Cedar Salon Balayage with Schwarzkopf Professional in San Juan #MeTimeAtCedar

Some people say: Your life may not be perfect, but your hair can be. Hair is often referred to as the crowning glory of a person, hence, it must be well taken care of . One cardinal rule with women: no one is allowed to rush, interrupt or cheapen her salon experience. Women understand how 'holy' and precious these hours of beautifying/pampering themselves are, to help build self-confidence, and at the same time, improve one's state of well-being.

I am guilty of breaking this rule most of the time. Aside from having the lame excuse of "not having time", I don't think I'll be able to give my 100% trust in someone to cut, style, or color my hair other than myself. Yes, I've been cutting and coloring my hair on my own since college. I just feel more secure when I personally do my hair as I know that should anything go wrong, there's no one else to blame but myself.

Finding a good hair salon for hair coloring services can be quite difficult- you have to consider the products they use and the expertise of their hairstylist. Fortunately, Cedar Salon in Wilson, San Juan attempts and succeeds to fit the bill. No more worrying about color damaged hair as Cedar Salon only uses products made and used by professionals. Coupled by a team of highly trained hairstylists, one can fully surrender to an ultimate relaxation and holistic pampering experience.

Gandiva first opened its doors at the SM Mall of Asia way back in 2009, with the hopes of popularizing archery as a sport, and offer an alternative hobby and one-of-a-kind activity to all sports enthusiasts out there. Long before Robin Hood, Legolas, Merida, Hawk Eye and Katniss Everdeen, there was Arjuna, the hero of the ancient Hindu epic poem Mahabharata, who possesses the mythical bow Gandiva. 

With the success and craze of archery films in the country, Filipinos learned to embrace the unique sport even more, and consequently supported Gandiva on its mission of becoming a one-stop-shop for fitness, focus, and fun.
