Haircuts and their Prices

[EverAfter]

Salons and their Prices

My hairdresser transferred to David's Davao (from David's Pampanga - and yes, nagpupunta pa talaga kong Pampanga para lang magpagupit) and I'm looking for a new one. I like my hair bob and short, pero di mukhang panglalake.

Please recommend good salons, hairdressers, and please include the prices. I noticed there was a thread similar to this when I used the search function (o ayan, mod ha, sumusunod na ko sa instruction) but not all posts included the prices.

Thanks.

lahat ng kakilala kong nagpagupit dyan, hindi nasiyahan

[PearlM]

tsaka kakailang kasi kitang kita ka ng lahat na dumadaan!

[Kasalan]

You might want to try Frank Provost in Makati. Angelo and Jonel are really good at Php 550.00 haircut. Or you might want to call them at 895-3401.

[tr|n|ty]

ditto on H, everybody who i know who have tried them were disappointed with the results. i highly recommend Propaganda and Frank Provost.

[XzRzX]

wheres propaganda :p

sorry for my ignorance ... ive always had my hair cut in hairbytes in anapolis and i really wana try out other salons/hairdressers :D

[sneezy]

propaganda is in greenbelt... sa 3rd level.... sa tabi ng National Sports Grill

[rwchick]

ok din sa paradigm! the one in shangri-la makati. try lilia - 500pesos

[Xoule]

how good is Propaganda with make-up jobs and formal updos? say, for a wedding or such formal occassions? I really hate that uber made-up kewpie doll look and am looking around for a salon who does things differently.... :)

[tr|n|ty]

Xoule-propaganda does a VERY good job, IMHO. they do a lot of spreads for Preview and Mega and Metro. Jing Monis did Lucy Torres' make up for her wedding. Tin Duque(i think she's the head of the make up group in propaganda) was trained in New York and Chanel in Paris. but as for everything exquisite, the whole thing is pretty steep. when they first started out, Make up and Hair cost 2500...i dunno how much na now.

[Xoule]

tr|n|ty, thanks for the info, i've been meaning to try out Propaganda for `most a year now but things seem to keep getting in the way *rueful smile*... but since, from all accounts, Propaganda's services seem to live up to their excellent reputation, I will definitely call them up for an appointment one day soon...

[BadGiRL]

Angelo of Franck Provost 550 a pop.

sneezy, is Ken good with short hair? :)

Btw, how much is the tip din sa basement?

yup he is great with short hair. i used to have short hair when i started out with him. although may ibang ayaw because medyo edgy ang personality ng cuts nya... pero ako personally i like it kasi may dating...

i give 200-300 but that is only because i get my haircut every 3 months... yes... ganun katagal mag-last ang haircut ni ken... habang tumatagal, gumaganda...

so in effect, for a haircut, i'm only shelling out mga 400/month...

;)

[gudnytmoon]

i go to basement salon at rockwell
joseph does my hair at 800 per pop. i give him tip na 100 and 20 each for the shampoo girl and the blow dry girl.

color is a bit steep though - full dye for short hair set me back 1900

sulit na rin kasi my haircut's good for 3 months, and i always get praised for it. my hair's short pero di ako mukhang lalake. joseph refuses to let me grow my hair long kasi bagay naman daw sa small face ko. :p

how short is your hair? parang i wanna go back to joseph. i haven't been to basement since they moved to rockwell. i'll just wait for my hair to grow a bit longer. i just had it cropped the other day.

Ah ok. Hindi naman pala nakakapatay yung rate ng tip. :)
Do I have to sched an appointment? You have ba the num? Salamat!

[NYUKid]

Propaganda - 700 with Alex Carbonell

Xoule - Lala Flores of Propaganda is really good for make-up. She did the most of the entourage of my sisters wedding (My sister - the bride, my other two sisters, and my mom). Though it was really steep, I think it was well worth it. I can show you pictures of the wedding if you like :)

yup... you have to schedule mga around 2 days before kasi parating booked si ken.... their numbers are 8982222 and 8986666... :)

[gudnytmoon]

PearlM

how short is my hair? short talaga, kung sasabunutan ako, you'll just get a few handful; chin length tapos the ends tapering on my nape. kaya inaabot ako ng matagal before i get another haircut. tipid no?

make sure you have an appointment though before you show up.

[Xoule]

NYUKid, i would love to see those pics if it wouldn't be too much trouble for you... *warm smile*.... honestly, u don't mind? *excited grin*....

