The day I decided to go to Piandre at Ayala 30th was actually unplanned. I had a looong and…read morestressful morning; add to that the holiday traffic! So, before heading back to the office, I decided to give my hair some TLC and refresh my red hair. I didn't even call beforehand to make an appointment. I walked in and asked if there was a stylist available and the receptionist told me they had a Senior Stylist who was free. She did tell me the rates Senior Stylist compared to the Junior Stylist before I accepted (which I appreciated!). If I was willing it wait, a Junior Stylist could assist me in an hour. Since I didn't have the time and I was really excited just to get my hair colored, I went for the Senior Stylist! As my check-ins have shown, I am a regular at the Piandre branch in Promenade Greenhills. This branch is more spacious than the GH branch. Like all Piandre Salons, they offer you beverages like Iced Tea, Water, and Brewed Coffee while you wait. After meeting with Jerwin, we both went over some pictures on what hair style I want. We decided to go with a shoulder-length bob. For my hair color, they just looked through my records of what hair color they use on my hair at Promenade. So quick and easy... Love it!!! My hair came out looking gorgeous! So happy that my hair was more vibrant and my hair had more volume! Thank you to Jerwin for making me feel beautiful! If I need a quick beauty fix, I will be sure to be back here :)

I love Jing Monis Salon. And Jing Monis himself. He gave me one of the best haircuts of my life!…read more And all thanks to Judy Ann Santos. Yup, that Judy Ann. Juday. The celebrity. Don't judge. If you've been following Juday's hairstyles these days, you would understand this big decision. And moment of hair fandom. That day, at the salon, I sheepishly showed a photo of Juday's so-chic shoulder-length bob to Jing, hoping that the people around me wouldn't think I was Juday's biggest fan (but damn, I sure seemed like that person that day). My "shyness" was overpowered by Jing's "omg I gave her that haircut!!!!" OMG JING GAVE JUDAY THAT HAIRCUT. I was ecstatic, excited and just couldn't wait for him to give me the same haircut already! Jing, game naaaaa! He finally got to work - precisely and meticulously snipping here and there, until voilà: I had Juday's hair!! But I didn't just get her hair that day. I also got some of the celebrity-level, five-star Jing Monis service she's used to. Something I absolutely won't mind getting used to as well!

Azta is that great mid-range salon that gives quality cuts and other services without you having to…read morespend way too much. It has several branches around Metro Manila but I recommend either the one in Robinsons Metro East or the one in Eastwood Citywalk. Both have friendly staff and perform their services really well. Take advantage of their hair coloring services! They're very active with making these special packages and promos for on-trend styles like ombres, dip-dyes, digiperms, etc. It's good to go here if you want to try new looks with funky styles and colors just for kicks. I got my digiperm a while back at the Metro East branch and it turned out great! When you're there, ask for senior stylists Mel or Leah. They're great with both cuts and styling. At Eastwood, go with Andy.

I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. Sometimes I love it, but most of the time I just want…read moreto shave it all off. Even though it's really straight, it gets messy when the place I'm in becomes too hot. It just can't handle the heat. At first, it was really manageable, but when I started to grow it out, it became more and more difficult to style. After searching for hair tips on Google, I decided to finally trim it down, so that it would look nice when it grows to the length that I want. My favorite go-to place for my hair trim is Glam Hair Studio. This hair salon is just outside my subdivision so it's really accessible. The stylists there are really nice; they would even provide suggestions on what I should do with my hair to keep it "tamed". They have lots of services to offer. They provide manicures, pedicures, and even hair relaxation. The place is also really comfortable. It looks just like the dressing room of a celebrity, with its bright lights and really big mirrors. It's also cheaper compared to most salons out there; a trim will only cost you 150 pesos!

I was thoroughly impressed with this salon and its stylists…read more I'll get straight to the point before elaborating and say I give my results a 10. And I'm picky...My detailed descriptions of what I want have confused stylists before. Color Bar understood me though, because today I got the kind of hair I've wanted since I started dyeing it as a teen! Asked for ash brown/blond on my stubborn black roots and that's what I got! I went from faded unicorn purple and coral streaks plus a blue green piece, to my dream hair after Jof's consult and Anagen's color correction job (see my before and after shots). My over processed hair now looks healthier as well. Jof's consult was patient and thorough, and Anagen executed the results with the most delicate touch I've ever felt. I would go back to her next time. I am so glad that I put my trust in this salon instead of waiting after my flight back to the U.S. where I get my hair done at BeScene, an international competition winning salon near Washington DC that is big on Instagram. Jof was hip enough to recognize that salon and its founder when I mentioned, and I'll attest that their work today is as good as BeScene's at a fraction of the cost. I also appreciate that the salon is fashionably decorated, full of natural light and plants and has a beautiful clean bathroom and cafe. Well done guys, and thank you. PS that was also the first review I have ever written a salon, I am usually lazy but I had to give credit where due : )

I am naturally curly (2b curls) and it took years for my curls to get there. I followed her advice - she said it will just remove the frizz but maintain the curls. I ended up with pin straight hair. I have a feeling its for commission without respecting the clients request. Even had the audacity to sell me shampoo after. If you're curly, dont go here. If you want what you request respected, don't go there. Dont buy anything; they're selling it not because you need it but because they do.

