Orange Blush Salon’s Grand re-Launch at Franchise Asia Expo

Tweet

Orange Blush Salon (OBS), the fast-growing salon chain, gears up as it relaunches its brand at the upcoming Franchise Asia Expo set on July 21-23 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. 

The grand re-launch takes place at Booth 207 of this year’s franchise expo, touted as the biggest in the country. Hundreds of franchising businesses participate in this much-anticipated event, as OBS re-launches with revamped franchise packages that should make it easier to own an outlet of your own thru installment plans in partnership with BDO. 

“We are excited to announce that during the expo, we shall be holding a three-day sale with P50,000 off on our franchise fee,” said the brand’s maker Joby Linsangan-Moreno. 

“Our main objective is to find suitable and qualified franchisees who could be our partners in expanding Orange Blush.” 

OBS is eyeing to approve at least 10 franchisees at the Expo.

At present, there are eight franchised OBS branches, with one in Lipa, Batangas opening soon. The flagship branch and main office is located at Spark Place Mall in P.Tuazon corner 10th Avenue in Cubao, Quezon City. 

Best known as a rebonding center, OBS, which originated in Cabanatuan, is set to open 10 new branches within Metro Manila and in Metro South (Batangas and Antipolo). 

For interested franchisees, there will be pre-approved branches located inside community malls, in partnership with Waltermart, Citymall, Vista Malls, SM Savemore, SM City, and Robinsons Townville malls. 

Joby shared her valuable thoughts on franchising, stating, ‘Franchising is actually borrowing and sharing the owner’s operations standards with a fee. It is operating within the regulations of the franchisor with proven business system and standards.“

 “Franchising is for those who are willing to follow and adapt to the culture of the franchisor and for those who would want to invest and grow the business with the franchisor by sharing the same vision and beliefs,” she added.

OBS is fast-becoming a household brand, thanks to significant exposures it enjoys on shows like ABS-CBN’s Umagang Kay Ganda, Magandang Buhay, and ASAP. It is at present the main hair and make-up sponsor for Banana Sundae.

The process of rebond, a permanent hair straightening procedure is the OBS brand’s strength, backed by a warranty service wherein customers availing the rebonding treatments are given warranty cards. In this set-up, clients are asked to return after a week for their hairs to be checked. If touchups are needed, OBS staff will do them free of charge. 

A mild-mannered, hard worker who takes pride on her provincial roots, Joby further explained her vision for OBS: 

“Our goal is to become the top-of-mind hair salon in the country. We want people to think of Orange Blush Salon when they want to have their hair cut or rebonded. We want them to feel that at OBS, you are being cared for and that our customers are our highest priority. Our mission is to make our customers feel loved, happy, hopeful, and beautiful.”

Joby, a UST graduate who jumpstarted her salon business on a P30,000 shoestring budget, is now being handled by Asian Artist Agency.

“I have been attending workshops under the supervision of King of Talk Boy Abunda. I am truly honored for this golden opportunity to speak what’s on my mind and what’s in my heart, and to share my life and my stories to others.”

Those visiting the OBS booth at the Franchise Asia Expo SMX can expect some great vibes in the name of beauty and hope.

Joby Linsangan Moreno Is The Orange Lady

Tweet

Businesswoman Joby Linsangan-Moreno,, owner of the Orange Blush Salon with several branches in Luzon and Metro Manila, shared that the color orange represents happiness, positivity, and optimism. 

Dubbed as the "Orange Lady," Joby is likely to be seen more and more spreading good word about hair care and entrepreneurial success as she is signed as a talent under Asian Artists Agency Inc.

AAAI is developing personalities that go beyond the conventional definition of an artist. And Joby is one that can positively influence people through her success in business. And she inspires dreamers like her to attain their lofty goals.

"Running a business is not merely a way of earning money. It's about putting your heart and soul to something you are passionate about. It is your path to growing and glowing," shared Joby who finished a course in medical technology and is a licensed medical technologist. After graduation, she worked in a local hospital in her hometown Cabanatuan, before answering the calling of her heart.

