Vigen Scalp Clinic: A New Haven for our Precious Manes

When I was small, my mom sees to it that I I have my regular haircut. So all the time that I was a kid till high school, I have short and shoulder length hair. 

Now that l'm all grown up, things has change for my hair. I decided to grow my hair long. I suddenly like to play with different hairstyles-from braids to curling it. I can say that I have been bold and fierce with my precious mane also since I wanted to know if it will make a difference on my face and look. Well it did make me look different, from the dull and drab looking housewife (I honestly felt drab-looking and out-dated wife in her early thirties) that I was to an "up-to-date, fun-loving and modern " mom that I felt I wanted to be.

I felt that it was really high time that I keep up with the trends and never keep myself be left behind. I just realized that it will never be too late to try and be brave in trying all the things that life has to offer.

I have been maintaining my long, "light" brown hair for almost 4 years and I can say that I have been happy with it. Having my hair long means I can have it ironed straight, curled it and dyed it in any color that I want.

Now that I have mention the things that I have done with my hair, of course it's not all "pretty and fun". The hair do suffers too when you overdo and made tons of visit to the salon to try different treatments.

Good thing I have made a new discovery that is an answer to all hair problems like drying, split ends, scalp inflammatory and hair loss.

Today I made a visit to Vigen Scalp Clinic. It is a clinic dedicated to all your "scalp" related woes. It is located at G/F Richbelt Terraces #19 Annapolis St. Greenhills, San Juan.

Vigen Scalp Clinic offers a variety of treatments that safely cleanses the scalp to make it healthy and stimulate air growth.

Vigen Scalp Clinic caters to the different hair and scalp problems that our manes experiences.

What are the different programs or treatments do they have Vigen Scalp Clinic?

They have the Basic Scalp Healing program. It is 15 -step process that starts witha relaxing foot massage, Intensive Scalp scaling and hair and scalp blow-dry.

It is the scalp treatment that they recommended that I try after my scalp consultation. The treatment itself is very meticulous after knowing that is a 14 step process. It is also a big surprise to me that the treatment does not only concentrate on the scalp. It also made sure that the treatment is a very relaxing and stress-free (for the moment) for me since one of the steps had my foot and back be massage at the same time.

Before the recommending a treatment, they led me first to a consultation room. There they had my scalp check first and explain the present state of my scalp. The staff told me that I have flaky, inflammed scalp and damaged strands.

I'm a bit surprised because I honestly know that I have dandruff and whenever I wash my hair I make sure that I have a comb with me because I used it while rinsing my hair. Good thing is that they informed me that it made things worse since it just made my scalp look inflammed and swollen.

They have different kinds of treatments for different types of scalp problems.

These are some their hi-tech stuff that they use to check our scalp during scalp analysis

 

 These are the herbal-based agent they use with there treatments and ones they suggest you use with your home care.

SCALP BALANCING CARE PROGRAM (Regular price is Php3,000 but now Php1,500)
-Recommended for those who have " dandruff", oily, and dry scalp. These are people who always dyes their hair and rebonds it too much. It is a preventive and corrective care at the same time early treatment for those who are experiencing early signs of "hair loss".

They got one strand of hair from scalp and there  goes my damaged strand.

This is how my hair follicles actually look liked. According to their staff I just need heal my inflammed scalp and treat the dandruff problem. Too ealry to worry about hair-loss.

SCALP HEALING CARE PROGRAM (Regular Price is 6,000 but now Php3,000)
-An intensive treatment for those who have sensitive and inflammed scalp. They use natural herbal agent and herbal healing solution. This the treatment they recommended since after examining my scalp they found it inflammed and the strands are damaged.

HAIR GROWTH PROGRAM (Regular Price is Php7,000 now Php3,500)
-it is a customized scalp scaling with MTS infusion of high concentration of hair growth  ampule with diode laser therapy. It is an "advanced" treatment for hair "re-growth".

Thank God, I'm now "scalp" educated. Now I know that all that we saw from the outside goes also with the inside.From the outside our hair look shiny and full of life but what we don't know is that they're  (scalp) actually "hurting".

Pay them a visit and you might be surprise that our scalp also suffering from those treatments that we actually could help it make look healthier and full of life.

