Editor’s Beauty Review: Son Ye-Jin’s Fave Jennyhouse Cosmetics Hair Care Products

Since the arrival of Jennyhouse Cosmetics in Manila last year of October through Areum.MNL, Hallyu and K-Beauty fans alike have been ecstatic to be able to finally get a hold of one of South Korea’s most raved lines of makeup, hair and skincare products. K-Drama superstar Son Ye-Jin of ‘Crash Landing On You’ fame is the face of its hair care segment and rightfully so– with its premium, all-green grade and natural ingredients that assure you of safe, high quality K-Beauty results.

Terry Dy, the beauty entrepreneur behind Areum.MNL, is a huge fan of K-Drama and K-Beauty herself. Terry and her business partner Rachelle Tan believe that Filipino clientele should not miss out on the exquisite quality of Jennyhouse Cosmetics, so they decided to bring the brand to the Philippines.

Just a backgrounder, Jennyhouse Cosmetics actually started as a chain of premium salons in SK back in 2002. Jenny House Salons have been responsible for providing haircare and curating hairstyles for at least 1,000 South Korean celebrities since. That’s why it is no surprise that its consumer-based hair care line produces topnotch products, too. So imagine how delighted I was when Areum.MNL told me they’re sending me the Jennyhouse Premium Hair Color Kit for me to try! I’ve been wanting to color my hair for quite a while, but I’m still too scared to go back to the salon. So I was so excited that I could try this premium do-it-yourself hair color kit that might just be the solution to my current beauty woes.

I chose the 11PB Pink Brown color, since I’ve always wanted to try to have some hints of bronzed-like, copper color on my hair. Now before anything else, you should know that my jet black hair is absolutely and naturally stubborn when it comes to absorbing any sorts of hair color chemicals. So it really takes some expertise to successfully color it, which is the reason why I know I have to go to a professional salon if I want a decently done color on my hair. Even a couple of premium local salons failed to color my hair in the past, even when they had let their formulations sit on my hair for four long hours! These hair experts told me it was because my hair was too healthy and smooth that any chemicals won’t just stick to it.

I am no expert in coloring my hair of course. But since I know that this DIY coloring kit is made by a premium South Korean beauty brand and a top-level salon at that, I was pretty confident I was going to have those bronzed/copper strands I’ve always liked. My first impression upon opening the kit was that I definitely loved that it came with a container, plastic hand gloves, hair comb and plastic cover to protect my clothes and skin from stains, and that the two tubes of formulations can easily be mixed together. No complicated steps to mix them, the instructions were pretty straightforward and super easy.

So after mixing both two tubes of color ingredients, I applied them on my hair and let it sit for 35 minutes. I loved that it did not have a strong scent, nor a strong sting on my scalp or skin while waiting. I could tell they’re really made of natural ingredients because they felt gentle and light on my hair and scalp. When I looked up on the net, Jennyhouse Premium Hair Color Kit actually has Centella Asiatica Extract that soothes the scalp and hair, which can also lessen hair damage. It also has Olive Oil so it doesn’t stain, plus Hydrokeratin that provides coating and the nutrition the hair needs. It also has Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate that recovers damaged hair and provides a shining conditioning effect.

I have a very sensitive skin, so it takes so little for me to have skin rashes. But the entire process did not make my arms or neck itch, nor did it cause my skin some rash– which just tells you that the formulation is indeed all-natural, top-level, safe and gentle.

When it was time to wash my hair, I noticed that it felt easy and gentle to rinse the formulation off my hair too. And when it was time to check it out, I absolutely loved the final look of my hair– so much so that I got so inspired to glam myself up with a bronzed makeup look. The color complemented my morena skin, and I truly felt like a golden princess!

To be able to achieve this hair color for less than an hour at the convenience of my home and with very simple, absolutely hassle-free, doable steps, I would definitely say that Jennyhouse Premium Hair Color Kit is such a major win! This is perfect even for women who have never tried coloring their own hair before, as this do-it-yourself kit allows you to have a smooth, simple process of achieving the color you want for your hair. This one is also for women like me whose hair is too jet black and cannot be penetrated with color right away, and for those with sensitive skin, hair or scalp. You’re guaranteed to use safe and healthy ingredients. Plus you can enjoy hair care properties too, which is truly commendable. Now I totally get why Jennyhouse Premium Hair Color Kit is Son Ye-Jin‘s top choice! Five stars indeed!

Areum.MNL‘s PR box for me also came with Jennyhouse Self-Up Volume Shampoo, which just completed my salon hair experience. It has volumizing effects on the hair. I love that my hair felt super soft and smelled super fine after using it.

Jennyhouse Premium Hair Color Kit comes in seven colors: black, dark brown, natural brown, pink brown, coral pink brown, ash brown and rose gold brown.

Areum.MNL also carries other best-sellers from Jennyhouse Cosmetics, like the Truffle Skincare Set, lipsticks, serums, foundation and eyeshadow.
