It’s exactly been one week since I had my hair rebonded last Saturday at Tony and Jackey Salon in Festival Mall, Alabang.
My sister saw that they were having a summer long promo, with rebond prices for as low as P1,500 for any length! Considering that Tony and Jackey is a reputable salon, that deal looked really good. (Or so we thought)
They didn’t put the P1,500 Aqua Rebond package on this poster, but it’s printed on the flyer in their salon.
When we got there, however, we weren’t allowed to get the P1,500 Aqua Rebond promo. HARUMPH!
They saw that my hair had recently undergone coloring and Aqua Rebond might damage my already damaged hair (Yes, they said that). They suggested I should get the L’Oreal Extenso Rebond instead for P3,000. (Hmm, sige na nga.) They also suggested (strongly) that I get the P1,000 Keratin Treatment with Haircut since my hair is SO dry. (Ma’am, ang dry talaga ng hair nyo!)
(At this point, I couldn’t help raising my eyebrows already. Come on, my hair isn’t THAT BAD!)
My sister’s hair, on the other hand, is all natural (virgin, untouched hair) but she also wasn’t allowed to get the P1,500 rebond because her hair strands were too thin. (Sige na nga, ulit…)
Fine, so much for the P1,500 promo. But since my sister and I would prefer to pay more than have our hair ruined, we just went ahead with the L’Oreal Extenso Rebond for P3,000. Wahaha, cheapo!
How my hair turned out
When I think about it, I don’t really need to rebond my hair since I have naturally straight hair. But rebonding helps me with growing out my hair especially during the awkward length. I also hate getting the frizzies and I’m too lazy to use anti-frizz hair products. So rebonding is the convenient way for lazy ol’ me to grow out my hair.
With flash. Sorry, some people hate it but I really like the ‘walis’ look, hehe.
If I don’t rebond, I get really annoyed with bad hair days and end up chopping my hair. So much for growing it out.
Will I go back to Tony and Jackey?
To be honest, I’m not that pleased with my Tony and Jackey experience for the following reasons:
- They’re too hard sell, bordering on pushy. It’s like they’re all over your face suggesting this and that treatment, it’s actually quite overwhelming and intimidating. I went there for the P1,500 promo, obviously I’m trying to be frugal. And then they suggested that I go get the Volumizing Rebond package for P6,000? Uhhhhm.
- I found the stylists working there a bit tactless. Instead of saying “damaged hair”, they could have said something like, “chemically treated.” They didn’t have to say over and over that my hair was soooooooooooooooooo dry. After the rebond and cut, my stylist actually “Tsk!”-ed, shook her head and said something like, “Sayang, you should have had the Volumizing Rebond done.” Thanks ha, you just made me feel ugly.
- I felt like the people there were money hungry. I had 4 people attending me! Two stylists and two assistants. That meant a whole lot of tips. I wish they informed me first that they would assign extra people. I had a budget, you know.
I didn’t know if it was because I was hungry, but I was pretty cranky by the time they were done. I just wanted to pay and leave.
HOWEVER. I would want to go back again to try their hair cut. Since I was their for almost 4 hours, I saw a lot of people come and go. And every person who left, left with a really good hair cut! Or maybe for a digital perm. Oh, and my rebond turned out okay, anyway.
So maybe, just maybe, I’ll go back there sometime in the future.
But for now, I’m sticking with my regular stylist, Jenny of Jay Feliciano Salon for my hair pampering and needs.

