Tokio Inkarami Hair Treatment and Hair Color at Nine By Sweet Basil

So here I am again at another Japanese salon. Saw this promotion on jpassport too! 50% off for first time customer for hair services.  This deal is too good to be true and I immediately made an appointment for hair color and Tokio Inkarami hair treatment which I totally love as it really helps my severely damaged hair. The last time i did this treatment was 4 months back and the effect really lasts for at least 2 months and my hair never gone back to it's worst dry state before I did this treatment at all! I have been using the Tokio Outkarami treatment oil too which really helps in maintaining my hair condition. Needless to say, the best thing I enjoyed in a Japanese salon is the top notch service provided from the time I stepped into the salon to the time I left.  Masa was my hair stylist that day, his service was excellent and he was very gentle to my hair. He discussed with me on what color I wanted first. I told him that I cannot stand hair color with ammonia...

Tokio Inkarami hair treatment experience at BumpRV

I had bleached my hair in Oct last year which caused my hair to be very dry and brittle. I dunno what's wrong with me, I damaged my hair further when I perm it in Mar this year. After the bleach and perm, my hair was very rough and it tangles when I comb. I urgently need some really good and effective treatment to save my hair! I researched online and saw people raving about Tokio Inkarami treatment. Through the app Jpassport, I saw some Japanese salon having 20% discount. I chose BumpRV based on the good reviews and the reasonable price. The Tokio Inkarami treatment was priced at $160, after 20% discount, it's only $130+ (inclusive of GST). I made an appointment immediately. My hair stylist was Konomi, although  her english was limited, she was polite and all smiley, which made my visit a pleasant one. Worried about communication? There's a receptionist who can help with the translation. When Konomi saw my hair, she knew my hair was badly damaged and assured me that ...

Vegetarian 6 course lunch at Joie by Dozo

Few years back we were amazed by the food and service we had at Dozo River Valley but it was closed subsequently. It was recently that we found Joie by Dozo. It's now a vegetarian restaurant. Same as many people, we got the impression that it was not worth the same price as their predecessor who served meat in their courses. However, we were blown away with this vegetarian experience! Service was great as usual, the service staff takes pride in explaining each course served. Free flow flower tea were served once we sat. Hubby and I chose different dishes on the menu for each course so that we can have more varieties. For a start, we were served complimentary pre-meal drink - passion fruit and plum ice blended. The waiter explained that this can help to clear our palette for the several courses later. Starter: chef selection of assorted platter  The waitress advised that we eat the middle first, then the right one and finally the left one.  Middle one...

4D3N Cruise with Royal Carribean (Mariner of the Seas)

This was my first cruise and I chose Royal Carribean (RC) because I have heard good reviews of RC and also because I came across a road show at Punggol Waterwaypoint and the price was quite reasonable. As this was my first time on a cruise trip and I'm bringing parents as well, I wanna ensure that everything went smoothly and I did not miss out anything. I did some homework and here I'll share some things to note for first timers. - A month plus before the sail date, RC sent an email to me to ask me to do online check in for all passengers. Online check in was to be done at least 4 days before the sail date. At the last part of the online check in, they will ask if you wanted to provide your credit card details to link your Seapass card. I didn't want to provide my credit card details at this junction, hence, I chose cash first. On the sail date when I reached the Cruise Terminal, I then passed my credit card to the staff at the check in counter to link to the Seapass c...
