When I stepped into Leekaja Hair Salon, I wasn’t only preparing to get my hair treated, I felt like I was living a lifestyle. With a rustic botanical style that screams nature in your face, I almost mistaken the hair salon for a floral themed cafe.
Unlike the usual hair salons where you enter with only one purpose to get your hair done, Leekaja Hair Salon provided me with a unique and luxurious spa-like experience.
Ambience
Decked in wooden furnishing with vines and greenery, the ambience is fantastic especially if you are into the rustic and floral theme. Hands down, this is my favorite salon so far!
If you have booked for a Director’s service, you can even enjoy more exclusivity and privacy at a separate corner.
Consultation
At the lounge area, a short and professional consultation was provided to better understand my needs and requirement. My hairdresser Jun asked me for some photos of the hairstyles I wanted. Instead of overcommitting to any hairstyles I showed, he explained that the curls shown in the photo were not created by perming. And he suggested more realistic and natural perm styles that suited my look. He also went through the details of the type of perm and treatment.
He suggested Magic Setting (starting from $300) and Tokio Inkarami Treatment (starting from $240).
Treatment Process
Magic Setting is a process which includes both rebonding and Setting perm. My hair has always been quite frizzy and rough, hence the rebonding smoothens my hair on the top but gives me the S curl at the bottom for more volume. I initially wanted something with more curls but Jun suggested giving me a more natural and wavy hairstyle which could last equally long.
The Tokio Inkarami Treatment is a 5-step treatment to protect the hair from chemical damage caused by the perm. It tames the damaged and frizzy hair, and leaves your hair soft and shiny. My hair ends are badly damaged due to bad hair care and regular perming for the last few years.
I love it when salons provide me with a drinks menu instead of just offering the usual tea/plain water. They had a rather wide variety of drinks so much that I felt like I was in a cafe (again).
Leekaja Hair Salon has their very own barista section to serve customers (and the customer’s friends/family members who are patiently waiting at the lounge). To my surprise, some pastries and a banana was served to me as well. Food makes a 3 hour process a lot more bearable!
Jun was very friendly and patient throughout my haircut and treatment. He also gave me haircare advices to maintain good hair condition.
BEFORE
Before visiting Leekaja Hair Salon, my hair was very dry and frizzy with grass-like hair ends. As I haven’t had a hair cut in quite awhile, the weight is also causing my hair to be very flat on the top. Most of the curls from the previous perm has also become non-existent. Shampooing my hair has always been a really frustrating thing to do because my hair would get tangled everywhere.
AFTER
I told Jun to cut off quite a bit of my hair as it usually grows very quickly and I also wanted to clear the split ends. The perm turned out wavy rather than curly style which is more natural-looking, and I’m loving it! Most importantly, my hair felt REALLY smooth and soft, and I haven’t felt this texture in a long time.
After trying several hair treatments from other hair salons, the Tokio Inkarami Treatment from Leekaja Hair Salon is really one of the best! Let’s just say that I can’t stop harassing my hair for the next few days…
Other Services
If you are looking for a variety of pampering services, Leekaja Hair Salon also offers other treatments such as manicure, pedicure, and head spa treatments.
P.S. I’m so in love with every corner of their salon!
Leekaja Hair Salon definitely offers something more than just their effective treatments. With their excellent service and great ambience (especially if you fancy botanic theme like me), you get to really enjoy the full pampering and luxurious experience. While their pricing is towards mid-high end range, you get what you pay for. And I assure you, it’s gonna be worth it.
