Hair Trends for 2010

Our article on 2010 Hair Trends has just been uploaded on Emmagem.com.  Click to view the link here.

In this article we discussed the trends that we will be seeing in the year 2010 where a return of the 80s hairstyles are likely with more emphasis on VOLUME.  Not forgetting also is the HALO, making a super comeback stronger than ever, adding a more edgy and creative persona to the wearer (which is YOU)

Curls and Volume

The HALO

Also coloring the theme of the 80s with would be the color RED.  Chilli RED, Deep RED and other REDS are also going to be the color of the year (I wonder if there's a Ferrari RED ;-)

Anyhow, we're not going to create a duplicate of the article here.  So go and click on the link for the article in Emmagem.com

New Senior Stylist - Jessie Tang

We have a new Senior Stylist, Jessie Tang!  She's not exactly new to us as she was recently promoted from a Stylist to a Senior Stylist.

Being the most experienced Stylist naturally made her a candidate for the Senior Stylist position after Carven left.  So we would like to annouce that Jessie will be our new Senior Stylist alongside Ben-G to serve everyone. 

Jessie brings with her 5 years of experience from her sister's salon in Puchong to A Cut Above in Sunway Pyramid.  Her portfolio of customers sport commercial daily hairstyles suited to the office wear with minimal fuss and not forgetting also the strong following of male customers for their professional no frills look.

Jessie will be off on Wednesdays and haircuts are priced at RM 50 for him and RM 60 for her.



Jessie's facebook page can be found here:-

So when our directors are too busy, rest assured, reliable backups are here to help you!

Makeup Services & Mavis

Remember the times when you take pictures in your best dressed self during night functions and just to regret them the next day when you try to upload them to facebook just because your makeup was over exposed?

That white face that does not match your neck even though you had your favourite dress on?

Since you are already letting us handle your hair that evening, why not also let us manage your make up?  Besides, its always very rushing to get the hair done before the event in the evening most people tend to not do their hair and end up avoiding cameras all night.  No?

Enter Mavis Ang.  She is one of our talented stylists who also took a course in makeup together with hairdressing.  Her experience includes Bridal Makeup, Day Wear, Night Wear and Fantasy.

We charge RM 85 for makeup.  If you have your own lashes, we won't charge any extra for putting them on.  However if you require them, they are available to you at a paltry sum of RM15.

Makeup @ Shunji also entitles an entry into the Feature of the Month contest too!
