I permed my hair exactly two years ago. Here’s the post from two years ago.
２年前にパーマを掛けました。これが２年前にパーマを掛けた事に関して書いたブログの記事です。
It is so much easier for me to have wavy hair and style it with moose with three kids in tow and I wash my hair in the morning after work out. I have no time to blow dry my hair.
I had wanted to get my hair permed again for a quite a while, but I haven’t been able to partly because the Japanese hair dresser who permed my hair two years ago had left Jakarta in the middle of the last year. I thought about trying a new hair dresser, but then I found out that I was pregnant. After giving birth to my third child, I have been exclusively nursing which has not allowed me to have a good chunk of time to sit in a hair salon. However, my son started solid food since last month, so I finally went to get my hair permed.
髪の毛にパーマが掛かっていると、洗った後の濡れた髪の毛にムースを付けるだけで良いので、とても楽で好きです。特に朝エクササイズをした後は髪の毛を乾かす時間が無いので助かります。
しばらくパーマを掛けたいと思っていたのですが、２年前にパーマを掛けて下さったとっても気に入っていた日本人のスタイリストさんが、去年の中頃ジャカルタを離れてしまったため、その後何もできず終いでした。他のサロンでパーマを掛ける事を考えたのですが、妊娠している事が分かりできなかったり、出産後は授乳の間隔が3時間弱だったので、どうしてもパーマができなかったりしました。6ヶ月から離乳食を食べてくれるようになり、授乳の間隔が長くなったこともあり、思いたってパーマを掛けてみる事にしました。
I went to nobu, a Japanese hair salon, at the Dharmawangsa Square City Walk. I showed the photos of my haircut two years ago just like in my blog post to a Japanese hair stylist, Eki, and she did it. She’s well experienced and good at what she does. I like her style, too. I had gone to Shunji Matsuo, which is a Japanese hair salon also located on the same floor of the Dharmawangsa Square City Walk. Miyuki, the stylist who cut my hair, was wonderful and I liked her a lot. I also recommend Shunji Matsuo and I have had great experiences. However, I decided to try nobu this time since it was much less expensive to get my hair permed at nobu. As simple as that.
ダルマサンサ・スクエア・シティー・ウォークというショッピングモールの中にあるnobuというサロンへ行ってみました。（nobuをクリックいただくと、nobuさんのブログへとジャンプします。）えきさんというヘアースタイリストさんに、ブログに載せた様な２年前に掛けてもらったパーマの写真を見せたら、理解してくださり、出来上がりました。えきさんはすごいなと思いました。同じくダルマワンサ・スクエア・シティー・ウォーク内にあるShunji Matsuoさんのみゆきさんにお世話になった事もありました。みゆきさんはとっても良い方で、私はお勧めです。みゆきさんのやり方が気に入っているのに、では何故今回nobuにしたかというと、パーマの値段がShunji Matsuoさんの方はnobuの2倍と思われる程高かったのです。自分の髪の毛にそんなに贅沢は出来ないので、値段で即nobuさんへ行く事を決めました。それだけなんです。
The salon nobu made me a membership card (very Japanese) which was given to me for free and I received 10% discount for hair cut and perm. The 10% discount with the membership card for nobu applies every time I go there. The hair cut price was IDR 400.000, but with 10% discount, it became IDR 360.000. The perm was IDR 700.000 and with the discount, it was IDR 630.000. I can only say good things about nobu and Eki san. Thank you!!
サロンnobuさんでは、すぐにメンバーズカードを無料で作って下さり、それで１０パーセント割引をいただきました。これからもメンバーズカードを呈示すると１０％割引をいただけるそうです。それなので、ヘアカットが元のお値段は400.000ルピアなのですが、１０％割引の360.000ルピア、パーマは700.000ルピアですが割引後は630.000ルピアになりました。絵希さんとnobuに関しては良い事しか思いつきません。有り難うございました！

As I have written in the previous post, I might take a big break for 4 weeks from now until I am done with e-course, Blogging Your Way. We shall see…
前のブログの記事にも書いたのですが、Blogging Your Wayというオンラインコースをこれから４週間取るため、しばらくはブログは書けなくなるかとおもいます。懲りずにまた来て下さい！
looking good, Kaho!
Thank you! I humbly take your compliment.
Hi Kahori!
Thanks for the sweet comment, but we already met a while ago in Blog land, I just was so busy that I hardly left comments but since I’m a follower of your blog I read along with most of your stories, glad we have met again!
And my daughters both have curly hair, the oldest wants it straight, and you want a curl in it, hahaha, it is always like that right?

I thought that your name sounds so familiar. Sorry about that!! The grass is always greener, isn’t it? 🙂 Thanks for leaving me a comment!!!
great hair 🙂 funny, for one moment I thought you were talkinfg about nobu the restaurant – my favourite! I like to wave my hair too but a bit petrified of perms in case it goes wrong 🙂 lovely to meet you x
Ahaha, that’s funny! Nobu is an expensive restaurant! I’ve only been to Nobu once in Dallas, Texas. Unless you know that whoever perms your hair is really good, it’s kind of scary, isn’t it? I love my hair now though. It’s so much easier to style it.
Your hair is beautiful, and so is that salon. I looked around your blog, it is so sweet. You have a lovely family. Thanks for commenting on my blog, I love connecting with new people:)
Thanks for visiting my blog, too and your comment! I appreciate your compliment, too!
Permed hair suits you 😀 I just dyed my hair yesterday, it’s now a lovely shade of purple (well half of it is anyway) Hee! I love messing around with my hair 😀
(A pic is up on my blog if you’re curious ;D)
Coooooool!!! I’ll have to come visit your blog to see your photo! Glad you posted your photo!
You look awesome Kaho. I love your blog. How much longer are you in Jakarta? You need to live closer to me! 🙂
Thanks, Kelly! You’re so sweet. We only have 9 months left and I’m in denial! I would LOVE to live close to you!!
Hi! Great hair! Was this a digital perm? 🙂
Thanks, Kichi! I wish, but no, it was a regular perm. I went for a cheaper option which was regular. 🙂
mr. nobu himself is totally a disgrace to japanese people’s face, he has no respect for customers.
he asked me n my mom to not ever go to his salon right after we paid in the cashier just because: i criticize the girl who wash my hair doesnt know which shampoo she gotta use for my hair, and also i asked nobu to fixed my hair a lil’ bit after he cut my hair, and he asked me not to see him anymore which is very unprofessional and very ill-tempered hair salon owner.
beware, i would not waste my time to spend a penny there at all.
he is very nosy and he should go back in his own lil’ box where he cld meditate so he can be a better person.
so far this place is the worst place to go for me.
customer is always no. 1,……but to nobu, customer is not! he thinks he’s no 1!!
nobu, go back to japan and take your shitty japanese tail with you!
what a disgrace…………..BIG DISAPPOINMENT!!
I am sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. I had nothing but good experiences there and everyone was very nice. I’d say people have to experience the salon themselves.
I saw the same experience there twice.
I heard he said ”go out from here” with very big voice and all customer can heard. I don’t know what really happen at that time.
My sister, she like japan very much so she tried nobu. But Nobu san unrespectly always talk and asking bad things. My sister doesn’t like nobu san but she like everything there and keep going nobu with closing her ears everytime.
For me, as far i never had bad eexperience there.
I went there also and i like everything there. Since august 2013, i always go to nobu hair dharmawangsa square for cut, treatment or color. I’ve tried high light also (with Kenta san,he do for my hair always and he just great at all)
However, nobu salon is recommended if u r looking for Japanesse hair salon which is great service, better price.
I went to Shunji Matsuo also 2times at lippo kemang mall. It was great also but much expensive IDR 550.000 for hair cut. Compare with nobu IDR 360.000 (10%discount from IDR 400.000). And u can get 30%discount by completing the stamp (10times)
Thank you for taking time to leave a comment here! I agree with you on Shunji Matsuo. I liked them as well, but I found them a bit more than my budget. Finding someone who can make your hair look great is so important, isn’t it?
indeed! <3
but nobu salon's price now is going up -a bit-
before IDR400.000, now IDR 450.000
Thank you for the update!
