Japanese Hair salon in Singapore <Hair Salon MICHAELA in Singapore>

Good day! This receptionist Clara from Hair Salon Tokyo MICHAELA.

Colored hair is like a visual art canvas that you carry around where you go in all styles, it becomes part of your image that people perceive. Be it that classic brown or the purple hair that your friends admire so much. Color itself draws inspiration and also leaves a stronger impression on others.
 

                                           

Colours done on bleached hair do not last, fading out even faster with frequent washes. Especially in Singapore, the hot and humid weather leaves room for no choice for daily washes. So the newly colored locks may just very well last through a month or less. At the end, the yellow, orange, red tones we all tell the stylist we dislike becomes ever so prominent that makes you want to get a new color so bad.

 

Color pigment molecules sizes vary according to color and with the biggest in size occurring in the color red, it simply makes it much easier for it to come off during perspiration or even just a hair wash. If you are planning to go red for your next color, do not wear a white top as the color from your hair will leave a stain on the fabric. Do take care of your pillow sheets too. 

Perhaps some have tried color shampoo or color treatment to refresh the hair color. In MICHAELA, some customers who just had their hair colored (without bleach) were curious about the color shampoo/treatment on our product shelf.

Truth is, color pigmented shampoo and treatment would be recommended to use on bleached hair. For them they would benefit more using these products. On the classic brown unbleached hair whether warm-toned or cool-toned, only a certain amount of pigment depending on the type of color product and lightness of the hair, will be transferred onto the hair, visible upon close sight, not obvious from a meter's glance. This added color I feel only lasts for about 2 days and gone with the usual hairwashes. And for black hair, no change in color, the product will just be a regular shampoo or treatment.

Hello everyone. This is Satoko from Tokyo Michaela hairsalon..
How are you?

In the morning 5:30 I woke up early with enthusiasm to do some yoga.
But, I realize, the online time notation is in Japanese time!
So that has already ended.
​​​​​​
By the way, take heart, today I will like to share with you the color change of my hair.
​​​​​​
Last year in May as soon as I came to Singapore, I had a hair color done on my hair in MICHAELA.
My hair had received a bit of damage from UV rays, so if my hair is bright color, my hair will look damaged and not healthy. That's why my hair is almost calm color (toned-down?),  it seems to look healthy. 
After that my hair color continues to be of a dark color for a while.
​​​​​​
But nowadays, suddenly I would like to change the hair color to super bright.
However that day my working salon is close so I went to another salon.

If until I find my ideal color would need to take a little time, so that gets me excited for my hair color the next time. 
I had finally changed a high tone color after a long time.

Normally our skin color is different from each other.

​​​​​So, not all the hair color are suitable for us, even if the color is in trend.
We can decide with each other on whether the hair color is suitable or not.
It is common for some to be not able to imagine what hair color is suitable for themselves.
​​​​​​
So let us know if you can't decide whether the hair color suitable for you or not, and of course anything else about hair style. In this case, if you don't have any opinion, I can decide with you the hair colour. 
We willing to help you as much as possible.
After had a color, I almost would not forget to dye my eyebrows.
It is very important for me!!
Thank you.

To review shampoo that I usually no practice.
Everyday I consider
 salons do not have any time to deliver a pleasant
feeling tocustomers other than shampoo.

Actually I feel basic things are most important things
Shampoo are basic things for hairdresser.
The guy who is poor a shampoo is poor at the cut!
I can't forget this word from my seniors.

We  have good  hair assistant in Michaela. 
Because I don't do shampoo with customer ,usually

After all, I want you to make happy with  our shampoo.

Hello! I’ve been a hair stylist in Hair Salon Tokyo MICHAELA from it was born and people call me Kenta .
In this blog entry, I will write about a hair style at I’ve customized for our very own regular customer.
There will be photos before for all y’all reference just in case anyone of you wants to have that design as well!
I sincerely hope these blog entries will help with you in talking care of your hair!
Whenever a customer appointments me as their lead hair stylist, I always give my best to bring out our customers charm. Going an extra mile for the customer, I will figure out one’s beauty with suitable hairstyles catering to their very self. These are the kind of skills that I’ve trained to become, that kind of person.

Before pictures





Current condition 
After analyzing her hair, I found out that she’s having trouble with the volume of her hair due to the fine straight hairs that she inherited. Besides that, she does have sharp looking face line and her facial features are defined as well.
Without her fringe, it tends to make her look mature than she suppose to.

Despite consulting her and gave her my professional recommendation, I ought to let her know that her thinking is the priority. It doesn’t matter what my recommendation is, after all it’s what she likes. What kind of person she wants to be or rather I should say, what kind of impression she wants to portray herself. Such as pulling off a cute,sweet,feminine look? Or a cool and elegant look.
I often ask customer this particular question:”Do you have any specific imagines for your appearance?”

Her wants 
However, she’s up for new hairstyles! She even dared me to freestyle her hair as long as she looks good but not too young!

"Okay I usderstood, leave it to me! I'll do my best to make you pretty!!"

That is my favorite sentence!

We’ll proceed with doing  MICHAELA　SIGNATURE　PERM .
Here we go!

After!


 

Konnichiwa Everyone！
I am the manager of Hair Salon Tokyo Michaela, Kenta Nagatsuka★

As we have annouced on our news section, blog, SNS accounts and SMS messages,we will be temporarily closed from 7 Apr to 4 May 2020.

Making our customers happy and satified is the mission of a stylist.
This is our aim to be a stylist that people commented 'You can't go wrong with this stylist '.


"Why are we temporarily closed？"

We also did not expect this situation before COVID-19 keep spreading in Singapore.
According to the latest goverment regulation, only hair cut services can be provided in a hair salon.






We always put our customers at the first place before anything as always.

Of course we have faced some external resistance to hindering our operation before.

For example, when earthquakes happened in Japan and rainstorms in Singapore.

We always face it and go through the crises with our smile.

However, this seems a different challenge when comparing to the past.

This is not a natural disaster but a communicable disease , and "stay home" for such a long period of time  is something I have never experienced in my life.


And we also care about the happiness of our staff as important as the customers

I think that our staff is being taken with warm care though we've only been working for a year and a half.

If we continue our daily operation, our staff may need to take the risk to get infected when travelling to work or home.

And most importantly everyone is also not advised to go outside according to the government suggestions.

If anyone of us get infected......

No matter our staff or customers won't be happy


It will be a tough road for those who have been gone through all these

Our staff also won't have the peace of mind to perform their job duties.

Therfore we have a discussion with our owner Mr.Nakanishi and decided to close temporailiy.

"Will our customers going to leave us after we announced?"

Of course we are having such worries.


But we always believe in our valued customers

and also believe in ourselves!

We try everything we can do and just believe in ourselves!

Sometimes I will laugh alone when I think of the chat I had with all of you.

We will work hard to further improve our services and aim to provide an even happier experience to you after the qurantine period is over!

I have been working as a hair stylist for more than 10 years and I have never experienced such a long "holiday" (Don't worry, I am still practising during the qurantine time.）

I am still not used to days like this as a workaholic. However, this maybe the time for me to think about myself and listen to the thoughts of our staff and customers



We understand that male customers may have very uneasy days if they can't have their hair cut for 1 month.
We look forward to seeing you in a healthy environment in the future!

Manager　Kenta
