With focus on your individual style and personality, Jean Louis David’s bespoke service and superior treatments bring out the beauty in you and give a glow that radiates from within. As OHLALA’s Emille Artigas reports.

 

A woman’s hair is the primary and most noticeable fragment of her beauty. It’s a vital element of her appearance and sets the tone of her whole look. It is often the first impression and also what other people remember you by. As for me, it could set my mood, and a bad hair day is simply a bad day – to ensure my day is good, my daily long hair look is a ponytail or hair bun, and I will also use a bracelet as a hair tie. Our hands and feet are overworked every day, and they are also the first things that others notice about us. Whilst a manicure and pedicure are applied directly to the nails, the entire hands and feet not only get beautified, but get the healthy benefits as well. Having felt the need and importance, I have learned, managed and enjoyed doing my nails myself since last year.

My hair has been exposed to the sun and hot weather from frequently going to the beach or beach holidays and water sports activities. It has become considerably lighter in colour, dry and certainly long. So, I was thrilled for days when I was booked to visit Jean Louis David for my hair and nail spa, a salon visit I have not had for over a year.

The personalised service began when a member of the team gave me a phone call to remind me of my appointment and offered directions to the branch. She gave me another call 10 minutes before my appointment to ensure I was finding the way alright, and even met me from the car.

Jean Louis David is located along North Gate Mall, and I was pleasantly surprised how convenient and easy the parking space is – right in front of the salon. I was warmly welcomed by the most soothing aroma that fills the air, as the therapist led me along the bright yet warmly lit corridors towards my treatment section. Sada, my hairstylist, consulted with me to discover precisely what I needed. For my hair, she blended the most accurate mix with products that come directly from Paris using Majirel L’Oreal.

The colour concoction was industriously and gently applied and left on my hair to relax and soak for 35 minutes, before it was then rinsed thoroughly. The much-needed trimming was done, my locks were meticulously styled and voilá, the hairstyle I have always wanted, combined with renewed glow and shine.

Meanwhile, my nails were treated to the salon’s own brand called ‘nails’ simultaneously with Plexigel and a nail spa. Plexigel is a versatile and convenient brush-in-a-bottle nail enhancement system that provides strength, length and shape; protects nails and lasts for more than three weeks. Once the scrupulous treatment was completed using the Shellac system, the nail polish was finished off with a crystalclear shine.

The treatment administered came from the CND Gardenia Woods Spa brand, and was an indulgence of rich moisture that hydrates the skin with a botanical blend of soothing chamomile and purifying sandalwood, leaving the skin luxuriously soft. A four-step approach – soak, scrub, masque and lotion – was used. The brand features sandalwood, chamomile, jojoba seed oil and jojoba soft beads, flawlessly perfected with jasmine and gardenia fragrance that leaves the skin hydrated, moisturised and with lasting softness.

I was completely in the moment with the treatment, so calming, within the serene and tranquil environment. The Jean Louis David hair and nails treatment is a combination of balance that brings out your inner beauty with the bespoke service, top-ofthe-line products, and high-end facilities. I went with a very high expectation, but it even surpassed this and my desires – I left with enhanced confidence and pleased with every single result that enriched my whole wellbeing.
