Bench Fix Salon
"I don't really have a go-to stylist, but I usually go to Bench Fix." - Lou Ferrer
"I usually go to Bench Fix for a haircut." - Bianca Sto. Domingo Villaverde
"For pixie cuts and embracing your inner (fake) blonde, I highly recommend Ronie Sembrana (senior stylist) of Bench Fix Megamall and Jay-R, his junior stylist/assistant. I've been going to them since 2016! A high-maintenance cut like a pixie needs regular trims, so the P350 per cut is way more manageable for me. I get trims every three weeks! I also get my hair colored every other month, with full bleaching every two months. I think I spend the same amount on my hair as my skincare. If not the same, super close!" - Jillian Gatcheco
