If you've been following Juday's hairstyles these days, you would understand this big decision. And moment of hair fandom. That day, at the salon, I sheepishly showed a photo of Juday's so-chic shoulder-length bob to Jing, hoping that the people around me wouldn't think I was Juday's biggest fan (but damn, I sure seemed like that person that day). My "shyness" was overpowered by Jing's "omg I gave her that haircut!!!!" OMG JING GAVE JUDAY THAT HAIRCUT. I was ecstatic, excited and just couldn't wait for him to give me the same haircut already! Jing, game naaaaa! He finally got to work - precisely and meticulously snipping here and there, until voilà: I had Juday's hair!! But I didn't just get her hair that day. I also got some of the celebrity-level, five-star Jing Monis service she's used to. Something I absolutely won't mind getting used to as well!

I'm always in the Philippines and I have been going to many salon places here. By far, this salon…read morehas been the best place because they are organized first of all and has professional services all in one and a very comfortable vibe feel. I tried to be cheap but you get what you paid for, right?! This is located by the parking garage or in front of the outside Starbucks store in the Shangri-la Plaza Mall. Very easy to find as it's on the outside of the mall. They have two floors. They offer different services like wax, nails, massage, haircuts and color blends all the way to 7 colors!! I really wanted to color my hair fire red with flames! Hahaha My mom wanted her hair cut and colored white gray (3400 php) to blend with her coming white hair but she had colored her hair previously so Ernie suggested a blend due to her dry hair and because it was colored already. It turned out great!! It was a mixture of brown with silver highlights. Sometimes, in the sun, it looked really gray! It was kind of neat! He was very gentle with her which I liked. I mean he had the patience with her. They always offered us something to drink. While she was getting her hair done, they did her pedi (Judy) and mani (Joy)(750php) at the same time while waiting for the color to set. Many places in the PI do not have professional massage chairs for people to get a mani/pedi like in the States. I wonder why? They like to do all at once and go to where you are to get the job done quicker maybe? I had my hair treated (2800php) for long hair because my hair was getting dry due to the Philippines water. Tess massaged my head, back & shoulders, had my hair washed and curled for my hair treatment service. It turned out great. I also had them change the color of my feet and hand nails for 150 php ea pair; not bad by Beth. Thank goodness they had a big selection of good nail polishes but still limited to the colors I really wanted...but still! The nail polishes were not old! I also had an underarm wax (450php) by Eryl which she used the new gel type wax that smells like wheat. It didn't hurt at all but it takes a few times to finish vs a honey wax. I prefer the honey wax better for some reason as it also lifts the color of your underarms. All in all, if you are looking for great services and options, this is the place to go! I hear this is owned by a older Filipino basketball player turned actor?! Interesting! [15/100]

They also show true concern for your hair and they explain clearly if something can work or not in terms of hair care and if it will further damage your hair. Customer service has always been on point and they offer you drinks too. Renz has always been able to do a phenomenal job (9 months and my hair is still getting compliments) and the top Stylist JOF I heard is top notch. They might be on the higher end priced compared to the other local salons but I still Highly recommend, especially when I only color my hair once or twice a year. I have long thick hair and I paid less than $300 US dollars for the full service INCLUDING Keratin Treatment.

I was on a recent visit to Manila and really needed a bangs trim (or so I thought). After having…read moredinner at Jin Joo Glorietta 4, I casually mentioned my "need" to my relatives. A couple of them recommended that I get my quick fix at the Bench Fix Salon on the second floor. Up the stairs I went and was greeted by the receptionist, who mentioned that the price for the trim was PhP 500--no problem. I was then pleasantly greeted by senior stylist Roland, who sat me in the chair and started chatting with me about why I was looking for a bangs trim. He began combing through my hair with his fingers, expertly analyzing the cut and the layers. I knew right then that he was no slouch--that he could make my cut much better. And voilà! He asked if I'd consider some shaping instead, as the rate was the same. Honestly, the price was secondary to me. I was already impressed with the way Roland handled my hair while analyzing it. So the answer was "Yes." I love that there was a different person who shampooed my hair--the massage was amazing. I sadly forgot her name. She has been at this location for 10 years. I want to emphasize that her role is serving as a partner to Roland. She preps clients like me. She also did the blow‑dry after the cut, at which point Roland came back in and started doing finishing touches to my hair at the tail end of the drying. The result? More life. More modern cut. More style. More swing. He didn't even remove an inch of length--just added shape overall. I loved it. I wish I could be at this place every month. I then resolved to: 1. change my stylist when I get back to the US--someone who can follow this cut; and 2. return to this location on my next visit--asking for Roland in particular. I also recommended him right away to a couple of relatives and friends in Manila. What a find.

While the entrance is small, the actual salon is pretty big inside. It is like most of the other Bench Fix branches. I love their hair color because it doesn't hurt when they apply it and it lasts for several months. They also have really beautiful color combinations whether you want to be copper blonde or just get very nice highlights. While pricing for hair color is a bit expensive, it really is worth it. What surprised me about this branch is how good their makeup artists are. I had the chance to try it out one time when my most trusted makeup artist was out of town and I had a quick event to attend. They were so good people barely recognized me -- and I mean that in a good way.

I actually had my hair colored here first by one of my go-to hair stylists, Armand. While I do try other salons from time to time, I realized that Armand just knows what to do with my hair. And they don't charge hella high as well, unlike the higher end salons that promise gorgeous colors and amazing cuts. With David's Salon and Armand at the helm of my hair styling sessions, I am always guaranteed to get my money's worth. I'm not the only fan in our family. My sister has also been going here for her hair services, so much so that she's gotten a privilege card from David's Salon. This card gives her 15% off every service. I actually got one for myself recently. I know I'll be frequenting this place anyway so why not get a privilege card that'll save me some bucks?! If you do visit, ask for Armand. I promise you that he will be able to give you the cut and color you want! There was a time I just showed him a photo of a certain color I wanted and he gave me just that. I got a ton of compliments days after! Another thing I love about this place is that the staff don't sell hair products and other services to me. It's one of my biggest pet peeves! It's a relief to know that I wouldn't be pressured to buy anything before I leave.

I don't know who gave him the right to treat people this way.

Thinking that I'd pay extra to get the best haircut I can for my precious mom, apparently NOT! When I asked him to fix one side due to uneven cut, he gave a disgusted look and cut my moms hair close to nothing and try to cover it with hairspray until I stopped him. I intend to elevate this to the higher management and hope to get some awareness of how their SENIOR stylists get the "title"in their head.
