It’s good to be on the go all the time, but that also means giving up on the ‘me time’. My definition of a haircare regime used to be to dab on a lot of oil, leave it overnight, wash it off the next morning and… well, that’s about it! The amount of travelling and sweltering heat I faced had started to show on my hair. So, I preferred to tie it up all the time…boring, but easy. So, when I decided to go for a hair spa, I could almost hear my hair heaving a sigh of relief.
My destination, Magicc Mirror, a unisex salon was located in the high-end Hiranandani Gardens in Mumbai. If a fancy salon with all the frills and thrills is what you have in mind, you might be a tad disappointed. Browsing through the menu, I was a little confused about which treatment to choose. My stylist, Sahil, tried to explain the different ones on offer and, although he gave it his best, I was left even more confused at the end of it all!
Eventually, I opted for the L’Oréal Professionnel Hair Spa Repairing Treatment. While I won’t go into detail, I will say that it was relaxing and I’m glad I opted for this treatment, as I could feel the difference. After a wash, the front sections of my hair were blow-dried for a neat look, keeping my waves intact, while the rest was blast-dried. To wrap up the treatment, the Energizing Scalp Lotion was rubbed on to my scalp to give my hair that extra shine.
It’s strange how devoting just 45 minutes of your day can do wonders to your tresses. Now I can confidently wear my hair loose. All thanks to the hair spa. But, do take an appointment in advance to make sure that all the products and stylists are in when you arrive.
The salon specialises in cuts and colours, so if that’s what you are looking for, this place is worth a try.