Joby is the creator of the Orange Blush Salon chain, which started as a small parlor in Cabanatuan and has now 20 outlets spread out in Luzon. It is bound to take Metro Manila by storm after last year's opening of its state-of-the-art flagship branch in Quezon City that was put up as a haven for franchisees.

OBS is a premier stop for affordable haircut and hair rebond service, capturing the 18-40 market of young professionals, young mothers, or just about everyone attuned to the ever-trendy straight hair fashion. While Joby owns half of the existing OBS outlets to date, business players diversifying their opportunity approach tend to like it as good investment or avenue to earn more. More importantly, it is a result-oriented place warmly extending beauty care service to people.

Four years after the franchisee tandem of Atty. Sherwin Tuquero and wife Ciara Bernadette put up an OBS outlet-- the first branded salon to open up in the close-knit community of Victoria, Tarlac, the small town now happily enjoys the constant presence of hair and nail care professionals and the privilege of not having a bad hair day.

A new branch opening in Lipa, Batangas is likewise expected to get that emphatic effect among its townsfolk.

She shared, "We specialize in post-service treatment because it's one way to know if you're constantly doing a good job. If a customer comes back to make use of our warranty offer, which basically means an extra round of service free of charge, it's a chance to prove that for us, the bottomline is really to satisfy clients."

No doubt carrying the moniker "The Orange Lady” sounds cool to Joby, a devoted wife who married her first and only boyfriend in life and a caring mother of three who does mother duties first before giving back her focus on the business. Besides, it's her favorite color and the one thing that quickly differentiates it from other salons.

"The orange color makes me happy. It is not too aggressive like red or too relaxing like yellow. It imbues tranquility, energy, and youthfulness," she explained.

Good point. She related how she needed to hire young people to work for OBS during the start-up years, how she had to learn the art of hair cutting and coloring and attend seminars herself, and how being a businesswoman entails hard work way past the eight-hour regular job.

But she endured everything, from the birth pains of a then-unknown business name to her continuing quest to turn Orange Blush into a national brand. She has pretty much achieved it with peace in her heart, believing she is destined to do this and knowing that problems will always be solved, especially for people making solutions.

One of these solutions is her CSR project wherein she partners with TESDA in creating the Orange Institute of Fashion and the Arts. Here, scholars are guided to learning the technicalities of salon work and given certificates of competency that should give them the door key to working for OBS.

Joby stated, "We put up a training school for would-be salon professionals as our way of teaching kids how to fish. When you can deeply relate yourself to a business you want to go into, it gives you a sense of being. Back in the day I wanted to color my hair myself. I probably knew I wanted to be in the beauty care service business ever since I started combing my hair. After a while I decided I couldn't be in a medicine laboratory, I have to be in a salon!"

To be exact a salon that blushes and so orange, like her.

Big Breakthrough in Hair Technology : Discover Argila and Hair Toxx

Tweet

Thinking about making a change on your  hair? Hair makeovers? Trying fresh new styles?  But before anything, we really have to make sure our hair is soft, beautiful and healthy.  

YAMÊ SPELZON, Marketing Manager

Proud Filipino-owned hair salon, Aesthetics & Cosmetics by Escalava, announces the arrival of two of the newest Brazilian Hair Care technologies in the Philippines during the product launch held at Crowne Plaza Galleria attended by salon owners and operators, and hair care experts and professionals. 

The Argila Amazonia and Hair Toxx are guaranteed organic and all-natural and zero formaldehyde.

The Argila Amazonia

The Argila Amazonia is a revolutionary hair-straightening system that provides long-lasting results, making hair smooth and silky soft. Using only all natural, ingredients straight from the Amazon, such as White Clay and Murumuru Oil, Argila Amazonia promises zero damage to your hair.

White Clay, the active ingredient in this groundbreaking system comes from one of the best-preserved ecological sanctuaries in Brazil, the Marajo Island. This island has an extreme climate of high temperatures- high humidity and heavy rainfall – that lead to the formation of White Clay exclusively found on the island. The clay forms through the decomposition of certain types of rocks over a period of thousands of years, they fuse with organic components of the land and turn into White Clay that is rich in minerals and metals such as titanium, magnesium, copper, zinc, aluminum, calcium, lithium, iron and trace elements which are extremely beneficial to human health.

