										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you know how we bloggers always think about how we should <strong>restyle our blogs</strong> to give it a fresh look? I mean, it&#8217;s always the same ol&#8217; header, sidebars, columns etc etc. I added a few stuff like my cartoon figurine at the top (soon to be joined by my blogger-partner <strong>Jingy Veronique the Mermaid</strong>!) but essentially,<em> they are all still the same</em>!</p>
<p>But hey, suddenly <strong>A Cut Above </strong>(<em>you know that popular professional salon founded by <strong>Datin Winnie Loo</strong>? 😀</em>) came up with something pretty nifty: the <strong>#BloggeRestyle</strong> movement, where they aim to empower Malaysia&#8217;s blogger community by giving the bloggers themselves a good restyling session. I immediately said, <strong>I NEED THAT!</strong> What can you expect from a person who&#8217;s pretty much had the same hairstyle all his life? 😛</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6134" src="" alt="IMG_8166" width="560" height="420" /></p>
<p>And so I made my appointment and searched for the all new <strong>Restyle+</strong> outlet at the all new <strong>Nu Sentral</strong> located at KL Sentral. For your information, Restyle+ is a little different from <strong>A Cut Above</strong>, where they target young folks who are looking for a totally refreshing hairstyle, and also different from <strong>Restyle (without the PLUS!)</strong> in a sense that they only provide organic solutions, thanks to their partnership with <a href="http://www.aveda.com/index.tmpl" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="broken_link"><strong>AVEDA</strong></a>!</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6135 size-full" src="" alt="" width="560" height="210" /></p>
<p>Of course being the<strong> social entrepreneur</strong> I am, when I find out that not only are their treatments, hair colours etc are almost fully organic but that they also save the environment in more ways than one, I told myself this is the place to go. Heck, it&#8217;s definitely going to be better for my own scalp and hair too right?!<strong> Saving the world and the people, that&#8217;s the way to go 😛</strong></p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6137 size-full" src="" alt="" width="560" height="210" /></p>
<p>Oh did I mention that their hair colour products are also not so damaging to your hair? Viva la Aveda for their vision to <strong>connect beauty, environment and well-being</strong> &amp; of course Restyle+ for their <strong>professionalism &amp; amazingly talented hairstylists</strong> 😀</p>
<p>Now check out how my hair transformed, and it&#8217;s only halfway in the process yo! haha. Check out the picture below for a larger version. <strong>DAMN COOL RIGHT!</strong></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6138" src="" alt="IMG_8192" width="420" height="560" /></p>
<div style="color: #222222;">Oh by the way, at Restyle+ <strong>relaxation and replenishment</strong> is the main focus of their service which is really good for those who have frequently stress-filled days. So can you imagine how I felt when they served their lovely <strong>Aveda tea</strong> on top of the <strong>extremely relaxing</strong> massage both on your hands and scalp whilst getting your hair washed? <em>Perfection&#8230;</em></div>
<div style="color: #222222;"> </div>
<div style="color: #222222;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6139" src="" alt="Collages" width="560" height="210" /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<div> </div>
<div>Basically how it works is that all Restyle+ customers will engage in a<strong> signature <span class="il">Aveda</span> Ritual of Renewal</strong>, which may include: <strong>The Tea Ritual</strong>, a cup of comforting tea upon arrival; <strong>The Stress-Relieving Hand Ritual</strong>, a complimentary hand massage incorporating the senses soothing <span class="il">Aveda</span>Stress-Fix<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Body Lotion; the <strong>Stress-Relieving Neck and Shoulders Ritual</strong>, a 3-5 minute tension-taming massage of the neck and shoulders using <span class="il">Aveda</span> Stress-Fix<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Body Lotion; and <strong>The Aroma Sensory Journey</strong>, a guided tour of scent, sensuality and memory, to help us discover the <span class="il">Aveda</span> aroma that truly worked their wonders with me. I wonder how it&#8217;ll go with you?</div>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6141" src="" alt="IMG_8203-001" width="420" height="560" /></p>
