Azta Urban Salon - MLV Hair Color

About a week ago I attempted to color my hair on my own, but it didn't give me the "transformation" I wanted. The only reason why I didn't want to go to a salon and have my hair fixed is because of my limited budget, so I was thrilled when I found this online:

This was posted in Azta Urban Salon's Facebook page. I stumbled upon the page after Archon Cris and I chatted about hair coloring last Sunday and decided to search for salons with promos. It was perfect, we thought, as that day was the last day for making appointments for the promo. We set an appointment with Azta Katipunan for the following day.

Unfortunately, Cris couldn't make it because she had Jessup training, so I ended up going there by myself.

I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and was made to wait for a while. I was assigned to Mr. Ed (Stylist) and Ms. Car (Assistant). Ed asked me which shade I preferred. 

MLV Color Swatches

I explained to him that I wanted something that would make me look "mabait", as my dark, thick hair made my mataray features more mataray. He recommended the shade "Light Golden Mahogany Blonde" to me. I just decided to trust his judgment.

I actually did a little research on this MLV hair coloring product. I wondered why it was cheaper. The product, according to the blogs I've read is from Taiwan and is relatively new. It's supposed to be more fragrant (without the smell of ammonia) and gentle (no sting) as compared to other hair coloring products.

 They even applied it on my eyebrows!

I'd have to say that I do not agree with the other blogs. I did smell the ammonia in the product my skin did sting a little, but the odor and the sting didn't really bother me that much, so it's okay.

 My hair being blown dry

 Finished!

I also had my hair trimmed by the way. I'd have to say, Ed and Car worked efficiently, and they were friendly, but not too friendly. They didn't force me to have an endless conversation with them, but they accommodated all my questions about the process. The hair coloring, trim, and blow dry was finished in about two hours. Considering that I have very thick hair, this was quick! There was a time when a stylist took a whole hour just to dry my hair. Even if they were quick, though, I didn't feel like they were rushing things. I also liked that they offered me a complimentary drink. I had their milk tea, and it was good!

After I was finished, they handed me this maintenance recommendation slip:

I like how they gave me the number of my stylist so I could contact him if ever I had any concerns. I was also relieved because they recommended products to me through this slip instead of cornering me during payment (like other salons).

I asked the receptionist (sorry I didn't get her name) to take a picture of me but my phone camera didn't quite capture how my hair looks like in the mirror. I really should get a phone with a better camera, I know.

I took this picture at home with my Sony Cybershot. I like how my hair turned out <3 p="">

The treatment cost me Php 1,175.00 (1,650 MLV hair color + 300 extra tube + 200 haircut - 975 discount).

I'd have to observe my hair for a couple of weeks before I give my final verdict, but based on the price and the quality of service, I would definitely recommend Azta Urban Salon's MLV Hair Color treatment to my friends. :)

Mercies in disguise

We sang this at the Feast earlier and the words really touched me. I just wanted to share this with everyone :)

"Blessings"

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

And all the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your word is not enough
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not,
This is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise

Do you like my nails? :D

I put the nail polish on myself, my first attempt at self-nail-polishing! (Is that even a term?)

I used Wet n' Wild  Party of Five Glitter, and a clear coat on top. I apologize for the sucky pictures. As you can see, I tried taking a picture under different light conditions, but I guess my phone camera just isn't good for blogging. Hehe.

I'd like to learn how to put on makeup myself too. Parlor services are getting more expensive. But I have to buy some makeup first! I don't have any. So... if you have any recommendations on which makeup stuff I could start with, let me know :)

2012 Bar Results are out!

I have mixed feelings. Happiness, sadness, but most of all, PRESSURE!

Congratulations to all who passed! To those who didn't, don't give up! Pagsubok lang yan! Let's study our asses off and take the bar this October together! :)

Ortigas, and friends :)

I like it when things work out, and I like it when I randomly bump into friends, so today is a happy day for me :)

I had a date planned with Mother Jeff after work in Podium. Bong stopped by the office to finish up some business. He had to go to Shang after so we decided to go to Ortigas together.

We took the bus, and along the way we updated each other on what's up with our lives (It's been like what, a weekend since he resigned? haha). Anyway, I found it interesting that we were again, going through similar stuff. I enjoyed our chat.

