The latest hair trend that’s been popping up all over Instagram over the past couple years are crazy, bright, eye-catching hair colours. From vibrant reds and oranges, to sleek purples and blues, from cotton candy pastels to silver ‘grandma hair’, whatever colour combination you can think of has probably already been done before. No more boring browns or blondes!
Thankfully, several hair salons in KL offer hair colouring services to match up to the likes of Guy Tang, so you won’t have to worry about ruining your mane by attempting to colour your hair at home. Make an appointment at one of these salons near you and get ready to show off your blazing tresses!
