Have you ever stepped out of a salon, Php 3,000.00 poorer and less than 100 percent happy? Then you convince yourself that it is all okay because it was so expensive.
I remember saving up cash to see a well-known celebrity stylist, only to shell out an additional Php to 1,500.00 for some damage control in another salon. I wouldn't say it was ugly or a disaster, what he did to me was, well, just wasn't ME. I felt good after our session because of the fancy treatment and his flowery words, but I couldn't stand the look when I got home. Lol. So maybe it was also my fault, too!
Then, my balikbayan Tita raved about a neighborhood salon that her elementary school classmate owned. Silvery Salon is located along Capinpin Road in the Binan Town Proper in Laguna. Bored with my hair, short on cash, and turned off by the deteriorating services of another hometown salon I used to go to, my mom and I decided to try it out.
The main hairdresser is Sarsie , and I liked him (but I will call him "her" from this point forward because I feel it is more appropriate ;-) immediately because I feel like she treated her clients with just the right balance of professionalism and personal touch. I knew I will come back. A haircut is Php 50.00.
What I liked most about the service was its efficiency. How many times have I spent more than an hour in those posh salons for just a haircut and a shampoo? I lose time, and I lose money! Sarsie worked at a posh salon before and told me that services are prolonged so clients would not feel shortchanged and that "they are getting the service that they are paying for." Of course, a Php 250 peso haircut will pay for the famous name, the warm water, the designer chairs, and branded hairdresser, but same Php 50 haircut.
As I am impatient, I usually ask for quick haircuts so I guess I don't maximize the Php 250++ I pay at high end salons ! :-) When I met Sarsie, I couldn't even bear to go to those expensive ones. Two months ago, I came out of Silvery Salon (after just one hour) with a fab cut and a fab color worth Php 550.00. With the look and the price, I felt like I hit the jackpot , lol. The salon had a light atmosphere and fresh towels every time.
Just yesterday, I had a new color job, had footspa and pedicure, a collagen hair treatment , good stories - and paid Php 700.00 for quality service. With that cost efficiency, I had room to leave generous tips for Sarsie, Ate Bek (the footspa lady), and their young assistant.
Definitely my money's worth :-) If you are around the Binan area, I would be happy to introduce you.
