5 top Manila hair salons for Keratin hair straightening

Categories : Salons

Want a hair straightening treatment that won’t damage your hair? Try getting a Keratin treatment. It heals and strengthens your hair so it’s softer and smoother. You also get straighter hair as a “side effect” — but most of all it’s easier to style.

These are some of the best Manila salons for hair straightening and Keratin treatments.  While every girl’s got her favorite hairstylist, these places are always mentioned in magazines and blogs. If you’re looking for gentler alternative to hair rebonding, or a way to heal frizzy or damaged hair, start with this A-list.