The murumuru grows in the Brazilian state of Para, in the Amazonianregion. 

Oils extracts from Mururmuru seeds offer numerous advantages to our skin and hair. It is a highly effective emollient and moisturizer as it helps hair to recover long-last moisture and regain its natural elasticity. 

The exotic Murumuru Oil is a powerful, nourishing anti-frizz oil that is unique to the Argila line of products. It is proven that it replenishes the natural nutrients as it reinforces the structure of the damaged hair by restoring the natural hydrolipidic layer, thus providing brightness, softness, hydration and protection for long duration.

The Hair.Toxx

Hair.Toxx is a product of perfect combination of natural ingredients and state-of-the-art molecular research to renegerate and protect strong and healthy hair.

The outer layer of the hair is called the cuticle that provides protection through a small layer of natural oil, the sebum. These two act like a shield, protecting the hair’s inner layers, the keratin based cortex and the medula which are responsible for hair’s color, form and texture.

Everyday, our hair is exposed to potential damage. External factors like the sun, salt and other harmful elements in the environment accelarte the natural aging process, leaving hair limp and brittle, dry and dull. The damage becomes serious and worse when these weak hair strands undergo chemical processes such as coloring, bleaching and straightening as these break disulfide sulfur bonds and reduce the levels of keratin and other nutrients in the hair.

Hair.Toxx makes it possible to protect hair while still bleaching, coloring and straightening it all you want. 

Hair.Toxx formula- combination of Acaí, Hyaluronic Acid and a proprietary Lipophilic Complex – creates an effective shield around hair follicles, especially when used as part of a daily care routine, as this shield helps protect daily damage while restoring natural beauty and bounce by creating disulfide sulfur bonds in the hair and buffering existing ones through the action of the Bleaching and Coloring Revitalizing Serum.

Tweet

With more than 20 branches, to conquer the metro carrying with that unique and "probinsiyano brand" that they represent, Orange Blush Salon launches its first Metro Manila flagship salon located in Spark Place Cubao.

 Franchising has been at the forefront of Orange Blush expansion plans.

"We want to broaden our reach to as many markets, not just in the provinces but in the metro as well," she explains.

"We want the people to know that they, too can own a salon," says Joby Linsangan Moreno, president of Orange Blush Salon.

Very soon, two franchise branches will open: one in Sta Cruz Manila and another in Quezon City area. "We are targeting to launch 8 more franchise branches this year," she says.

Orange Blush Salon is a story of success from being a probinsyano (brand) conquering the the big city. 

Joby Linsangan Moreno, president of Orange Blush Salon

"We carry with us that unique and probinsiyano brand that we represent,” she explains.

Orange Blush Salon opened its first branch in Nueva Ecija in 2003. Joby who has always been interested in the beauty business started the first Orange Blush Salon from the remnants of a financially strapped salon about to close shop. "I was then looking for a small place to set up my own beauty business when I saw this small beauty salon about to close." Several years later, Joby has grown her beauty salon business that it now has franchise branches.

"We want to inspire people. We also want to encourage them that they too can open a business of their own."

Orange Blush Salon Opens Branch in Cubao

Tweet

Orange Blush Salon will have its first branch in Metro Manila with the opening of a new salon in Spark Place Cubao in July.

Orange Blush Salon opened its first branch in Nueva Ecija in 2003. 

Joby Linsangan Moreno proprietor Orange Blush Salon

“It was already a small salon by then, owned and operated by a hairstylist and two other junior stylists. It was about to close down due to financial difficulties, and I was at that time, looking for a place already to put up my own small salon since I had always been interested in the beauty business," says Joby Linsangan Moreno, proprietor of Orange Blush Salon.

Joby took pride—and still does—in Orange Blush being a proud and successful probinsyano brand. And she knows deep in her heart, that inevitably, the day would come when she would have to expand the reach of the business outside Nueva Ecija either through franchising or putting up new company-owned branches. 

“The plan was to move to conquer the metro, carrying with us that unique and probinsiyano brand that we represent,” she explains.

