Dealing with dry and thick hair is no walk in the park. Trust me, I know the struggle all too well. Regular trims and treatments are a necessity to keep my hair looking and feeling its best, and if I’m being honest, it does sometimes strain the budget and I end up spending more than what I intended to. As much as I want my hair to be low-maintenance, I’ve long accepted that it's just not in the cards for me.
But that was until I came across Parlon, a beauty and wellness platform that offers a ton of discounted services for nails, lashes, facials, basically any beauty treatment; and, yes, hair included!
It’s also through Parlon where I discovered Regine’s Salon located at Discovery Primea in Makati City. Their exclusive deal for a Keratin Treatment + Hair Cut (Senior Stylist) + Neck & Shoulder Massage caught my eye, so I went ahead and tried it out. On the plus side, it’s valid for any hair length, which is perfect because I have extra long hair.
Walking into Regine's Salon, I was warmly greeted by their welcoming staff, setting the tone for what I already assumed would be an ace experience. The ambiance was serene and really provided a tranquil escape from the bustling city outside.
The first step of the entire experience was a classic salon shampoo. Afterwards, I was led to the chair where one of their stylists attentively listened to my hair concerns, customizing the haircut to complement my personal preferences.
The keratin treatment held the promise of delivering anti-frizz benefits and smoothness that would last for up to three months—a prospect that piqued my interest. I did some more research and apparently, keratin treatments have many more benefits for hair, which is why it’s a popular choice for people who want to change or refresh their hair, especially those with dry hair like mine.
The treatment adds natural proteins to the hair, which repairs and strengthens the hair shaft and makes it easier to style. It also helps protect the hair from damage caused by heat styling and the environment by building a protective layer around each hair strand.
As the keratin worked its magic on my hair, I was treated to an incredibly relaxing and much-appreciated 15-minute neck and shoulder massage. Honestly, it was such an indulgent experience that set Regine’s Salon apart from other places I’ve tried.
Once the 15 minutes were up, the stylists proceeded to blowdry and iron my hair to activate and seal the keratin in. This process also allows the treatment to be evenly distributed throughout the hair, ensuring that every strand receives the full benefits of the keratin.
After the treatment, the results were incredible. My hair felt unbelievably soft and the frizz was visibly reduced. The keratin treatment really worked wonders in giving my locks a fresh look, making them much more manageable and easier to style. I felt amazing!
My takeaway from this experience is that luxury haircare and affordability are not mutually exclusive. Not only did I receive top-notch services from a skilled stylist, but I also enjoyed incredible savings, thanks to Parlon!
Currently, I’m still enjoying how soft and manageable my hair is, but I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
Regine’s Salon is located at 3/F Discovery Primea, 6749 Ayala Avenue, Makati City and 4/F Discovery Suites, ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City.
