the salon with the best service and ambience is_____

[pxaddict]

post now........

[Denise`]

uhm... Piandre :)

[ross]

i don't know... no basis for comparison cause i only go to david's. i grew up with a barber cutting my hair pero when i went to david's, hay... sarap pala ng shampoo

[Ira]

I would have to say David's in Katipunan. I've been their customer for over 10 years, so they treat me very, very well. They know me, they know what color of highlights I put in my hair, they know who cuts my hair, they know how my hair grows and what is and isn't suitable for me, and when I arrive they quickly usher me in so I don't have to wait. But I think they don't do that to all their customers, unfortunately--nadala lang kasi I've patronized their establishment na kahit di pa David's ang pangalan ng parlor na iyon.

[tr|n|ty]

I love BCBG in 6750..great service and cutting edge technique!!! grabe....kinda steep but compared to prices in the states, it's such a bargain. You can order food from Cibo and then they ake these killer capuccinos that put figaro or starbucks to shame :D i recommend it!

[Mavi]

I used to have mine in David's Katipunan as well. They're reasonably priced and I could relax when I let them do whatever they want with my hair. But that was back in my college days. Now I have my hair done at Arriba's along Zapote rd.(across alabang Town Center). It's steeply priced but the service is worth it. Look for Jeric.

Oh, and the ambiance: modern funk. (not punk, mind you)

[ChiQui]

Conio gurl...
I heard about BCBG from my tita. FOr the longest time, she had trouble with her thick hair but now, well, she looks great! But my personal choice is still David's Salon. :)

[Ka Dante]

Ricky Reyes in Greenhills.
i don't know if the reason why badings make better hairdresser is because they're more talkative but i certainly enjoyed the brainless chatter of my bading, Arnel

[tr|n|ty]

Chiqui maweh!! Anong conio gurl ka dyan!! hehe well david's is always cool...hehe lalo na katipunan! anyways, i hope to see ya in a few days! i'm going home again :)
say hi to JP for me :D

[Zen]

I go to Hairbytes at Katipunan. Sorry, but I never liked the service nor the cut in any David's branch. :(

[Ira]

Zen: I guess it depends on the hairstylist assigned to you din. My hairstylist in David's understands my hair, and they charge very reasonably, so I'm happy with them. Doesn't matter naman where you have it cut...going to the most expensive place in town isn't going to assure you that you have a nice haircut, anyway, no matter what the hairstylists there say. :)

[orano]

i used to have my haircut din sa david's katipunan pero sabi nga, that was during college days...

and then i saw this friend with a really cool haircut tapos sabi niya sa roger craig daw, sa penn. i went there and liked what the hair stylist did to my hair!

[CaRaMBa]

Like ross, no basis for comparison 'cause I only go to David's. I'm not into parlors talaga. But I'm satisfied with them and it's near, so there you go.

[Zen]

Nah, not just the hairstylist. You remember the time I was with you? Took them 2 hours to get to me for a manicure (na nasira rin 10 minutes later). Laging ganun experience ko dun, kaya never mind. ;)

[tInKeRbElL]

hey people....ive had long hair forever and i was wondering where i could go for a haircut-i want it short but i have this certain style in mind that i want and im nervous cos as i said, ive had long hair for the past like 10 years!I dont trust david's because every single time ive gone there for a cut theyve messed up. any suggestions and can u give me the prices na rin? THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

[Ira]

tinkerbell: Roger Craig would be a safe bet. My cousins have their hair done there regularly, and he has a well-deserved reputation of excellence.

[tInKeRbElL]

ira-thanks-how much would a cut be?

[Ira]

Not sure. But knowing my cousins---MAHAL!! hehe. But if you're considering a drastic change in hairstyle, might as well invest on it on a place that does it well, then just have it trimmed somewhere cheaper, di ba? I'd guess PhP1000 would be ample.

[orano]

tinkerbell: a haircut in Roger Craig costs P500.

[TommYGirL]

roger craig or the one in jupiter street frank provost. i think same price lang sila. my friend goes to frank provost and she told me that they're good. hope u have a nice cut :)

[VaMpeEh]

Piandre :)

[BiMeR10]

the best salon for me is FRANK PROVOST!
this is the only salon that satisfied me in terms of hair cut, hightlights and ambiance!
the staff are very friendly and attentive!
Customer satisfaction is guaranteed!!!