[Xoule]

NYUKid, I saw ur website, ur sister's (as well as her entourage's) make-up looks really fresh and natural, and it's obvious that she has that 'glow' which bride's seem to have on their wedding day...'twas a lovely story too about her and her groom... thanks for sharing ur pics with me, and Propaganda does indeed seem to be worth trying....

btw, nice website :)

Gudnytmoon: Galing ba si Joseph mag-size up kung anong bagay na hairstyle sayo? Kasi kay Angelo ako sa provost- he's ok naman. I just want to try a different stylist. Do you know anyone na good with layering long hair?

Thanks!

btw, nice website :) Thank you for the compliment. I totally recommend Lala or Jing from Propaganda, they're all really good. Though the entourage was pricey (5,000) per face, it was well worth it. Good luck :)

[Xoule]

5,000 per face? *squeal*... any extra charges for the bride?

I tried out Joseph as recommended by Kinny Salas in her column in the INQUIRER. Prior to that I had been hairdresser shopping kasi I wasn't happy with my hair. Originally type ko sana shoulder length yung hair ko but the first time I sat on the chair (nas Palanca pa lang sila noon), his exact words were "I don't see you with long hair." O di ba? I trust his judgment and he's been doing my hair for two years na.

Di ko pa na-try yung ibang stylists in Basement, so I wouldn't know their forte.

:)

[ewanko2]

Anybody tried Pin Antonio of Salon de Manila?????

I went there last year to get a haircut, and color. My haircut (appointment with Pin), color and highlights cost 5000 P ($100). I was in the salon for 6 hours!! She wouldn't take the tip, so I generously tipped everyone who handled my hair. If I had that done here in the States it would cost more than $ 150.

I would go back next time I'm in Manila.

Now I'm confused :) Pero its good that he gives suggestions. Hmmm... Hope medyo different na maging style ko if ever I try him. Thanks!

[BadGiRL]

Btw, since we are talking about make up na din.... has anyone tried getting her hair and make up done at provost? HOw much is the running rate? I'm going to take my green and white picture (finally!!!!) this july and I don't want to let the studio artist do my hair and make up. It's something I'd invest on kasi a few decades from now, gusto ko proud ako tingnan picture ko.

[blue_toes]

all of your recommendation are too expensive, why not try a cheaper but nice to cut. try fix located at robinson galleria. only P165 look for leo.

my cut lasts for a minimum of three months... if you divide how much i pay by that duration, tabla tabla na lang yan

besides, mahirap magtiwala ng buhok sa iba ;)

[gudnytmoon]

well, I wouldn't tell my mom how much my haircut costs, kasi she'll go through the roof. On top of that, since I live so far from rockwell, i also have to factor in transpo and food expenses when i go there. But I think of it this way, it's good for at least 2 months, i'm happy with it and you gotta pay for quality.

magaling ba yon kahit sa short hair?

[yobex]

i have long straight hair. i need a haircut soon because it's kinda expensive to maintain long hair and i want to look younger coz i wear glasses also. do u know any website where i can search for some styles so i know what to ask the salon when i go there? i don't want him to just experiment on my hair and let me regret the haircut for the rest of the year or so. anyone ?

Hi y0bex! I can see you in a bob. I was apprehensive too several years ago the first time I had my hair cut - and my hair's wavy pa di ba - but I never grew my hair na after that. When I lose weight, I'll try Gwyneth's do circa Sliding Doors. :)

Shuxx!!!! Don't ever trust Fix with your hair!!! I know of at least three people who had their haircuts there and they were not only disappointed, they were devastated! Imagine, having to live with that hair for at least a month??!!! No, I don't think you should ever take that risk. :)

[frenzied]

Try Manfred or Stefan of Basement. They're really good!!! A lot of my friends and their moms go to them for haircuts. Both of them are Germans, and they were trained in one of the best high-end salons in Germany.

Manfred is part-owner of Basement. You might wanna try him. He's really good and accomodating. And he really takes the time to assess your hair and your face... I love the way he cuts my hair, and i've never been to another stylist eversince!!

Both Manfred and Stefan charges 1000 for haircut only. Tips range from 200-300. Depends on how much you're willing to give. But i think 300 is definitely worth it!

