I'd like to believe that my current hair cut/style "square bob with fringe" is a style that any…read morestylist in any kind of salon, even the cheap Php 50 cuts can effortlessly execute. This is why cheapskate me has been having haircuts in dodgy "parlors" here in the South. Well, so I tried getting a 50 peso haircut at another high-end looking salon that came with a bit of "ambience". Well it turned out horrible as the stylist couldn't even cut straight! Well, I obviously got what I paid for, I know! So, naturally I would find someone else who can fix my hair so I stopped by at Nilo's Cut Salon, who offers Php 100 haircuts for a trim with no shampoo (Php 180 with shampoo). Nilo has made a name for himself here in Better Living, and I believe he has a long list of 'suki's' already. I had no idea what the hair cut I wanted was called, so I fished out a photo from Pinterest (Haha!) and showed him a photo of this Parisian girl with a blunt cut. Nilo says "Ah, square bob". Okay, great! Nilo cuts hair effortlessly, and his hands are light and gentle, unlike some stylists whose hands and movements are a bit on the rough side. Nilo works through your hair with a feathery touch. Ten minutes later, my cut is done, and is the correct length I wanted! He also fixed my fringe as well (About my fringe, I only let stylists who I can trust to cut my fringe. Let's just say it's a precaution for ending up with another tragedy called 'baby bangs'). His assistant then proceeds to blow dry my hair after the cut, and after a few minutes, he goes "Para ka nang chandelier" (You look like a chandelier). "Chandelier? Huh...?" Then he says "The music video". If you know me, I am perpetually out of touch with pop music. If you're wondering what my haircut looked like after, search Chandelier by Sia on Youtube and spot the blonde Maddie Ziegler! So, except for the hair, I look nothing like that Parisian girl on the photo I brought, but I am very pleased with Nilo's quick service and expertise.

Like a lot of guys, I sometimes miss the good old days when the only place to get a haircut was a…read morebarber shop, not beauty parlors that now call themselves hair salons. There are a handful of barber shops near the place I call home, and the one that I went to most recently is known as Oragon barber shop. This place is definitely 'pang masa' as it is inside a lot that has several eateries outside. Everyday people eat at the compound, from taxi and tricycle drivers to mothers waiting for their kids at the nearby school to the workers of the nearby establishments like a supermarket, wet market and fruit stall. There are only two barbers at Oragon, which has a steady stream of customers all day. The place has a TV and is air-conditioned, and a basic haircut goes for P70. A shave also goes for the same amount. The reason I am sure to go back there for my monthly haircut is because my barber not only trimmed my mustache and sideburns, he also shaved my several weeks' beard (or what passes for one) for free. I gave him P100 and he was most thankful because the other barber had just gotten a P10 tip from his customer. There is nothing classy about Oragon, but I find it the ideal neighbourhood barber shop where everybody knows everybody. Sure there are parlors that offer P39.95 haircuts, but Oragon's barbers give the classic cut which starts with scissors, moves to electric shavers, and ends with a newly-sharpened razor. Five stars for this new favourite of mine.

I couldn't believe. I thought it was hilarious that this was all happening at the same time and had my doubts. Was totally impressed with the service and quality of work. My haircut was def what I wanted, hands and feet in great manicured shape, all this for about 1100 pesos (about $22)!!! I was in and out in 1 hour, no lie. This is the most efficient groom service I've experienced ever, best grooming regimen in any barber or salon ever. They do shaves/massages the classic way too. You must come here to check it out. Verdict: Oh hell yes I'm coming back. Visits: 1 Tip: Cash only. This location is in the Mall of Asia, MOA. It gets super busy in here and there's a wait if you don't have an appt. While you do this, your girl/ significant other can go to I think there are 2 salons next door; she can take her pick. Tip your barber or manicurist 100 pesos, about $2 before you leave.

There's something indefinably comforting about the straightforward treatment you get from an…read moreold-school barbershop, especially if you're a regular. Walk in, tell the barber (no stylists here) what you want and watch him ply his craft. Such is my experience at Sucat Barbers. The guys here are skilled enough to know how to do what you want, although men seeking the latest styling trends may be better off at a salon instead. The air-conditioning is strong, the razors and scissors are clean and sharp, and the gratis mini-massage after each session is good enough to leave you wanting more. More is indeed available, with a full massage lasting an hour and good enough to leave you eager for a nap afterwards. Most times, you won't even have to wait to get your hair cut, although on the rare occasion that there is a line, it typically doesn't take too long given the usual session length. Don't forget to tip!

The name of the place is Pipol's Barber Shop. Actually, it's not. It's real name is Pipol's Barber…read moreShop and Kidz Salon. It's grammatically incorrect, I know, but so what? It's a small business and its target clientele are young boys getting a haircut, which is a pretty difficult market. I have one toddler of a grandson and I know how hard it must be for him to get a haircut. For one, his hair is pretty curly, and for another he hardly ever stands or sits still. Since Pipol's is right beside the bakery where I buy my daily fix of pan de sal in the morning, and pan de coco in the afternoon, I get to peek at the place pretty regularly. Outside of Pipol's is one of those vending machines that sells P5 cups of coffee. Cup is actually not right. It's more like half a cup, or one-third a cup, but such is business. Adults like yours truly can also get haircuts at Pipol's. I must try it one of these days. For the meantime, I get to see kids from age 2 and up getting their locks shorn for possibly the first time. I remember as a kid, our elders would scare us when we were bad by saying, "hahabulin ka ng barbero!" Like barbers were bogey men to be feared. I'm hoping that the barbers at Pipol's are good with kids.