[BadGiRL]

PROPAGANDA
i like the place, clean and very modern
i like the stylist, good and very cute (dba peps?) ;)
i love what jing did to my hair!

hmm..hrap ata i-maintain ito e.. every how long kaya ako dapat bumalik doon?

the price is reallyyyyy steep...but it's worth every peso i paid and the risk of being grounded for life! and i'm definitely going back! oh yes i am!

[Reinne]

Regine's (Parksquare)
excellent service! very friendly people and accommodating. Their cuts are very stylish and fashionable. The make up they use are all hypo-allergenic and non comedogenic so it won't clog pores and its long lasting pa.
Ambience is great, its so clean.

[Flare!]

shoesmaryopes!

shoemalonpas!

whateva happened to the barberya ni Mang Kepweng ober da der at da kanto?

presyong pampamilya na, kwentohang barberya pa!

OHA!!!

[CirclEnd]

Warning!!!!dont go to David's Salon Galleria Suites Branch!!!!!"I worked in San Francisco USA and I know my job !!!!" quotation from a Hairstylist...He'll ruin your Hair!!!!and the service is awfull, they even forgot to give me the finishing touches, they did lang after i reminded them to...

[louisvuittonchiq]

Best salon for me would be AT FRANCK PROVOST. Excellent in haircut, service and ambiance!

[BadGiRL]

peps: oh yeah sister!!!!! bargain na bargain na ako sa binayad ko...lol! not only did my hair turn out great, cutie at yummy pa si jing! lol! whattadeal! ;) btw...everyone at home is raving abt my hair...lol! mga inggit na inggit...nanay ko nalang ang deadma!

circlend: hmmm.... kasama ka ata namin sa outreach dba? tama ba?

super mahal naman ata sa frank provost... 1000 bucks hair cut lang dba?

[CirclEnd]

Badgirl- Yup!!!!

[Erikka]

Peps & Badgirl: We have the same hairstylist, Jing Monis. He is really great. Pero guys, pati ba naman si Jing, la kayong patawad, lol.

Propaganda is really good in haircuts.Look for Alex or Jing. Salon de Manila does my highlights.

[BadGiRL]

erikka: e! cute talaga no! napatanga nalang ako sa kanya noon inaayos nya hair ko e...hehehe... tumahimik nalang ako noong sinabi nyang "when was the last time u had ur hair cut? i want to layer this!" grabe demanding e..pero wala e..cute sobra e..so tahimik nalang ako..hinayaan ko na sya sa magic scissors nya...d ko na tinarayan.... kahit na bading cute parin... oh glory...ano ba itong pinagsasabi ko...weheheheh..... ganda talaga ng hair namin ni peps...wehehehe...worth it na worth it....actually yung kay peps si alex ang hairstylist nya... btw.. musta na?

circlend: oh i c! :) happy new year!

[mizzcherrypie]

ako rin, i don't have any basis for comparison because i had my hair cut & highlighted only at a david's salon branch in makati during my vacation in the philz last year...even though i've only been there once, i have to agree that david's is one fine & funky salon...the staff were very attentive & they really make you feel like a princess (naks)...the price was indeed very steep but it was well worth it...i loved the way the hairstylist treated my hair that i still remember his name: alex jimenez...when i come back i'll make sure that i visit them again...

[king_jesse]

ya, speaking of Alex Jimenez, he was my stylist during his stint in David's Greenbelt. Heard he's now in Galleria. Galing nung guy na yun, at tsaka hindi siya plastic tulad ng ibang bading na mangkukulot! LOL!

hmmm...i'm considering Propaganda na!

[mizzcherrypie]

king jesse: bakla nga ba si alex? my cousin who i went with & i were debating about his gender because he wasn't very obvious...he didn't really act that effeminate like other gay hairstylists kaya we thought that he wasn't...anywayz, like you said, he wasn't plastic...he seemed very nice...so he's in galleria na pala...i'll make sure to take note of that...

