Winter is almost upon us and that usually means a change of hair colour for me. Now I have forever dyed my hair using 'box dyes' as its straightforward and easy. I've only ever had my hair professionally dyes once and that was here in Muscat and I ended up dyeing it again after 4 weeks. So I was eyeing up a violet/plum box dye when I was decided to look at the Muscat Beauty and Spa Forum on Facebook for some salon recommendations.
The Background: So I went for two hair consultations, one at Vibes and the other at Gorgeous Hair and whilst both stylists were helpful I didn't get a good enough feeling. Then I came across Misan and decided to message the salon. She was very prompt and got back to me with a useful, kind and friendly response. I took the plunge and decided to book an appointment which was initially for a colour. Later on, I decided it would be better if I opted for a cut too as it just made more sense!
The Review: Maria, who is a hairdresser/stylist from Sweden was warm and welcoming. Her salon is housed on the ground floor of a villa and is very clean, modern and welcoming. She was lovely and we clicked straight away and were chatting about everything and anything! Maria offered me Swedish coffee, a glass of water and a date. On the side table were a selection of magazines that I had a nosey at. I like how she opted for simple set up in her salon as the focus should be on the client not so much the decor.
Initially she assessed my hair and asked my what I wanted to change. She was very nice with how she advised me about how she will carry it out and also explained the process of dyeing my hair. Now, not many hairdressers do that these days!
After she got to work on bleaching sections of my hair, then I waited for a while. Next she washed it out and applied the colour. Again, I had to wait a while for the dye to lock into my hair. Then she washed it out and began to cut my hair. I felt very relaxed and was confident she would dye and cut my hair as best she could.
The Rating: 10/10! Even though the whole appointment took 4 hours which was super long after a day's work, it was actually quite relaxing. I was pleased with the cut. She layered it and made it feel lighter and also cut in a side fringe. The colour looked refreshing but I saw it properly the next day when the sun was out. It was what I asked for and my hair felt amazing afterwards.
I would definitely recommend Maria to colour and cut your hair. She also does a wash and blow dry too if you're feeling lazy to style your hair!
