Unlock Japanese Hair Perfection at Kami-Charisma-Certified NORA Hair Salon

If you’ve ever wondered what a Kami Charisma-recognized hair salon is, picture a space where your beauty is their priority. Kami Charisma Japanese Hair Salon Guide (much like the Michelin Guide for top-rated restaurants) is a prestigious annual guide to Japan’s best, highest-quality, and distinguished salons. NORA Hair Salon has been repeatedly featured and awarded on this prestigious list.

With 12 branches in Tokyo and Osaka and three locations in the Philippines, NORA aims to improve hairstyling’s artistry and elevate hairstylists’ reputation as they grow in the country through their partnership with Techno Holdings Corporation.

The salon’s name was inspired by the Norwegian play “A Doll’s House,” where the main character, Nora, transforms into the ideal woman of a new era. The salon is symbolically named NORA because it aims to help women achieve their ideal image and transform their lives through beauty. Founded in Aoyama, Japan, in 2007, NORA was envisioned as “a salon where women who enjoy life would gather.”

Beyond haircuts. Japanese products. Shampoo Massage

Hidekazu Ando (Ando-san), founder of NORA Japan and CEO of Nora Hair Salon Philippines, along with his team, takes hairstyling seriously. They focus on thoroughly analyzing customers’ hair concerns, offering immersive shampoo experiences, creating innovative and signature styles, and performing precise layering—key traits of a Japanese hair salon they’re very proud of. Ando-san understands that people value their hair highly, which is why he shares, “being entrusted with something so precious gives me great joy.”

At NORA, beauty goes beyond just haircuts and styling. It’s about building confidence and satisfaction that become part of their customers’ lifestyles.

The salon has partnered with leading manufacturers and salons in the USA and Europe to develop advanced techniques and uses renowned brands like Milbon and other premium Japanese hair care products. NORA takes pride in using products that won’t harm your hair or health while delivering quality that other salons cannot match.

Another feature unique to Nora is the emphasis placed on the shampooing process in their shampoo bed. More than just a relaxing massage, it also encourages hair growth, stimulates blood flow, and to some extent, has lifting properties. “We strive to make shampooing a relaxing and special moment,” says Ando-san. Nora also offers a hair spa.

Hairstyling and coloring trends

At NORA, the goal is for customers to feel that their entire lifestyles have improved through the uplifting power of beautiful hair. By paying close attention to the clients’ desires, face shapes, and complementary styles, NORA can transform their looks with the latest hairstyles and coloring techniques, staying ahead of global trends like the 3D hairstyles that emphasize hair flow and create dimension through layering and highlights. Nora was also a pioneer in Milktea coloring, mixing the color palette in the right proportions to produce soft and dreamy highlights. “We place great importance on two things: delivering trending hairstyles and ensuring safety and trust,” shares Ando-san.

A native of Kyoto, Japan, Ando-san has been a hairstylist for thirty years. He studied hairstyling at university for two years, taught at beauty academies in the USA and China, and is also a nationally licensed stylist in Japan.

Additionally, Nora Hair Salon will operate alongside NORA Lab, its own hairstylist training academy set to launch this August in Shangri-La Plaza. Two more branches are opening this year, increasing the total number of Nora Salons to six, which represents a 100% growth from its original number.

Meraki Esthetique Celebrates 3 Years of Empowering Transformations

In a time of increasing demand for safe, ethical, and expertly performed aesthetic procedures, particularly rhinoplasty, Meraki Esthetique marks its 3rd anniversary as a trailblazer in the field of facial plastic surgery.

Meraki Esthetique, a premier rhinoplasty clinic in the Philippines, celebrates 3 years of empowering transformations with expert care, ethical standards, and global training. Founded by Dr. Joyce Regalado-Go, a board-certified Ear, Nose, Throat, Head & Neck, Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, the clinic has steadily earned a reputation for natural-looking, harmonious results guided by ethical medical practice. With its signature approach rooted in the philosophy of “Transformation with Confidence,” the clinic has helped redefine standards of aesthetic care in the Philippines.

The clinic offers a full suite of surgical and non-surgical treatments, with rhinoplasty at its core. Other highly sought-after services include facelift, blepharoplasty, facial contouring, and liposuction, as well as non-invasive procedures like Botox, dermal fillers, thread lifts, and skin rejuvenation treatments.

This July, the clinic celebrated its milestone anniversary at Matador, Quezon City with the theme “Three x Me: Who You Were, Who You Became, Who You Are Now.” The event honored the journeys of its patients and the clinic’s evolution from a mobile practice to a trusted destination for subtle yet powerful transformations.

More than a celebration, the event also served as a fundraiser for Climb Against Cancer, a cause Dr. Regalado-Go has supported since 2012, reinforcing the clinic’s deeper purpose: transformation that extends beyond aesthetics.

In her heartfelt speech, Dr. Regalado-Go reflected on its beginnings:

“This clinic wasn’t built through perfect planning but through perseverance, closed doors, and faith,” she shared. “Anyone can open a clinic. But can you truly take care of people’s confidence, their dreams, and their stories? That’s the bigger challenge.”

