The Wedding Fact Sheet

We were fortunate enough to meet hairstyling legend Ricky Reyes recently and be treated to a whole day of primping in his newest salon, the Ricky Reyes One on One on the ground floor of Transcom Building, beside Fun and Tiendesitas in Libis, Quezon City.

It seems the target market of the newest RR venture are call center personnel in the same building and residents of neighboring villages. But we were glad to find that they are grooming the place for beauty parties where you and your friends can treat yourself to a whole day of manicure, hair treatments, facials, foot spas and even a massage. The extensive menu of services makes sure head-to-toe pampering is within reach.