Btw, you might wanna try their 7-color highlights. It costs a lot though, around 4000-5000. But it lasts realllllyyyyy long and looks good. They really take time out to assess which colors would suit u best.

i think it's worth it. a lot of people liked my hair and the colors that manfred did on my hair! :p

hi everafter ! i'd like to have wynona's short hair sana but i still have to lose weight to be able to have that cut. but for the meantime, i think i'll cut my hair na lang na shoulder level na medyo layered. hay...

[tadeus]

Since im a male specie

I have been used to the snippeting of our good ol' barber mang chris.

when i was in grade school my mom gives him 30. home service pa!

now i pay my own haircut, i give him a 100 peso.

nothing compares to the feeling of cleanliness after his haircut, shave and a massage. it makes me feel very clean and tidy.

I only get my haircut from Provost. But if you want to inquire, you can call them at 895-3401. Although, I usually see Amanda Griffin (tama ba) and Bianca Araneta have their make-up done there. If you want more info about make-up, go to the Kikay Corner thread. Lots of tips dun.

haven't had a haircut at Rodger Craig for years now, pero siguro mga PhP500 ang haircut don. anyway, you can call them naman. di ko alam ang number pero you can call Manila Pen and ask them to connect you to the salon na lang.

im thinking, grow it longer na lang muna para meron syang room to work on.... di ba? :)

Pastart mo yung layers sa chin, tas ang longest shoulders. Basta ang cute. :) Bagay sa hair mo. Kasi ako pag mahaba-haba na buhok ko, wavy na. Ang pangit. Buti na lang medyo tame na buhok ko ngayon unlike nung DPC days. :lol:

Manfred is REALLLLLYYYYYY Good, or rather GREAT, with wash and wear hair. Actually, he told me that he prefers to cut that way, kasi ayaw niya na, as you've said, pangdalawang days lang *** ganda ng hair :) And, he wants u to look good even if u don't style ur hair everyday, coz it's bad for the hair too.

Ken is also good. My mom gets her haircut from him :)

[sneezy]

ken cuts my hair naman and manfred cuts my mom's :)

[mac326]

F*ck! i had my hair cut yesterday at FIX.

DISASTER

i don't know what to do. 600-1000 is expensive for me... unless if it would still look good after 3 months. do you guys think it's really worth it?

[tr|n|ty]

yes, it's worth the money. i haven't had a haircut for 6 months and i think it still looks good. hehehe.

dati medyo wavy din ang hair ko. pero ngayon straight na sya. minsan nga lang may tangles pero pag nagpa-hot oil ako, straight na ulit sya. nde ko sure kung pede sa akin na sa chin magsimula yung layer sa chin kasi medyo nagpipimples ako pag nadidikit sa face ko yung hair. hehehe. laki ng problema ko noh ? ewan ko. bahala na. thanks !

I had my hair cut there once and it was so bad, that I'm never going back. I went there because Alex Carbonell trains the cutters, so I thought they were good. Thank god I only got the back cut, not the sides and top. Phew. But, it was still bad nonetheless.

Expensive haircuts are only worth it if you go to the right person. My stylist does a really good job. I used to cut my hair every three weeks and ever since I went to Alex, I only cut it every five weeks. It grows really well :)

Yeah, I know. I've said that before, all of the people I know who had their hair cut at fix didn't like, if not hate, their haircuts!!!

DOn't worry, just let it grow longer and don't trust other salons easily ever again... go to a good salon, it's ur appearance for the next 3 months that's at stake here, dear. :) believe me, you won't regret having to pay a more expensive price for a haircut if it'll make u look better and not uglier :)

As everyone here is talking about haircut, I would like to offer my expertise too in 'hair art'. I am a freelance Japanese Hair Artist who does the wash-n-wear, low-maintenance, no-fuss, fresh-from-bed-look, with attitude haircut around. My approach is kinda different from the old-skool, I input zen philosophic touch with shiatsu and scalp massage before doing the haircut proper.
HAIR IKEBANA is my selling-point. I charge from P500-600 only plus i teach u how to style it lyk a lazy-pig.
Aesthethically-wise, I have been immersed and trained in Japan when I was an exchange-student there two years ago. I do haircutting now in Atomik Matchbox here in Glorietta 3, inside CityWalk Fashion Square (level 2), beside timezone and paradigm. Also in Persona Fashion Cafe inside The Outlet Yard along Quezon Ave., near national bookstore. I work basically on appointment basis (0916-4436076). If u want to see sample pictures describing this haircut, pls, post ur email adds here and i will send them to u. please check out my other threads too. Just offering some help. Please txt me for inquiries, I hav japanese fashion and hair magazines to compliment ur makeover. now, do some justice to ur hair!