hi! I also had a bad experience @ Tony and Jackey Festival Mall. I’ve been there last week and tried the digiperm, sympre i chose the most expensive one kasi may hair blessing daw at less hair damage. But before ako nagpa digiperm, i told the assistants and stylist about the history of my hair na nag parebond ako 8mos ago then cellophane. Sabi its okay daw kasi okay naman ang hair ko, so okay na kami sa price, digiperm blackhair blessing,treatment and haircut. After ma shampoo yun hair ko, the stylist recommend to rebond the upper part then digiperm un lower part so additional payment nanaman for the rebond. Okay, basta maganda hair ko. Okay naman ang kinalabasan and i really love it mga ka officemate ko nga inggit sa hair ko. then after 2 days i wash my hair, kaso na straight un pinaka dulo, so i returned back to tony and jackey for retouch as instructed nung nagpa digiperm ako balik daw ako pag nawala ang curls at uulitin. Nung bumalik ako, sabi hindi na daw pwede e perm kasi daw,hindi na rin makukulot yung dulo dahil baka damage na daw. hello! e ang healthy ng hair ko taz now sasabihin damage na. sabi ko hndi na ba talga magagawan ng paraan? hndi n daw tlga pwedeng e perm ulit dahil hndi rin tatalab, so they recommend na cut ang hair at lagyan ng style to enhance the curl, akala ko e lalayered lang taz tanggalin un pinakadulo lang na hindi nag curl. e sabi ko, okay basta mahaba pa rin at maganda result. Aba nagulat ako ang laki ng ginupit nya as in, nagbayad ako ng malaki sa digiperm taz e cucut lang nya, super lungkot ako tlga. then sabi ko papacolor ako ng hair kas medyo may mga white na, ask ko if pwede ba, oo daw. e di nagpa half color lang ako. Sabi ko since na curl naman yung part ng hair ko na natira sa gupit sabi ko baka pwede pa perm ulit para mas curly sya, di daw pwede kasi ayos naman na yung kulot nya. so blower nila yung hair ko at nilagyan ng koren ng style. medyo okay naman maiksi na nga lang. pero now need ko pa e set ng matagl at blower blower para lang makuha un style nya, super naiyak talaga ako at pinutol yung dream hair ko, yun talaga ang hair na gusto ko at hindi ganito ang hirap ayusin dahil umiksi na sya. Dapat sana from the start sinabi na nila agad na hindi kaya ng digiperm e di sana nagpa volume rebond nalang ako, kaya nga sila may stylist to check the hair, para san pa un ginawa nila na pag checheck ng buhok ko after nung shampoo, wla rin palang silbi. I really feel so bad. at hindi na ako nakakatulog dahil ang lungkot ko talaga at umiyak pa ako dahil pinutol nila yung hair na binayaran ko ng napaka mahal. Wala na yung hair na inalagaan ko at pinahaba. nagbayad ako sa Tony and Jackey para lang sirain ang buhok ko…
Thanks for this. Good thing I only trust Mr. Shin of Beauty Brick! I heard a lot of bad comments about TJ. I might visit TJ but if it is only for a haircut! :)
I had a good digiperm last year and when the curls started to grow out after one year I decided to have another digiperm. I went to their cubao branch last Mar 16 and I showed the pinay stylist and explained what I wanted. While she was trimming my hair she said she was gonna layer it because “masyadong mababa na ang layer”. So I said okay, but she thinned out my hair chopping off more than 6 inches from the crown!! There is now an 8 inch difference between the longest strand and the shortest strands of my hair. Hair that took me 3 years to grow!! And worse the perm did not work so you have short hair at the top with curls and long hair underneath that was straight. I look like I have a dead cat for a wig!! I am so angry right now and yes I still cry about my hair, considering that for 29 years of my existence I never grew my hair this long.
They tried fixing the curls yesterday, but the super shortened layers at the top of my head stick out like a stupid mop. I can’t even tie my hair into a pony tail to hide the stupid job they have done!! I have to live with this shitty hair for the next 2-3 years. I am going to file a complaint letter at their office. My hair is to precious to be treated so shabbily. 3 years of caring for my hair and only 3 hours for them to turn it into crap. I say they better give me free hair service at market market (where the korean stylist did a good job that first time) until my hair is back to it’s beautiful length.
Btw sorry for the language. As it is, there is nothing more appropriate to describe the horrible job they did.
Guy irecommend ko sa inyo yun Beauty Brick (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beauty-Brick-Hair-Art-Studio/146116235455342?fref=ts) owned and supervised by a korean din. Di sila more of money like “have some treatment like that blah blah blah”. I had may stru-curl as in straight plus curl for around 4,500 including na yung treatment and haircut. Nice din yung mga stuff.
This is a follow up on the comment I posted last March 29, 2013.
So I complained about the botched hair job their cubao branch did. My stylist was Filipino and ahe layered my hair by cutting off more than 6 inches without telling, and she burned my hair. Worse the perm was also wrong because only the short layers curled while the long ones did not.
I went to their main office to show the president what happened to my hair and he explained to me that layers had to be done in digiperm jobs otherwise the hair will fluff up. He then called up Mr. Tony who took a look at my hair and he said it was the wrong perm and that he was gonna fix my hair.
At first I was so apprehensive about another perm because my hair might get even more damaged, but since my hair was so crappy I might as well have them fix it for free.
They gave me two Wella SP treatment. I took those treatment sessions 3 days apart. Then I went to their education center for Tony to fix my hair.
Tony gave me their healing spa service before he started on my hair and he permed my hair with iron perming which is more labor intensive and time consuming than digiperm because the waves are customized. All in all it took 4 hours but I am very happy with my hair now. The perm is soooo pretty!!! Amazing at the very least. In fact my hair strands are way better than they were before that botched job in Cubao.
I was later told that the healing spa is about 25k max and the iron perming was 20k+, but they gave it to me for free because they wanted to fix my hair and make me happy :) on top 7of that it was Tony himself who did it, so I guess lucky me? :)
Next week I’m showing all my girlfriends my hair. Not the perm, but the strands. That healing spa was expensive but my hair is almost virgin hair after that treatment.
Thanks Tony, I’m a believer again!!! :) one of these days I’ll send him a thank you gift. He was such a nice guy :)
