"Yung pong sharp sa sides ng face tapos may umbok sa likod", that's what I always tell the different stylists I've been to every time I wanted the perfect bob (remember my cheap hair cut from David's?). Unfortunately, I always end up with a cut that only tried hard to mimic what I specifically wanted. Until Fab Salon did my hair last week.

| Before the cut. Krissy and I discussing hair stuff. |
Last August 25, Krissy invited me to join her to a beauty boot camp (you have to check out her pretty pixie!). I'm glad I went with her, otherwise, I would still be thinking that my "dream bob" remained a fantasy unless I shelled out a fortune to get a high-end stylist to cut my hair.
The salon's interior employed a minimalist design that allowed the huge mirrors and posters to stand out.
Here I am, complete with my hand gestures, chatting with the Fab Salon reception folks on their rates and services.

My stylist, John, was the best. We talked about the cut and we met halfway. I like the fact that he was able to assert what he thought would suit my face shape while adjusting to my preferences.
 |
| I always do half ponytails because the sides of my hair tend to become unmanageable every after cut unless I get them blowdried |
Now, here's John in action:
 |
| No more half ponytails just to put more volume at the back of my hair |
Not only did I get the cut I specified but I realized that John was able to give me a sleek bob that's low maintenance. During the succeeding days after the salon experience, my classmates ooohed and aaahed at how the back of my hair stayed in great shape sans the blow-drier. Thanks to a 300php ($7) cut! I've never been so happy!
I hate the fact that Fab Salon's a hike from where I live. But with John's expertise plus the salon's affordable rates, I will travel miles and brave the ever-jammed traffic in EDSA just to get my hair in its best form!
(Fab Salon treated us wonderfully on more services and I'll be blogging more about it. Also, I just couldn't contain how impressed I am with the salon's stylists that I'm thinking of asking any of you, my local readers, to get a cut from them, too. Who wants to add more pizzaz to their hair???)
Haha...I love how you're giving the thumbs up in those last pics! LOVE your new hair. =D
Wow, your stylist did a great job! I used to have a bob too but during the bad hair days, hindi siya tumataob. If you know what I mean. Hehe.
Your new hair looks good on you! :)
gorgeous dear! the cut suits you!
Im trying to grow my hair so that I can curl it by december :)
you going to the levi's launch later? still dont know what to wear! :P
you look great in a bob,sweetie!
having a bob is also one thing that i have always wanted kaya lang since i'm fat plus the fact na my hair is wavy makes it just a dream hair do for me..haha!
i love my waves..kaya lang it would be nice to be able to don something that you don't usually do,right?
I love it! Bagay sayo, Argie! :P
@Shop N Chomp
Thanks! :)
@MK
Yes he did. I consider my hair to be difficult to manage but John did the best trick to give my hair its right shape.

Ooopsie, no invites from Levi's for me. I'm excited to read your post about the event :)
I'm so envious at girls who can grow their hair way past the shoulders! My locks are so thick and unruly... it's sky-high-maintenance if I get them to grow really long.
@Pammy and Thiamere
Thank you girls!
We never got the chance to meetup ulit, noh? Dummdeedummm... I hope soon!
U got a C cut love it!!! Very pretty
love your hair dear! it looks great on you and it frames your face quite well.:) i usually tell hairstylists to cut my hair like kpop stars because i was told that was i should say haha! :3
you look great! heard so much on this salon, makes me wanna try it!
sis, i won't be doing another review on Fancl mild cleansing oil - i already did here (http://meremakeupmaniac.blogspot.com/2011/09/haul-fancl-mild-cleansing-oil-bumpits.html). bottom line is: i love it! i actually even ditched lancome bi-facil for it! and that was my HG makeup remover after Shu Uemura cleansing oil. unless there another product that beats Fancl, for me am sticking by it. ;)
not sure if Grace already told you but lapit ka lang pala sa Cainta, am living near Sta. Lucia. maybe we should get coffee? hassle daw kasi for her to go to Megamall. i want to meet bloggers kasi sana when i visit Sol's stall at the cosmetics event there on the 3rd (tomorrow!). let me know sis. :)
You look great with the bob! :)