Now, they are all set to launch a branch in Spark Place Cubao and even have special promos. These include an opening promo of P20 per haircut if a customer wears orange (this will go on for three days following the opening, she says); anybody who comes in with an Orange Blush salon flyer will get a 25 percent discount in the newly-opened salon; a Loyalty Card that entitles the customer to a free hair treatment on the fourth visit and a free manicure and pedicure on the eighth visit.

“There will also be freebies to be given away during the opening,” says Joby excitedly.

But that’s not all. Joby also shares that the first franchise salon of Orange Blush will open in Bambang, Sta. Cruz, also in July with three more franchises to open soon.

With this move to the big city, Metro Manilans will finally get to experience the kind of impeccable service that Orange Blush has become known for in Central Luzon. 

Joby and her staff are looking forward to welcoming clients and having them try their rebonding services, their manicure and pedicure, hair treatments and hair coloring, and the money-back guarantee.

Orange Blush is one of the very few (if not the only) salon that is so confident about the services it offers that it has a money-back guarantee in case customers are not happy with the service."Sinasabi namin lagi na sa Orange Blush salon, warantisado ang kagandahan. Meron po warranty ang lahat ng customer ng Orange Blush," Joby adds.

Look Stunning this Summer with ‘Sakto Deals’ at Orange Blush Salon

Get shiny,  healthy looking hair and  look stunning this summer, at the Orange Blush Salon.

Orange Blush Salon is one of the fastest growing chain of salons in Luzon provinces. Orange Blush salon first opened in 2003 located in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija. 

The salon easily attracts customers and immediately makes them feel comfortable. The salon is also easily distinguishable by its very colorful and well-lit interiors. 

Orange Blush Salon is continuously taking on greater heights. 2016 is a very exciting and promising year for Orange Blush Salon's expansion plans. 

Orange Blush Salon owner Joby Linsangan-Moreno,  a young entrepreneur, recently held an exclusive meet with media and bloggers announced that they are soon opening branches here in Metro Manila. 

This summer, keep your hair in tip-top shape with special summer ‘Sakto Deals’ at Orange Blush Salon.

Joby Linsangan Moreno

“Just like with any other hair treatments, hair should be treated with extra care this summer due exposure to sun, to chemical-treated water, and salt water,” says Orange Blush owner Joby Linsangan Moreno

According to Joby, once your hair is treated—whether it’s rebonded, highlighted or colored—it should always be treated with conditioning treatments regularly to avoid hair dryness and split ends. One may be advised to have his/her hair rebonded, as long as hair is also treated with hair conditioning treatments like hair spa, hot oil, essential oils on a regular basis.

To make caring for hair easier for clients this summer, Orange Blush is introducing three package deals at special prices.

Sakto Deal 1 (for P999) includes rebond with cellophane, keratin treatment, hair spa and hair shine treatments. 

Sakto Deal 2 (for P1499) includes rebond with permanent color, cellophane, keratin treatment, hair spa and hair shine treatments. 

Sakto Deal 3 (for P2499) includes rebond with Brazilian keratin treatment, cellophane, hair spa and hair shine treatments.

Aside from the above-mentioned packages, Orange Blush Salon is also introducing Cooling Hair Treatments to beat the summer heat, mentholated hot oil and hair spa, mentholated foot scrub and bright, happy colors for nails.

Further, all their services come with a warranty (to ensure that their services were done properly, and to ensure that customers are satisfied with the services), a biscuits buffet and orange juice for total comfort and protection of their clients.

One of the interesting Orange offers in the salon, treatments with the Brazilian Keratin, designed to bring life back to severely damaged hair with keratin as its main ingredient.

According to  Joby, Keratin is the protein component of the hair, and makes it shiny, soft and healthy. When hair is regularly colored and treated, the natural keratin in our hair tends to be lost, and that’s when hair becomes dry, frizzy, damaged and unmanageable. Brazilian Keratin can get it looking normal and healthy again and bring your hair back to what it used to be.

“Brazilian Keratin contains the keratin needed to revive our hair's luster and softness after all the hair chemical processes. This is a revolutionary solution to most of our hair problems,” says Joby .

