However, I keep hearing nice things about Garod Ramelb (a hairstylist at Toni&Guy) from Li-anne Dacanay (and soon to be Matias), Alvin's cousin-in-law. Li-anne's hair looks amazing all the time so I decided to try it out.
I had my hair relaxed at Fix Salon in Glorietta 4 the other week so it looked straight, long but boring. So Alvin & I went to the Toni&Guy Essensuals salon at 6750 yesterday to have my hair cut. (I called in first to have an appointment so that I didn't have to wait)
When I arrived, I was assigned to a spot then Garod approached me to ask what I'd want him to do to my hair. I told him I just wanted it to have some layers so it would have style. At the back, if it's okay na naka-V siya. Kaso, Garod said that he doesnt advice the V thing sa back because it was so promdi. He said it naman in a nice way kaya medyo nahiya ako! Ang promdi na ng hair ideas ko!! Kaloka!
Anyway, he suggested soft layers at the back and at the side. He also said he'd give me daw a side sweep for the bangs. That was so okay with me so they led me na to the shampooing station. Ay! Ang sarap nila magshampoo! I think they shampoo'ed my hair for 15 minutes!! It was so tagal and the shampoo and conditioner that they used was so bango!! (smelled so nice!!)
After washing my hair, Garod began to cut it. He was so precise. Parang ini-isa isa ang strands ng hair ko. And he's so friendly and professional. They offered something to drink but I declined kasi I was quite full pa that time.
Here's the inside of the salon. It's clean and stylish looking. The products displayed at the right shelves are Bed Head products. Yun ang products daw nila.
Here I was after Garod cut my hair. The kind lady (which I unintentionally forgot to give tip to, Im so sorry!!) was blowdrying my hair. Garod said he'd check it after it has been blowdried.
Happy me! I was so excited to see the results!
After consultation with Garod and before washing my hair, they made me wear this thing so that hair would not fall to my clothes. It's similar to what the other salons are using but this one has long sleeves. I like it because sa iba, you're body nga is protected pero when you use your hands na, hair goes to your arms which kinda irritates me. So I love this!
I was texting with my friend Vivian because she and her hubby Omar was waiting for us at Cable Car.
Here's Garod retouching my hair. It was nice because particular talaga siya sa haircut. He was snipping here and there to make the haircut really perfect. Don't you just hate other haircutters na parang nagmamadali? Here hindi. They will take time talaga to measure, re-assess then cut your hair. I felt really satisfied on how they gave attention sa hair ko.
Here's what the inner room of the salon looks like. It has a warm atmosphere and I love the hanging lighting fixtures! So stylish!!
My hubby got bored hehe! Toni&Guy people are so nice that they offered drinks also to Alvin who was just making tambay beside me. Sosyal! Haha!
Here naman Garod was explaining to me what he'll do for my bangs. I've always wanted bangs kaso they were saying hindi daw pwede kasi I have puyo in my head. Hassle! Anika has one nga din eh. In the same spot ha. But thankfuly, Garod found a way for me to have a side swept bangs =)
This is me just before Garod finished the haircut. Garod said that after I take a bath the next day, it would not look that way because my hair underwent a relax treatment. He taught me how to dry my hair sa fan in the mornings and told me to buy hair rollers for the side lang so that when I remove it, it will look that way. I can blowdry it but not all the time kasi sayang naman the relax.
Here's me with Garod. Ateh, ang pogi no? hehe! I super love my hair! Garod and the staff were so nice and accomodating. The haircut here costs Php 650 which was more that I usually pay for my haircut but it was totally worth it!
REMINDER: Garod's day off is Tuesday so if you'd like him to cut your hair, don't go there on Tuesdays!
My outfit for that day: Jag pants (my fat pants which i bought because none of my jeans fits me now), Mango white sleeveless top, the cover up that Faye bought me in thailand and Janilyn wooden wedges.
Wacky pictures at the parking lot.
The finished product. I so love my hair now! It has style na and movement. My expectations for my hair was met and my expectations for the salon was exceeded. I super highly recommend Garon of Toni&Guy!