Hair Shaft Podium: Your Next-To-Being-a-Star Salon!

Ever since, I've been telling you guys here in my blog that I'm not really after those things that will make me beautiful, but as time passes, I realized it's not really about giving a damn about what the others might say about you. But what really matters is what really makes you feel or look good.

Honestly I'm kind of a late-bloomer when it come to those to going to skin clinics, hair salons and spas. it has just been now that I was able to accept the fact that I also need to reward myself the pampering it needs.

Most of the people I know always says that  they go to the spa to reward or pamper themselves. My opinion about that (before) is why spend lots of money going to a spa or salon when you can relax at the comforts of your home. My thinking is always like that because husband is the only one that has a job in the family and it kind of makes me guilty when I ever the thought of spending his hard-earned money to those kind of stuff.

But lately,been feeling a little or maybe its just about my hormones getting on me, I feel "awfully" ugly. I know..I know you could say that I am again my 'overly-reacting self". To the point that I'm actually browsing some of the group-buying sites online for the cheapest deal there is about "Hair-Rebonding".

You might ask why Hair-Rebonding ? Why not a deal about Skin whitening (since I have dark-skin)? Well for those who are not that close to me; I already have straight hair since birth (and until now...) but its ends always flies away. And one thing more, I love my long hair. Though it wasn't the shiniest but I give a damn about it. Believe it or not but I am vain when it comes to my precious mane. Like my hair has the biggest consumption of our shampoo supply.

So to cut it short from there. I want my hair to look more straighter but the problem again is I can't seem to trust the deals I've seen online. And I don't want to waste the money I've save up. Good thing is a friend suggested that I try this Hair Salon. She has tried this salon already since it's very evident with her new hair color. She suggested that I check HairShaft Podium.

Uhmm..HairShaft Podium? Just hearing the salon's name helped grew the excitement in me. So after my friend referred it, wasted no time and went there the next day.

HairShaft Podium is locate at the 3rd level of The Podium in Ortigas, Pasig City.

The place is very spacious and the staff are very courteous.

Although there's "tiny-bit" of apprehension, I still manged to walk inside effortlessly. And honestly I'm impressed because their stylists are able to "walk-the-talk". Their Their stylist are even fashionable; even sending me the impression that I'm in good hands, ooopss , My hair, that is :) .

I find this salon fabulous to the extent that even I have not tried their treatments during that time, the impression is "I'll walk out of this place looking more fab!" (that's the spirit, right!?).

This was my photo when I was seated to start the treatments. First, they ask me what I want. I told them that I want a "Hair Rebond" treatment but instead they suggested that I try their new treatment, the Permanent Blow-Dry.

Permanent Blow-Dry is a new technology that will soon replace the Hair Rebonding system. Actually I was a bit surprise because it only took us and hour and a half based on estimation. I thought it will takes us hours because the usual rebonding procedure will take almost 5 hours or so, depends on how thick your hair is.

After the "Permanent Blow-Dry" treatment, next step is Hair Color. I had to re-touch my hair color again because the white hair are showing again. So I chose "light brown" to "touch-up" the white hair that are beginning to show. Unfortunately it is in our genes that white hair starts to grow in our early 30's. My mom  has this stage too when she was my age. So the solution if you don't want your white hair showing-up, go to a salon and seek professional advice.

A collage I made for the whole procedure that I have undergone. One thing that I've learned is that when one decides to visit a salon, one must take the whole day off (if you are working) to enjoy fully the experience. I really felt pampered that night (I visited it on a Monday afternoon and finished almost 10pm). It was really all worth it.

And I like to commend my their staff and most especially my Stylist who was very patient with all the questions I asked him and me being so talkative during the whole treatment. I could not thank him more than enough most especially the owner who was very kind and humble himself.

This is me with my stylist for that night, MIGUEL. I hope you guys try to check out HAIR SHAFT Salon Podium branch. Before I actually went to the salon that day, of course I want to know the work and portfolio of those who are working at HAIR SHAFT. And even the stylists are so fashionable and good at their respective crafts other from being in the salon business. I will update this post once I got a heads-up from one of their stylists if I can post about it here on my blog.
