Manila's hair treatment market is among the most sophisticated in Southeast Asia, shaped by a confluence of American, Japanese, Korean, and European salon influences.

Keratin treatments infuse the hair shaft with keratin protein to smooth the cuticle, reduce frizz, and create a glossy, manageable finish. Results last 3–5 months.
