Do you sometimes feel like getting a haircut or having your nails done in the middle of a shopping trip? Or are you the type who goes to the mall for everything—including her pampering needs?

If you live or work in the QC or Ortigas area and love frequenting Robinsons Galleria, there’s a great salon there that you can try: Vivere Salon. When you suddenly feel the urge for a quick tress or nail treat without blowing your budget, this place gives you value-for-money within chic, bright, and relaxing surroundings.

Vivere is a full-service salon located at major sites in the metropolis, with other branches in Robinsons Place Ermita and SM North Edsa. I brought a friend along when I visited their Galleria branch recently. We asked for their senior stylist to do our haircuts, and tried one of their signature hair treatments and mani-pedi services, which I will describe after the jump.
