The salon industry was one of the hardest hit by lockdown regulations. When architect Nico Bacani’s go-to salon was about to be shut down, he and his wife, Luminisce’s Dr. Kaycee Reyes, couldn’t bear displacing the talented hairstylists and manicurists without a space to work on their craft. Thus, Lithe Lounge was born.
An architect, Bacani designed the interiors to evoke artistry and glamour while being airy and relaxing
“They say a bad hair day can be saved with a good hat, but we believe it can be saved with excellent hair artistry,” he says during the launch.
Lithe Lounge is a one-stop shop, offering a comprehensive menu of on-trend hair treatments like the new French gloss, permanent and semi-permanent color, scalp treatments, and hair extensions. Their head hair stylist MJ Cabarloc is a Frank Provost protégé and has over two decades of experience, specializing in the most seamless layers and highlights. Manicurists are trained in both the wet and dry technique, whether you’re asking for the Instagram-famous magnet cat eye style or a simple cleaning.
To round out the relaxing experience, they also carry organic cold-pressed juices by Innosense. “We are not just here to style, we are here to serve with cheer in our hearts and smiles all around,” Bacani explains.
An in-house trichologist is available by appointment in the salon to take consultations so you can get the correct assessment, whether it’s a scalp treatment or something more invasive.
