Love Thy Red: Salon Visit and Hair Ritual Experience- TONI&GUY , Punjabi Bagh

Hi Everyone,

On the 22nd of August, I was invited to the Kérastase Experience Day at the Toni&Guy salon in Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi.

Since, my hair was going through a rough patch and I had absolutely no idea how to make them go back to their normal self, I decided to go for the event and get some suggestions and tips from Kérastase experts at the salon on how to manage my hair.

The dual lens of the camera magnifies your scalp 200 times and your hair 1000 times to minutely examine your scalp and hair condition. Based on the concerns identified, the Kérastase Expert will then recommend the most appropriate salon Ritual (hair care treatment)

That white gadget like thing,on top of the box, is the scalp camera!!

Instant conditioning Booster doses: Instant Conditioning for your hair Fibre. A perfect accompaniment to regular services such as haircuts, blow-dry etc.

My Experience:

Once we entered the salon, we were greeted by some wine and hors d'oeuvres. The lighting inside was very ambient and felt fresh.

I was attended by this super sweet hair expert girl whose name was Dorma. If you do happen to visit this particular salon, do ask for her, her hands are very gentle and her massage technique is very relaxing.I tried the Express Ritual which included washing, conditioning, deep conditioning, massage and steam treatment. It roughly took about a little more than 30 mins and the end was absolutely stunning. My hair looked shinier, felt softer and yet the treatment did not weigh down my already limp hair. I have washed my hair numerous times since then and I have to tell you that the shine is still very much there. I was also suggested a hair wash and a hair masque by the Kerastase Expert which I will check out soon.
