Established by Leticia Labre after having returned from living in London for more than a decade,she says “During our years in London, my husband and I worked full-time, raised babies, at times had no help, went through a PhD, and that’s just to name a few things. But we’ve never been busier than we are now in Manila. There is something about Manila life that is so full.  At the same time, the bar is set very high for women here on how they should look. The conflict of looking and feeling your best in a way that fits in your schedule and budget is what The Style Run resolves.

We sent two of our writers: Marita Galvez and Krizel Malabanan
on their take on this blow-on-the-go and Vitamin treatment for their very different hair conditions.

 

krizel

 

Here are the deets: Krizel has very curly hair, combing is unadvisable. #CurlyHairedWomenKnow that having this great mane on your head comes with great responsibility. There is no room for versatility usually. Also, products you use on your hair to keep it sane ends up being 10x more expensive than the regular ones.

  Marita, on the other hand has the usual straight hair—tame to say the very least. 
The thing is, she changes hair color more than you change your underwear—not quite—but almost a good reference.

With this being said, no matter how much care Marita does (Keratin rich deep conditions, weekly even daily)
it still ends up damaged (DUH! We got a bleacher over here)

 

They tried out The Style Run’s vitamin nourishing treatment. At The Style Run, coconut-based hair nourishing treatments are mixed with other essential oils such as rosemary, lavender, mint, lemon, and others, depending on the condition of each customer’s hair. 
We were treated well in the service of Mommy Rosie, The Style Run’s resident stylist who for 14 years worked for the salon of a five-star hotel in Makati.

 

First, they see the condition of your hair. They ask your hair history specifically if you’ve ever had hair fall or if like Marita who likes to color and expose your hair to harmful chemicals. Leticia, the owner and founder had some hair nightmares in the past specifically hair fall. She shared her hair story and how she developed these hair masks that tailored to her problem.

 To be honest it felt like a doctors appointment. I liked how much care they had for each and every client. They understand that every person is different. There was also a client Marita met that made the nutrient hair mask a weekly routine. She talked about how she had allergies on her face before, how its connected to the hair products that she used. Now that she was having weekly treatments from Style Run, since the ingredients were all natural and organic, it did wonders on her skin condition as well. Who would’ve thought the relationship with our skin and hair was that relevant?

Next they immensely wash and condition your hair. You may also tell them if you’re using hair dyes on your hair. This is a concern with hair washing since it might not be a good idea to shampoo your hair cause it might wash away your hair color. This was a concern for Marita. She didn’t color her hair recently to give way for this treatment.

 Then, they carefully place the mixture on your hair section by section. The scalp is first brushed, and then the oil is massaged into the scalp, and left to be absorbed for over half an hour.

 

They proceed with blow drying your hair. The Style Run doesn’t use hooded dryers but lets the natural heat from our scalp facilitate absorption. 
“Was really excited for this part since I’ve never had my hair professionally blow dried before.” – Marita

 This was Marita’s hair half-ly blow dried. “I don’t like my hair flat. It makes me seem so serious or boring. I hate flat ironing my hair. Blow drying gave me straight hair with body. I’d recommend it for people sharing my sentiments”

 Just for 500 pesos, you can get a blow dry and arrive in time for your after-lunch date or meeting with the boss or special someone donning a hair that is ready to impress. Blow dries are at a flat price of P500, whatever the length or thickness of your hair is. The price goes down to P300 for women who regularly have their hair blown dry at least once a week.

When In Manila’s take on The Style Run, Makati according to 
Marita: Giving them 9 out of 10 stars. Everyone was so friendly. THAT is very important. Who would want to go to a salon with irritated manicurists or hair stylists? Their hair mask lasted me for 3 days even if my hair was intensely curled after, when I woke up the next day, it was as if nothing happened. I also like how they cared about my hair history and all. They really understand hair and what to do with it. 

Krizel: Without being plastic, I would give it a 10. They really took care of me when I was there. Plus really the fact that they’re just beside the supermarket makes it convenient for me. I’m also the type na Hindi masyado mahilig sa chemicals on my hair. So I love the coconut treatment side of it.