<p>Finally after a <strong>senior stylist hair cut</strong>, 3 hours of light bleaching for a <strong>full colour</strong> and <strong>Ash highlights</strong> and a <strong>full Invati treatment</strong>, this is the new empowered me. I actually look a lot thinner with this new&#8230; <strong>ME! </strong>For my hair length, the cut was about RM55, and the colouring ranged at RM180. The full Invati signature treatment which reduced itchiness in my scalp and for a healthier hair costed RM230, which is amazing considering all the stuff they did on me.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6140 size-full" src="" alt="" width="560" height="210" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And that pretty much sums my experience at the all new Restyle+ outlet in partnership with AVEDA! Try it out, and if you&#8217;d like some <strong>discount</strong> to have your first try, give me a tweet at <a href="http://twitter.com/spinzer" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="broken_link"><strong>@spinzer</strong></a> and I&#8217;ll hook you up 🙂 Restyle+ services include <strong>cuts, color, men’s grooming and specialized treatments to condition hair, improve scalp health and texture treatments</strong>, so I thin<span style="color: #000000;">k there&#8217;s pretty much something for any of you readers 😀</span></p>
<p style="color: #ff6666;"><span style="color: #000000;">Are you now thinking of <strong>RESTYLE-ing </strong>your hair too? 😉</span></p>

<p>When I got the invitation I thought to myself, damn I&#8217;m going the right path here! I don&#8217;t represent any other kind of media except myself, and to be included in an event where there will be more than 40 celebrities shows that this is going to be an exciting start to this blog of mine.</p>
<p>Of course this is all thanks to my friends especially <a href="http://youcallitmakeup.blogspot.com">ICallItArt</a> @ Erin here who happens to be a talent manager and also the founder of Twitterati, ie usage of Twitter media to cover events LIVE. If you don&#8217;t believe me, <a href="http://twitter.com/spinzer" class="broken_link">follow me at @spinzer</a> and you&#8217;ll see <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Large broken_link" title="posterize1" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166799758/posterize1.html"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone" src="" alt="posterize1" width="540" /></a></p>
<p>The event was, as expected, first class. The venue was superb, each guests will get  to walk down the red carpet and get hounded by the many media who were present to hog you down like a paparazzi amok!</p>
<p><a title="posterize5" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166041125/posterize5.html" class="broken_link"><img decoding="async" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="" alt="posterize5" width="540" /></a></p>
<p>VIPs include <strong>Winnie Loo</strong>, founder of<strong> A Cut Above</strong> together with the other bosses and partners in the business world, and of course their multimillionaire friends.</p>
<p>The MCs were none other than<strong> Baki Zainal</strong> and <strong>Aishah Sinclair</strong>, the former now a friend who&#8217;s not just down to earth but also an avid environmentalist :p Beside Baki is <strong>Soo Wincci</strong> (Miss Malaysia World 2008-09), and so he says &#8220;who says you have to be tall, dark and handsome.. eh?&#8221; &#8211; I completely agree with him :p</p>
<p>Finally featuring our very own <strong>Erin</strong>, the blondie (hehe) together with <strong>Jonathan Putra</strong> and <strong>Justin Hoon</strong><strong>g</strong>, well known in the high society group. Terror la this Erin lol!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone" title="Anita Sarawak" src="" alt="" width="550" height="368" /></p>
<p>But of course it is mostly thanks to <strong>Xavier Mah</strong>, the main PR guy for successfully putting this together and inviting us! Pictured here is him alongside celebrities you should be able to recognize: <strong>Anita Sarawak</strong> and her husband, <strong>Mahathir Abdullah.</strong></p>
<p><a title="posterize2" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166040633/posterize2.html" class="broken_link"><img decoding="async" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="" alt="posterize2" width="540" /></a></p>
<p>Friends were all present there, so it was pretty much a lot of fun.<strong> Elena</strong> from Maybelline New York, <strong>Erin</strong>, the gorgeous <strong>Manne Chen</strong> who managed the event and of course, popular lifestyle blogger <strong>Jessica</strong> from<a href="http://benjicajess.com" class="broken_link"> Benjicajess.com</a> and Malaysian No. 1 Beatboxer, <strong><a href="http://shawnlee.com">Shawn Lee</a></strong>. It was going to be a fun-filled elegant event <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><a title="posterize4" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166800184/posterize4.html" class="broken_link"><img decoding="async" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="" alt="posterize4" width="540"/></a></p>
