1 76 16215! XD

Would any of you be able to decipher the meaning behind the numbers? XD
Just a quick explanation, if you haven't(or, if you do, skip to the next paragraph).
Basically, for the 1st time, I tried number76 (Starhill Gallery branch) on 16th February 2015! See, do the numbers make sense now?
Well, I thought the two numbers, 76 would have really given it off, cause I think by now, number76 would have gained quite a lot of publicity, with so many... people, in a way, swearing by it(in a good way).
Well, at least, enough publicity for me to know about it, (as I believe in ignorance is bliss~~ :p)

I really have no idea when did number76 started but I first heard of it by word of mouth from a friend, back in 2013 and the deal clincher was the fact that it is heavily influenced by Japan but not in a crazy way. If you are imagining the crazy Harajuku hairstyles, I wouldn't say you are wrong, but erm.. perhaps the 'lookbook' feature in number76 website would provide a better idea of the styles they do.

Ok, enough with introduction and on with the experience!

Let's start with the booking process, shall we? In view of Chinese New Year approaching soon when I made the booking, I actually made my booking 2 weeks in advance, through a phone. And being forgetful, I called once to reschedule and another time to reconfirm. Well, suffice to say, there are really patient with me and all, which made me really comfortable.

Then on the day itself, I was terribly late due to other CNY errands. However, instead of cancelling my appointment and asking me to reschedule, what they did instead was to slot me in the next available session. Being only 3 days away from CNY, I would say that it was a very win-win situation la. XD

So, the stylist I got was Xuan, who is really super duper nice and accommodating to my request. Basically, what I requested for is a manageable hairstyle and maybe some fringe, that will make me look younger(Audit has an effect of making people look older than they actually are :p). On my part, because I don't really like to get my hair washed by others and I am not going for their special treatments and stuffs, I just ask her to skip the hairwashing part, lol. Again, she accommodated my request. Then, off she goes, snip snip snip~ and she nailed it! I was really going for a haircut where the change is subtle, like really really subtle, as good as not cutting but there is still a noticeable difference. And that is what Xuan gave me. :)

There you have it, a full-blown words post. Again. Regarding my experience in number76. And of course, I will most likely be a repeat customer and I fully intend to have Xuan's approach to my hair again too! XD
