    Interestingly, ... midway down the link page, there's an ad for 'Amami Styling Lotion'.

    's [roughly] about the colour of bottle it came in - as far as I recall - since my mother used it and, when I was a teenager, I'd nick some of the stuff from her dressing table and apply it to my own hair, in an attempt to make it wavy!

    Hmph ... didn't do me much good!

    My hair cut is a number 1 all over
    P100
    sometimes I have a shave and massage as well at P100 extra
    Sometimes they're too scared to make a really close shave usually. But hey ho the experience is just too much to miss

    My manager cuts mine, but do remember when you went to the local barbers as a kid and when the man in front of you had finished the barber asked him if he 'wanted anything for the weekend' what was all that about?....

    I went gray very early infact i am the only one in the family that went gray so quick, i got use to it too,
    It amazes me when you do get the older gent going a stupid colour but then again i have never seen the older man in a blue rinse yet,

    P35 for a haircut, massage and a good hiding? That's what I call value. What's their address?

    SM mall price

    When we lived in Davao I could get a hair cut and massage for P40
    I'd rather pay the extra.

    The cheapest is for me to cut it myself. Number one all over.
    I enjoy the going out and enjoying the rituals of a good old fashioned barber's shop.
