Editor\u2019s Pick — Makati
“Ask for Senior Colorist Jana at David’s Premier — her balayage on dark Asian hair is genuinely world-class. Book at least three weeks ahead for weekend slots. It is, without question, the finest hair colour appointment in the city.”

Makati vs BGC
How do they compare?
Where BGC offers the newest facilities and the most international aesthetic references, Makati brings the authority of legacy. David’s Salon has been setting the standard for Philippine hair since 1980; Flawless has built a clinical trust that no BGC newcomer can replicate overnight. Makati’s beauty landscape is also more geographically diverse — from the urban commercial energy of Ayala to the quieter, tree-lined boutique atmosphere of Salcedo and Rockwell. Prices in Makati tend to be 10–20% lower than equivalent BGC venues for comparable quality, making it the smarter choice for regular treatments. BGC wins on hotel spa grandeur; Makati wins on depth, diversity, and value.