[ladyanne]

i always hav my haircut in david's salon coz most often than not i only asked for trimming. does it really make a difference if i go to salons like basement even only for trimming and not really for styling? :confused3:
coz if it does then i should better try out that famous Basement Salon..:cool:

[aitai]

kiko ocampo maikling hair lang ba ginagawa mo? kasi i have long straight hair... gusto ko sana magpa japanese haircut.. kasi sobrang boring na ng hair ko...i still want to keep it long... but gusto ko may style na...

nakakatakot kasi magpagupit na lang basta basta e... sobrang tagal ko pinag hirapan yung hair ko... tapos baka masira lang... gusto ko sana yung parangg hair sarah meyer... long layered.. ganda...

[cHarL!e's AngEL]

any senior stylist (those that cut for P300) that you'd recommend from Propaganda? i'd love to try Jing Monis & Alex Carbonell someday, but being the cheapskate that i am..well..i just had to ask :beam:

any senior stylist (those that cut for P300) that you'd recommend from Propaganda? i'd love to try Jing Monis & Alex Carbonell someday, but being the cheapskate that i am..well..i just had to ask :beam:

hmm maybe 3 yrs ago? i think the cheapest haircut in Propaganda is 500 now.

[cHarL!e's AngEL]

actually they still have a P350 haircut (my bad, it wasn't P300).. i just checked. i was just wondering if anybody's tried it :wink:

[sneezy]

baka hindi sila senior stylists then.

[Sharlene]

Junior Stylists cut for 350. You can call Propaganda and ask for recommendations. :)
I haven't tried getting a cut from their junior stylists pa. I think they are the ones who blowdry your hair when you get it cut by Gigi and the creative directors. :)

[cHarL!e's AngEL]

i see..thanks for correcting me :wink:

[sterling]

Can anyone explain what is a Japanese haircut?

[kiko_ocampo]

actually, i am the one promoting this type of haircut as 'Japanese' around. it is called so because of its unconventional and radical approach to cutting hair. its method ( the one i use is) dry cutting so that i wud rili see the actual cut i am doing instead of shampooing or wetting the hair (this is the old-school approach which has d possibility of contracting or expanding the hair dpending on evry person). it is wash n wear that u dont have to spend much time drooling over urself in front of the mirror fixing it. this is the low-maintenance type and fresh from bed look that is really no-fuss but with attitude. i can send u pics of the samples of u want. just post ur email addresses here or email it to me or txt to 0916-4436076 or visit my other threads. it is also the type that u will appreciate as it gets long and longer that u wont be seeing me often because it gets out of look just like an ordinary haircut from salons around. this really guaranteed to reinvent the look everytime. so why dont try posting ur emails here so we cud get started.

[Bea19]

Where and magkano naman yan? Nakita ko na yta yan before sa Fashipn emergency e. I would really love to try it out? Is it good for short hair?

[chai]

Hmmm...the best haircut I've ever gotten was by Huelgas hairdressing in Annapolis. Rene has seen my hair grow from short to long, from wavy to straight, and I don't know how many colors, and I haven't been disappointed yet. :)

Reading about all your other recommendations makes me want to try them, but I'm scared to. :) No one else has been able to cut my hair as well as Rene.

[kiko_ocampo]

for those who are interested in the japanese hair art, please readon.

i am basically a freelance hair artist from japan. my approach is different from others. i put some zen touch on it and what i do is unearth every look hiding in the person basing on my impression of you and considering ur type. i do any haircut, rather hair ikebana. this one is revolutionary basically because i am elevating haircutting to hair art, which what it really deserves. don't worry, i always see this as an art and i charge 1500 for a haircut, homservc. just call/txt me ur adress, lanlyn, landmarks and time, date when u want it. so if u r tired of the conventional, preppie, teenybopper cuts around, try me for a change and ul love it for sure. the look reinvents itself as it grows so you really end up really getting a good deal because u wont keep coming back to have a haircut because ul always look u hav a new one. its where u cud paint ur mood for the day, the lowmaintenance, washnwear, no fuss, with ATTITUDE guaranteed. so if u want to look younger, cute and somebody then try this one. u wont have top envy the japanese, koreans, chinese, hongkong ppl anymore, its already here. my # is 0916-4436076

[Bea19]

Kiko, baka may pictures ka so I can have an idea of your styles. Ang itsura ba nyan yung parang anime ang hair? i'm really curious kse.