[oweynch]

De Cut Salon
Remedios, Malate

[king_jesse]

mizzcherypie: hehe u were ryt about that, baka hindi nga bading si Alex, or at least he's discrete about it, but then again, iba talaga siya coz he's mabait and courteous. he was the first stylist to tell me not to have the sides of my hair razored. he hates undercuts and inhuman (correct word?) crew cuts!

[BadGiRL]

king jesse: go! go! worth it sobra! and as peps told me the night before i went to propaganda..."you know it's gonna be perfect"...wehehehe....

say,peps, nag aadvertise na tayo for propaganda ah...hmmm...dapat bayaran na tayo..weheheh....

but then, i only get my hot oil treatment at david's malabon...great massage... wehehehe

[king_jesse]

BadGiRL: how much is a haircut, say, I get Jing or Alex Carbonell? Siyempre, may tip pa yon, di ba?

[BadGiRL]

jing or alex P500--haircut... bahala ka na sa tip mo...pero syempre kailangan mo bigyan ng tip...wehehehe... besides d ka na aaray kung bibigyan mo ng tip yun kasi maganda talaga lalabas... u have to set an appt pa ata i think...si peps kasi ang nag set ng appt for me e...

[king_jesse]

BadGiRL/PePs: sino sa Propaganda ang magaling sa men's haircuts?
i would like to have mine made over but without the highlights or any color kze that's just not me =)

[Fortes in Fide]

Doon na lang ako sa barberia ni Mang Berto.

Fifty pesos lang may kasama ng masahe at kwentong nakakatawa. May pacute cute pa doon sa tabi at nagmamanicure daw.

Pagkalabas sa Barber Shop, pogi pa rin naman ang dating eh kahit compared doon sa mga galing sa salon ni Miss Facifica Jowskopohw.
May marami pang sobra na datung for other things diba?! ;)

Kung kayo happy pa rin sa salon, nasa inyo na yun!

:) :) :)

[clone]

Salon with the best service?...hmmm, good question.

For sure it has to be Salonpas. It never fails to serve me and ease my aching muscles after a vigorous workout.

[king_jesse]

PePs: i called them up for an appointment. i'm going to get my cut on wednesday. it better be good =)

[tr|n|ty]

ei guys!! i tried out propaganda...and i got Jing..he was really good and i love my hair cut :) thanks for the suggestion..now i can go to propaganda and bcbg whenever i'm in town!

[BadGiRL]

peps: o ha! say mo? :) galing talaga natin mag advertise.. at credible talaga tayo...tingnan mo may nag try na at may nag appt na!....wehehehe...

trinity... cute ni jing no? weheheh... kainis bading pa kasi e! argh~! :)

king jesse: it will be good... promise! ;) ngee... parang ako ang gugupit e..weheheh... pero don't worry monis is good!
... balitaan mo kami ha! :)

[Blister]

BCBG - Bad Haircut, Good Service

Frank Provost (Jupiter)- Good Ambience, Good Service

Salon de Manila - Good hair color, Hair cut is good as long as you get the senior girl hairdresser, but the ambience needs improvement.

Roger Craig (Manila Peninsula) - Good Haircut, nice service and ambience :)

David's salon - Affordable, the haircut depends on who the hair dresser is, the ambience.. hmmm... it's too crowded.

[yellow]

wow im almost convinced that propaganda is the best salon in town
and ive been itching for a new look
around how much tip should i give?

note to SASA - thanks for telling me about this page - im going to log on everyday :)

[BadGiRL]

errr... hundred if u feel ur 500-bucks-a-haircut had given ur hair and wallet justice.... if not..d k na alam.. bahala ka na siguro...

