It all started in1972 when Mr. Park Jun began to take interest in the beauty industry.

He pursued a hairdressing course in Korea and joined numerous contests to harness his forte. Finally in 1981, he opened his first salon “Park Jun Beauty Town”, and through his participation in elite hair shows in countries such as Moscow, Beijing, London and Canada, his salon’s fame grew. By 1999, Park Jun already had more than 200 salons in Korea and overseas.

Today, Park Jun’s Beauty Lab brings the latest trends and hairdressing techniques to the Philippines through the skills of its Artistic Director, Kino Lee; Creative Director Maiya Noh; Style Director, Jinny Kim; and our very own Filipino stylist, Aldous Ong.

This 2009 “women’s hair trends will play to the extreme” shares Maiya Noh. “We will see more of the bob, bangs and fringe hairstyles in different lengths and volume.” Jinny Kim also introduces Park Jun’s Beauty Lab’s unique services such as Volume Rebonding, which not only straightens out the hair but gives it volume, and Volume Magic Wave that creates perfect and more natural looking curls. Stylist Al Ong also stresses this season’s highlight on the curls which is also one of the salon’s specialties through Perming. Finally, Kino Lee offers Korea’s edgy hair styles for the stylish Filipino men, “Men can try a decorous or asymmetric cut if they have a natural wave. Something like a twist of the classic school boy cut with a bit of rocker-edge.”

Kino took care of me last week and he is really good!  He was very concerned about my hair and he taught me how to care for my hair.  They had gadgets which I never saw in any salon in our country – instead of the normal steamer they put when you have a hot oil, they have this machine that they put directly on your head and the temperature is just right

Mariza, Nic, Mig and Iya

I am so thrilled every time someone asks me to take photos of them…though I am not a professional photographer, I act as if I am 🙂  and I say yes!  I took photos of 3 young adults to help them out with their set cards.   Of course I cannot say no to them and of course I want to help them.  I am not a stylist nor a designer nor a photographer with special equipment so these are all fun shots and who knows if one of them become famous… I will be the one to claim fame that I took their photos when they were just dreaming of becoming a star 🙂

These are two year old photos except for the ones of Mariza which were just very recent.

Nicole

She did not ask me to take her photo, I was the one who asked her to join us in the shoot -but of course she is the one who comes out all the time in magazines

Skin Food Masks

By | Beauty, Spas | No Comments

I discovered these facial masks from Skinfood and I love them!  They are perfect for me especially when I have no time to go to Clarins Institut late at night or while travelling or just when my face breaks out. For busy people, you can even use it while in the car or on the plane just to relax and moisturize your skin. They are so easy.  You just open the pack, open the mask and put it on your face for 10 to 15 minutes.

There are different kinds of masks for different needs….

They even have a leg patch!  I bought one but am waiting for a reason to use it 🙂

 They even have for men, but as usual, they have only one choice 🙂  Men are easy when it comes to skin care products

  They have eye patches – it is not clear in this photo but there is a patch for under the eye. They have for nose and cheeks also.  It is a patch that you leave for around 20 minutes. sc0049793301.jpg    

Skinfood is available at Rustan’s Essenses, Makati

Meet Aiko

By | Beauty, What's New at Rustan's | 6 Comments

Over the holidays as I was in the Christian Dior cosmetics counter at Rustan’s Makati I saw this pretty girl who apparently works as a make up artist for Dior.  In a few seconds I heard her talk and was surprised to hear a masculine voice.  So i asked the other girl in the counter there if she was a “he” and it was confirmed that “he” was the “she” that i thought.  I could not believe it!   

I just had to take a photo and share this with you.  Meet Aiko! Aiko willingly posed for me.  You can meet Aiko and see for yourself! First level, Christian Dior cosmetics counter at Rustan’s Makati.   She/He is REAL!
