Send in Your Worst Hair Horror Stories to Win

The Mandarin Oriental is introducing three new healthy hair treatments at the Mandarin Salon this month. The hair treats for stressed post-summer tresses include the new Organic Colour System range, which contains natural and certified organic ingredients that don’t damage your hair; digital perms, which are healthier than traditional perms with chemicals that are less damaging; and a Philip Kingsley hair treatment range that is ideal for strained and overworked hair, giving you immediate results, leaving your hair fabulously glossy and healthy.

To kick off the launch, the Mandarin has come up with a competition to win a HK$2,000 gift voucher for a hair makeover of your choice at their salon. All you need to do is send in and share your worst-ever hair experience. The three most horrifying stories will win. Everyone who enters the competition will receive a certificate, which entitles them to a complimentary Philip Kingsley Hair and Scalp Treatment when booking a shampoo, cut and blow dry with the Salon’s Artistic Director.

The competition is open to Hong Kong residents. Please email your personal hair horror stories (in English or Chinese) to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it on or before October 30, 2009. The Mandarin Salon will select the three winners on 31 October who will be informed by email.

And should you get really frustrated while thinking about and writing up your worst hair experience, then just pop down to the Mandarin Salon. The spectacular view from the 24th floor will definitely take your attention off things if the healthy treatments haven’t already put your mind at ease.