[king_jesse]

PePs: mataray daw sila sa Propaganda. Paano na yan? hindi naman ako artista o society boy? (LOL)

[king_jesse]

PePs/BadGiRL:

just got my cut and I love it! grabe u were ryt about the salon and Jing. I didn't have to elaborate what kind of cut I want. He just did it accgd to my hair texture and face shape. galing.

babalik talaga ako. i'll recommend it to my friends. magkakacrush nga ang girl friends ko sa kanya. =)

[tr|n|ty]

BadGirl-oo nga eh...sayang talaga si jing! hehe funny nga eh..neighbor ko pala sya sa states :D but he's gay and too short for me.. hehehe

yah i have to agree with king_jesse, i didn't have to elaborate on what i wanted and now everybody says my hair looks good :D... sayang nga, Jing used this crude mud that's like a gel but not too oily...it was really nice and good to use..pero HA! ang mahal..for a pot of it..mga 950 pesos..ano ka HILO! wag na uy! mag tya tyaga nalang ako mag mouse, blower tapos gel....all of that is much less than the damn crude mud crap! hehe

[BadGiRL]

king jesse= o see? di va? galing no? uupo kanalang. tapos sya na bahala! mahal lang nga! wehehehhe... hehehe..oo nga e..magiging crush ng bayan yun...lol!

trinity: oo nga e.. *sob*! ;) ..u didn't have to elaborate... buti nga nakapag salita ka pa e... ako titig nalang..hinayaan ko na sya gumipit! wehehehe... and everyone too is saying my hair is great...wehehehe... pati yung coloring! one month na~! maganda pa rin! oh well, u really PAY for quality. gusto ko yung ginamit nilang grease na sebastian after blower. how much kaya yun?

peps: oh see? *ehem* wala talaga tayo magagawa kung credible ang mga pinagsasabi natin at d lang puros hangin. kahit na ayaw pa maniwala ni king jesse sa una..wehehhe.... (yaks ang kapal!) :)

[g-whiz]

i tied out propaganda for the first time last week because ive been getting very good reviews from friends whove been there, i got alex, and he was cool coz i have long hair and i wanted it short and he was like nope, we should do it litle by little coz i might get overwhelmed, so he took like 2 and a half inches off my hair and added more layers, i love it.i head that its jing whos good with short hair? so maybe when im ready to just cut it all of....hehehehe
oh and i like their make up there..it looks clean and its le'clerc hehehe...coz u know how some salons have like really gross looking make up, and they dont even know how to put it on people...

[louisvuittonchiq]

any of you guys know where Aga Muhlach gets his hair done? :)

[24/7]

ok ba sa ARRIBA sa alabang? do you know yung range for hair & make-up? and also if anybody knows their no. post nyo naman ... thanx

[king_jesse]

still propaganda after a few tries in other salons....

[BadGiRL]

lol@king jessie.
feel ko nga e.
d pa nga ako bumabalik e. kasi maganda pa yung bagsak.

[blue_MD]

hey badgirl, king_jesse and peps
where is propaganda?
im so intrigue about how great good-looking gay, jing, cuts ur hair
imma try it too...just wanna know where it is and its phone number so i can get an appointment...or else imma go to David's Katipunan again...

[blue_MD]

oooopss...i got it na pala from the first page...hehehe

[keiwai]

how much do u usually tip those guys from propa? shucks pwede na kayong publicists for propa ha :) hmm... i keep hearing vewy great things abt propa. i think its abt time i try it out... my hair is so .. i dunno how 2 describe it.. basta i really hope they can fix it.
oh, and how much would it take to have hair (short) colored and hilighted there at propa? ok ba roger craig for hair color?
bcbg sounds good din, coz i like angel jacob's hair...
argh i can't decide!! :(

[bugsbunny]

im still partial sa David's dito sa Ever Commonwealth. they know kasi what i want and ever since i moved sa may Commonwealth dun na ako eh. i tried Salon de Manila. its ok pero mahal eh. i wanna try Frank Provost kaso sa susunod na lang pag may pera na ako http://www.pinoyexchange.com/silly.gif

[tr|n|ty]

go peps!! hehehe mabuhay ang mga alagad ni alex and jing http://www.pinoyexchange.com/silly.gif

as for BCBG, it's pretty good. That's the other salon i go to whenever i'm in town. But i think i'm going to be a loyal propanganda client starting this summer. As for Frank Provost, it's highly overrated and very expensive. My tita goes there and she gets the same haircut and highlight job i get from propaganda..she paid 3000 pesos!!! HELLO! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/cyclops.gif eh i just paid 1500 for everything in Propaganda!!! BUT then again, if you have the money to burn, y not?

[BadGiRL]

peps! 1500 ata ang highlights for long hair ah.
mahal nga talaga. kaso ****..worth it!

