Mia and Des were familiarizing us with the area and we were saying that it could become like a SOHO of Manila with many quaint restaurants and shops. Hoping to get to try other places in the area.
After lunch, Mia took us to her neighbours 🙂 both of which are salons. So when you go visit Mia – you can shop, eat and then have your salon day too 🙂
In the corner is supposedly ” Manila’s best kept secret” – well not anymore! haha. It is on the left side of Mia’s place and there are no signs – it is in the corner of Matilde and Kalayaan
This is the front of the place
There are only two seats in this place. I had to blur the person in the chair because she got so mad at me for taking her picture. I was not really taking her photo but more of the place. Anyway, it goes to show you that the people who come here really want to be private
I went to get a business card
Robert and Alan are their names
Not sure who was who because I got so scared of that girl – we just left to avoid disturbing the clients. But this guy was very nice – he was happy I took his photo and he was chatting with Mia and Des
On the right side is another salon – Be Beautiful FOR HIM! I thought for him meaning your husband or whoever – but apparently my friend Sam who goes here said HIM means “GOD” 🙂
Here is the place. No frills but many many customers come here! The owner did not want me to take her photo, first she said because she was not fixed, then later she even said no more when she found out I was posting this in the internet. She did not want. She told me she was happy already with her present clientelle
The owner is so religious according to Sam. I took her altar under the aircon
This was why we really came! Mia and Des said that they sell yummy snacks and chicharon – so we went to look for it – and the girl took us behind this pink curtain
At the time that we went, there was only this- calamansi juice and peanuts:
