GlamPalm GP501 : Unboxing and First Impressions

Sponsored

Recently I was lined with events that require me to look more polished than usual, and I was floundering on what hairstyles I want for each event. Without a huge budget for professional hairstyling services at salons, I usually turn to my curling tongs or flat iron to DIY my hair. But the curls usually don't form well - either too curly or too messy; and straights usually end up frizzy & damaged. Huge headache! How I wish I have a 2-in-1 styler that really works!!

Imagine my delight when GlamPalm extended their helping hand to me as they delivered GlamPalm GP501 right to my doorstep! (GlamPalm is a hair iron that can straighten AND curl hair! I heard a lot about them, they are like the Queen of Styling Irons in the market.)

I had that same reaction when I unboxed my GP. Guess what? My hair is gonna look like that too, soon. 

Just a little background information about GlamPalm...

• Glampalm’s parent company received the iF good design award in 2010, one of the top three design awards in the world. 
• Products are used by notable celebrities around the world such as Jennifer Aniston, Naomi Campbell, Miranda Kerr, and many others! (In Singapore, celebrities like Jamie Yeo, Rui En & blogger queen Xiaxue had also used it!)
• Researched, designed, and manufactured in Seoul, South Korea.
• Discovered the unique Healing Stone™ technology & incorporated this into their ceramic heating plates -the secret to their success! 

Fascinated yet?

What is Healing Stone™ Technology?

• Mineral ore is mined from mountains deep in the heart of South Korea
• Contains natural anti-bacterial and anti-microbial elements
• Healing Stone has been used throughout the history of Korean Eastern medicine
• Naturally emits the far-infrared rays and anions that add shine, smoothness and bounce

Come share my excitement...

as I unbox this precious luxe-looking package!

The point where I let out a little squeal of joy! Check out this stylish travel pouch!

May I also add that the hair clips are so convenient and holds just the right amount of hair, without pulling.

The styler's transparent cap is heat resistant! You can cap on without needing to wait for the iron to cool down.

Firm grip. The handle actually absorbs the sweat from my hands, so this prevents from slipping!

I am pretty sure you're curious how my hair turns out after I use this GP501 right? It's my first use, hence I am starting with an everyday fuss-free straight hairstyle.

BEFORE

2 days of unwashed hair! Limp hair at the crown +  dry frizzy ends.

No pain, no mishaps! Straightener doesn't pull my hair. No accidental scalding.

Hair Makeover with In-Trim Hair @The Aperia, Singapore

Sponsored

Hair woes are like the end of the world to many women. Lately, I frowned whenever I look at my tresses in the mirror. They looked disheveled, lackluster and limp. I was desperately in need of a fresh change of colour + a hair trim. I have been meaning to try pink highlights or any new hair colours I have not tried before. (I also wanna be a swag blogger right!)

To my delight, I was invited by In-Trim Hair for a hair makeover with my choice of hair services! Today, I am going to share my experience at In-Trim Hair with you guys.

Just a little background on In-Trim Hair, this salon is not a new kid on the block. It has its humble beginnings at The Concorde for almost 11 years before they decided to shift to this new space at The Aperia Mall, Kallang Avenue. It has since been in operation at this swanky office building cum retail mall for three months.

When I first stepped into the salon, I was particular drawn to its pop art decor. FYI, it is the first & only pop art theme salon in Singapore! The funky wall paper and the bright colours really cheers one up! (especially when you are feeling a lil' nervous like how I was, shown in below pic...)

 

Before haircut - flat, dry & dull hair.

My hair was dry & lifeless as I had bleached it before. I always avoided layering my hair because I want my hair to look volumnous. Little did I know that a good haircut with a right amount of layers can make hair look more 'alive', thus projecting a younger image! (You must find the right hairstylist though!)

The director stylist, Jessie snipped quite a bit of my dry ends away.

Director stylist, Ms Jessie Siaw was very friendly & helpful. She gave me useful advice on which colours to pick so I can achieve the results intended without damaging my hair. She & her team also provided me with tips to maintain & style my hair. They honestly told me that those beautiful big waves are a result of styling or using hairstyling tongs/iron/gadgets. Perming is not enough to do a good job.

Aren't these colors lovely? Guess which one is my base (brown) colour?

I was impressed by the choice of hair dye products used at In-Trim -- Shiseido. This is such a trusty Japanese brand that needs no further introduction. I literally feel safe with Shiseido products on my hair (and face too by the way!).

Can I revamp my face to look like her as well? LOL
