Bench Fix | My Macho Hairstylist

When I went to Butuan last December for a wedding, I went to a certain salon and was surprised to see 4 macho men doing the hair services to their patrons. They were cutting and styling hair, re-bonding, and they were pretty good at their job. Most male stylists that I see in salons are gays, no offense meant. But in that particular salon, the hair stylists are real men. I just could not believe that real men can actually do hair styling for women. It seems off to me, but hey, let's not stereotype...

Before I left the salon, I told myself that someday, I'm gonna have my hair cut by a man. I've tried asking my beau's barber once but he refused. I could have had my haircut at that salon in Butuan, if not for the busy schedule of the male hairstylists.

Last month, I was deeply bored with my lifeless hair and decided to have a haircut. I went to Bench Fix in SM Lanang Premier and to my surprise, a male stylist accommodated me. My dream of having my hair cut by a real man will now become a reality.

Meet Carlos, my hair stylist.

I was happy that Carlos understood what I want for my hair. I've been looking all over Davao City for somebody who can cut and style my hair like Mommy Rose (my old hairstylist) did. I don't want any kind of hair straightening done to my hair, I just want a really good haircut that will enhance the beauty of my wavy locks.

Here's how my hair looked like a few hours after the haircut:

A month after, my hair has started to grow back and I like that Carlos achieved the look and style that I want with my hair. I'm pretty low maintenance and my hairstyle is good to go with just "wash and wear." Maybe I need some regular trim for my bangs. Hope Carlos is still there at Bench Fix SM Lanang Premier when I go back there soon.
