I came to know Ericka as a friend of mine was getting married and as a part of her barkada, the bride told me that she would help us out with our makeup needs by referring a killer makeup artist to us. That artist turned out to be Ericka and I was so impressed by her work. She owned up on time, she had an assistant with her, and she just did such a spectacular job that I was left dumbfounded by. Will hire again. And again. And again.

I gave it a try even though my mother warned me. Had my hair done, with base color and balayage…read more The stylist Bernard (not sure if this is his name) does not know how to mix color. He sounded confident when I asked him what he would do, and the color I want. He did the whole base color and it was not the color we agreed about, then he did the balayage I was hoping the highlights will be better as I explained again what color I want to achieve (golden yellowish brown, I specifically ask to avoid tinge of red) In the end he turned my hair into orange, brown but very orangy. When I told him my expectation again, about wanting the balayage color to be yellowish golden, not orange, he said he did went to a seminar on how to do balayage and threw the bowl of color and walked out. Charged me P7,500, actually more, for a cheap looking hair color. VERY RUDE STYLIST, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. PEOPLE BEWARE. I dont know why he got upset and wanting to prove he knows how to do balayage but in the end he was not able to make his customer happy by following what color was discussed early on.

She's one of the best hair and make up artists in the industry. I love how she can give you two…read morevery different looks for one occasion. I used her as my HMUA for my wedding and reception. She gave me a very fresh and light look for the wedding and a smokey, darker look for the reception. My husband was in awe on our wedding day because I looked so radiant and everyone else wanted to know who my make up artist was. I really really love her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a make up artist for any big event. Plus, her rates are not as exorbitant as the other wedding make up artists even if she one of the most popular ones out there.

Glam Squad is walking distance from my house and the convenience of that aside, I keep coming back here because of the awesome and attentive staff they have.

Every girl wants to feel pretty. Scratch that. EVERYONE wants to feel pretty, and Piandré does a…read morewonderful job of making that happen. Whether you're getting your hair styled, having your make-up done, or getting a mani pedi (I've had all three simultaneously), they have efficient service. The results are very satisfactory, but if you think something still needs a little tweaking then go ahead and tell them and they'll oblige. However, their services are a little out of the budget for some, especially for students like me, which is why I think it's best to reserve Piandré for special occasions.

So let's say you had your hair colored last year and you want to retain the same color, theu will immediately know what color to use on you based on their records. Second, all their staff members are so professional. They really make an effort to listen to what you want and give suggestions. They also don't oversell their products compared to other salons. Next, they have their own building! The salon is huge and can cater to multiple clients at a time. Despite the busy crowd, the salon has never felt cramped. In addition, parking is always a breeze as there are ample slots available in their ground floor indoor parking. I'm so happy I have found a salon that really knows how to take care of their customers well.

I learned that this is where many of the greats in the metro (who now have their own salons) started and got their training. They're very systematic about it so you can trust the people from here. There are several branches but do try to go for the Katipunan branch, a longstanding salon in the area with super loyal longtime clients. While its interiors look kind of dated, the pleasant staff here will make you not even care about that haha. Look for Gary, the head stylist & trainer at the salon, whom you can easily consult with for the look and vibe that you want. He's a character but he's very warm and professional with many years of experience and training under his belt. You can also hire him and his team for special hair & makeup services, even out of town. They're cool. Bonus: This branch is usually well-stocked with salon brand shampoos, conditioners, and styling products like Davines and Bed Head.

Ara Fernando is a genius with Hair and Makeup! I seriously looked and felt fabulous on my wedding…read moreday. She is talented, efficient, and has excellent attention for detail. Most importantly, she made me look the prettiest I have been...everrr! :D This review is for both the makeup trial as well as the day of the wedding. To be honest, I worked with Ara before when I was still in the hair and beauty industry and I was always a fan of her work! Her hairstyles are dreamy and her makeup style is just flawless. I know there are makeup artists who want to show that they ca do edgy makeup to bridal. With Ara, her main goal is to make every woman's makeup fit her style and personality. During the makeup trial, since I don't wear a lot of makeup on a regular basis (actually, I do not wear makeup at all!), I relied on her to make the best decision for me. And because of that, she did not use heavy make up on me, which I appreciated a lot! She also listened to my husband's requests and adapted quickly (request for airbrushed makeup and hair style) and prepped my makeup and hair extensions to be ready for those changes. She was very easygoing and comfortable to work with, making the session fun and go by quickly! On the day of the Wedding day, while everyone was enjoying breakfast, Ara arrived so early! I was actually surprised at how early she was (2 hours before call time). But, it was so that she could set-up the makeup stations and so that my entourage could get their makeup done first. Ara and her team took care of my bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law and I. We stayed on a good schedule (going over the scheduled time by just a few minutes) and had a lot of FUN! They were on time, worked efficiently, and no one felt rushed at all. After the ceremony, she and her team touched up all our makeup and she also changed my hair for the reception! Ara Fernando is a talented artist and I can not express how much I truly recommend her hair and makeup services, you will not be disappointed! :D
