When it comes to my hair, I think I've had enough for now. If you've my recent photos, I'm black to dark hue. I don't really know when will my urge to try something new for my locks will creep me inside again but I'm happy with my simple and easy to manage hair as of the moment. If you've been a follower / reader for quite some time now, you know that I've tried bleaching my hair *finally! achievement unlocked* and dyed it pink, then blonde / gray, then purple. My hair became too brittle so I asked Beaute Centrale to chop them off and do their magic!
I so love that comb thingy that says "Open" and "Close", too perfect for a salon!
I'm very picky when it comes to salon and hair treatment. Gone are the days when I let my hair and scalp suffer as long as the fee is cheap (student days so I think, understandable). But what if there's a good place that offers high-end services and treatments at a fraction of a cost going to infamous salons? That's one of the reasons why I fell in love with Beaute Centrale! Even if I'm from the south (Cavite to be exact, I'll drive my ass to Makati to have a hair treatment there).
Beaute Centrale is located at 614 JP Rizal St. 1207 in Makati. Don't worry, you will not miss it because you can find them in Waze and Google Maps, cool right? I passed by the area a couple of times already. Normally you will see typical beauty parlors that's why I was so surprised when I visit BC. Their interior, services, staff, and standards are at par with high-end salons in mall only that their services are affordable. They even have super huge discounts / promos as their opening treat for you guys! Who can have facial and underarm whitening treatment for only P99.00???
The place is neat and clean. I commend their interior designer!
1st Floor: Hair Treatment, Makeup, Hand and Foot services
They also have rooms upstairs for facial, massage, and other skin treatments
You'll see it on my vlog which I'll upload later! 😉
Area for hand and foot services
They use branded products here like L'Oreal, Alfaparf, etc. for the hair, for makeups they use local, drugstores, and high-end products.
The treatment that I've tried is their Keratin (Alfaparf). I told them I'm not a fan of super straight hair so no rebond for me please. I want to maintain the volume of my hair but get rid of fly aways, waves, and split-ends.
My hair before the treatment.
It's the worst state of my hair ever due to bleaching (5x if I'm not mistaken) and frequent hair coloring.
I'm using tons of hair products to restore its health and shine but the ends (bleached part) are super dry like crazy. It's too brittle that it breaks into small pieces / strands just by combing using my fingers.
My hairstylist today, Darla! <3 I asked to cut my hair shoulder length. I want to grow my it long like before so I don't want it cut too short as much as possible.
Shampoo Mode. I love how Ate (forgot her name sorry!) massaged my scap! So relaxing!
After application.
It can sting your eyes so be careful. It's a 1 time application, then wait for 20 minutes before blow drying, and ironing the hair. Yes, no rinse or hair washing for 2 days straight!
Super strong smell, thankful they have gas masks like this. Really helpful.
After my Alfaparf Keratin Hair treatment! I love it!
Here's a side by side comparison. Let yourselves be the judge.
Overall, I'm so happy with the result! My hair is more manageable now (wash and wear), perfect for a busy person. This treatment can last 2-3 months depending on what hairtype you have. I want to try KeraBond on my next visit! I heard it's really good!
By the way, random GIVEAWAY (later)!
Who wants to win the same hair treatment I had (worth 2,500)?
Let me know if any of you is interested so I can work on it!
Hopefully the giveaway will be posted tonight together with the vlog so keep visiting! 😉
