"Getting a purple hombre was an impulse decision, but it was something that I thankfully didn’t regret because the people of Choi’s Salon in Pioneer, Mandaluyong. The place was empty when I got there (probably because it was the day after Christmas) so I was attended to immediately. Ms. Choi, a Korean national and owner of the place, and her assistant Marina helped me pick the right shades to mix for my hair. I had really thick, dark brown strands which were hard to bleach, but Marina said that one round is enough so as not to ruin my hair. I like the fact that they give suggestions not because they want you to spend more, but because they’re concerned about how you’ll look after the treatment. And can I just say that my hair looked fab after getting my hair trimmed, bleached and dyed (in three shades) for only P3,000.00!" - Charlene Owen, Staff Writer
