- –KAT PATIÑO-MARQUEZ

I must admit, excitement grew stronger as I anticipate­d my review day at Vivere Salon. The salon has had a reputation for its talented hair stylists—noted for its ability to give life to hair with just a simple cut. Having it been a while since my last haircut, I was thrilled to get a first-hand experience.

I arrived an hour too early at the salon due to my excitement. Despite this, I was seated comfortabl­y in one of the salon’s chairs with an iced tea served by the accommodat­ing staff. I was able to appreciate the modern, sleek, and stylish interiors of the salon. The design wasn’t anything too fancy but the pristine floors, the floorto-ceiling mirrors, and the minimalist­ic chairs made everything look luxurious. Unlike other salons, it was very warm, welcome, and not at all intimidati­ng.

The stylist, Hector, came to my side to assess my hair—it was long, dry, and had outgrown its previous ombre color. I knew my hair needed serious work but he remained optimistic; relaying his recommenda­tions for my hair. He started out by chopping the dry parts of my locks and left me with a long bob. Cuts at Vivere Salon range from P350 - P550 depending on the stylist—very affordable considerin­g the service you’re going to get. My hair instantly had body again, and without all the brittle strands, it looked much healthier. He then continued to tackle my hair color—achieving one even shade. What I love most about his recommende­d color was the fact that it completely suited by skin tone; bringing out the rosiness of my skin. He even added subtle highlights to add depth. The price of permanent hair color starts at P1,200, whether you’re getting a retouch or a complete color change. After some much needed leave on treatment, my hair was completely transforme­d from dull and dry to luscious and bouncy. Plus, the style is perfect for a working mom like me.

Other than cut and color, Vivere Salon also offers extensive hair treatments, profession­al makeup services, and nail services. With their staff of brilliant stylists, you get a perfect head of stylish hair every time. This salon is worth every peso.
