SALON DE MANILA - WORLD CLASS

By Robbie Pangilinan

Pin Antonio shares her brilliance through her genes. Pin is not the only Antonio who’s working towards the ascent of the hairstyling industry as Salon De Manila and Antonio Hairdressing very own Adlai Peter Antonio crashes into the limelight.

Adlai recently has been chosen to represent the Philippines as one of the best hairstylists in Asia for “BEST OF ASIA BY WORLD TOUR” conducted by a world famous brand in hairstyling held in Macau last May 18-21, 2009. He was given another chance to showcase his talent for the second time.

Being one of the nation’s most sought after precision haircutters and creative colorists, Adlai is surely making his own reputation resound as a way of solidifying the Antonios place in the hair industry. He also has been launched as one of the interpreters of the Davines Matinee Collection at the Davines World Style Contest last year where he represented Salon de Manila and he unveiled his talent. It was his first break being given the chance to display his own expertise, creative ideas and his acquired knowledge from his mentors, her mother and Salon de Manila’s head colorist, Lilia Lacbayen.

Adlai has the clientele not all 23 year-old budding stylists have. Among the long list of clients are celebrities and famous artists.

As Adlai puts it, people expected a lot from him being the son of Pin Antonio, the “Hairdresser to the Stars.” The proud mother said she is thrilled for her son and she is proud of him because he is passionate with his craft.

But the young International School of Culinary Arts graduate hopes to someday be known as more than Adlai the son of the “Queen of Stars”. He wishes that one day, he would be one of the world’s best hairstylists.
