Xcess Salon Review
Admit it guys and especially girls, heading into a sophisticated salon makes us think twice due to financial reasons so the ending is - we settle for take it or not, less.
Well, not until I met XCess Salon.
Who says cheaper prices have to equate cheap hairstyles? XCess Salon absolutely provides the kind of hair styling + quality service that means more bang for your buck.
Settling for quality, celebrity-caliber ‘dos doesn’t have to be expensive - coz XCess Salon gotcha.
I feel so glad to share with you guys my experience at XCess Salon.
It was one Wednesday afternoon with my friend slash photographer Dave when we visited XCess Salon. It’s located at GF, Unit 101, Yashano Mall Legazpi.
Upon entering the salon, a massive poster of the gorgeous TV/Movie Personality Carla Abellana captured my attention. I remember, there was a time when she, as the face of XCess Salon, went to Legazpi last December 2015 just to attend its grand opening. Superb, right?
Two of the nicest crew greeted me and I did the same, with a wide grin on my face. I kinda introduced myself and I looked for the manager, Ma'am Cherry and it’s ironic how I was already talking to the person I was looking for. Haha! She’s very hospitable - thanks to Filipino blood, and she asked if I could wait for the hair stylist assigned to me, Sir Joel.
While waiting, here are some pictures I took inside the salon. I find the interior chic and appealing.
The #teamnice crew.
The very nice crew of XCess Salon doing their best in what they do.
I was amazed by the number of customers who were having their me-time!
How to be you, Miss Carla?
The pricelist of XCess Salon. It has a wide array of services which are pocket-friendly.
A picture with the manager, Ma'am Cherry and the assigned hairstylist Sir Joel :) They’re easy to approach! The three of us had a small talk and he decided what’s best to do with my hair. He wanted the Dynamic Gloss Cellophane and Biolage Anti-Hair Loss Treatment. Aaah, good one to rescue my damaged hair.
Starting out, shampoo first.
Ma'am Cherry passed me to Sir Joel. He began to do the Dynamic Gloss Cellophane on my hair. I’ve been a fan of cellophane until now because it’s good to cover up the tresses. I usually have it together with rebond which is turning a year now. I chose color brown for the shade. It was 20 minutes before rinsing. (Rebond please :D Man, I’m dying for highlights haha)
After cellophane, it was time for Biolage Anti-Hair Loss Treatment, 20 minutes leave-on. It was my first time trying it and I gathered some information from Sir Joel. He believes that it locks hair moisture and can prevent hair loss. I loooved it.
I had fun talking to Sir Joel. He’s funny and friendly as well. Plus so makulit! We talked about random things.
After the process, voila! My hair was sooo soft, tamed and healthy again. I opt for temporary curls instead of straightening. Thanks, Sir Joel!
And hey, I didn’t expect that the owner, Ma'am Gesselle Ong was there. I ran into her and did hug her. She’s like an angel for being sooo kind. We talked and I found her amazing. I was so kilig when we took pictures.
We actually had a small interview. At such young age of 22, she started out handling a clothing line in Metro Gaisano and as of now, she’s 28, managing a salon and spa! Wow! Business has been her passion and I’m gonna say that she’s blessed due to having a huge heart. XCess Salon also has a branch in España. Years of juggling business, she’s still got heart for her passion and career and it’s feels like playground for her. So inspiring!
She even gave me and my friend vouchers for Sparty which I am excited to try out and share with you guys soon!
