Wearing My New Colored Hair Proudly : A Hair Color Makeover With L'Oreal Professionnel & Tony and Jackey

Hello everyone!

So I've mentioned in a couple of my previous posts that I have gotten a new hair color care of L'Oreal Professionnel and Tony and Jackey. I was one of the lucky ones to get invited to participate in L'Oreal Professionnel's Wear Your Color Proud Campaign in which they intend to bring proper consultation and diagnosis between client and hairstylist regarding the best choice of hair color for Filipinas whether she is morena, mestiza or chinita.

My appointment was last Sunday at Tony and Jackey, SM Annex. I was allowed to bring a +1 to get a hair makeover for free as well. I have Isha, my giveaway winner with me that day. :D

This is only my second time availing a service from Tony and Jackey and it's my first time here in SM Annex. The salon was pretty big and it has comfy couches where we waited for an hour or two. Turns out, the salon wasn't informed about our appointment yet. Good thing Isha and I had fun talking about random things! 

Once everything was settled, we were sent to our seat where we will get our crowning glories colored! My area has this built-in monitor where I can watch shows that featured Tony and Jackey. Cool!

This color selection was shown to me so that I can see the range of colors from L'Oreal Professionnel that are available. 

I was eyeing a reddish tone for my hair and I asked my stylist, Ace, if that would suit me.

He picked this shade (the one at the top center) for me! And I completely agreed with him since I was looking at the exact color while looking at the choices!

Of course I had to take my last selfie with my old hair color!

Ace wanted to even out my hair first since I have around 5 inches of "virgin" hair already. So he colored it with the same shade of my previous hair color (golden brown) first.

That's no alien on top of my head! It's a steamer to make the process faster. 

After a few minutes,

Voila! Even hair color!

They dried my hair again then applied the new color!

I'm looking more and more excited!

By this time, my +1 was already done! She had like an opposite Ombre (darker at the bottom). You'll see pictures at the later part of the post.

Isha volunteered to take photos for me. Haha! Thank you! :D

And a few more minutes under the steamer again. :P

And look at that bloody head! Haha! I was crossing my fingers hoping that it will turn out good.

Wash, wash, wash! Only a few more minutes to go!

Then they dried my hair and Ace styled it and this is the final look:

One word: GORGEOUS!!!

I LOVE IT! I really, really do! It reminds me of a chili flavored chocolate—spicy and sweet or is it sugar and spice? Haha! Anyway, I can't stop looking at my hair!

Below you can see before and after pictures of my hair:

My hair looks healthier and shinier too!

I'm so thankful that everything worked out great! I was and still am so happy with my hair! I went shopping after this and I got compliments from most of the stores I went in. I felt really pretty that day. HAHA!

Me posing with Ace, my hairstylist.

I really liked how he was hands on during my session. His hands were light and you can really see that he knows what he was doing. I felt confident that my hair will be alright under his care.

And let's not forget Isha! Here's what her hair looks like after the hair makeover!

Gorgeous, right?

She looks blooming with the new hair color! :D

Isha and her hairstylist, Grace.

More pictures of Isha and I looking happy with our new hair color! :D :D :D

And Helen also scheduled her turn that day too. We were done with our appointment when she arrived but I stayed for a few to do some chitchats.

That's Helen looking serious while thinking of what would probably suit her.

After her hair session, we met up so I could see her new color.

Me with Helen and her +1.

The lighting where we took the photo was too warm but you can view her new hair on her blog soon.

I'd like to thank L'Oreal Professionnel for giving me this privilege to avail this service. I honestly love the outcome and I will probably maintain this color for a long, long while! I sure am a proud... errr... I'm actually torn if I am mestiza/chinita/morena... HAHAHAHA! Can you help me determine what I am? I'm 1/16 Chinese so that's probably out. I'm not dark enough to be morena yet I'm not really mestiza... I'm confused... But I'm a proud Filipina nonetheless and I'm proud of my hair color!

And before I end this post, check out this super awesome offer from L'Oreal Professionnel:

This will be available in the partner salons of L’OrealProfessionnel: Bench Fix Salon; Bang’s Tony & Jackey; Henri Calayag Salon; Philippe Tordjman Le Salon; Regine’s.

