Salon Special: A Hair "Spa" Experience In The Heart Of Makati

Tired after a long day? Spoil yourself with an invigorating spa-like hair treatment! Posted on January 29, 2010 10:00 am by Regina Belmonte, Cosmo.ph Staff Writer Photo: Regina Belmonte Click here to go straight to the gallery

Makati is a bustling center of activity, whether that activity is work in the business district or pleasure in the shopping malls. Whatever you find yourself doing, though, you're bound to be tired toward the end of the day. If you feel like getting a little rejuvenation but can't decide between going to the salon and visiting a spa, why not do both? Breathe new life into your hair and your body. Cosmo checked out Studio Fix in Greenbelt 5 for some refreshing hair treatments, and a little extra, too.

Regina's Experience: Pure Rehydration
Studio Fix's main man, Mr. Alex Carbonell, took one look at my hair and already knew all the problems I had with it. He didn't even have to touch it to guess that it gets oily if it isn't shampooed all the time, and that it tends to frizz. The guy knows his stuff! He could also see that, though it was healthy, it tended to be really dry.

That's why he suggested I try Studio Fix's HydraCure service (P1,900 for long hair like mine), which uses Pureology's Hydrate line of products to infuse moisture into dry hair. First, my hair was shampooed with Hydrate shampoo, and my scalp was given an invigorating massage at the same time. It was unlike any shampoo I've ever had at any salon, and I found out afterwards that the assistants are actually massage therapists. No wonder!

The HydraCure therapy masque was combed and massaged into my hair. It takes a while for hair to absorb product, and while I was waiting, a massage therapist kneaded all the knots out of my shoulders and back. After the masque settled, they used a moisture machine to inject more moisture into my hair and keep it trapped there for maximum rehydration. Then they washed off the product and conditioned my hair with Hydrate conditioner, which felt minty cool on my scalp. It was so refreshing and relaxing!

True to its name, after my Pureology treatment, my hair felt fresh and pure, like it had been given new life. I have a habit of running my hands through my hair all the time, and though my hair was already completely dry (having been blow-dried into submission), I could really feel the moisture inside. My hair didn't feel brittle and fragile like it was before the treatment. You can tell the difference between seriously dry hair and healthy hair, and my hair felt so healthy.
