I am not considered vain by most people, but I would gladly spend moolah on my hair. I don’t know about you, but while others have shopping as their official stress buster, going to the parlor is my personal pick-me-upper. My lowest of low moments would usually bring me to a salon. But not that often. Haha.
I’ve seen a lot of men and women change their hairstyle overnight. I bet 98% of them won’t give you an “I just felt like it” answer when asked why. Based on my personal experience and that of others, a lot of changes happen after going through something painful – like a breakup or an unexpected heartache. And when it comes to hair, it’s not just your regular once-a-month trim. I’m talking about going from extremely long to super short, giving up silky straight hair for large, wavy curls, getting some highlights or changing hair color completely.
There is something about salons that raises your self-esteem after. Maybe it’s that extra shine or the added smoothness that you won’t ever get from your regular conditioner. The free iced tea and the five-minute massage, perhaps? Maybe it’s the fact that you get prettified without having to lift a finger. Whatever it is, one thing’s for sure. It’s a tangible manifestation of the phrase “out with the old, in with the new.” And I guess, sometimes, that is all we need. ;)
Over the years, I have browsed through forums to give me ideas as to where to go when I wanted that change. Here are some of the most popular replies:
1) Louis Kee (for long hair) or Sunny (for short hair) of Razzle and Dazzle - Rada St., Makati
2) Roger (cut) and James (eyebrow threading) of Toni and Guy at 6750
3) Rose of Azta Metrowalk (haircut)
4) Rey of Hairshaft - Podium (haircut)
5) Joseph of Basement Salon - Rockwell (cut and color)
