Colour Polish Treatment
My hair was looking pretty dry and my roots badly need a colour touch up and it so happened that I chanced upon eZEN Hair Studio on my way to SingPost as I was intrigued that they offer Organic Hair Colouring service. Hence I stepped into the salon and the hairstylist on duty that day – Conan attended to me and gave me some advice on what kind of treatments will suit my hair. I dyed my hair into a darker tone previously and grew pretty sick of it as it is making me look quite dull and matured in a wrong way. Hence I wanted to lighten my hair colour a little for an uplift.

Conan from eZEN Hair Studio recommended me to do the Colour Polish Treatment — a protein-based treatment which will colour my hair at the same time. It’s like the first time I heard about treatments which can colour my hair and hence I decided to go ahead with his suggestion as it is very pocket-friendly — I pay for treatment + colouring at the same time. And… For my long and thick hair length, he is only charing me SGD108 in total!!! The minimum market rate for Argan Oil treatment is at least SGD200 but for this treatment that can colour my hair is only SGD108! I was sold!!
The salon was pretty small and looked like a neighbourhood salon but I managed to click pretty well with Conan as he is from Ipoh — my Dad’s hometown 🙂 We conversed in Cantonese and learnt that Conan had spent a good 2 years in Japan to improve his hairstyling skills. He shared with me many useful hair tips and also told me that his teacher in Japan taught him to respect and care for his patron’s hair just like his girlfriend :p
I could feel that he had great passion about hair styling and hence heaved a sigh of relief that my hair would be in good hands.

Protein VS Oil Treatment
Many of you might really be obsessed with Argan Oil treatments now and think that it will make you hair silky smooth. Conan shared with me that Argan Oil is indeed a good hair treatment – but it is more suited for Virgin Hair (i.e. hair that has not been chemically treated yet). Argan Oil for treated hair will only dry out your hair in the long-run as it inhibits nutrients from being absorbed by your hair follicles.

Hence for people like myself who have permed and coloured my hair, Argan Oil treatment will not be so suitable sadly 🙁 Instead, I should go for protein treatment as protein will react better with my chemically treated hair to make it soft and silky.
Colour Polish Treatment – The Process
The entire process was speedy – took less than 2 hours and consists of applying the treatment product onto my hair to sit for about half an hour or so before rinsing it off with cold water.

{BONUS} Hair Care Tips
My scalp had a mild stinging sensation when the treatment was left on my hair and Conan advised that I should abstain from washing my hair 2 days before any hair treatment / dyeing because the natural oils from my scalp can protect it from feeling irritated and the treatment will have a longer lasting effect on my hair.
Conan also shared with me that good treatment should not leave my hair feeling super sleek and smooth when washed out, it should make my hair feel tacky and waxy instead. Hence after washing out the treatment, my hair was almost impossible to finger comb through but Conan assured me that it will be fine after applying his “Miracle product” – the Newcreation Damaged Hair Rebuilder.
He then applied the Newcreation Damaged Hair Rebuilder and he managed to run his comb through my hair amazingly without getting stuck in the middle!
Newcreation Damaged Hair Rebuilder (SGD70+) |
This leave-in hair conditioner is protein-based and a little of it goes a long way – a 250ml tube like this can last me for at least half year or more according to Conan and hence I bought it back 🙂
After applying the Newcreation Damaged Hair Rebuilder, Conan went ahead to blowdry my hair and I started seeing smoke spewing out from the hairdryer and I enquired whether the hairdryer was malfunctioning. He then assured me that it was the Hair Rebuilder that is reacting with the heat from the hairdryer – the hotter it is, the better it is for the product to adhere onto my hair and indeed my hair was super soft and smooth after that! However the amazing part is that my hair does not feel super slippery like after undergoing conventional hair treatments.
My hair felt 100% like my hair just that it is now soft and silky without the unnatural slippery / oily sensation if you can get what I mean.. 😀
Products Recommended to me during the treatment |
As I have really oily scalp, Conan recommended me the CRAFT de Villa ORGANIX SERILINUX Shampoo which was the huge bottle at the right of the above photo but I did not purchase it immediately as it cost SGD135! It can last for approx a year according to Conan but I could feel the pinch in my pocket at that instant. He did not hardsell me and hence I ended up buying the Newcreation Damaged Hair Rebuilder.
A photo of Conan – look for him if you happen to visit the salon k? |
Conan recommended me to visit him after 2 months for the polish treatment again in order to maintain the shine in my tresses and I think I will still go back to him as I need to touchup my roots anyway (grey hair problems *Haix*).
Update
Hehehehe I finally caved in and bought the CRAFT de Villa ORGANIX SERILINUX Shampoo as I had enough of my oily scalp. So I’m using this shampoo and Batiste Dry Shampoo interchangeably.
My Shampoos~ |
Have been using this shampoo for less than a week now and am monitoring how it feels on my scalp. Hope it can help to control the oil secretion of my scalp.
Overall
In conclusion, this review on my Colour Polish treatment is in no way sponsored by eZEN Hair Studio as I paid for it myself entirely and I did not reveal my blogger identity throughout the process.
I was impressed that my hair ends looked healthy at the end of the treatment that no hair trimming is required eventually as the split ends have miraculously disappeared. Also, Conan did not hardsell me other services / packages / products throughout the process although he did share with me their package pricing and stuff etc which I politely declined him. To me, hardselling is the biggest turn off and hence I will still return to that salon as I felt relaxed and satisfied as a patron.
Hence I would strongly recommend you guys to give a try if you are looking for an effective and pocket-friendly hair treatment. The service might feel like a typical neighbourhood salon setting, but the results were amazing!
Will update you guys again on my hair if I am returning for another treatment. In the meantime, stay beautiful my lovelies 🙂
