Maintain or color overhaul?

So, once again my ever skillful Chester Soh (my personal hair stylist!) came to the rescue. Conversation went on like this:

Chester: So, you wanna lighten or go bolder?
Me: Lighten. Chester: Why?

Me: For some reason, my blonde became really bold wif a capital B (while outdoor); sure do like it (the attention and all,yes vain vain vain!) but this time I want it a tad lighter.

Chester: Okay. Then lighten it up, lez go!

I never even bothered to ask him on what he ought to do. That's because of trust stabilization. As I have mentioned, having a trusty hairstylist is like finding a needle in a haystack. Once you found the one, try your very best to keep him or her.

Guess what Chester Soh gave me this time? >>>> Dimensional blonde baby! Who says blonde is boring? I dunno how he did it but Chester weave about 2-3 types of hair colour and I mad love it! It was a quick transition from summer to fall as my hair is so autumnal, which I frikkin have been dreaming to have for like ages whoop whoop!

The best part? Chester has done a good job in touching up my roots. Have you noticed it's reflection of a honey-reddish shade? It's very visible on the top right pic above!

Apparently, he started the dimensional process from the roots and not just applying the ordinary highlights and lowlights here and there. Fab job for that quick "base bump to warm up my roots."

Chester used “balayage” which is a French highlighting technique for blending multiple colors to create this dimensional and autumnal look. I loved the result as my hair did not turn out to look drabby and flat. I totally fell in love with it's buttery golden color (indoor) and autumnal shade (outdoor) reflects, oh em gee!

If you want to try this unique hair color, check out my hairstylist Chester! He can definitely recommend and higher chances is that with just one but scrutinizing look he already know what is suited for you. Let him check out your eye color, skin tone and face shape of course. These may seem like minor details to some of you but hey, this is where his method would lie and base on. Remember there are certain things we want so badly but we can't just ignore the consequences; hair cut and coloring require special skills.

No amount of branding can sell this word...TRUST.

One ought to earn it and this salon has certainly done it.

*Please note that Chester Soh's rest day is every Monday of the week.

I even remember Chester explaining to me that it might be tough for me to don an ash coloured mane because my hair is thick (or was it thin?). Well, who ever thought that even density of the hair has to be considered when it comes to hair colouring? Beats me but I had no idea before that. Before when I sat on that salon chair, I just blab about which colour I want and most of the time, any other stylist would just say yes. But in the end when you get dissatisfied with the results, they'd give you the "Isn't this what yousaid you wanted look?". That's why I always have to reiterate the trust and an open communication build up between you and your hairstylist. Aside from the discussion of options, there is that breathe of fresh air. No pretensions when it comes to hair people!

As for the cut, loving and rocking my pixie cut still! Thing is , it was cut just right that I wanted it all the time. Same length, same style, same fun and edgy look. I never get tired of rocking a pixie! Yes, pixie and I are very much in love. We can be together for life.. even longer.

Thanks to Chester Soh, Lady Awesome Boss Sharon Wu, and the Salon De Choix fabuloso team!