I gave it a try even though my mother warned me. Had my hair done, with base color and balayage…read more The stylist Bernard (not sure if this is his name) does not know how to mix color. He sounded confident when I asked him what he would do, and the color I want. He did the whole base color and it was not the color we agreed about, then he did the balayage I was hoping the highlights will be better as I explained again what color I want to achieve (golden yellowish brown, I specifically ask to avoid tinge of red) In the end he turned my hair into orange, brown but very orangy. When I told him my expectation again, about wanting the balayage color to be yellowish golden, not orange, he said he did went to a seminar on how to do balayage and threw the bowl of color and walked out. Charged me P7,500, actually more, for a cheap looking hair color. VERY RUDE STYLIST, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. PEOPLE BEWARE. I dont know why he got upset and wanting to prove he knows how to do balayage but in the end he was not able to make his customer happy by following what color was discussed early on.

I'm always in the Philippines and I have been going to many salon places here. By far, this salon…read morehas been the best place because they are organized first of all and has professional services all in one and a very comfortable vibe feel. I tried to be cheap but you get what you paid for, right?! This is located by the parking garage or in front of the outside Starbucks store in the Shangri-la Plaza Mall. Very easy to find as it's on the outside of the mall. They have two floors. They offer different services like wax, nails, massage, haircuts and color blends all the way to 7 colors!! I really wanted to color my hair fire red with flames! Hahaha My mom wanted her hair cut and colored white gray (3400 php) to blend with her coming white hair but she had colored her hair previously so Ernie suggested a blend due to her dry hair and because it was colored already. It turned out great!! It was a mixture of brown with silver highlights. Sometimes, in the sun, it looked really gray! It was kind of neat! He was very gentle with her which I liked. I mean he had the patience with her. They always offered us something to drink. While she was getting her hair done, they did her pedi (Judy) and mani (Joy)(750php) at the same time while waiting for the color to set. Many places in the PI do not have professional massage chairs for people to get a mani/pedi like in the States. I wonder why? They like to do all at once and go to where you are to get the job done quicker maybe? I had my hair treated (2800php) for long hair because my hair was getting dry due to the Philippines water. Tess massaged my head, back & shoulders, had my hair washed and curled for my hair treatment service. It turned out great. I also had them change the color of my feet and hand nails for 150 php ea pair; not bad by Beth. Thank goodness they had a big selection of good nail polishes but still limited to the colors I really wanted...but still! The nail polishes were not old! I also had an underarm wax (450php) by Eryl which she used the new gel type wax that smells like wheat. It didn't hurt at all but it takes a few times to finish vs a honey wax. I prefer the honey wax better for some reason as it also lifts the color of your underarms. All in all, if you are looking for great services and options, this is the place to go! I hear this is owned by a older Filipino basketball player turned actor?! Interesting! [15/100]

I stumbled across Felipe and Sons while scrolling through Instagram and I really liked their aesthetic. Their setup in Ortigas is the real deal. Hardwood floors, old-school chairs, full-bar and floor-to-ceiling mirrors. While waiting for my appointment on the dark leather couch, I felt as though I was on a scene of Mad Men or something. Now for the cut. I was a bit apprehensive because the barber that scooped me up wasn't conversastional, like at all. I got a nice hot towel to start though and then he got to work after I explained what I wanted. Luckily my fears were unfounded! What takes 25 minutes at some other salons and barbershops took him nearly an hour--and that's a good thing. This barber (it's a shame I didn't catch his name), took the time to really give me a good fade, thin out my top, and even did a sick job on my sides. You could tell that he had a really, really skilled manner in the way he manipulated the clippers and scissors. I got a shampoo and another hot towel after. Awesome! The arm and neck massage was also super relaxing. He even gave me some good tips about what kind of pomade to use for my cut and how he'd work with what the other barber did wrong apparently from when I got a cut from somewhere else. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a new place to get a haircut. For only 280 pesos the quality of the cut was amazing. I already scheduled my next haircut.
