If you’re someone who finds joy in self-care and grooming, you know how important it is to find the right stylist and salon that makes you feel both pampered and at ease. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Suyen’s Salon, located on the 20th floor of High Street South Corporate in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). From my second haircut experience there to my first indulgent hair gloss treatment, every visit has been nothing short of transformative.
The Suyen’s Salon Experience: A Quiet, Private Haven
Suyen’s private hair studio offers a unique, serene experience that sets it apart from the typical bustling beauty salon. The studio, located high above the city, exudes tranquility with its modern yet cozy design. One of the features I love most is their use of time slot bookings, which ensures that your visit feels private and undisturbed. You’ll never feel rushed here — it’s a truly peaceful space where the focus is entirely on you.
I booked my appointment with the senior stylist, Jen, who has earned my loyalty after our first session. Jen is incredibly knowledgeable and has a way of making you feel confident in her expertise. This visit was especially exciting because I was due for a haircut after growing my hair out for a while and wanted a change. Jen and I spent some time discussing my preferences, and she patiently listened to what I had in mind. We explored different options for the cut, and she gave valuable input, making sure to factor in the natural texture of my hair and what would work best for me.
The Dry Cut: Precision at Its Best
What I love about Suyen’s approach to haircuts is their commitment to dry cutting. Yes, you heard that right — my haircut was done entirely on dry hair! Jen explained that dry cuts allow for more precision, as it gives the stylist a better understanding of how the hair falls naturally and how each strand behaves, seeing exactly how it falls. This method also ensures the final cut is much more tailored to the individual, creating a look that’s both flattering and functional.
Before starting the dry cut, Jen used a scalp device to examine my scalp condition. It was a fascinating process! The device showed that my scalp was slightly over-hydrated, though Jen assured me that my hair was still in healthy condition. After discussing the best approach for my hair, we decided on a split ends trim with some feathered layers and soft curtain bangs in the front. The result was a beautifully textured, structured cut that felt fresh but still true to my style.
The Hair Gloss Treatment: A TikTok Trend Worth Trying
On my first visit to Suyen’s, I treated myself to the highly talked-about hair gloss treatment. After seeing so many TikTok videos raving about it, I decided to give it a go, and I’m so glad I did. The treatment left my hair incredibly smooth, shiny, and vibrant, and it felt like a mini transformation. The best part? It’s not just about aesthetics — the gloss treatment also helps to enhance the overall health of your hair, adding moisture and shine without the use of harsh chemicals.
The trend, often touted as something “hot girls don’t gatekeep,” definitely lived up to the hype. It was a true luxury experience that made my hair look and feel its best, leaving me glowing both inside and out.
A Personal Touch: Meeting Suyen and Feeling at Home
One of the highlights of my visit was getting to meet Suyen herself. She was working with another client, but when Jen started cutting my hair, she complimented my thick hair, saying, “I love your hair!” Her warmth and kindness made the experience even more memorable. Suyen’s gentle energy flows throughout the studio, and I immediately felt like I was in good hands. I also had the pleasure of meeting her adorable dog, who was lounging comfortably in the studio. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, adding a personal touch that made me feel right at home.
A Calming Experience: The Haircut as a Form of Self-Care
Haircuts have often been stressful for me in the past. As a child, I remember dreading the idea of sitting in the salon chair. But at Suyen’s, the experience is completely different. It’s no longer about rushing to get the perfect look or worrying about making the wrong choice. Instead, it’s a collaborative process — a calm conversation between me and Jen, as we work together to create the best possible version of my hair.
In a way, the visit became more than just a haircut; it was a form of self-care. Taking the time to care for myself, try something new, and leave the studio feeling rejuvenated was exactly what I needed. Growing my hair out had made me feel a bit stuck in my usual routine, but with Jen’s expertise, I was able to try a fresh look that suited me perfectly.
The Verdict: I’ll Be Back!
Overall, my experience at Suyen’s Salon has been nothing short of amazing. The combination of expert styling, the unique dry cut method, and the self-care ambiance has made it my go-to place for all things hair. Whether you’re in need of a fresh cut, a nourishing treatment, or simply looking for a private, calming space to unwind, Suyen’s Studio delivers it all.
Jen is now my trusted stylist, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. If you’re in BGC and looking for a salon that combines expertise, a focus on simplifying beauty through dry cuts, and a peaceful atmosphere, I highly recommend checking out Suyen’s Salon. You won’t just leave with gorgeous hair — you’ll leave feeling refreshed, pampered, and ready to take on the world.