We went to Megamall first, Bong wanted cupcakes, but then he saw this: 

We got mochi! Thank you Bong for the treat ^_^ I had the chocolate mousse flavor. I think Bong got the red bean flavor. I wanted to get the green tea but they were out. Oh well, next time. I liked the one I got anyway. The ice cream inside really had a mousse-y consistency :)

After that we parted ways and I went ahead to Podium. While waiting for Mother, I ran into a sister, Car '10. She worked nearby, and was there to pay her bill in Globe. She seems to be enjoying her new job and I'm happy for her :)

Afterwards, I met with Mother in Cafe Mediterranean :)

Jeff A. 

I love, love, love this person! And I missed him sooooo much! He just came from Europe where he took his Masters in Visual Art (not sure of the title sorry! but something like that). He told me about his amazing experience there. He had a full load for the year but he was still able to squeeze in some culture absorption during his stay there. He was also able to become a publisher, AND publish his own book. Grabe. Idol talaga :)

I got a copy of his book BTW. It's a compilation of love poems. I look forward to reading it :)

 Me and my food

While we were chatting we saw Ate Kring buying cupcakes outside. Yey! She had to leave though, as she had plans. I hope we could catch up soon :)

After some good food and good laughs, Mother went home, and then I met with another friend, Bo. He was studying in Starbucks.

We mostly talked about his plans for Yale. Jeff and Bo really inspired me to want to do LLM in either London or NY. I want to!!!! But I have to take the bar first, and get a job, and then apply for LLM. I'm so excited!!!

On my way home, I ran into another friend, Jobo. So all in all, I met/ran into with 6 friends today. Happy day :)

Good night, guys! :)

My first attempt at hair coloring! :D

Soooo I've been wanting to color my hair for the longest time but I wasn't exactly willing to shell out the money for a salon treatment, so I decided to try out doing it myself. :D 

I bought Kolours in Burgundy from the grocery. It cost me about Php 250. My other options were L'oreal (Php 450), Revlon (Php 500) and Garnier (Php 350). What sold me on this choice was its price and the fact that the box said that it's designed for Asian hair, which is darker and more resistant to color. I've had difficulty coloring my hair before so this was a plus factor. Also, I liked that on the top of the box it showed the expected effect of the treatment if you have "virgin" hair and if you have already treated hair.

Kolours in Burgundy

The instructions were simple and the box had everything I needed in it: the chemicals, a squeeze bottle and even plastic gloves. Okay, maybe not everything. It would have been more convenient if I had hair clips and an applicator comb thingy but I was so excited that I decided to do without them. :))

The box, instruction sheet, after-treatment conditioner, gloves, color tube, squeeze bottle

This is me before the treatment:

So I put the content of the color tube into the squeeze bottle

Then I shook it so that the chemicals would mix together

And then I applied this mixture to my hair. I did so while wearing the gloves and I used a comb so I could even out the application. I had a hard time doing this, so I wasn't able to take any pictures during this stage :p

Afterwards, I waited for about an hour to let the mixture set in my hair.  The instructions said to leave it on for 30 minutes, plus 15 more MAX if I wanted a lighter color, but I had to eat dinner so I exceeded the time. Thankfully, my hair wasn't damaged. I rinsed it off and then put on the conditioner, and rinsed that off after about 20 minutes.

This is what my hair looked like after:

Sorry for the bad picture, I used my phone camera. Can you see the difference? Didn't use flash because it doesn't show the color.

 See what I mean?  In the mirror my hair looks brown but the camera flash somehow messes that up.

Close up shot of my hair

Honestly, I expected the result to be more obvious. The color only shows under some light. My friend tells me this might be because my hair is untreated. I was going for a lighter shade, So I might try this again after a few weeks with a lighter shade. 

Bye bye Bong!

Today is my good friend Bong's last day in DA.

This is Bong with his pakwan from Pancho

We had a despedida inuman last night in Central. I didn't get to stay long though.

Me and Bong in Central

The FMR Trio! Bong, me, and Glenda :)

We also had a merienda pakain for him in the office today.

DA STaff in the Small Con

I'm sad he's leaving :( 

After work, Bong and Glenda talked me into watching It Must Be Love (?). It wasn't that bad, hehe.

 Bong and I at the movies

I will surely miss Bong. I am very thankful that I met him and was able to work with him. More than anything, I am very thankful that he became my friend. We got each other through a lot of difficult things these past few months, and I can say that I'm a better person now because of our friendship :)

I'm sure there are great things in store for you, Bong. I'm always here for you. Love you foreverrrr! <3 p="">
