Hello, this is receptionist Clara from Hair Salon Tokyo MICHAELA.

Did you know, at MICHAELA, we provide not only English but Japanese hardcopy magazines for both men and women?

In Singapore, the only place that carries a wide range of Japanese magazines would be Kinokuniya Bookstore. And sadly, Kinokuniya stores are closed like MICHAELA as part of the ongoing Circuit breaker till 4th May until further notice. But they do have their webstore open!

Today's topic will be about 6 Japanese womens magazines that we MICHAELA subscribe to monthly.

With today's technology, everything is more convenient. Language barrier is no more a problem when you can now translate web pages on the spot via Google Chrome browser. (But only for online contents, not the scans!)

What I learn in the service

The moment I opened my eyes and breathed the air, I knew it was a good day beginning . I ’m Carol from Hair Salon Tokyo Michaela. I still want to share these two short sentences with you here. This short sentence is simple but makes me understand a lot. This short sentence has “don’t worry about what everyone else is doing; focus on what you can do to sustain an ecosystem that is centered on satisfying every customer's need "

and the short sentence inside it made me understand that a job is not to follow what others do and you have to change it, but to understand your customer needs to do change. There is also a short sentence "don't dress for the job you have, dress for the one you want"

but it made me understand that not to serve because of workmanship but to do what I want to serve on my work , so in working will not feel very tired and stressful.

Wish everyone have a good day,
Thank you.

Good morning. This is Satoko from Tokyo Michaela hairsalon.
How are you?
It seems cloudy today. As far as I'm concerned it is just right when I have a cup of coffee.
To me the cloudy sky and a cup of coffee is the best feeling. The cloudy skies allowed me to be more focused from the aroma of the coffee rather than a clear sky.

As yesterday was my day off so I went to do some grocery shopping and also I went to the coffee shop.
I recharge by drinking a cup of coffee every day.
But at the last moment I was not sure what kind of coff I should buy. So I decided to judge by appearance. I chose the yellow package, actually this has been a thing of mine since a long time ago, the yellow color makes me feel better.

After that I drank a cup of coffee As soon as l got home...
Ummm. The taste is pretty nice!!

To be honest sometimes I buy new things just out of feeling.
As though seeking a new discovery.
Things you already know of value doesn't fail, but it doesn't broaden your world and horizon.
By discovering a whole new world, you might know the value of what you have been till now and you can compare the old one with the new one. It might be fun you can consider deeply about the worth of things.
That's why I try not to make blind assumptions about oneself and sometimes I'm embarking on the adventure of seeking new worth for me.

The same is true of the product shampoo or treatment
for example,
Normally you have no concerns about products you use because it is better and suitable than another kind. However you might want to try out the other different types of hair products on purpose. Only then you may be able to discover a new feeling that you will come to know ever better about your hair and get used to handling it as well.
It is difficult to know one's ownself but if you can bellow inspiration from another place it might be found easily.
Anyway, today my recommendation for shampoo is from IAU.

This is a shampoo specially for curly hair.
The fragrance is so adorable though it might be strange but I thought this expression is very suitable to describe
The liquid texture is smooth and lathers well. For curly hair if a shampoo is moisturising it may not reach the roots, and can not wash the scalps well and furthermore the roots and hair will get entangled.
So that's why IAU is a specially formulated shampoo for curly hair.
To provide a shampoo which has a retaining property of moisture into hair. But leaving the scalps feel fresh and clean.
And after drying the hair will be anti - frizzy.

If you are interested in IAU shampoo, please let me know. I will try it on your hair when I wash.

After this time I'd like to share with you something great like this again.
Please look forward to the next time.
See you.

Satoko

My hairdressing industry

The sun enters the room through the curtains, and the moment the eyes are opened, the beautiful day begins again. Good morning. This is Carol from Hair Salon Tokyo Michaela. Today I want to share with you the interesting facts of my hairdressing industry. I did not have any interest in hair at first. At that time, I was more interested in design when I graduated, but because my grades did not go to some universities, otherwise it was the tuition of other universities, the cost is relatively expensive. In the end, I originally planned to directly I came out to work in the society, but my family told me that it is better to learn craftsmanship, at least I will not know what I want to do in the future, and finally I also chose the hairdressing industry, learning to learn more and more interested in the hairdressing industry. Let me understand that the original hairdressing industry can also be related to design. It also slowly completed the college and successfully graduated. Soon afterwards, the society officially entered the hairdressing industry. In this industry, I understand that it is not enough to learn, because fashion is this thing forever. Keeping advanced is to keep learning such as dyeing hair because it can have different changes, such as highlight, ombre, normal colour, etc.

Finally, here I want to tell you that even if you ca n’t enter the industry you want to enter, you can still find something that interests you from your current work, and you have to keep learning. I am also glad that I did n’t give up my haircut. industry.

Thank you.

Haircare: Hair Oils in MICHAELA

Hello, this is receptionist Clara from Hair Salon Tokyo MICHAELA.

Today's topic will be about hair serum, hair oils.

These leave-in products that come in all sorts of fragrances due to the different active oil ingredients. It functions like a moisturizer or heat protectant from the time it has been washed and dried or sometimes used similarly as that of a hand cream applied at times to prevent dryness of the skin.

Can be applied on both wet hair and dry hair. Particularly after towel drying, on detangled hair and after blow drying in a small amount.

Depending on the amount of hair, a fifty cent coin size(about a 1 and a half pump) in the centre of the palm is sufficient for damp hair, while half a pump on dry hair. Start off with a small amount first before adding more if necessary.

Let's now take a look at the oils available at MICHAELA
