Haircut- Update

Fri, 03 May 2013 00:44:43 +0800

The budget-conscious middle class girl in me took over at last, I guess. Opted for a cheaper salon to cut my hair in (which, ironically, isn’t that cheap, considering it is 4x what I usually spend). May post a couple pictures once my whole Kiko-hair look is done- still need to get it coloured and permed.

One thing about me is that I am a big sucker for beautiful store interiors. Beautiful is of course subjective, and I am not design-trained so I wouldn’t be able to define exactly what a good store design should be like. One thing that really appeals to me, though, is a clean, simple aesthetic. That, to me, is good design (even if other people deem it boring or lazy).

So it is really no surprise that I took a liking to this hair salon.

…

YES IT’S A HAIR SALON.

But at first sight it looks nothing like a hair salon, yes?! It looks like an exhibition space. Maybe a boutique by 3.1 Phillip Lim or a new concept store by Muji. It could be, I don’t know, the residence of Rick Owens, fresh from shedding his prince of darkness persona. The design was birthed from the collaboration of Farm (Singapore) and Isolation Unit (Japan). I like how the salon appears so airy and bright, keeping true to the Japanese principle of kanso.

Even their name reflects the minimalist nature. +LIM. Less is more.

Just by viewing the photos alone tempts me to visit the salon, to see the interior for myself and take a few snapshots. As though further compelling me to give it a try are the numerous positive customer reviews. The price is hefty, at approximately 80SGD for a haircut, but I’ve had this nagging itch for a haircut since couple months ago, and my pay is coming in this weekend, and something really needs to be done about my lifeless hair, perhaps something in the style of Kiko Mizuhara, which the salon would be able to understand and deliver since they’re Japanese too…

I’ve decided that I should drop by Raffles Hotel Arcade to casually pass by the salon. Who knows, I might just finally convince myself to take an additional step inside.

Oh, by the way, this isn’t a review. Although I think I might soon write one…