[keiwai]

the highlights & hair dye hav separate price? kasi pag 700-1000 for d highlights, pretty reasonable yun ah... hmmm waaaaaahhhhhh i need 2 hav a major makeover naiinis na 'ko bored talaga 'ko this summer... hahaha :)

[steph]

hhahahhaah dami ngang alagad nina jing and alex!! :D

i was a propaganda client din before, and it was jing who did my hair whenever i go there!! ok nga eh coz he did wonders to my hair kasi thick hair ko eh!! ok din ambiance dun!! :D

pero after a while, ti-nry namin sa bcbg, and ok dun!! pareho naman ng range sa propaganda yung price e pero para sakin mas ok din yung ambiance tsaka service...it was nida who did my hair and ang galing nya!! marami rin syang clients, and even yung boss tumitingin while she did my hair...hahahah d ata makapaniwala yung boss kasi numipis yung hair ko eh!! :D ok din yung mga tao nila dun!! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/girl.gif

[blue babe]

hmmm... started out in roger craig's before pa. mga 4 years ago. service was excellent and the cuts were fantastic.

then, all the good people left! i followed crispin and lucy to hairbytes in shangrila. okay naman. pero one time, crispin gave me a REALLY BAD cut! as in... grabe...umiyak ako. didn't go to work, didn't go to school.
then i switched to angelo. he's now with franck provost. fantastic man. love him!!! i generally just sit down and say, sige, cut it na lang. i just don't want to be hassled by it. and he hasn't failed me yet. and i love the salon. its so clean and service is impeccable! they never keep you waiting, and if matatagalan ka, they massage you and pamper you to death. and the cuts aren't that expensive. di naman P1000. P495 a cut. at least, that's what they charge me. plus tip (i give angelo 150 or 200 and the assistants 50 each) bagsak, mga 700-750. okay lang. worth it.

sorry to all the david's fans out there, but once, because i wanted to make tipid a little, i went to david's makati ave. NEVER AGAIN!!! grabe. they made me wait. masungit yung receptionist, and when i asked the girl who gave me a hot oil for extra time sa masahe, she REFUSED!!! hanggang 15 minutes lang daw! and to think i had a manicure, pedicure, footscrub, hotoil and cut! i would think they'd give me a little more importance no!

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/grrr.gif grr... unlike in franck provost, princessa ako! i get my money's worth. kaya di ako nanghihinayang magpagupit dun no!!! worth it talaga. EXCELLENT!!!

[Calypso]

blue babe: True ka dyan! David's is awful.

Or maybe David's Katipunan lang (sorry, Doc!). I first had my hair cut there in 2nd year high school, and they absolutely destrpyed my hair. And to think na ang dali dali nalang ng buhok ko, coz I have straight, blah hair. It was just a silly hair cut, pero tabingi!!

The next time, I said I'd give them a try again. Baka naman nagkamali lang ako the first time. But NO!! It happened again. This time, when I requested a certain length (chin level)... ginawa ba namang waay above my chin, and I looked disgustingly like a boy. Eeew!!

After a year, i granted them another chance to redeem themselves. This time, i asked my hair to be layered... and what did I achieve?? An apple cut!! Ngek!! Ang layo non, ha!!

But still i gave them a fourth chance, since all my friends insisted that they're a good salon. This time, my hair was long already, so all i wanted was a trim. And since that was all i was there for, tinarayan ako since i asked not my hair to be given any 'in' style. Hmph!

[BiOMAN]

IRA: who's ur hairstylist?! :)

[:p]

PROPAGANDA!

BCBG Okay na din!

:)

[Kath_]

For everyone living in the QC area... and for those who want value AND good service, try SALON 108 along Congressional Avenue in Proj. 8. They're VERY clean (i think this is very important), modern and they offer various services at very reasonable prices (waaaaaaay below the price ranges the rest of you mentioned). :) This is my opinion, but from experience, if you were looking for a salon with the price range of DAVID's, try checking out the one i'm recommending instead. It's less commercialized pa. :)

[yeee]

Davids Katipunan---->;they treat my hair nice
Tapos pag alalng pera sa Valle Verde Country Club, yung sal,on dun, para credit...hehehheeheheh.Kaso antagal maggupit dun eh...10 years eh kakapiranggot lang naman ang i tritrim nila
sows...

