I spent 20,000 pesos getting my hair done. Was it worth it? Come with me as I try one of the best salons in Cebu. So we went to Elysian Salon. Just kidding, I didn't actually spend 20,000 pesos. We did. Originally I asked for a blonde balayage, but right when this started, they told me that wouldn't be possible. Instead, they said they tried to get it as blonde as possible. I decided to trust the process and proceed. They're coloring, balayage package and treatment was around 6,000 pesos. And since everything is cheaper in the motherland, the whole family got their hair done. Mom, dad, sister, and me. Before starting, they did a strand test, which was probably a good idea because my hair has been through a lot. Bleach, box dye, you name it. My hair was also dry because I shower with hot water. And I know it's bad for your hair, but I'm sorry, I cannot deal with cold showers, especially during the winter season. Then they started applying bleach. And let me tell you that stuff was so freaking heavy. I don't know what bleach they used, but it was a pretty good bleach. I didn't feel any burning sensation at all. Apart from the chemical smell, it was surprisingly comfortable. Maybe it's because I'm already used to putting bleach in my head. The more bleach, the better, right? I also asked if they could color my brows because I accidentally left bleach on them for way too long. And they're basically non-existent now. They asked me where I bleached my brows, and when I explained why, they were like, looking at me. I think lighter brows balance my features and make me look a little bit softer and more feminine. My sister was also getting a balayage. This is her first time ever coloring her hair. And at one point, I was getting overstimulated because there was like three or four people working on my hair at the same time. It was too much. But still, the service was great. They were so kind. We actually finished after closing time. I don't know why they booked us in the afternoon, knowing how long it would take. But anyway, don't ask me what's the color of my hair because I asked for blonde and this is what they gave me. So I don't know. For the haircut, I asked for long layers with a fringe. And after bleaching, pulling, washing, toning, and drying my hair to perfection. It was done. Tada! Here's the final result. The stylist told me they will continue to lighten it slightly over time. And honestly, I love it. I was a little skeptical at first, but now that I'm seeing the full picture, I think it turned out really nice. What do you guys think? Is it worth it? Let me know. Bye.
