Vina Morales for Ystilo Salon x Helen Seward

I was invited to one of the events of Ystilo Salon in Club Filipino in Greenhills and felt quite amused because even if I was a little late, I kinda related to what they were talking about. A company from Milan, Italy called Helen Seward was actually training some of the Senior Hairstylists and colorists of Ystilo Salon and I've been a great fan of colors since I've been taken cared of by Bing Dio Salon in Mother Ignacia. Seeing them talk about preparing hair, bleaching, repairing the color outcome and setting expectations, I could imagine them all saying their spiels inside their salon already. Ystilo Salon has been doing this twice a year they say and they have different companies that carry their products give their stylists workshops and training so they could only give the best for their clients.

Ms. Vina Morales also obliged us with an interview and let us know how it is important to have business sense even at an early age because just like her salons, the opportunity to grow is out there and says she had to learn a lot of things from other business owners and herself while they continue to expand the business. She's also doing a show together with Elmo Magalona (who just transferred from GMA) and Janella Salvador and she's excited about it. Here it is on video!

 We also got to see some of works of Antonio Robustelli and Helen Seward's very own Ms. Catherine Lorenzi. They were the ones who facilitated the event together with the local distributor (who was very nice btw!) and showed us what's "IN" this season. The feel I got was a little modern touch on old Hollywood glam. So think of artists carrying hair in that era but styled and modernized.

Here's our interview with the people from Helen Seward:

Thank you to Star Magic and Ms. Vina Morales for having us at their event. I wonder when and where I'd be able to go to their salon in Greenhills and get my hair razored too. I dunno, but hopefully soon! Oh and before I forget, thank you to Antonio and Catherine's interpreter, sorry I forgot to get her name that afternoon. Hope to see you one of these days!

Colored Right "The Hombre" Way by Jerusalem N Dio Salon

I haven't been able to fix my hair for a couple of months and I always get crazy when I get bored from it being black. It went black for a reason though because I had to be Professor Snape for one day during Ruth Dela Cruz's birthday. So I did the next big thing with my friends over at Jerusalem N Dio Salon at 58 Pentagrand Building in Mother Ignacia in Quezon City. It's a stones throw away from St. Mary's College of Quezon City so you wouldn't miss  it. They've treated me like family and just like the countless celebrities/clientele they've had over the years, I feel they only want YOU to be happy with your hair. Now that's a really great deal for me and I've been yearning for a color change. Tita Bing told us about  "The Hombre" which is a coloring style that makes you look like you've got root growths already even if they're coloring it for the first time. This has been done in Europe and in the US, which is pretty current in Philippine standards so I was so excited!

I love my hair, and the only way to treat it right is by looking good all the time. They're a neighborhood salon with the right amount of courage to experiment with their patrons, and I like that part. It's also near my place and it's accessible even by public transport. Best of all, you get treated like family. I don't know how to actually put that in words but if you go there, you'll experience it. That's how Tita Bing Dio has actually been able to do this for years. You should experience that yourself and get that hair fixed. They did my hair, really good in fact that I'm wearing it like this almost everyday in events. Oh, and it's organic! 

Thank you so much Tita Bing Dio and your whole staff! From super black hair to this? It's AMAZING! I love what I look like now and it's all because of you!

Hair Emergency Solved at Belleza Y Estilo Salon

I am not my usual self again and quite grumpy. I was not in the mood to go out and have fun with my friends because they were already making fun of my hair. As you can see I have this weird black line since my hair is growing out of the blonde color it originally had. 

So I called upon hair stylist to the stars Cher Nogara and asked to have my hair done that afternoon then rushed to their salon over at the 2nd Floor of the E.K. Building (No. 50 Don Antonio Heights 2, Brgy Holy Spirit Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City 1105) and said I had a hair emergency. Aside from the fact that my hair already grew like that, I felt I was turning into a gorilla. Funny I know, but do you get that feeling of ugliness and stress sometimes and you want to do something with it? That was exactly how I felt yesterday.

They understood my weirdness and got on with the work involved with my hair. They assured me not to panic hehe. I sat down on the comfy chair and got on with the coloring.

After a short rinse of my hair, we got on and bleached my hair again (I did have it bleached the first time a few weeks ago). The bleaching process is a little complicated. It's not for everybody because it is kind of a little painful. You just had to have guts and higher pain tolerance than the usual for you to be able to go through it. That, plus a LOT of air conditioning which the salon comfortably has. :)

I rinsed again and completed the bleach process. Now, I've got that very light hair shade I needed to start with the color process. The salon uses Davines products which are also organic. It's an international brand from Italy that promotes sustainable beauty. It's high end and got zero impact on nature. Isn't that amazing?

After a short rest, they put in the Silver color on my hair and waited again for it to take effect. This process is time consuming as you may understand since it requires bleaching which you saw earlier. The color was REALLY awesome and got my hair back into a great state in no time!

Belleza Y Estilo Salon also has other services. After the color, they went the extra mile and gave me more pampering via a Keratin Treatment. They massaged my scalp during that session too and it was very soothing. That relaxed me a lot and it was the perfect way to get my scalp back to normal after a little stress on the bleaching process I did earlier. I was surprised because my hair immediately become a little straighter than usual. It also went shiny on me, as in SHINEEEE! Then after that, they got wax and styled it again.

And now we're back to GREAT HAIR! :) Thank you Cher Nogara! You really know what to do on hair emergencies! ;)

I'd like to thank the great people of Belleza Y Estilo Salon. Just look at one of the owners right on the front counter, gorgeous vixen Ms. Heart de Guzman. Guys, take it easy LOL

Had to disturb her while she was doing a rebond procedure with a client. She's the very talented Ms. Beng Manuel. She just gave birth a few days ago and she's already here working. Congratulations on the new baby! :)

Thank you Cher Nogara for taking care of me and my crowning glory. Thank you also for saving me with my hair disaster. Now I've got my hair back to AWESOMENESS and it's all because of you guys at Belleza Y Estilo Salon. Let's do another great haircut soon shall we? I'm looking forward to that!

If you prefer to have an appointment with them and get your hair did... call or text them at 09225554419. Or you can just come over to their salon located at the 2nd Floor E.K. Building No. 50 Don Antonio Heights 2, Barangay Holy Spirit Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City 1105. I know I'll be back soon! :)