The event also gave guests a preview of the clinic’s next chapter: Élevé (meaning “elevate” in French), a new platform that will merge aesthetic care with personal growth and self-development, creating a more holistic client journey.

With thousands of procedures performed, a growing international clientele, and consistently high patient satisfaction, Meraki Esthetique has become a sought-after destination both locally and internationally for clients seeking safe, ethical, and confidence-restoring aesthetic solutions.

“Each transformation is deeply personal. We treat it as a shared journey between doctor and patient,” says Dr. Regalado. “It’s not just about changing how you look, it’s about restoring dignity, confidence, and self-belief.”

Dr. Regalado-Go brings with her a wealth of training from the Philippines, the United States, Europe, Singapore, and South Korea. Under her leadership, the clinic remains committed to delivering world-class surgical and non-surgical care, empowering individuals to achieve life-changing transformations.

Tsubaki Relaunches in the Philippines: Turn Daily Hair Care Into a Japanese Beauty Ritual
Japanese hair care brand Tsubaki recently hosted an immersive lifestyle experience that brought together beauty connoisseurs and lifestyle content creators to celebrate the official Philippine launch of its Renewal Line, featuring the brand’s signature Tsubaki Moist & Repair Line, Tsubaki Volume and Repair, and Tsubaki Premium Ex Repair Care Line variants.

At the heart of every Tsubaki formula is Camellia Oil extracted from Japanese Camellia Flower, a powerful antioxidant-rich extract from green tea that provides nourishment and moisturization to the hair. Known for its revitalizing properties, this hero ingredient is the soul of the Tsubaki experience, designed specifically to meet the needs of Asian hair.

To give guests a deeper appreciation of this star ingredient, the event featured a perfume-making activity led by certified aromatherapist Jirbie Leanne Go. Attendees crafted their own fragrance blends inspired by the refreshing, invigorating scent of Camelia flower, mirroring the signature fragrance found in every Tsubaki product.

Content creators and beauty insiders share their favorites from the three luxurious variants of Tsubaki: the Premium EX Intensive Repair Care Line, the Volume & Repair Line, and the Premium Moist & Repair Line—each infused with salon-quality Japanese technology for beautiful, healthy hair.

Professional hairstylist and Tsubaki ambassador Gary Lumapas took the stage to share expert tips on how to maximize the benefits of Tsubaki’s Shampoo, Conditioner, and Hair Masks, particularly for those doing treatments at home. He encouraged guests to mix and match the three variants depending on their hair’s needs, noting that all formulas carry the same harmonious scent, making layering effortless.

“Use the Tsubaki Premium Ex Repair Care Line if you have bleached or chemically treated hair, the Tsubaki Volume & Repair Line if you’re going for lift and an airy feel,” Gary advised. “And don’t skip the Hair Mask, it’s a must at least once a week to deeply nourish and repair.”

Guests also received firsthand insight into the newly enhanced Tsubaki Renewal Line, developed to help users achieve Japanese salon-quality hair at home. Each variant has been carefully formulated to deliver specific benefits:
- The Tsubaki Moist & Repair Line restores deep moisture and shine.
- The Tsubaki Volume & Repair Line provides volume, ideal for flat & lifeless hair.
- The Tsubaki Premium Ex Repair Care Line is the ideal solution for damaged and heavily treated hair
The event was hosted by beauty and lifestyle content creator Valerie Tan, who also expressed her love for the Tsubaki Premium Ex Hair Mask, praising its convenience and the near-instant results it delivers.“I’m so amazed with the Zero Second Hair Masks by Tsubaki. Imagine, you can treat damaged hair at home with no waiting time. So hassle-free!”

Now officially available in the Philippines, Tsubaki Moist & Repair Line, Tsubaki Volume & Repair Line, and Tsubaki Premium Ex Repair are available at Mitsukoshi Mall and are also available in leading department stores, beauty retailers, and online shopping platforms nationwide. With its blend of Japanese innovation, heritage ingredients, and luxurious sensorial experience, Tsubaki invites modern Filipinas to elevate their daily hair care rituals with Japanese salon-quality at home, delivering beauty that’s effortless, elegant, and truly enduring.

Dyson Goes Bold with Purple Jasper Haircare Line

Dyson is launching a bespoke colourway across their beauty device range, inspired by the Jasper plum gemstone.

Dyson’s Colours, Materials and Finishes (CMF) engineers designed the Jasper plum colourway to capture the contrasting tones of the gemstone, resulting in a distinctive triple-toned palette: a deep plum main body, rich violet details, and bright blush pink accents.

Amelia Ayerst, CMF Design Manager at Dyson, explains, “The visual and tactile qualities of the products we use daily influence our experience. Our goal is to transform everyday items into something delightful to use and own.”

Purple jasper, known for promoting confidence, self-discovery, and personal growth, also reflects the essence of what Dyson engineers strive for in designing their styling tools — enhancing beauty from within, boosting confidence, expressing personal style, and maintaining healthy hair.

