Wednesday and Thursday were super fantastic hair days for me. On Wednesday I got some feather hair extensions in my hair and on Thursday my favourite hair salon held a salon open day and hair show at night.
As far as hair extensions go, I ended up getting six extensions (two bundles of three) as I couldn't decide which I liked better. Both bundles, plus installation (I'm not sure if that's the word, but I'm talking about them being put in my hair) cost me a total of $40.00 as each was $19.95. Both bundles have two natural looking feathers and a bright one; one being an aqua/turquoise and the other being a light purple. To the left you can see a photo of my hair with the feathers in it but you can't really see them. Sorry!
You may also notice that my hair colour's changed. Last week I dyed it a dark copper. I really like the colour.
As I mentioned at the start, my favourite hair salon, Hairhouse Warehouse, held an open day on Thursday. I absolutely love this salon. Their service is incredible, their prices are great and the staff are absolutely amazing.
Anyway, as part of the celebrations they were offering their VIP members double points on any purchases made on the day. I need a couple of products so I deicded to wait until double points came into effect. The following products were purchased by me -
- Nin9ty Nin9 Cushion Brush - $18.95
- Redken Real Control Cream Care 250mL - $29.00
- De Lorenzo Nova Fusion Copper Titian (I wanted straight Copper but I couldn't find it) 250mL - $25.95
- Espresso Colouring Conditioner in Copper 200mL - $29.95 or $32.95 (I can't quite remember, sorry!)
As you can see, I bought a couple of products to enhance the colour of my hair and I'm really impressed with them, especially the Espresso conditioner.

As I mentioned, I also attended a Hair Show on Thursday night. The hair show was fantastic. Guests were greeted by the owner of the salon and free champagne, offered canapes and delicious cupcakes and provided with another fabulous goodie bag (even better than the first). After providing the guests with time to eat, drink and mingle, the hair show began!
The hairdressers created some fantastic styles on beautiful models and it was a pleasure to watch.
I'm sure you're dying to know what was in the goodie bag (I know I would be) so let's get into it. I have included a photo above, but the products I found in my bag are listed below -

Best hair week ever! Great scores there & the feathers are so cute! I need to change hair colour in winter, get too pasty...love the look of your copper!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm so jelly with your haircare goodies! And I love your hair colour.
ReplyDeleteI've got the Redken Real Control Cream as well, and I think it's pretty good only when I use it when my hair's damp. I tried it when my hair's dry, and it really weighed my hair down and lots of residue was left.
Hi Sophie I'm looking for a new place 2 buy my products to and service is a big deal to me (i work in retail to) (especially given the freebies you got). Which Hairhouse Warehouse shop did you go to
