Precision Meets Passion at Vivere Salon Glorietta with Mr. Alben Lawa

9:04 AM

They all say that hair is the crowning glory of a woman that is why I am so honored to try out the expertise of one of the stylists from a well known salon Vivere Salon. Hair is the most precious part of a woman's body we do everything just to make it shiny and it helps us to look good.


My bleached hair and purple hair

If you're my avid reader you already read my post about a month ago that I decided to bleach my hair to achieve my dream hair color which was purple or violet. Here is the link on my post : Bleached Hair. Back then I only apply a semi permanent hair color that only last for days until a week.

From that day I said to myself that I will retain my bleached hair to try on different hair color trends do that I could make my own statement. Nevertheless, I do achieve that. But I got tired of redoing my hair color every two weeks. So again, I decided to stop coloring it and stick to this yellowish color. I do love my hair I constantly do home treatments and conditioned it almost every day to make it strong.



Luckily I was invited to try Vivere salon and to have a hair makeover. Vivere Glorietta 2 Branch interior is a mix of modern colors and patterns with a touch of Zen. A great combination of inspiration and balancing of moods of the customers as well as the staffs. All of their Senior Hair stylist embodied the salon principle "Precision Meets Passion" which on my own observation and experience this is where they are excellent.

My Glam Team : Sir Alben Lawa & Ate Mona
Vivere Salon promised that all of their stylists are the best, did you know that they are trained in the signature techniques of the Vidal Sasoon Academy, know for their easy to maintain, manage, wash and wear but an unbelievably stylish approach to cutting. Here, each snip and angle is designed to create shape, texture and form, based on what is most flattering for our client’s face shape, what is most ideal for their lifestyle, what is manageable for their beauty regimen and how it all works given their hair texture. To complement our cutting services, we also have a range of scientifically proven hair treatments from Schwarzkopf, designed to make everyday styling easier while ensuring the health of your hair. 

My hair stylist was Mr. Alben Lawa, he is very accommodating and he picks a perfect color to my hair. A quick profile background of Mr. Alben Lawa, about an eight years on hair expertise and 2 years as a senior hair dresser in Vivere Salon.Whenever I go to a salon I always ask my hair stylist for his opinion on what hair style and color would actually make my face brighter and slimmer. As per Sir Alben, I told him that I believe in his expertise that he can do anything in my hair. So let's begin my hair transformation story.

So here is my untouched hair a combination of yellow, gold and black roots

The Ate Mona, attended to me and washed my hair to prep my hair for coloring.

 The first step is to lighten up the root of my hair because it is already growing. Color mixture was on my hair for about 20 mins.

As I've said I let Mr. Alben to do what he thinks looks good on me. So here is the coloring, I wasn't able to take a pic of the mixture that they used to my hair, but it is a little bit pastel purple color.

Hair color is Redish Violet
This time color seats down for about 20 mins and they do my roots for another 15 mins. While waiting ate Mona give me some relaxing massage. To kill time and just to relax me.

The lightning does not give it a justice but in personal it is a mix of color red and purple
 Love the results, also Sir Alben treated my abused hair, to make it soft and for a long lasting hair colorful.





My overall experience in the Vivere Glorietta salon is awesome. They also took a photo of me because the outcome color is pigmented. Comparing my old hair style to my new one. It is more pigmented and vibrant. Curling my hair will also make it look good.

Here is my updated hair color after 6 days, which is so fab. It is not that loud red color, it compliments my skin even better making my skin more whiter. To my #DashingMomSquad , one thing I can say, staying out of your comfort zone means giving a chance for a better you.

My hair transformation

1:04 PM

In some point in our life, we want to change and for my part, I wanted to see the new me with my hair. I decided to get it done by my beautiful friend Shane, who was skillful to do it and style my hair. Lately we notice that there are new colors coming up that we need to bleach our hair in order to get the right color that we want. For my experience to my hair I've done it for 3 times this past few months to get the color that I want. This blog post is just a summary of my hair's adventure this past three months.


The picture at the right was my boring dark brown hair color, and the picture at the right was my bleached hair for about 2 times I think. I bought my bleach powder and the oxidizing formula from the online store. My friend mixed them together and form a very bubbly mixture like what you can see at the picture below.


It was a light blue mixture that has a strong smell on it. My friend portioned my hair and started to brush the mixture to my hair. Once the desired portion of my hair were covered with all of the mixture, we waited for about 15 minutes and she checked if the color was already fading. To make the story short our first try was not that successful on the case of my hair. It just turned out to be light blonde color with orange hint on it.



On our second try to bleach it, I think we are successful to do so, because it is already lighten up a bit, and the color that I wanted is already can be seen. Purple color. Sorry for this short blog post, but I will keep you posted on my other #hairgoals in the future.

12:45 AM
Sally House of Beauty interior
Recently my hair seems to be boring, I wanted to get that summer looking hair (even it is nearly Christmas season) I just want to be different. So I decided to drop by at Sally's House of Beauty. It is located at 266 M.A. Fernando St. Sta.Cruz , Angat, Bulacan. I know it is on a province but why not give it a try. I heard a lot of good things about this salon.

Last Sunday my Mom and I went to the salon. We avail two different Services, Mom tried their Promo which is the Milk Rebond and I tried there signature Ombre/ Highlight Hair color. To give you a sneak view about their works look at the pictures below.

Or a Straight, Silky hair?

Every women has their own dream hair. So am I, I browse a lot of pictures in pinterest to see what I want to do in my hair. I already went to a curl hair which didn't work for me because when my hair is already dry it is straight already. I went to different colors, blue black, brown, ash blonde. But today I want to achieve that summer looking hair, and ombre is the best hair i would choose. 

Sally's House of Beauty is very cozy, the seats are very comfortable. The hair dresser named Chris is very accommodating, because I can't decided what color combination for my hair he help me to choose. It is a mix of ash blonde with dark brown color.
coffee for the waiting time

So the process is first He colored my hair with dark brown color, i forgot to take a picture that time, then waited for about 30 mins and rinse the color. Next procedure was the bleaching of my hair. He portioned my hair into 4 parts, gather some hair then lather the bleach/ correction formula to the ends of my hair , he also put a light amount to the top. Waited for about 20 mins then rinse off again. The last step was the ash blonde color, then they treated my hair with a keratin I think. So here is my hair now.

The color is just lovely and Chris describe it as minimal but elegant. Well I love it definitely. Here's my mom's hair after the treatment

My overall feedback about this salon is here:

They have a nice interior , a white motif plus a floral accent is a plus. Mirrors are all big, comfortable chairs. Also i was able to charge my phone so thank you so much. The rinsing chair (well I don't know what is it called but that chair) is good.


the process


hair dresser and me




 My neck is now stiff like in David's Salon that I need to adjust my head every time they will rinse my hair. Another thing they have a free coffee. Also they shared to us that if you come about 10:00 am - 11:00 am customers will have a free lunch while doing the treatments or the salon stuffs. It is because the salon is too far from the food stalls so they offer a free lunch to their customers. Attendants and Hair dresser have a pleasing personalities. 
Sally's House of beauty staffs

Sally's House of Beauty Salon is owned by two sisters, Rica and her older sister. It is a good investment for them! Two thumbs up for the both of you!

What I don't like about the salon? Well it is located at the second floor and the stair is too narrow I think. My mom says while going up that she is having a hard time someday whenever she will visit the shop. The salon is too hard to find for the first timers. 

Would I visit the salon in the future? Yes I will visit and Recommend this salon to all of you.
