SOUTHERN BLISS Here you can undergo a luxury haircare experience and other beauty salon services

Gone are the days of salons being a typical space to get your hair and nails done quickly. In recent times, consumers don’t want to just go in and out of a salon. Beauty enthusiasts want a more immersive experience with well-styled surroundings, impressive interiors, and high-quality service and reliable expertise.

Lithe Lounge, under the ownership of Architect Nico Bacani, husband of Luminisce’s Dr. Kaycee Reyes, aims to go over and beyond just the typical.

Located at Alabang West Parade, the beauty salon gives a luxurious and lavish feel with their fashionably decorated receiving area, with healthy, organic coldpress juices from Innosense to further indulge their guests for a day of pampering, wellness, and relaxation. The two-floor lounge is airy and bright, with super comfortable beige leather barber seats and golden wall-to-floor light-up mirrors that add a touch of opulence.

This isn’t all the Lithe Lounge offers. What made me personally so impressed is the quality and knowledge of treatments the stylists do. Under internationally-trained hairstylist MJ Cabarloc, the staff delivered nothing but exceptional work for all the beauty services I availed of: root color touch up, brow threading, and a mani-pedi combo. The staff were also very quiet the entire duration of my stay, which was pretty surprising for a local beauty salon. It pushed my experience to be more calming, rejuvenating, and thoroughly enjoyable—a dream me-time indeed. No wonder global brand Kerastase has officially made Lithe Lounge its partner salon in the Philippines.

PRETTY COLORS Pick as you please from the many colors available for the manicure service

“We are not just here to style, we are here to serve with cheer in our hearts and smiles all around,” Architect Bacani says with conviction and passion. This is evident in the way they engage with patrons and customers. My sister, who availed a “makeup” haircut, is so pleased with her final look, after getting her hair butchered from a previous visit to a different salon. True to Bacani’s words: “They say a bad hair day can be saved with a good hat, but we believe it can be saved with excellent hair artistry.”

From the world-class services to the high quality and branded products it uses, Lithe Lounge aims to please. It values customer satisfaction above all. With that, Lithe Lounge will go beyond the usual hair and nail treatments soon enough, as Architect Bacani and his team have big plans to add a more extensive wellness and health-centric services to their menu.

TREAT YOURSELF Relax and opt for whichever salon experience feels right for you and feel all glammed up afterward

To celebrate Women’s Month, Lithe Lounge is giving a complimentary hair treatment when you avail of any of its hair services until March 27.

Lithe Lounge is located on the second floor of Alabang West Parade, Daanghari Road, Almanza Dos, Las Pinas. Get in touch with Rochelle at +63 917-5390 044 for bookings.
