The Salon
I've always been particular about interior design and the ambience of a room because I think your surroundings influence your mood. Studio Fix in Greenbelt 5 oozes with serenity. The interiors are white, with neutral and natural accents. Just walking into the place, you get a sense of tranquility and cleansing. I felt immediately relaxed, and I loved that. We go to salons and spas to treat ourselves; it should be as stress-free as possible.

The attention to detail in both service and design was just incredible! The custom wallpaper (with little scissors incorporated into the design) was really cute. The salon chairs were really comfortable, and placed in a big area so that you never feel crowded. There's a huge ceiling-high mirror in front of each individual area, lined with Hollywood-style makeup lights. Everything about it is spacious and open.

The staff is really committed to your comfort and relaxation. They offer you tea and drinks at regular intervals, and when you first sit down, they ask you to choose an aromatherapy oil so that your immediate area is filled with a calming scent.

It truly felt like I was at a spa instead of a salon. The whole experience was absolutely first class, and I left feeling refreshed and beautiful. I promised myself I'd go back as soon as I can (probably to end a long shopping day at Greenbelt 5). Hardworking Cosmo chicks like you and me deserve as much pampering as we can get!

47. I've been eyeing on Studio Fix for the longest time now. Not really sure what's stopping me but I do hope I'll have the time to visit soon. Besides, I think it's time for a haircut and a treatment. It's been a while. :)

45. Ano ba talaga nagagawa ng hair spa? Sabi kasi ng iba papayat daw yung buhok mo, yoko naman ng masyadong limp yung hair ko ano basta gusto ko lang matanggal ang pagkabuhaghag.

43. I love the curls that I got last Friday, all my friends told me I must get a permanent digital perm and I definitely will as soon as I find time to go back to StudioFix. And my hair smells super good after the treatment, too, soft as feather! Luv it!
