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

To those who are reading this blog entry right now, Thank you for all of your support. 

We all know that Singapore are going through tough times right now. But that's life. Joel Ostend once said "'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events." Even though most of us are stuck at our homes right now, some of us still put in hard work in our craft. We constantly uses these times to reflect on ourselves as we wish to improve on our very own sets of skills. Times like this are very rare as we usually got distracted by a tons of other stuff but right now, it's time to focus on the things you really set to achieve long time ago. 

Despite the short time in the salon, I really appreciate all our Stylists,Assistant and as well as our Receptionist for their patience and their big heart. They had been growing and nurturing me in all aspects in life. Like most of you were already aware that our stylists really worked their ass off to provide a better environment and services. Constantly delivering promised result and obtaining achievements via their workmanship. It really inspire me a lot at the end of every working day to see how they make a difference in another human. 

"Blessed are the hairstylists, for they bring out the beauty in others" 
-Vidal Sassoon.

For me personally, the working of hair is architecture with a human element. The architects in our salon is so far the best I've seen. Some people might argue that it's hard to build a house with mud and soil while some says it's harder to design the house for us to stay. But from what I see, the most difficult thing in life will be making plans and progress to achieve what you're set to achieve at first! Planning is essential and important! 

If you haven't book your next haircut appointments with us, please do so! All of us are very eager to serve all of our customers again! See you guys soon!

By the way, this is Kenneth from Hair Salon Tokyo MICAELA writing! Cheers!

 

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!)

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