<p>As the stream of celebs arrived, the event was set to go off soon. We had Miss Malaysia World exes, we had popular singer <strong>Syafinaz Selamat</strong> and actors as well, it was crazy!</p>
<p><a title="P1040768" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166039937/p1040768.html" class="broken_link"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="" alt="P1040768" width="550" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>But of course, who could miss out <strong>Dennis Lau</strong>, violinist extraordinaire who just sealed a deal with Sony Music Entertainment, something which rarely happens. His passion burns so much that we instantly connected and now we&#8217;ve been helping each other out, because deep down inside really do want to believe in local talent, and here he is: <a href="http://www.dennislaumusic.blogspot.com/ ">Dennis Lau</a>.</p>
<p><a title="P1040848" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166040013/p1040848.html" class="broken_link"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="" alt="P1040848" width="550" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>And his performance was no less powerful, the quality intense as he performs Makhota with <strong>Syafinaz Selamat</strong>, whom Dennis calls the voice of tomorrow. Do check out their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/dennisviolin">music here</a>.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Large broken_link" title="posterize3" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166800066/posterize3.html"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone" src="" alt="posterize3" width="540" /></a></p>
<p>Anyway the event goes on with free flow of good wine and great beer, as the Fashion Show starts. Funky as it is, I almost mistaken some as mannequins when they were in fact, humans! Cute eh they all, I particularly like the one at the bottom left!</p>
<p><a title="P1040952" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166040097/p1040952.html" class="broken_link"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="" alt="P1040952" width="550" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>The models all together with their out-of-the-world dresses and funky hairstyles!</p>
<p><a title="P1040983" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166799380/p1040983.html" class="broken_link"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="" alt="P1040983" width="550" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>Performance ensued and we had Nikki, a former Malaysian Idol finalist belting out a powerful number with her equally powerful dancers. It was amazing!</p>
<p><a title="posterize6" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166800386/posterize6.html" class="broken_link"><img decoding="async" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="" alt="posterize6" width="540" /></a></p>
<p>But of course it had to end with <strong>Shawn Lee</strong>&#8216;s amazing beatboxing. It was soooo good that all the celebrities took notice of him immediately, so much so that he&#8217;s been so busy performing for exclusive events, earning lots of $$$ on the way! Even Winnie was impressed, pictured here, but nothing can be as impressive as her ability to expand her business line even as many are saving for the worst. That alone, I believe demands respect <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>ps- Shawn Lee&#8217;s manager is Erin herself. Contact her for more information <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Large broken_link" title="P1050074" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166041329/p1050074.html"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone" src="" alt="P1050074" width="521" height="780" /></a></p>
<p>The amazing people <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Anyway we soon went back, taking along our goody bags&#8230; and boy was I surprised to see what&#8217;s inside!</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Large broken_link" title="posterize" href="http://spinzer.us/gallery/photo/4166799550/posterize.html"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone" src="" alt="posterize" width="540" /></a></p>
<p>There must be at least RM500 worth of stuff in there, including FREE coupon credits for Spa&#8217;s, massages and even RM100 worth of discount when you cut your hair at A Cut Above! I was really impressed and I&#8217;m definitely looking forward to attend more events like these&#8230; could do with more facial and hair products, thank you haha!</p>
<p>So what can I say really? I don&#8217;t know, but one thing&#8217;s for sure&#8230;. It can only get better from here <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Thank you all for reading, and do pay a visit to the all new Bangsar Shopping Centre.. The Christmas decor is awesome and you wouldn&#8217;t want to miss out on it!</p>
