Hi Gals,
Why not consider doing it at JB? I just did mine yesterday at Johor Bahru's City Square at Jantzen Hair salon. Its a short walk from the customs. Prices start at RM280..
My hair length was long (back touching bra-line) and the cost is RM360. It costs me a total of RM450 inclusive of rebonding (therapy+rebonding+cutting), hair protein treatment (RM70) and a scalp treatment (RM20). So when you convert to sing dollars, its about $214 or lesser depending on the exchange rates.
My experience was that they are very attentive, I had done rebonding the last two times in Singapore and I feel that the singapore ones are not as attentive as them. I think its because in singapore, if you spend $200++ in a hair salon its considered quite 'average' spender. But if you spend that same amount of singapore dollars in JB, multiply by 2, and you will get different service.
There is another hair salon in the same floor called Thomas & guys, offering rebonding at RM230 upwards, RM280 for my length. But I prefer to be on the safer side, so I choose Jantzen (after all, they have singapore branches too).
As for the hair colour treatment mentioned in the earlier postings, the advice from him is that .. becos I have left over colour from my previous colour.. the upper part of my hair is black, if I choose a hair colour treament that is bright.. it will only enhance the left over colour, making it even more obvious which can be quite ugly, cos due to the new hair grown, the colour can be quite unbalanced.
I have also chk with the hair stylist when I could colour my hair, he told me that I can only do it after a couple of months. In fact, I had wanted to colour my hair on the same day, but he advised not to as it is very damaging to the hair.
Last but not least, whether you decide to do it in singapore or JB, my advice is that to choose a weekday, when the salon is less crowded so that the stylist can concentrate.
I have paid over $400 at local prestigious hair salon during my previous rebonding and the results is not as good as now.