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/smokin.gif

:confused:

..nde talaga ako maka-relate coz don lang sa malapit na "salon" sa 'min ako nagpapatrim eh!!!...at least mura lang,dba??? http://www.pinoyexchange.com/bleh.gif

[angelicDAW]

PROPAGANDA is the best! before my propaganda days, i would make sure that i havent made plans to go out after a haircut kasi baka panget (which is almost always true. kasi kahit yung cut ok lang, yung pag blow dry naman is so un-natural and puffy). the first time i had my hair cut in propaganda (by rita), i was pleasantly surprised with the result. normally kasi when i ask other hairdressers what's bagay, they would say "ikaw, anong gusto mo?" which is really irritating kasi they should know better nga. rita gives suggestions and she doesnt just go and cut your hair whichever way you want it, she'll tell you if it's a good idea or not. recently, nagmamadali kasi ako so i just had my haircut at david's. it's weird but i almost felt guilty (feeling ko nag-cheat ako haha!). i swore to myself i'll just go back to propaganda. it's the best i've tried!

[king_jesse]

Did u watch the Propaganda peeps sa Martin Late at Nite?

verdict: half of them are better of putting make up and cutting hair.

[BadGiRL]

king jesse: pero cute pa rin si jing d ba? :D

angelicDAW: I'm sure you have a great haircut, si Rita stylist mo eh :) Alex is great,too. Propaganda Rules!

[king_jesse]

BadGiRL: oo naman. hehe, nahurt ko ba feelings mo?

[BadGiRL]

king jesse: hehehhehe. ;)

i like jing better than rita. my last haircut, rita cut my hair. kasi sunday e. ndi ko alam wala pala si jing noong sunday. pero like ko din yung kinalabasan.

[novalee]

Wow great reviews for Propaganda ha!!

Badgirl, peps and the rest of the Propaganda fanatics: I have long hair and i want to keep it that way until my graduation (which is soon), but i want to have long layers at the back. I don't want those short layers anymore because it's such a high maintenance 'do esp. with my hair texture..so anyway, who do you recommend - Jing (not because he's a cutie ha!), Alex (i heard he's good with long hair?) or Rita (I saw the makeover she did for Cosmo mag and it's really great)?
Thanks guys :)

[tr|n|ty]

haha mabuhay ang mga Propaganda-philes!! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

[tabel]

i recommend paradigm sa makati shangri-la...there's also one in glorietta. though it's quite expensive...but ok lang...:>;

[yelker]

I think I'm gonna wake up this thread. :)

After I've heard and read all the raves about Propaganda, I've decided to give it a shot. I have an appointment with Alex for Wednesday. I hope it's really as good as everyone says. :)

[vampy]

HEADZONE in shangrila-hotel in mandaluyong r da best
ang babait ba ng mga tao.. look 4 jane 4 da best make-up.

[swaymyway]

thanks to this topic i tried propaganda and all i can say is they're the best! rita was the one who cut my hair =) my hair was sooo long and i wanted a make over. i told her i wanted to cut my hair short n she's like.. let's not make it so short coz baka mabigla, ako na bahala! the result: l it was soo nice, everyone was loved my haircut! i'm definitely going back 2 propaganda!

[Wicca]

I have a regular hairstylist at Salon (along Pasay Road, Makati). Joseph is the only person I allow to cut my hair (he's been doing that since I was in high school). He's really good :)

I've tried BCBG for Highlights. Their service was good & their staff is friendly naman. The job they did was ok naman, not bad but I expected better. Their prices are pretty steep though.

So which is better, Propaganda or Franck Provost? In terms of service, price (for highlights & haircut), everything :) And what about Basement? Is that pretty good too? Please compare, I need to see which salon I wanna try out next. Thanks :)

[BadGiRL]

Well, I tried both Propaganda and Provost.

I had a haircut and highlight sa Propaganda dati.

For now, puros hair cuts lang ako sa Provost.

I'm more at home sa Provost. The staff is friendlier and the ambience is waaaay better than Propaganda. And Angelo is simply wonderful!

