*prices at the Taj Salon, The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai, as of January’14

I was attended by Meena Siddique..and she was amazing..learnt a lot of tips and tricks from her..

There are different Moroccanoil Hydrating Treatments and options.. The Price of Moroccan Oil Hydrating treatment – ranges from Rs. 2300 – Rs. 2700 depending on length and thickness of hair. Prices are inclusive of tax.

Since my hair was not very dry..she recommended the Light Hydrating Treatment..and not the Intense one..

At first, hair was washed with a shampoo and conditioned..then she applied the Moroccanoil Light Hydrating Mask section by section..

Hair was then washed with plain water..no shampoo.

And later the Moroccanoil Light Serum was used and hair was given a cold blast..and the dried hair already felt so soft and amazing and the best part..super light as if nothing at all is used..

And later they were styled and blow dried.

And the final result..

I was so in love with my hair ! They looked and felt awesome..and I received lots of compliments from the team there for my long hair..they all loved the outcome too 🙂

Also received this cute Moroccanoil two bag and Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner and the Intense Hydrating mask to try..

Have you ever tried the Moroccanoil Hydrating Treatments ? Been to Taj Salons anywhere ? Do share your experience..

P.S: Services were provided complimentary..but that has not affected my review.

Post Holi Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon
So I did play Holi and my hair was definitely affected even though I had oiled it..and even though I had played only with colors..those colors are pretty drying dude..
 
And I had to wash my hair thrice to remove the color..that made the hair all the more drying..as the essential oils on the scalp which moisturise the scalp are also lost with frequent washing..
 
I definitely needed some hair pampering..and got to try this hair ritual at the perfect time..

Jean-Claude Biguine had post Holi Biguine Kérastase Hair Rituals..its like a detox for the hair..here is the official press release:

Indulge in the Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon and Spa

There’s no better day than Holi to let your hair down and indulge in some colourful revelry. So, don’t let it end on a sour note with hair woes. Post the chemicals and colours, indulge in the Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon and Spa for healthier and beautiful hair.

Hair can turn brittle and extremely dry if color remains in it for a long time. The Kérastase hair treatments provide shine; they moisturize and condition the hair, and help in repairing all types of hair damages. The Kérastase Chronologiste Caviar Ritual uses mimetic caviar pearls and special creams to nourish hair and make it feel softer, stronger and more lustrous.

Kérastase Ultime Liquide-Gold Oil Ritual provides instant radiance and deep nourishment to all types of hair – making it intensely shiny with a weightless touch. The Monodose Ritual is an express treatment that is offered primarily with a hair-wash. A Monodose Ritual for dry hair nourishes hair and makes it soft to touch.

So I went for this hair ritual..you must have seen my pic on Instagram, if you follow me. I was assisted by Zara.

And after checking my hair, she suggested the Kérastase Chronologiste Caviar Ritual for me..as my hair was slightly dry. I also asked her the difference in three and which is meant for which type of hair, and she explained well. 

Chronologiste Caviar Ritual is meant for normal to dry hair
Ultime Liquide-Gold Hair Ritual is meant for all types of hair
And there is one more..Signature Kerathermine which is meant for extremely dry hair

She explained the whole process in Chronologiste Caviar Ritual and how its not real caviar..since real caviar is super expensive and they cannot use it world wide as vegetarians and vegans would have an issue with it..so its basically artificial caviar..made up with vitamins, etc that are beneficial and hydrating for the hair..

Durations: 1.5 hrs

Price: Rs. 1500/- for Ultime Liquide-Gold Oil and Rs.2500/- for Chronologiste Caviar and Signature Kerathermine

Procedure followed:

1. My hair was checked first and after suggesting the Chronologiste Caviar Ritual, we started off with it..

2. Hair was shampooed twice with Kérastase Nutritive Bain Satin 1 Shampoo..and towel dried.
3. The caviar was crushed and mixed well with the creme and applied all over the hair in sections..each strand at a time.
Artificial Caviar
Caviar and Creme
Mixed together
4. Then head and neck was massaged..and I was like sleeping on the chair..it was so super relaxing…Zara has magic in her hands !

5. Hair was given a mist (indirect steam) for 10 mins.
6. Washed hair again with plain water.

7. Kérastase Elixir Ultime Serum was used generously and hair was dried giving a cold blast and once normal blow dry. (no styling)

And this is the before and after..

I am telling you this pic does not do any justice to how my hair felt..they were so super soft and smooth..I just could not stop touching my hair !

I had to go for a hair cut the next day..and since it was blow dried and styled I could not wash and judge the difference later on..I will update this post as to how long the effect lasts and till when the hair feels and looks the same :p

But from what Zara told me, if hair is taken care of with proper serums and conditioning, the effect lasts a month..and this can be done monthly..or else if very dry hair, twice a month.

At JCB, they use mostly Kérastase and L’oreal Professional..and a few Moroccanoil products..

I highly recommend trying out the Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon..if your hair is normal kinds, the Ultime Liquide-Gold one would do..but its definitely to be experienced..you will love your hair ! 

I think its a perfect addition to must-do’s before the wedding for the brides !

Have you tried the Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon ??

P.S: Services were offered by the brand but that has not affected my opinion.
