Green Trends Salon, Salt Lake
Last week, the lovely folks at Green Trends salon in Salt Lake, Kolkata invited a bunch of bloggers to talk about the beauty trends for Durga Puja and let us experience first hand what's on offer by the salon for the festive season. Green Trends is a Chennai based salon chain and they have around 200 salons across all cities. In Kolkata, they have three branches (Bangur Avenue, Salt lake and Golpark). We met with the brand trainer Saddique Alam who spoke about the five new facials in their skincare menu and shared that for the hair, emphasis is on color and cut. The two biggest trends this season is adding color blocks to the hair and curls. I have wavy hair that I find very hard to manage so asked Saddique if he could give me a cut which would make my hair look good and would not involve a lot of maintenance. Shikha of Sorelle Grapevine went for chunks of red in her hair, Poorna of Presented by P went in for a facial, Debiparna of FlySongBird colored the ends of her blue and Bidisha of Fashion with Bidisha got side bangs.
Merry Bunch of Bloggers!
Saddique is an ace stylist and he gave me a cut with lots of layers and said all that I need to do is scrunch up my hair when it is partly wet and leave it like that till it is dry. He also advised me not to brush but lightly comb to maintain the layers. The cut took about 15 mins but the part where I get cranky is when the styling takes place. It took nearly an hour to give me beautiful curls and while I was in love with the final product, I was more than eager to get off from the chair. You can truly judge whether a hair cut is good for you when it still looks great after a week. Mine does and I thank Saddique whole heartedly. If he is in town, you have to get a cut from him!
Here's what I look like with my new haircut. Loving the layers and it's zero maintenance. Just wash, scrunch and ready to go!
