Top Passion @ Tropicana City Mall

Wednesday, 5th December 2012.

My friend Lina and I discovered Top Passion via Groupon, the offer was RM59 each for Cut+Wash+Hair Spa+Scalp Treatment. We bought the 2-person promotion in order to get RM59 each, or else it's slightly more expensive. We were given two outlets to choose from, Tropicana City Mall and One Utama, we chose Tropicana.

Before actually trying this place out, I somehow had a good feeling about this salon, about how this might be my future salon. I've been searching for a salon that's affordable and good and looks like i've finally found it. :)

Sometimes we see discount vouchers from those sites like Groupon, there are some that are really cheap but location wise is in KL City, a place I dislike going cause of the jam. I was feeling tired of thinking where to get a hair cut whenever I need one. Thanks to Groupon, I've found my hair salon. :)

After our hair cut, we were brought to the back to wash our hair. They washed our hair twice because of the scalp treatment. First with normal shampoo, then with their herbal shampoo for scalp detox. I love the herbal shampoo as it smells and feels very ice minty. <3 If you're wondering how was the hair wash, I would rate 2.5/5 because personally for me it was a little rough. When I wash my hair I'm often very gentle, and especially when your hair is long, damaged and tangled it can be very painful when not gentle. But the hair stylist told me I have to inform them when it hurts so they will be more gentle, i'll do that at my next scalp treatment in January then. :)

In this picture, the lady is applying the treatment for the scalp. Love this too because the sensation was icy minty cold. After application they would rub the treatment and massage your scalp for better absorption.

Hair spa, they apply the hair mask onto my hair. Unlike conditioner, they applied thoroughly by separating my hair into small sections and made sure all of my hair have been thoroughly applied with the hair mask.

After the application of scalp treatment and hair mask they put this band thing at the front of my head. Honestly I don't know what this is for, if you do please let me know. :)

My head is in the steam! For the first few minutes I could not feel the heat because of the scalp treatment. The minty icy cooling feel was really strong until I could not feel the heat from the steam until much later on.

After rinsing my hair, it was time to dry and style it. Honestly I think they should be more gentle when drying the hair, using the round comb and kept combing the same area for countless times have hurt my scalp a little. :/ But not too big of an issue, will just inform them the next time. Another thing I don't really like is how they comb my hair flat instead of creating some waves at the top from the beginning.

Lina was done earlier than me because the hair stylist cut both of our hairs, she cut hers first then mine. Look at Lina's hair now, compare this picture with the picture above, can see her hair is so much smoother and less frizzy as compared to before.

When we left the salon, we went to the bathroom and stared cam whoring which I haven't really done in a while. :p. Please tolerate the last few pictures here. :)

My hair has been so smooth throughout the night and the following day and that felt wonderful. I've not felt my hair this way for a very long time since I started dying them regularly. We were given 20% off because of the Groupon voucher so Lina and I bought the scalp treatment! RM96 after 20%, normal price is RM120 which I feel is quite reasonable for scalp treatment. I love scalp treatments. :)

Here's the pricing, OCS means organic or herbal. For normal scalp treatment they use Bonacure.

That's about it, to conclude I would say this salon by far is pretty decent. I like the way my hair stylist cut my hair and will most probably go back to them for a hair cut, and as for scalp treatment, if there's any where else that's cheaper then i might go for the cheaper one. Even so I will come back here again for my hair cut and probably by the same stylist, Sophia Chan.