Update : My Korean City Hair Style By L'Oreal Professionnel and Tony and Jackey

Hello dears!

Would just like to give you an update on the state of my hair after washing. Last Thursday, I had my hair permed at Tony and Jackey using L'Oreal Professionnel X-Tenso Moisturist.

This is what my hair looked like after the perm:

 This was blow-dried and styled so I was really curious to know if my hair would still look the same after I wash it. I was instructed not to wash my hair for a day.

Anyway, here are pictures of my hair now:

I let it dry naturally and followed the instructions such as only combing it during my shower, while it's still dripping wet, and scrunch it after towel-drying it.

My hair is surprisingly shiny and looks more moisturized than the day I got it permed. The curls are still beautiful. I am honestly more than satisfied. I love my hair! It still needs some good conditioning though. :P

Excuse my makeup in the photos. I was experimenting with eyeliners. Haha! I was even wearing my evening daster on those photos that's why I needed to crop the pics big time. :P

Anyway, I'm very thankful that I got the privilege of getting this service. Thank you very much L'Oreal Professionnel and Tony and Jackey for this!

And if you are interested in availing the services and in getting a Korean City Style as well, here are the three styles again:

With the Korean invasion hitting Philippine shores, it has been inevitable for Filipinos to dabble into anything Korean – from music, fashion, beauty, and whatnot.  As far as beauty is concerned, Filipinos, now more than ever, aspire to pull off how Korean women effortlessly carry distinct hairstyles that showcase luscious curls or fringes, which are equally stylish and edgy, but most importantly healthy and shiny.

With the Korean hair phenomenon amongst us, L’Oreal Professionnel presents the Korean City Style Collection. Inspired by Korea’s top three culturally influential districts, this new collection offers a new set of perms aimed to transform ordinary-looking hair to the much-celebrated Korean tresses. 

Busan Style – An artsy, romantic, and Bohemian vibe Bubble Perm look inspired by the cultural and artistic city of Busan 
(Php 2,800)

Hong Dae Style – a youthful and cute pop perm look inspired by the trendy and funky vibe of Hong Dae. Each trendy style is reflective of the district that has its own distinctive style, from clothes to hair to attitude that would best suit any type of Filipina and her personality.

(Php 2,800)

Gangnam Style- a glamour chic see-through glam perm look that can easily blend into the trendy parts of the city that is inspired by the richest district in Seoul

(Php 8,000)

Get the Korean Look with X-Tenso Moisturist and Dulcia Advanced

The L’Oreal Professionnel Korean City Style hair texture collection highlights the perming technologies of X-Tenso moisturist and Dulcia Advanced to give dull hair a volumized boost. This product duo provides great results through a hybrid technology that smoothens and treats the hair at the same time, thus nourishing every hair fiber without fear of damage.

Dulcia Advanced is the first fortifying long-lasting cold perm with Ionene G technology that targets every hair zone.

Zone A+B, on surface - It fixes to the fiber of the hair and ensures smoothness and helps detangle hair.

Zone C, on hair core - Fixed to the cortex, it restructures the hair fiber to give more flexibility and acts as a tutor for the hair: the curls are easily formed and last longer.

X-tenso Moisturist boasts of an all-new digital hybrid technology that combines two worlds: smoothing and treatment. This rich and creamy formula contains molecules that are capable of smoothing the hair fiber by specifically targeting weakened areas of the hair with negative loading. The advanced technology pampers the hair with deep down nourishment, ensuring softer and silkier results.

Creating beautiful hair though the advanced technologies is not complete without proper maintenance and styling.

Complete three Korean City Style looks with the help of other key L’Oreal Professionnel products.

1. Towel dry hair and blow-dry it with an application of both Mythic Oil and Tecni.art full Volume Mousse to build up the foundation of bouncier looking curls.
2. To provide extra hold for shorter hair, apply Tecni.art Playball Density Material for the idea Busan and Hong Dae Style.
3. For the Gangnam style, add extra hold by spritzing Elnett Spray to lift and hold longer length hair.
4. Finish off the three Korean City Style looks with a pump of Tecni.art Crystal Gloss for added shine.
