Getting a Digiperm at Beauty Brick Hair Art Studio

I’ve been wanting to give myself a make-over for a long time now. I’ve had my heart set on getting my hair some waves or curls and always at the last minute I’d chicken out. I didn’t know if the look was right for me or not. I even grew my hair very long last year (up to the middle of my back!) just so I could get long gorgeous curls. It wasn’t the right time though.

Last Saturday however, I finally got the courage. After some careful research on some reviews of some bloggers and peers who have had digi-perms in the past, come Saturday morning I was driving towards Beauty Brick Hair and Art Studio. However, last Saturday was such a rainy day and I failed to take a photo of the salon’s facade. Note: If you’re going there with a car, opt to park at the pay parking of the Solid building right across or if there are any parking spaces left at the Dona Consolacion Building. They DO have a basement parking but they’d want you to go down the ramp in reverse. That scared me, so I just parked across.

Upon entering Beauty Brick, I was greeted by a chorus of polite hello’s and good mornings. If you’re going there on a Saturday, it is best to go there with an appointment since Saturday is their busiest day. I was ushered to where the shampooing section was and since I didn’t bring any photos to show Mr. Shin, I just chose a picture from one of the binders that they had. Mr. Shin is the stylist at Beauty Brick, he speaks Japanese and doesn’t speak any English or Tagalog. So the whole time that I was choosing which look that I wanted, there was an interpreter beside me.

The whole digital perming process took only 3 hours and it wasn’t painful nor did it involve any bad-smelling chemicals. My experience at the salon was divine. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. I was attended to by assistants sometimes 3 at a time. They had timers to make sure that each process wasn’t overdone. Plus the main thing that I liked about the experience was Mr. Shin personally did my haircut, he attached the curlers on my hair and he oversaw all the solutions being placed in it.

The interiors of the salon was very minimal. I love the big yellow bear brick standing guard at the entrance of the salon. It was mostly white but accented with black graphics on the wall and a red accent on the costumer’s lounge area.

Would I go back again to Beauty Brick? Hell yeah! I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get touchable curls too. Mine turned out great! It was at a price that doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket too - only Php 3300.00 (all-in plus the haircut) That was even less than the cost of my rebond last year. This makeover was definitely worth it.

Me and my curls. Over the next few days, the curls will loosen up naturally. I heard that maintaining digitally curled hair can be daunting, so let’s see. I hope I can keep my hair this beautiful always.