And more interesting finds, Ms. Joby said that their customers can make a follow-up visit to check on how their services and treatments are holding up. Now that's what quality service is about!

“It is always our priority to deliver salon services with the highest quality yet affordable,” says Joby.

"it’s our way of ensuring that the clients are consistently satisfied with the services we offer." Joby added. 

With the Summer packages, says Joby, you shouldn’t be afraid to have your hair treated, especially rebonded, this summer.

So visit Orange Blush Salon and let the experts show you how to get that stunning summer look now!

Orange Blush Salon holds ‘Orange Day’

Tweet

What’s so special about Wednesday?

It’s a special day every Wednesday at the Orange Blush Salon in Cabanatuan City, as they treat their clients with special promotions and discounts on all of their salon services.

Orange Blush salon owner Joby Linsangan-Moreno says that on Wednesdays, they treat their already important clients “a little more special” by giving discounts on their services. For instance, a haircut costs P80 on regular days, but only P60 on Wednesdays; regular hair rebond is at P1,000, but drops to P800 only on Wednesdays. All other salon services are also discounted.

Joby Linsangan-Moreno

But why Wednesday? What’s so special about Wednesday? Explains Joby:

“It’s the midweek, and we usually have the lowest head count during this day; we wanted to come up with exciting and unique promos that can create a strong customer loyalty base and relationship and at the same time, think of promos that could strengthen our brand. It is always our priority to deliver salon services with the highest quality yet affordable services, that come with warranty.”

But that’s not all. They actually have promos all year round, as their way of reaching out to clients and thanking them for their patronage.

“We usually have monthly promos that are related to special events/holidays during the month or season, from January to December,” says Joby. “Like, for Valentine’s Day, we give out two free movie tickets for couples who avail of P1,000 worth of salon services; recently we gave away five iPad minis to lucky customers who took part in our raffle draw. With a minimum of P250 worth of salon services, one is already entitled to one raffle ticket, and during the Christmas season, we have discounted package services (Hair Rebond with Hair Cellophane and foot spa). And also, just recently, we gave away free colognes (in vials) for every P250 worth, with discount coupons. We also have upcoming promos made especially for students, where they can avail free salon services (for the day) with every P250 worth of salon services availed and upon presentation of their school identification cards.”

These promos are part of Orange Blush salon’s effort to continually upgrade their services. 

“Our aim as a company is to improve continuously; to do better every day, every week, every month, every year,” says Joby. “We strive to know our customers more and establish strong direct relationships with them. The market is ever-changing, and thus challenging; and we are aware that we need to keep up and step up to deliver the best salon services.”

To date, they have upgraded the interiors of all their company-owned branches, with the help of their partners, professional contractors and interior designers. “We want our salons to look very welcoming and attractive, and we also want to make sure that our customers are comfortable whenever they visit our salons. We also strive to offer only the best hair salon services and products, and we update and upgrade our hair salon services procedures and products every now and then to keep up with the customers and the trends in the industry.”

Another innovation that Orange Blush Salon has introduced is what Joby refers to as the Warranty Services. This is like a guarantee that clients will get only the best whenever they patronize the salon.

“We want our clients to know and feel that we do every hair procedure with outmost care and knowledge, and that our service extends beyond our treatments done inside the salon. We are ultimately responsible for our services that we render to our customers. We give out our warranty service slips, and customers are asked to come back to our salon for a free hair check-up, to check and see how our customers are doing and check on their hair/nails as well.”

Joby thinks that it is important for each customer to be treated fairly and with importance, and that every service should always be given with love and sincerity.

 “That is our way of showing them that we care.”

Expert coiffeur and beauty guru Tony Galvez spearheaded the tech-voc advocacy

Tweet

Tony Galvez expert coiffeur and beauty guru, spearheaded the tech-voc advocacy that aims to professionalize the industry by lobbying Technical-Vocational graduates to be transformed into licensed professionals.

Tony Galvez

Tony Galvez expert coiffeur and beauty guru started off his career in the 1970s. He has been in the advancement of technology in a lot of industries, including cosmetics, world-class hair treatments, hair straightening, hair-relaxing, hair rebonding and many more. Tony has mastered the art of hairstyling and still makes waves in his chosen profession to this day.

