So I have decided that this week is “Pamper Jacqui” weekend and went all out in giving myself a first class treatment. From getting a massage (yes the previous post, where I wrote about “her” it’s actually me) and today I went in to “The Cutting Edge” to get a new look. And boy did I get a new look.
The salon is quite snazzy and chic, it’s quite a different atmosphere over there and it’s run by appointments mostly so you don’t feel the craziness and nerves you usually get at normal salons. The Staff is really friendly and most of the stylists over there are either American or European or some Asians. The view is soothing since you get a sea view. And the work is quite quick.
Let’s see, I went in for my 12PM appointment and I finished at 12:35PM! First I met with my stylist, a sweet lady, and she asked me what I wanted to do, I asked her for suggestions and she gave me her opinion that most of my hair dead and not doing anything just weighing me down so she thinks a summer new look is the way for me. I agreed and then she sent me off to get shampooed and conditioned. 10 minutes later, I was back in her chair and she started organizing my hair before she began the cut, which took 10 minutes, and didn’t leave me in that nervous state of nerves that I usually get when I see someone cut my hair, because they either cut it too short or they go crazy. She chatted me up, which is new for me but nice and I found out that she’s as old as I am. She finished my haircut, and due to the proximitiy of the chair and the mirror I could see what was going on since I was without my glasses at the time so it wasn’t that much of a shock, but I felt lighter already. After blow drying my hair I saw how it looked like and I was SHOCKED! I never thought that this look would suit me this much but it did.
In the end I paid a nice sum for all of this, but I have to admit it was totally worth it! So far my friends like it as much as I do, mom gave me a weird look but then again I’m used to that. But I can’t wait to shock everyone tomorrow.
Anyways for professional haircuts I seriously recommend this salon, they are located in the Abbas Akbar Complex which is right next to Kuwait Palace Hotel, right across from AUK, and they are on the 1st Floor.
a 26 year old Kuwaiti Gadget Freak who is obsessively in love with Apple Products so much that she probably has everything made by Apple. Currently she's being a lazy bum and putting off writing and everything else but when she does this is her space where she likes to vent and release everything, so welcome to it.

2. it’s all about summer love this summer (i have no clue what that means but it sure sounds good)
Laialy, Yen3am ib 7alich and yeah I know I am loving summer time this year although the heat could’ve taken a bit longer to get here, I don’t want it this soon! You should totally get on the summer love boat. :P
Who did you go to?
How come they got you right on time, i usually wait 15 min. and above?
They have no asians!! Australian, British ahd American only. !
Na3eeman.
Don’t recommend them to alot of people please, i hardly get an
appointment to fix my hair.
Judy, I went to Dee and she was great. And I don’t know maybe my luck but then again it’s a Saturday and it was noon so not alot were out I guess. And I didn’t have any preferences when it came to who would cut my hair. As to the asians bit I didn’t know that.. but there were asians who wash hair and clean up a bit right? :P And yen3am ib 7alich hehehe but it’s such a great place it should be known about.
sorry I missed you on Gchat last nite, I am sure the hair looks amazing. Na3eman ;*
shaved head > Everything else (For me) hehehe… That is allllllllll
na3eeman :p
still looks better on me :p
I recommend lianne, she’s our age too and she did a great job with my hair. I gave her the freedom to do whatever she pleased and I was so amazed.
girl.. it is an ugly place and De is the worse girl there…
Ya bent il 7alal… khaleeny a7a9el maw3ed ma3a il mara..:P
Shopa, Thanks hehe yeah and it’s unfortunate I missed you out there :P
Zouk, LOL!
Swair, Yen3am ib 7alich and No it looks better on me!!!
Pearls, I didn’t try Lianne, but oh well there’s always next time hehe and I did the same with Dee, I gave her complete freedom but told her to make sure not to cut it shorter than a certain length ;p
Judy, LOL! Are you serious or just trying to discourage people from going there?
Hi Jacqui,

It’s funny, but I’ve been looking for a recommendation for a good massage parlor/spa in Kuwait. Can you help? Thanks!
Lilac, Hey there, welcome to my blog hehe and I’m glad you liked it hehe for me the Best Massage Experience so far has been Spa Time. Although I haven’t tried any other place so I can’t say anything about it.. But I’m glad you’re liking what you’re reading :)
