In a 2023 beauty-industry study, about 76% of salon clients said they base their choice on stylist skill and consistent results, while 68% ranked accessibility (location, ease of booking) and ambiance as top deciding factors.
Ayala Malls, with their high foot traffic, strategic locations, and upscale mall atmospheres, check all those boxes. Whether you’re in Makati, Pasig, Quezon City, or Davao, there’s no shortage of salons ready to help you level up your look.
Here are five salons in Ayala Malls that stand out — perfect for your next glow-up.
1. Piandré
Since 1987, Piandré has been a staple name in the Philippines, growing into the country’s largest single-owned salon chain. As a trusted Ayala Mall salon, they have multiple branches in Ayala Malls: Ayala Malls Feliz, Cloverleaf – Ayala Mall QC, and Ayala The 30th in Ortigas.
What makes Piandré a go-to:
- Full suite of services: from haircuts, coloring, balayage, to treatment and scalp care.
- Spacious, well-lit interiors with skilled stylists who often undergo regular training.
- Solid reputation: clients often highlight consistency and the value you get for money.
2. Hairshaft (Ayala Malls Vertis North, Glorietta, The Podium, etc.)
If you’re after creative styling, bold color work, or a haircut with flair, Hairshaft is a top choice. Their Vertis North branch, in particular, has become popular for its modern aesthetic, talented stylists, and service hours that accommodate busy schedules. Their motto “great hair doesn’t happen by chance, it happens by appointment” embodies their attention to detail. Pricing tends toward the mid-to-premium range, but many clients say it’s worth it for the artistry and finish.
3. Azta Urban Salon
Azta Urban has multiple branches inside Ayala Malls (e.g., Ayala Malls Feliz) and often features promotions that combine hair color, cut, and treatments. Their strength lies in trend-aware styling: they keep up with global color and cut trends while ensuring comfort and service. If you like your glow-up to reflect current looks (e.g. face-framing layers, lived-in balayage), they’ll deliver.
4. Bench Fix Salon
For those who want a great salon experience without breaking the bank, Bench Fix inside Ayala malls offers clean, reliable services. Located in places like Greenbelt, they deliver consistent haircuts, styling, and basic treatments. Many people who try Bench Fix appreciate the balance: modern styles, professional staff, accessible price points.
5. David’s Salon
David’s Salon is one of the larger chains, and branches in Ayala Malls stand out for their range: from affordable trims to more premium services. While some premium treatments might cost more, the basics (cut, blow-dry, basic color) are solid, and there are often promos. According to local feedback, a simple haircut at some David’s branches in Ayala areas can be as low as ₱400-₱500 depending on stylist level.