As seeing it as profession and as opportunity for lifetime entrepreneurship. He establish his own school, The Tony Galvez School of Cosmetology (TGSC), the only cosmetology school in the Philippines that offers cosmetology courses with a curriculum based on international standards and global training structure, that are intensive and rigorous, to hone students to be globally competitive.

The Tony Galvez School of Cosmetology was established in 1989 to provide a quality standard of cosmetology education in the Philippines. Initially, it provided scholarships to underprivileged but deserving and talented students who were serious about becoming true professionals in the field.

The curriculum also includes a ladderized training program by which a system of courses will equip you with the knowledge and skills to help you land a job. Equally important it helps you advance in whatever area of cosmetology you choose to specialize.

TGSC is the ONLY cosmetology school in the Philippines that offers Cosmetology courses with a curriculum based on international standards and global training structure. It trains students intensively and rigorously, thereby producing globally competitive graduates. Here at TGSC, our cosmetology courses comply with International Licensing Requirements.

“We are also the only beauty school in the country to be recognized and accredited by the National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology in the United States. Our hairdressing and cosmetology courses comply with the international licensing requirements,” Galvez said.

With TGSC’s tie-up with the International Cosmetologist Licensing Organization and the National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology, its graduates are acknowledged in 37 US states and countries such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, South Africa, Shanghai, Hong Kong, South Korea, Guam, Canada and Australia.

To say that Galvez is now used to receiving possible local and international citations and accolades for his professionalism is an understatement. But a recent milestone in his colorful career makes him happier and more inspired in his endeavor: He and his nephew Jake Galvez, creative director of TGSC, made it to the 2013 edition of the premier international textbook for cosmetology education.

As president and director of TGSC, Galvez is noted for his pioneering efforts in the beauty industry, for conceptualizing and organizing the international standards of cosmetology in the country.

To keep up with the latest hairstyling and hair treatment trends in the global market, Galvez travels abroad. Whatever valuable innovation he learns from there, he introduces here in the Philippines.

Tony Galvez spearheaded the tech-voc advocacy that aims to professionalize the industry by lobbying Technical-Vocational graduates to be transformed into licensed professionals. His group seeks to influence politicians or public officials on this issue and push forward further discussion so the public may be aware of its importance in uplifting the image of tech-voc education to a higher level through professionalization and licensing.

Philippine Education system has already adopt K12 Curriculum, that with G12 (H.S.), High School students graduated they can seek job easily with the Technical Livelihood Education (TLE) program which is the counterpart of TESDA’s National Certificate II (NC II). Which are deemed not acceptable with the global/International standards. If TESDA is to follow global competitiveness, the branch needs to offer the whole course from National Certificate I (Employment) to National Certificate IV (Service and Entrepreneurship).

TESDA offers NC I (Basic Level) up to NC II (Prerequisite Level) and then issue a certificate to tech-voc graduates. Note that NC III (Advanced Level), NV IV (Mastership, Board Exam) and Diploma are not offered by the government. Still the government even offers FREE training but TESDA and the government do not comply with the objective of the country to become globally competitive.

Tony Galvez and his group’s advocacy will surely benefited the future generation. Tech-voc industry will be replaced by professional qualified hair stylist or nail care expert. They will earn the badge, become entrepreneurs, pay the right taxes and provide employment.

"Tevsaphil-QC aims to raise the level of tech-voc education and the competitiveness of its graduates to be on a par with global and international standards. To do this, the group vows to lobby in the 16th Congress for the passage of a bill, which will be entitled “An Act Regulating the Practice of Technical Vocational Professions in the Philippines, Creating for the Purpose a Regulatory Board for Technical Vocational Professions.” The bill will push for the licensing of courses such as cosmetology, emergency medical services, plumbing, carpentry and housekeeping." 

“Our government can look into the idea of licensing vocational graduates. To license the application of vocational courses will convert vocational graduates to professions of dignity and public recognition,” said Tony Galvez, president of Tevsaphil-QC and the Tony Galvez Group of Companies.
