The end of Bob hairstyle

I have my bob hair for a good 15 months already. It’s been 4 months since the last hair cut, which was on last February, few days before Chinese New Year. It looked kinda messy and out of the shape now. I decided to have a hair cut today. Then the dilemma came. Should I have short bob hairstyle again or other style to grow it long?

Let’s see why I like bob hair. It is easy to blow dry and style. I won’t feel so hot with such a short hair in such a hot weather. My hair doesn’t fall off that much compare to the time when I had a long hair. People says I looks younger, forever seventeen. :P But, I was quite bore of the look. Besides that, it is the market demand – wanting me to have long hair. :P Macam betul aja.

Pfiuh. It was a tough decision. However, I have decided to leave the era of bob hair and welcoming the era of medium or even long hair. I know, it’s gonna be a hard time while growing from a short hair to a shoulder length hair. Never mind, let it be hard at the beginning but sweet at the end. :P

Kie-Kie-saloon-location

So, I reserved a place at Kie Kie saloon for this afternoon. Yes, it is not first come first serve, reservation is needed for hair cut service. I am glad that I am freelancing now, I can go there anytime I want, even on the weekday. Else, I will need to wait until weekend, which is extremely crowded. It is closed on Sunday though.

Kie-Kie-saloon-medan

I’ve went there to had my hair cut since senior high school. It is a good 6 years. In between that, I had tried other saloons that is cheaper than Kie Kie, both in Medan and KL, but none suits me. In this case, price determines the quality. Really. Cheapo saloons that charge half price or quarter price from KieKie (IDR.60.000-100.000) had a lower quality too, from the way they wash my hair to blow hair to cut hair. Oh my..

The last shot of my sweet bob hair.

Besides that, the hair cut from Kie Kie can last long. Even after a few months, the hair style / look is still there. Bottom line is, I can wear a no branded clothes but I cannot risk having my hair cut at a not well known / new saloon. I am extremely sensitive when it comes to hair.

The price for wash + cut + blow is at IDR.220.000. Most of the customers will give the staffs some tips, at least IDR.5.000. I think I was the stingy and only customer who gave a big egg (read: zero) to them. :P Well, the staff did massaged my hand and even introduced Kerastase tonic at IDR.250.000, cause I have a hair loss problem.

But it turn into a minus point because she kept on persuaded me to buy. Oi, lau niang only brought enough money for the hair cut and transport, no credit card or debit card to use also, how to buy? Other than that, she did the most common mistake in washing hair. The water from the shower kept on ‘jumping’ to my face. I wanna wash hair not face~! -___-”

Alright, save your curiosity of my new hair style for the next entry. :P
