BENCH FIX SALON: COLOR ME HAPPY!

I've been into nicely brown-colored hair lately. That plus the digiperm from Beauty Brick Salon (click HERE) are my twice a year luxuries. I arrived at Bench Fix Salon - Glorietta branch at around 10:30 am.

What a best time to go to a parlor! Ambiance is so fresh, 
hair stylists are un-harrased and long lines of hurried people? Zero! It's me, myself and another woman who happened to be an early bird too.

Here's a simple roll call on how my treatment went:
♣ I've been asked to choose my color, it's Loreal Majilift (if I remember correctly) Color is Clear Brown. I do have a sticky feature - since day 1 it's clear brown. On that note, I'm not ready for a change... yet! :) 
♣ Amy (the stylist above) layered my hair first because it's frizzy and wavy, he chopped a few inches to give my hair a decent body.
♣ Emily, his assistant started to paint me brown


AFTER COLOR:
♠ Amy, to my surprise, applied a dab of hair color into my eyebrows!
Para raw consistent. Haha! But I think it makes sense ☺
♠ I availed of their minty hot oil treatment too since my hair was so dry.
The solution was applied and my hair was bubble wrapped for less than an hour.
♠ I've just had the best back massage for ages. Re-lax-ing. Zzz. Thanks Emily.

UPDATE! For my 2013 clear brown color experience, feel free to check my post:

DETAILS:
Where? Bench Fix Salon - Glorietta Branch
Treatment: Haircut, Majilift Color and Hot Oill
How much? Whole treatment costs around Php 2,800
* Price depends on brand, length of hair, etc.


The place was unruffled and stress-free.
It's always like this on weekday mornings.
Don't count on it if you're going on a Saturday!

I used to think that improving one's hair is a massive vanity,
but I've realized a lot of things lately,
one of which is: Being the best version of yourself is a ministry by itself.

Despite some grievances life throws once in a while,
life is meant to be enjoyed.

Except for a dent on my wallet,
I'm happy with the whole {paint-me-brown} experience. -CMK

  2. Hi CMK,

    Napa-color ka ba ng hair right after you had your hair permed? Ok lang ba yun, di naman ba nakakasira ng hair? Gusto ko sana magpa-perm and color at the same time but im not sure kung ok lang yun. :) thanks in advance sa reply mo! ;)

    1. Hello :) Thank you kindly. Yup. Clear Brown was my choice for the longest time.

      I didn't try the highlights just yet. :-) Any experience on their 3-tone highlights?

  5. Ganda!
    I'm in the Philippines for a holiday at the moment and I was researching salons and came across the Bench Fix Salon, which led me to your blog :) You've sold me and I think I'm visiting the North Edsa branch next week!
