The Union Station Barber Shop for Men and Women: Experience the Art of Singeing and Other Impeccable Services

Wazzup Pilipinas!

There's a new barber shop in town, right at the center of Makati's busy commercial district,that is bound to become the destination of both men and women who wants to have a day of pampering. Yes! You read it right. It's a barber shop for both sexes - and even those in between.

The barber shop takes pride in letting everyone know that they provide modern and professionalized service to all sexes and assures that everyone will be satisfied with the quality of their work.

I got to try them out personally during the grand opening of The Union Station Barber Shop which is located at the 2nd Floor of The Link just opposite the Landmark mall and right beside the Shangri-La hotel of Makati.

I was expecting just a haircut but my barber even offered an experience to be singed! Read again - the old-fashioned art of singeing involves the use of fire to burn the small itsy-bitsy fine hairs around your ears. They have a piece of stick, wrapped the ends with some cottons, pour some flammable liquid, and then let it burn! My barber then playfully whisked it near my ears just fast enough only to burn the tiny hairs around it.
You'll enjoy the sensation of warmth from the flame as the barber "combed" his fiery instrument smartly around my ears. Those fine tiny hairs were removed, leaving sleek and tidy ears. This makes you realize how many of the old ways are lost through the generations, and how The Union Station Barber Shop has brought it back to the modern world of barber shops.

The Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI), formally opened the much-awaited 5th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), a 4-day motoring event happening on September 18-21 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

The opening ceremony was led by no less than Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade, Industry & Entrepreneurship. He was joined by key officials of CAMPI members and affiliates as well as delegates of the ASEAN Automotive Product Working Group.

“This year’s Philippine International Motor Show goes beyond being a world-class motoring convergence, more importantly, it’s a demonstration of how the automotive industry plays a significant role in shaping this nation’s progress,” says Sen. Aquino IV.

On its 5th year, PIMS brings together unique exhibits from (17) top car manufacturers and distributors in the country, and serves as the perfect platform to champion the exponential growth of the motoring industry.

“PIMS is the perfect demonstration of the successes that the Philippine motoring industry has achieved over the years. We enjoyed double-digit growth since 2011, and we have no plans of letting up” says Atty. Rommel Gutierrez, President of CAMPI.
