Ysabel Ortega, Elle Villanueva, Sophia Seneron Opens Own a NAILANDIA Salon

Proud owners of NAILANDIA IL TERRAZO Tomas Morato, Ysabel Ortega, Elle Villanueva, Sophia Seneron

It must have been fun doing VOLTES V LEGACY over at GMA when Sparkle stars Ysabel Ortega, Elle Villanueva, Sophia Seneron met on set initially as just mere co-stars, then friends, and now business partners. The three promising stars from the Kapuso network just opened their own NAILANDIA Nail Salon over at IL TERRAZO at Tomas Morato in Quezon City. And by the looks of it, they're excited for what's about to happen to this venture they're doing because obviously, they're so passionate about it.

Ysabel, Elle and Sophia went out a couple of times during the filming of VOLTES V LEGACY but always found themselves going to a NAILANDIA Salon in BGC which they loved because of the service they get. True enough, they felt right at home to be called "SUKI" because it's the least they can do to take care of themselves, their looks, especially for the demanding requirements of being celebrities in GMA. After realizing they wouldn't probably meet after the show, they promised to see each other regularly which is why they thought of doing business. They decided to incorporate with equal shares, and now they've put up a company that would be able to do other businesses. Their child project however was this NAILANDIA Salon. Now you can go to this branch at the ground floor if you want Nail Art, Manicure, Pedicure, Foot Spa, Paraffin Wax, Massage, or your eyelashes done in a jiffy. They took sweet time training all their staff to make sure you get your money's worth each time you go to a Nailandia branch. Here's their story on how they started:

During the first few days of operations, they had family, friends, especially those who helped them put up the salon. It wasn't easy, and they had to ask favors from a lot of people to finish the construction of this branch. The look definitely was white and bright, you'll feel relaxed just as soon as you step into the establishment. It was cold and breezy, the perfect ambiance while you get your nails done, and yes, even I tried to get my nails worked on. I say, they did quite an excellent job with what I had in mind!

 

Supportive boyfriends (I think hehe) Derrick Monasterio and Miguel Tanfelix

They've got this done and plan to do more in the future. Aside from that, they're raring to do a good job in the separate projects they are doing right now. Ysabel by the way will be appearing in Firefly together with Miguel Tanfelix, Elle on the other hand will be doing projects with Derrick Monasterio (who was also there by the way and said "I LOVE YOU!" loudly when they cut the ribbon), plus Sophia who will be doing more episodes of Pepito Manaloto. As much as they've worked on their shows, they want to also do businesses together since they are now a corporation. They will be at the branch every now and then so if you're fond of them, go visit them today!

Congratulations Ysabel Ortega, Elle Villanueva and Sophia Seneron... you are now proud owners of your own NAILANDIA branch. Here's to more days of working hard, and harvesting the fruits of your labor.

Binondo Beauty Supply Launches MAGIC Protein Professional Line

Rodney Palaginog with Malcolm Medina Chairman of Binondo Beauty Supply

and Ms. Anne Marie Cello. Also with them is Edz Santos (far left) the Marketing Manager for the brand and their ambassador Fanny Serrano

Binondo Beauty Supply has been in the beauty supply industry for a very long time. Salons in Manila usually get all their supplies here and their 27 distributors all across the country. They are also currently the exclusive supplier of Bluesky Gel Nail Polish and today is another momentous occasion to introduce a new product line called MAGIC Protein Professional Smoothing Solution.

Fanny Serrano went up on stage and welcomed everyone saying "Last night when I was here, it was so chaotic but we asked them to have you seated this way because of an important thing. Salon Owners and Salon Staff have been so hurt by the news that death happened to some people because of the treatments. The bad effects on customers and beauty workers have been evident and BBS knew about it. They got word that a new line of products from Brazil works, I tested this myself and talked to the owners who got me to try this. I am already 72 years old and I have nothing to do with my life other than tell you how it is. I had a lot of endorsements, but I only choose a few because I want to be good. This is the safest hair treatment, Magic Protein is here and you are going to witness ordinary people, skilled hair dressers who will try this in front before our fashion show that we prepared for you, a little collection I designed specifically for this occasion, I hope you will love it like I do.”

True enough, they even called someone from the audience to do the procedure which takes an hour. A little better than usual regimen that takes a long time to finish. The before and after shots was amazing, it showed how damaged their hairs were and the transformation was noticeable.

The Protein Package includes Clarifying Lotion, Protein Hair Treatment, Sulfate Free Shampoo and Moisture Protein Conditioner. This is for professional use only and costs Php 7,000 in their stores. This has 0.00% Formaldehyde so it won’t hurt your eyes, nose, throat and lungs. You now have a choice for customers, isn’t that good news?