Dyson styling machines are engineered for fast, powerful, and efficient performance, acknowledging the challenge faced in finding time to prioritise self-care amidst busy lives. Your hair is more than just a style; it is an expression of who you are. Simple, mindful moments of self-care — like embracing a calm styling routine, walking with loved ones, or savouring your morning coffee — are small yet powerful ways to recharge and enhance well-being.

Launching ahead of Mother’s Day, we celebrate the strength, power, and individuality of the women in our lives — qualities symbolised by the rare purple jasper gemstone that the range is inspired by – the range could make the perfect gift. Dyson invites you to use the hashtag #SmallPowerfulMoment to share your self-care routine and celebrate the importance of taking time for yourself.

The collection is available on the Dyson Airstrait™ straightener, and the Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ multi-styler and dryer.

Meet the range.

Dyson Airstrait™ straightener

The Dyson Airstrait™ straightener lets you straighten hair from wet to dry using only air. By eliminating hot plates, it prevents both heat and mechanical damage.

The Dyson Airstrait^TM straightener in Jasper plum is currently available and is priced at PhP 34,900.00, available from Dyson Stores and dyson.ph. The presentation case is included.

Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ multi-styler and dryer

Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ multi-styler and dryer attachment offering:

Each Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ multi-styler can be customized with a range of attachments to suit the user’s hair type, length, and style.

Kickstart Your 2025 Fitness Goals with These Century Tuna-Approved Tips

The New Year isn’t just about resolutions—it’s about embracing a fresh start and making choices that bring out the best version of yourself. Whether you’re just beginning your fitness journey or aiming to elevate your routine, Century Tuna has you covered with practical, easy-to-follow tips.

Here’s how you can make 2025 your healthiest year yet, with advice from Mauro Lumba, the Century Tuna Superbod 2014 champion and fitness coach to icons Richard Gomez and Aga Muhlach.

Start Small, Stay Consistent

Start your fitness journey with small, consistent steps. Photo by Freepik

Big dreams begin with small steps. Don’t overwhelm yourself with drastic changes—start with achievable goals. A 15-minute daily walk or replacing your usual snack with Century Tuna Flakes in Oil can set the stage for long-term success. These small, consistent efforts will compound over time, leading to lasting results.

Plan Balanced, Nutritious Meals

Fuel your fitness journey with Century Tuna and Grilled Sweet Potato

The secret to crushing your fitness goals lies on your plate. Incorporate protein-packed foods like Century Tuna into your diet to fuel muscle recovery and keep your energy up. With flavors like Herbs and Spices or Paella, healthy eating has never been this convenient—or delicious!

Pro tip: Pair your meals with fiber-rich veggies and whole grains for a balanced diet that supports both your workouts and overall health.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Make sure to be hydrated during your workout. Photo by Freepik

Never underestimate the power of staying hydrated. Water isn’t just essential for survival; it plays a huge role in your fitness journey. Proper hydration boosts energy levels, aids digestion, and enhances workout performance. Keep a reusable water bottle with you at all times as a reminder to sip throughout the day.

Feeling fancy? Infuse your water with fruits like lemon, cucumber, or berries for a refreshing twist.

Move More, Every Day

Just like Century Tuna brand ambassadors Richard Gomez and Aga Muhlach, you can be consistent in your fitness journey

Fitness doesn’t have to mean hitting the gym. The key is to find activities that you genuinely enjoy, whether it’s dancing, biking, or yoga. Take inspiration from Century Tuna ambassadors Richard Gomez and Aga Muhlach, who began their fitness journeys 10 months ago and have been consistently incorporating exercise into their busy lifestyles ever since.

Consistency is what counts. Whether you’re sweating it out in a high-intensity session or simply walking the dog, every bit of movement adds up to a healthier you.

Keep Your Goals Realistic and Track Progress

It’s easy to get discouraged if you set the bar too high. Instead, set realistic goals that align with your lifestyle and fitness level. Celebrate small wins, whether it’s completing your first push-up or sticking to a week of healthy meals.

Track your journey with a fitness app or a simple journal. Seeing your progress—no matter how small—can keep you motivated and inspired to push further.

Inspire Yourself with Century Tuna’s Fitness Icons

Century Tuna isn’t just about delicious, healthy meals—it’s a lifestyle. Take inspiration from their brand ambassadors, Aga Muhlach and Richard Gomez, who embarked on their fitness journeys 10 months ago and have since made movement a part of their daily lives. Their transformation is proof that consistency and determination can lead to incredible results.

Your #JourneyToSuperbod Starts Now

2025 is your year to shine. With Century Tuna as your ultimate fitness partner, achieving your health goals has never been more attainable—or enjoyable. The combination of nutritious meals, consistent movement, and realistic goals will set you on the path to becoming your best self.

What’s stopping you? Take that first step today and let Century Tuna guide you on your #JourneyToSuperbod. For more inspiration and updates, visit Century Tuna’s website or follow them on Facebook at Century Tuna and Instagram at @centurytunasuperbods.
