Malaysia branch Musee Platinum Tokyo's review, year 2014

This is a bought and paid for package from Musee Platinum Tokyo @ Malaysia. 
The title's like that cuz I didn't find any reviews for this year, especially when I was doing research before I went.

UPDATED: The moment I read XiaXue's blog post on hair removal in Singapore by Datsumo Labo, my brain was totally screaming "pleeeeease come to Malaysiaaaaa!" and trying to send telepathy messages to their management team so that they will open a branch in KL. 

Fuzz, and me, don't go well. I hate fuzz, fuzz hates me. Simple as that.
And I'm sure that it is pretty similar for all girls too.

Little did I know that in Malaysia we have our very own brand that's good and very worth it!
People, let me introduce you to.....


The marquee @Farenheit that I went to
I have 2 friends who bought a groupon deal with Musee Platinum Tokyo last year when they offered their underarms package at RM278 for unlimited sessions for, get this---your whole lifetime.
This means that after the obligatory 12 sessions for hair to die off  growth to stop completely, maybe one day after an extraneous spurt of hormones, you grow a little bit of fuzz.

"No problemo", says Musee. "Come over and do sessions over and over and over again till you are satisfied!"


Great, right?

What Musee Platinum Tokyo is offering now:

I love the term "tax included"
(If you only want to read about the process of hair removal, skip all the pictures and go to the bottom)

This is the package I signed on (for now, I'll explain later how the underarm package can totally be evolved like Pokemons) with a special promotion with their Facebook page, bringing it to RM279.
(Liking their page and then going for an appointment by the 31st of May, 2014)
((But it's kinda redundant mentioning it now because today is the 31st of May, 2014))


Now because I mentioned just now that I have friends who are already on this package, I get special privileges when I sign on any packages. Actually, both of us get special privileges when I sign on any packages. 

All you have to do is to tell them you were referred by a friend, bring her ID number (definitely a her, cuz Musee Platinum Tokyo does not cater to men as of yet, neither do they have plans to) and tell them the ID number during your first appointment.


So, depending on which I would prefer, I'd get a free session on any large area (calves, arms, thighs, back) or RM300 off if I sign on any packages other than the underarm hair removal.Or, you could read about it here. It's unlimited so you can save up as many friend referrals to you and splurge on a package at one go (you can save all of the RM300 vouchers up to a year).

Stuck to the wall at the Musee outlet :D
Now, there is also something complicating and mind-blowing to know about through this friend referral campaign that they've got. This is my formula: (I'm only going to say it once so please listen carefully, or you could just read up over and over again)

Assuming that when you signed up with a referral ID, you have 1) a RM300 voucher. 


 Now, you have also a birthday voucher which you get during your birthday month after you join, which entitles you to 2) a RM200 voucher (can also be saved up to a year, meaning to your next birthday).

Also, when you sign up to any large area (equals to 2 small areas) they throw in the unlimited underarm hair package free, which means that now you have 3) another RM288 to void.

This brings up to a total of 1) RM300 + 2) RM200 + 3) RM288 = RM788 off for the large area hair removal package you sign up on!

Plus, the more friends you refer, the more RM300 vouchers you get. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. 

The beautician told me that they were some customers who saved up so many within the year that they only paid a few ringgit when they signed up to the package. 

What? you gotta be kidding me

 OKOK enough of the deals and on to the process (yeap this is a crazy ass long post).

After the 45-min-long consulting session, I was brought to the changing room to change into a camisole. I chucked everything into my locker and that's why I have no pics, just have to entice you with my wordy descriptions (or steal pics from other blogs...depends on my mood).

Suggestion 1: Wear pants so that it's easier and you don't have to change into the kimono robe
Suggestion 2: When you call to make your appointment, specify that you'd like to do the treatment together with the consultation. Or else they'll make you wait and go another time. 

After changing, I was brought to the treatment room. There will always always always only be you and the single beautician inside the room and no one else. I know, cuz I asked. My friend wanted to go in and see. 

First, they prep the area: Covering youe eyes with tissue and a goggle like eye cover, cleaning, wiping, and also shaving excess fuzz. 
Next, they apply this super cold gel like thing to the target area. 
Followed by this deodorant like tube to buzz off the target area's hair follicles. 
All you will hear is "bzzzz! bzzzz! bzzzz!" with flashes of orange lights through your eye cover. 

After this, a wiping off followed by applying ice packs to the area for about 5 minutes.
Finally, moisturizing cream is applied and you're a free woman!
It took all of 15-20 minutes -___-
Pain level: 3.5/10 

I always thought that it would take longer, considering the years of my lifetime spent fighting with fuzz. 

Instructions for after care
 Anyways! Think about it, less than RM300 and your fuzz will be gone (well, underarm fuzz la to say the least). I have no regrets signing on, and I can tell you that you won't have any too.

Cheers!

UPDATE:
Just came back from my third session, and decided to brief you all :)
Hair is growing really slowly now, and the past month I think I only needed to shave like twice. HOHOHO.
Also, I am now signed on to 12 + 1 large session package which costs originally RM 4800 but after the promotional 20 + 15% discount only came up to RM 2448. Due to the fact that I have 7 referrals, each containing a RM300 off the package, plus the original underarm package, plus my birthday treat promo, it came up to:

RM 2448 - RM2100 - RM288 = RM60

I used my birthday promo to get one more free session instead of blowing a RM200 worth of birthday treat on my leftover of RM60 which I paid by cash. (Sorry if it sounds confusing. Comment below and I'll try to explain if you need help yea)

NOTE: Starting November, each friend referral will only be worth RM150 instead of the original RM300. This is part of the reason why I signed on to this package now instead of my original plan of holding out till the expiry date of one year (now half a year only).

Plus the underarm package is now giving out their really cool and totally harmless shavers free! I want one too... *wistful

Anyways, feeling contented now, cheers!