BLUE with Bianca Festejo Hub

I have been resting my hair for more or less a year now and it wasn’t easy. I always am fond of color but I had to tone it down as my Dad passed, felt it was a sacrifice of sorts and I pretty much have had my hair abused for several years because I know it would only take a few years before I’d have a bald spot somewhere. I’ve been sad about that but I felt if I stopped and didn’t personalize what my hair looks like, I’d be just like anybody else. I would hate it if that happens.

This boy right here is about going against the grain, to be different, one that would stick like a sore thumb in an ocean full of people who want boring, I am not against it, but it’s just not me. I have trusted my hair with a lot of salons and they pretty much made it awesome because of the nice treatments, fancy hair colors and just about anything on a color wheel, I’ve already tried. I visited this posh salon called Bianca Festejo Hub in Greenhills the other week because I wanted something different, a change was definitely called for so I asked their senior stylist JR if I could do something crazy, I’d want to make my hair BLUE. He immediately warned me about bleaching (a good point) but I have bleached my hair tons of times and I knew what I was getting myself into. I have sometimes experienced pain in the scalp in other salons so this was expected. They escorted me to the salon area upstairs and I saw this on the mezzanine.

It’s very chic, very minimalist and feels like the same aesthetics as those in Korea. They’ve got a powerhouse of people who know hair and color so I sat down in one of these comfy seats and began the process. I have already shampooed my hair prior to going here so a little prep work on my hand saved me a lot of time. They started bleaching my hair and I was expecting this is gonna hurt, buy they must have been using premium products that I didn’t feel anything at all. It was just cold actually, because the thing they used had mint on it. It was a refreshing start. My hair turned yellow after a few minutes, then they put in purple shampoo as well to lighten it even further. They stylist knew how to only bleach the top part and later my roots so as not to get my scalp hurt in the process. He knew what he was doing.

Say hi to Senior Stylist RJ when you're there!

Bleach, not the anime, they covered my ears so it won't get colored too

Waited to make my hair lighter, then rinsed off their hair wash station

I was surprised to see @Earthlingorgeous there. We had burgers afterwards.

Almost done with the Blue shade, they also styled my hair plus a haircut.

Then after a rinse (thanks to the kind lady who did it for me), we went back to the chair and got the blue hair dye in. It didn’t smell at all and I just sat there for a little under 2 hours and I was done. See how much I’ve changed?

Your Super Saiyan God in the flesh! Haha

I love my BLUE hair. Thanks Bianca Festejo Hub!

I got my desired color (brighter and better results actually), without any pain and I’ve been getting the hair attention I have always wanted now. If you’r adventurous or just want something seriously good for your hair, go and say hi to the people at Bianca Festejo Hub in Greenhills Promenade’s Ground Floor. They’ve got the best people to pamper you, from hair or skin.

Go visit their website BiancaFestejo.com and social media channels @biancafestejohub on IG, plus their branches at Greenhills Promenade, Petron Square 2nd Floor, Congressional Avenue East and at Starmall Las Pinas 2nd Floor. You deserve the best, treat yourself to good hair.

You do.

Beautizone Opens in Taguig

If you stroll along the line of restaurants along Upper McKinley Hill right in front of Tuscany Private Estates in Taguig City, there's a brand new salon and beauty center that just opened it's doors called BEAUTIZONE. Although it's pretty known for food and drinks, the district pretty much needs a place to get people to do their hail, nails, cut, color, even facials and massage so in a nutshell it all feels like a thriving community. If you've got a place to do these all, it becomes more wholistic and members don't have to go too far just to do these simple things.

To start off with a bang, Beautizone got Concert Queen Pops Fernandez and Asia's Total Performer Vina Morales to witness the occasion. We didn't hold back and interviewed them a bit before the actual program, she's still so down to earth.

Despite being so busy with their schedules and shows, Vina Morales and Pops Fernandez always see to it that they maintain their looks on screen so aside from their hair, make up and upkeep for the lovely mugs, they also spend time to take a break, have facials and massages so they can reset and go back to work still looking all gorgeous!

If you're around the area or live within the district, please visit them at the line of establishments in front of Tuscany Private Estates along Upper McKinley Road in Taguig City.

Who knows, you might meet Pops Fernandez and Vina Morales there, they are regulars.

