Basic services:
The price of a haircut ranges from P49.99 to P199.99, depending on the seniority of the stylist. If you’re in a hurry to get somewhere and want a simple shampoo and blow-dry service, it would cost you about P149.99. Their other services include:
• Manicure – P79.99

Steph’s verdict:
“What’s good about Reyes Haircutters is that you don’t need to break the bank or wait for pay day before you could get your hair cut, your nails done, or have a foot spa. It has so many branches that you probably have one right in your neighborhood. I’ve seen even dads have their haircuts here.”

Steph’s verdict:
“There’s a David’s Salon near our house which is pretty convenient when we need a quick hair cut or a mani-pedi. You just have to wait a bit before someone can work on your hair because some branches are short staffed. I like the branch in SM Megamall because the stylists immediately attend to your needs and you get a really clean, polished haircut in a matter of minutes. The stylists are also very friendly and professional.”

With the rage of Korean soap operas and music artists, many Pinoys have come to admire and acquire Korean hairstyles as well. This mania was a perfect setting for the arrival of Tony and Jackey salon, a Korean beauty salon which has been in the Philippines since 2006. They offer a variety of hair treatments and hair care services, including special styling services.
Basic services:
Since you’re getting a Korean look from the real deal themselves - Korean hairstylists - expect a bit of a wallop on your wallet. A hair cut and blow dry will cost you P300 for men and P500 for women. Their other services include:
• Hair coloring – P1,000 to P2,500 (depending on length)
• Hair manicure - :1,500 to P3,000 (depending on length)
• Aqua rebonding – P3,000 to P6,000 (depending on length)
Steph’s verdict:
“I was initially apprehensive (but excited!) the first time I visited the Tony and Jackey Salon in Tomas Morato, Quezon City because I was worried about the language barrier, and the Korean hairstylists might not be able to fully “get” the look I was going for. Thankfully, there are Pinay assistants there to help.
A tip I learned from a regular customer is to either say “classic,” meaning a clean, polished haircut or hairstyle, or “trendy,” and they’ll know right away that you’re looking for an edgy look. They also provide lots of magazines so you can also simply show them what you want done.”