I find the staff at Propaganda snooty. And they are more expensive na ha. But Jing Monis is great...and cute pa. :D I like the color he did sa hair ko dati. And the haircut he gave me was great. Since I had long hair that time and I didn't really expect much can be done sa hair ko, kasi naman d ba pag long hair layers lang and stuff. Well, he placed better layers. NO kidding, ang galing talaga ng labas. :D

Pero for now, Provost ako.

[Mitzel]

I go to Franck Provost too. After years and years of finding just the right salon, I'm glad I tried Provost. I have "sponghado" hair plus a bit of curls. What I like about my stylist (MJ) is that even before she had my hair washed she checked on how my hair "fell", where the curls were, etc., then she decided on the best cut for me. She did a good job. I can go for over a month without a trim and I don't have to worry about "tikwas".

[BadGiRL]

mitzel: exactly!
:D
When I had long hair, my friend and I suddenly decided to cut our hair short as in really really drastically short. E tyempo we were in Rob Place.E knowing me,if I want it, I want it done na-agad! So DAvid's lang talaga. Maganda naman yung labas, but after a week ang panget na! As in tikwas and all. I had to use mousse (spell check) to tame my hair.

And my hair is straight ha. AS in walang curls or anything. And never pa ako gumamit ng mousse to tame my hair. Noonlang.

And then, bluebabe introduced me to F.Provost, grabe agn galing, 2 months bago ako bumalik, and wala pang tikwas and anything yun ha! Now yung mousse na binili ko..dust collector nalang.:D Sayang pera.

Last haircut ko, noong december 8, so medyo 3 months na ok parin hair ko! Ang galing! :D Pero babalik na ako, gusto ko na paikli ulet e. heheheheh. Pero after ng chicken pox ko. :D Mga next next week siguro.

kaya nga, you pay good money for quality.

some ppl likes to berate me for paying that much money for a haircut...e..the point is, najujustify ko naman sa SARILI ko yung ginagastos ko e. so tuloy ang ligaya! :D

[Mitzel]

I have my hair done sa Cocoy's Salon which is okay naman..nasusunod iyong gusto ko but i feel i need some new hairstyle..do all the Salons you mentioned also good in Men's hairstyle?..puro girls yata ang nagpopost..pls. let me know..i'm willing to shell out kasi a few hundreds basta totally new look ako...my usual haircut is Barber's Gradual Cut..i'm scared kasi mag try ng bagong hairdresser...thanks for your speedy posts!

[dee-dee]

hmmm...magkano ba ang average na binabayad sa Provost? i want to try having my haircut done there!

[Mitzel]

Hi Dee dee

Regular trim done by a senior stylist is P480. I think it's more expensive if you ask the french stylists to do your hair. MJ does a good job. Good luck!

[BadGiRL]

mitzel: last i went there it was 550 kay Angelo.

[tr|n|ty]

provost is really good. I got angelo to do my hair and color. i didn't really ask for anything spectacular with my hair during that time because i was growing it out. the color definitely looks soooooooo good. all praises from everybody

propaganda is also good. i try to go there as often as i can whenever i'm home. and Jing can be very 'snooty' looking but if you make him chika, di naman gaano. I guess we had alot of things in common like he used to hang out at the same places i hang out here in New York. And he's good friends with my MAC stylist. i didn't really feel that the staff was snooty either.

I've never tried basement..BUT my tita goes there..i think it's beside Bistro 110 in Makati. lotsa socialites go there...not that's the basis of a great salon. but you can try it out...my tita looks great anyways. I'd recommend emphasis in rockwell..same price as propaganda or provost...they've actually pirated a lot of BCBG people..and from what i heard, BCBG is going down. My cousin went to emphasis for her wedding..i think she looked astonishing....i really wish her wedding can be featured in InStyle or Martha Stewart Living.

[Mitzel]

Badgirl. You're right, they increased their prices na pala :lol: sorry po.

[strigoy_72]

Hmmm...aside from the 480-550 price range..how much do i give for a tip? 50, 100,etc..or kasama na iyon dun? What's the exact location of Emphasis and Propaganda?? have patience on my post..ty!

do i need to call for an appointment or okay na yung "walk-in"?