[[L]es]

any place to get my hair done ? (greenhills area). i'm kinda sick of feeling unsatisfied whenever i have my hair done at nova..

[sterling]

Try the Lucy Britanico salon on Wilson.

[cornonthecob]

Question: How many of you guys there tip the creative director?

Kasi ako, kung creative director na sila, I don't tip anymore.

Your ideas please:)

[lila]

[L]es, i suggest you go to Rene of Huelgas (beside Bistro Lorenzo). He charges P450, but worth it naman. Even if humaba na yung hair mo, maganda pa rin yung bagsak. Magaling din siya mag-color. Pa-set ka ng appointment and make sure that you come on time, even 10 minutes before kasi he's very particular about schedules.

[[L]es]

thanks lila and sterling, i'll try that huelgas place cause it's much nearer. :D

[Bea19]

Gusto ko talagang magpagupit kay Pin Antonio e. How much does she charge? Atska paano kaya ako magpa appointment na sya talaga magcucut ng hair ko?

[magayon]

anybody knows the contact number of Salon De Manila?

Thanks!

[mac326]

Sino nag-cut ng hair mo? How much did it cost you?

iba ba charge pag long hair kaya?

[cHarL!e's AngEL]

is Gigi of Propaganda good with long hair?

[elle_xxiv]

I had my hair cut with Jing Monis of Propaganda about 3 weeks ago and it's heavenly! I'm so satisfied with the cut he gave me. I spoke to him about what sort of look i was going for (like, i wanted to have some body for my hair and such) and i was so surprised pa nga at how fast he cut my hair! took him probably 10-15 minutes lang. it's really worth it! :)

Joven and Lucy are both very good. Joven though, is there most of the time; Lucy comes in late, or is either at a competition abroad,or on leave, or otherwise indisposed.
It cost around P500.

[monicai]

I recommend Paradigm. Almost a year ago, a friend recommended it to me because I badly need a makeover and they are really good. I had my haircut there since then but eventually, I had to transfer to somewhere cheap because of budget contraints. Not to mention that my hair grows awefully fast. :rolleyes:

Precy was my hairdresser then. ;) They charge around 500 for the haircut. :D

Yup! A friend of mine had her hair cut by Gigi... medyo layered and it looked really good on her. :)

Did you tip Jing Monis?

How much? And how did you give it to him?

[whattaguy]

What about sa guys, *** sa tingin nyo ang magaling when it comes to haircut for guys? Pls include their price, location and contact # if possible. Thanks.

[krystle]

for an inexpensive haircut, i would recommend paul maceda of fix-it salon in glorietta 4. i think the haircut costs P 165 lang. and he's good naman.

for guys, i would recommend bruno's barbershop in i-bank ortigas. they're pretty ok.

[tr|n|ty]

since my suki jing(of propaganda) is in france right now for some training, i wanted to try a different salon. i went to basement and tried ken. i love my hair!!! he took out 3 inches(my hair is super long before) and only made subtle layers and my color, what can i say..i LOVE IT. he had 3 shades of highlights put in and just that, it was well worth the money i shelled out for that salon experience. :)

[cornonthecob]

Hi Trnty!

How much is Ken? And how much did you tip?

I have been hearing a lot of good things about him.

[Apostle]

Gigi of Propaganda is great with styles but Jhun of Basement is very good with precision cutting. Maganda ang tubo ng buhok.

Wow big tip:)

Final question: Do you still tip when they're creative directors? And how do you give it to them?

Coz I once had a discussion with a group, and we agreed that your no longer supoose to tip if thy're CDs.

And in tipping, I usually leave it at the counter and ask them to give it. What's your method?

[michiko_888]

If ever ok lang bang tanggihan ang mga sugestions nila due to budget constraint? by the way sinong mas ok?

Basement
Ken
Manfred

Propaganda
Jing
Alex

Frank Provost
???

Alin sa kanilang lahat ok ang gupit? i have pass shoulder length na hair, laging buhaghag and frizzy

well its the first time i've tried basement and i didn't know any of the creative directors. so i had to give ken a tip and i just gave it in folded bills while saying thank you. as for propaganda, since i've been going there for some time and i could see that it's hard to make abot the tip to people you actually know and sorta hang out with....i think i 'm still compelled to tip them since i'm used to tipping.
