Monsoon Makeover & Contest | Juice Salon

Usually, I opt for a haircut only twice a year (April & September). And if I want the length of my hair to grow well, I will only opt for occasional trims and trust my stylist to add some magic by tweaking the hairstyle a bit. Oh! And I can be very fussy when it comes to choosing the right hair stylist. I have had the same stylist for years now and honestly, I get very skeptical when it comes to any form of hair makeovers with other stylists. So, when Juice Salon approached me to get a fun monsoon makeover, I wasn't too sure about it. But my team (especially Dhwanika, who takes care of Administration) kept insisting that I just get a little change of style. Eventually, I gave into their demands and agreed to get a mini monsoon makeover with Juice Salon. Now that my stylist is traveling for a month with a film crew, it was the right time for me to review the services at Juice (I have always loved the LYN and French pedicure here).

Oh! And we also have an exciting contest waiting for you at the end of this post.

The folks at Juice (Khar) had booked my appointment with their stylist Ronnie, who was extremely warm and a great listener. Minutes after exchanging hugs and greetings, we got down to work. Ronnie began by understanding my lifestyle and how I wear my hair (I mostly leave it open, except during workouts, run and dance rehearsals). Then, she began the 3-step hair inspection, when included inspecting the scalp, hair texture and checking for hair issues, if any. Currently, I am facing the same problem as most Mumbaikars - major residue build up due to the heat and humidity. Plus, if my workout hours increase, the residue builds up all the more. Ronnie took all the details into consideration and informed that I had a normal scalp and well maintained hair. She added that with a small change of style (I told her that I didn't want to cut off the length), she will chop off the dead ends and ensure that my hair looks healthy. Well, that's all I wanted and with that, we started off with the hair wash and conditioning process. Since she knew about my hectic lifestyle, Ronnie ensured that she adds a 10 minute long massage during the conditioning process. It was perfect, since I had a long working day.

After the wash, Ronnie began by getting rid of the dead ends and once done, she started work on getting the front layers right. Then, she moved on to the side bangs and within minutes, my mini makeover was done. Ronnie asked if I wanted any particular look (curls, straight) and I asked her to keep it simple and sleek. And there you go! A quick blowdry, leave-in serum and my new monsoon hairstyle was ready. Ronnie loved how the side bangs looked on me and said, "Next time, you should get fringes done in the front. You will look adorable." Well, maybe, I will give that a try in the future for sure.