A Legacy: Jing Monis and M Barbers

Joey Mead and Phoemela Barranda hosted the event

Had a wonderful evening with celebrities and friends of Jing Monis, hair guru and stylist to the stars. He's been in the industry for 25 years and has been the trusted person to take care of A list celebrities, influencers and models in the industry. I personally was a little happy to meet a person of his stature. I know some of the photographers he's worked with and they're all great. 

He's also helped a ton of models, sponsored quite a number so they could get where they are. He's also donned magazines, countless editorials and have already drawn praises from the who's who of the industry.

This evening was special because he's bringing in something new, his personal baby of sorts. I like it a LOT because I live nearby and with the way things are going in this community, we need a special place to take care of our hair without all the fuzz and fancy. Go for a more mom and pop shop, that cool barbershop feel, and he calls it M Barbers.

He showed us how it is through a fashion show, ready?

Colored Right "The Hombre" Way by Jerusalem N Dio Salon

I haven't been able to fix my hair for a couple of months and I always get crazy when I get bored from it being black. It went black for a reason though because I had to be Professor Snape for one day during Ruth Dela Cruz's birthday. So I did the next big thing with my friends over at Jerusalem N Dio Salon at 58 Pentagrand Building in Mother Ignacia in Quezon City. It's a stones throw away from St. Mary's College of Quezon City so you wouldn't miss  it. They've treated me like family and just like the countless celebrities/clientele they've had over the years, I feel they only want YOU to be happy with your hair. Now that's a really great deal for me and I've been yearning for a color change. Tita Bing told us about  "The Hombre" which is a coloring style that makes you look like you've got root growths already even if they're coloring it for the first time. This has been done in Europe and in the US, which is pretty current in Philippine standards so I was so excited!

I love my hair, and the only way to treat it right is by looking good all the time. They're a neighborhood salon with the right amount of courage to experiment with their patrons, and I like that part. It's also near my place and it's accessible even by public transport. Best of all, you get treated like family. I don't know how to actually put that in words but if you go there, you'll experience it. That's how Tita Bing Dio has actually been able to do this for years. You should experience that yourself and get that hair fixed. They did my hair, really good in fact that I'm wearing it like this almost everyday in events. Oh, and it's organic! 

Thank you so much Tita Bing Dio and your whole staff! From super black hair to this? It's AMAZING! I love what I look like now and it's all because of you!

Two Toned Hair Colors by Jerusalem N. Dio Salon by Bing Dio

I had a wonderful time getting my hair colored yellow a few weeks back - and after almost a month, it kinda grew already. I was covering a few events that month so I didn't have time go drop by Jerusalem N. Dio Salon in Mother Ignacia, Quezon City. Tita Bing Dio must have seen that infamous line on my hair and seen the black line already showing growth of my hair so she asked me to go back and have that fixed. I know, you must think I'm silly going out like that but time wasn't really working in my favor. So when my schedules got freed on a Monday, I went to the salon on a whim and sit my self in a chair thinking of what to do with my hair. Good thing my friend and lovely hairstylist Cher was there to take care of me and suggested we take it up a notch. Since I probably have already tried all the colors in their arsenal possible, she said why don't we try using two colors. This bright idea made me realize that it would be awesome to have something different again. I said yes and we proceeded bleaching my hair so we could take off the yellow color I had originally.

As I always say in my previous posts, bleaching is not an easy process. You must trust the one taking care of your hair and I'm glad that people in Jerusalem N. Dio Salon are like family. Cher Nogara and Tita Bing Dio always took good care of me and they know color. They've done the hair and makeup of countless local and international celebrities so who am I not to be in their char LOL! Then, I had to wait for the bleach to take effect, then after a few minutes of retouching, we rinsed it off on the salon's sink which they've also done quite safely. Remember, after a bleaching procedure you should never ever scratch your hair when rinsing. Then we proceeded with color!

I have a color in mind because I wanted to pay homage to UE and choose Red but Cher suggested we do a two toned mix and have Ash Blonde on top which I haven't really done so we headed on and did that!

After color, she then got me a short hair cut so the edges of my hair would look clean, of course I loved it!

Cher Nogara has been awarded several accolades when she joined different local and international contests, I trust her and Tita Bing Dio for my hair, my color and always go to 58 Pentagrand Building in Mother Ignacia Street (right in front of St. Mary's College of Quezon City) in QC for it. They're on the second floor so just take the elevator or stairs to get your hair color right.

I only trust the best in the industry, and with this color, I'll be hanging out with friends, taking it to UAAP games in it's awesome Two Toned Glory! Thank you so much Cher Nogara and Tita Bing Dio of  Jerusalem N. Dio Salon for loving me, taking care of me and my hair - just like family! Hurry and call or text 0906 267 3099 for appointments today!
