Are you thinking of spoiling your man with a hair cut? Don’t bring him to the same parlor where you had your hair permed three months ago–take him to a special grooming salon instead. Your man deserves a dapper haircut from a barber who knows his sh*t, after all.
5. Talas Manileño
If your man is into the James Dean pompadour craze, take him to Talas Manileño–a retro-hip themed concept barbershop owned by Jericho Rosales. The Filipino word talas means sharp, which is exactly what your boyfriend will look like once he steps off his ~vintage~ barber chair.
Try the: Manileño (cut, wash, scalp massage, and choice of craft beer, whiskey, or brewed coffee) or Tasa (cut and wash)
Location: Cubao Expo 38 Gen. Romulo Ave., Bgy. Socorro, Cubao, Quezon City
Reserve a chair: 0917 503 1842 / reservations@talasmanileno.com

This aviation-themed barbershop takes grooming to first class. Book your SO an appointment and get a boarding pass to a clean, smooth cut.