[tr|n|ty]

emphasis-rockwell..right beside brothers burger
propaganda-rustan's makati 4th floor..beside clarins institute

dee-dee- i think it's best to call for an appointment. the appointment will insure you of 'on-time' service

as for tipping, i usually tip 100-150 for the person who cuts my hair..then for the girls who shampoo,blowdry, set..mga 20-50

[Mitzel]

Dee-dee

Yup, Trinity is right, it's better if you call for an appointment. That way, you get serviced the minute you walk-in. Franck Provost's number is 895-3401 to 03. They're closed on Sundays though. Good luck!

[icey *]

What's the complete address of Propaganda (lumipat na dba?) and Provost Salon? Also, magkano na rate ng haircut sa 2 salon nato...i heard mas mahal na raw sa propaganda..

tnx! :)

Propaganda already transferred to Greenbelt Mall around 2 months ago. The exact address is :
Unit 303, 3rd Level
Greenbelt Mall
Paseo de Roxas, Makati

It's right beside National Sports Grill. :D

Good luck you guys who are going to try it there! I'm sure you'll love it there! :cool:

:flwrface:

[Apostle]

Still Propaganda. You know you're in good hands with the industry leaders. IMHO. :)

[JENSIE_G]

BCBG & Hairbytes...the BEST!

[tr|n|ty]

didn't BCBG close already?
the top ppl from BCBG went to emphasis, i think.

[Mitzel]

What about make-up? I just want to try and have my face done by someone for a change. Truth is, I'm clueless when it comes to make-up and I want someone to do it for me one time then I can take it from there. Where do you think I should go? I'd prefer natural looking, like "maaliwalas" and not pang fiesta where you have gobs of gunk on your face.

Plus hey Trinity, I notice you're the resident kikay here hehe.. let's say I only had P3,000. Which make-up essentials should I blow it out on?

[tr|n|ty]

Mitzel-there's a million and one kikay threads that talk about things from the basics to semi pro stuff :p
u can check it out...
but basics for me is a good powder, lipstick, tweezer, curlash, lipgloss/lipbalm, blush/tint

excellent service! very friendly people and accommodating. Their cuts are very stylish and fashionable. The make up they use are all hypo-allergenic and non comedogenic so it won't clog pores and its long lasting pa.
Ambience is great, its so clean.

I agree, and just P300 for a haircut...not bad.

who cuts your hair? Ako si Tata...he's really good with short hair....and very in demand na sya dun. :)

[Mitzel]

Thanks Trinity!

[TM]

i think Propaganda in Makati *okay*

[gs300]

mas okay sa payatas Mang Kadyo Barber Shop
with free hot oil at bodymassage....

I agree! I tried Propaganda and got a good haircut from Gigi (ganda ng bagsak at hindi tumitikwas), but realized that I could have had the same cut at Regine's. Mas crowded nga lang, especially on weekends you really have to wait, but my hair always looks good. If the ambiance doesn't really matter to you (as in ok lang kung medyo maingay), it's a good place to go. Fe cuts my hair (or Sally pag wala si Fe). :D

[Apostle]

Propaganda! Still great. Had my hair cut at their new Greenbelt store. The interiors were great! And did I say my new haircut was good too? At least that's what they say. :)

[blue eyes blue]

*okay* Emphasis salon at Rockwell *okay*

:up: Service
:up: Ambiance
:up: Reasonable Prices
:up: Sosing-sosy ang dating!

[ninna__]

Basement Salon at the Power Plant.

Nice ambience.... ganda ng loob... nice furniture and most importantly, they have great stylists....

Ken gives an edgier cut, while Manfred is more conservative. More pang-mommy.

Basement doesn't try to offer you a lot of services you don't need din kaya hindi ka naman masyado magugulat sa bill mo.

[Clefairy]

finally! i get to indulge on a haircut. i'm having my hair cut on saturday, by jing monis. hope it turns out well. i'm really excited! :bounce:

[kalbo_baby]

wala na si rita sa propaganda. do you kung saan na sya ngayon? heeelp!!!

[Guenevere]

San ba maganda magpa make-up at magpa ayos ng hair para sa kasal?
