I know what you are thinking – what am I doing at Beijing 101 Hair Consultants? Sure, they are best known for their hair thinning/balding treatments, but Beijing 101 Hair Consultants actually does more than that – they also treat various hair concerns such dry scalp, oily scalp, dandruff, and itchy scalps.
I was invited down for a hair treatment last month, and was excited because I didn’t know what to expect. (Yes, even if you don’t think you have any hair or scalp concerns, you can pop in and have a check to see just how healthy your scalp and hair is.)
When I first got there, I was greeted by Beijing 101 Hair Consultants and taken to a cozy consultation room. There, I had to fill out a form on my hair details – whether I had hair thinning, dandruff, etc, and how many times a week I washed my hair – gulp, I ticked off “3 times a week” but we all know I’m lying! Does dry shampoo count? Ha! My hair consultant said that actually, you should be washing your hair – especially your scalp – everyday. Oops.
After the form was filled out, I had a scan of my scalp, where the hair consultant and I could see what the situation of my scalp was. I was told that the most common problem in Singapore was an oily scalp due to our hot weather, and lo and behold, I am one of them. Ew! I asked how could this be, as I don’t have oily hair at all, but you can never tell until you look closer!
The treatment itself was my favorite part (obviously!) with the head massage being the best bit. I was taken to the hairdresser area, grabbed a few hundred magazines on the way and sat down for my treatment, which altogether come to around 1.5 hours.
I don’t want to focus too much on the treatment but the actual results itself (’cause they were amazing), so very quickly: the treatment included a hair mask, a double-shampoo washing session, a head massage and a tonic treatment. My favorite bit out of all of that was the hair tonic session, as it felt tingly and nice on my scalp! I have never tried hair tonic before and it felt really nice – I suppose it’s all psychological, but the tingly feeling made it feel like it was really penetration my scalp and working. Afterward, my hair had an infrared session which allows the tonic to penetrate the scalp even more.

Here I am having the infrared treatment! Doesn’t it look crazy?!
After the treatment, I went back to the consultation room and had a scalp scan once again, to see the results (yes, they are immediate!). I was surprised that the clogged pores looked more cleaned out, but overall the change was small, but definitely visible. My hair consultant said that it’ll need a few more sessions before they’d be any drastic change to my scalp, but the fact that it responded so well is a good sign! The only thing I was warned about is that the hair tonic has a very strong smell and it will stay with you for a few hours, which could be annoying! However it didn’t bother me too much, I’d say within 3 hours it was long gone.
And now for the best bit – the results.
I met up with my mom right after the treatment, and she gasped and said my hair looked ridiculously fluffy and shiny. And I agree – there was something so “hair commercial” about my hair. If you look closer at my photo above, you’ll see that my hair has some crazy volume on the top and looks really thick and fluffy, right? This NEVER happens to my awful flat hair, so that in itself impressed me greatly.
Overall, I was happy with my experience at Beijing 101 Hair Consultants – they delivered what they promised and the consultants were all very friendly and full of smiles. Beijing 101 Hair Consultants is Beauty Fool’s sponsor for the month, so we have some special packages for you if you’d like to have a treatment yourself! Check out all the details here, and if you do get a hair treatment (or have had one before), please let me know your thoughts as well!

That’s so strange, I’ve always heard and read that you shouldn’t wash your hair/scalp everyday because it strips it of its natural sebum, resulting in oily hair .. I thought that was my hair gets greasy so quick, ’cause I wash it pretty much every day (the only day I don’t wash it is Saturday IF I have nothing planned) .. I wonder if we have hair consultants here in the UK who could provide similar services, I’d definitely like to give it a try!

Hey Sona! Yeah I was puzzled too but she said that washing the scalp is vital ’cause the oils clogs the “pores” and results in hair loss, etc.
I am very sure they have hair specialists in the UK! Maybe you could ask around? Or my favorite, Google! haha
Haha yeah I’ve been googling but most of them are in London (the ones that have the highest reviews anyway and seem the most professional) I have yet to find one in Manchester – which is where I am – all I’m coming up with is places to get hair extensions and hair transplants :S .. the hunt continues! Or maybe I’ll just save up and make a trip up to London

Hmm, if your mom did gasped and commented how fluffy and shiny your hair looked, I’d tend to believe her. My hair is limp and flat, what wouldn’t I give to have fluffy and shiny hair! I do see advertisements by this company but have no idea where they are located?
Hey Catherine, yeah! My mom wants to go for a treatment too.
Oh locations! They are everywhere. Are you from Singapore? Here are the locations in SG:

Hi, my name is Sal, I want to tell my experience about my treatment in Beijing 101. I came to Beijing 101 because I was having hair loss problem and saw the advertisement on Serangoon NEX mall. The staffs are always friendly (because they want your money) and at the first appointment, my hair consultant told me that my hair was really oily, so it blocked the hair root which made my scalp unable to produce new hair. She scanned my hair and I decided to sign $4388 package (has 10 hair masks, 12 hair tonics and 2 shampoos)! believe me, until now, I really regretted that I paid so much just for those things! I really pissed that $4388 results for nothing! Not only that, every time I came there for hair treatment (which usually the staff will put mask on your hair, wash it and give tonics), the staff always FORCE me to buy more and more packages!!! Normally, great salesmen will not force anyone to buy their products, but in Beijing 101, they have the strangest marketing strategy ever!!! They just deceive people by telling that your hair still oily, so hair needs more Beijing 101 products, eventhough in fact it’s not!!!
Honestly, I got deceived by one staff, she really forced me at that time by saying “you must continue your package or you will have more oil in your hair!” Because of that foolish trick, I am forced to spend $1388 just for nothing (again!!!). I still remember she convinced me to continue the package by saying “each person scalp is different, yours is really oily, so you need to treat it longer than other people” and guessed what, I found out that she lied by observing that my hair is just the same after I continued.
All staffs there absolutely will FORCE you to buy more and more packages NONSTOP! I remembered one time, I lied to one staff that I didn’t bring money (at that time she offered products aggressively and it was like the 10th times!), then she told me to go home after the treatment, take my card and go back again to buy the offered products! Well, that’s not a good way to treat customer!!!
My recommendation is much much better to use Loreal or Kerastase, it’s expensive too, but really works!! and don’t be fooled by the promotion offered by Beijing 101, such as $88 coupon of hair treatment, it’s their way to attract customer to come to one of their outlet…
