Did you know that over 70% of salon-goers in Davao City report spending more on hair services now than they did just 2 years ago, and that premium salons in SM City Davao and Abreeza see up to 150-200 clients a day during peak weekend hours?
With more people investing in their glow-ups, Davao’s salon scene has grown fast—offering options for anyone from the budget-minded student to the luxury enthusiast.
If you’re ready to refresh your look, here are some of the best salons around Davao City to consider.
1. Piandré Salon
A standout in the list, Piandré has been “making more people beautiful” since 1987, and now has multiple salon Davao City branches including Abreeza Mall, SM City Davao (Ecoland), and SM Lanang.
- The Abreeza Mall branch is in J.P. Laurel Ave, Bajada, beside Bread Talk, with hours Mon-Sat 8:00 AM-9:00 PM, Sundays 10:00 AM-9:00 PM.
- The SM City Davao branch (Ecoland) offers extended hours—10:00 AM-9:00 PM on weekdays, stretching to 10:00 PM on Fri & Sat.
- SM Lanang also has a Piandré location for more convenience depending on which part of the city you’re in
What makes Piandré shine is that you get a premium experience—luxury ambiance, well-trained stylists (some trained in Manila or even overseas), use of quality products, and private or family rooms in certain branches. Prices are premium too, but many clients say they’re worth it for the consistency and service.
2. Luxuria Salon & Spa
Luxuria offers a complete salon + spa experience. Think haircuts, color, treatments, plus massages and skin pampering. Ideal for those who want to make their salon visit an all-day treat. It tends to lean towards the higher end, especially with specialty color or styling treatments, but the atmosphere and service make up for the cost.
3. Classique Salon
Located in central Davao malls, Classique is a good mid- to premium-budget vibe. They offer designer cuts, trend styling, and decent color work. Not as high-end as the top luxury spots, but with better quality than basic salons. Great if you want style without breaking the bank.
4. Hair Loft by Elle
For brighter color work, bold highlights, balayage, or creative cuts, Hair Loft by Elle is one of the names you’ll hear around Davao. Their stylists often keep up with the latest color and cut trends. If your glow-up includes something dramatic (new color, edgy fringe, etc.), this is a place to check.
5. Affordable Gems
Don’t think you need to spend a fortune to look good. Davao has several salons offering reliable basic cuts, blow-dries, simple color, and treatment services at more affordable rates. These salons are often located in neighborhood malls or commercial strips—but many have stylist portfolios and good reviews, so you can see what you’re getting.
Tips to Make the Most of Your Davao Salon Visit
- Book ahead, especially for premium salons—weekends fill up fast.
- Check portfolios: Instagram or Facebook pages can show you what recent clients look like.
- Ask about product brands and treatment ingredients, especially if you have sensitive scalp or hair concerns.
- Go for the experience you want: sometimes spending more gives ambience and pampering; other times what matters is the cut or color, not the chair you sit in.
Davao City has come a long way in the salon scene. With strong names like Piandrésetting high standards, plus many local salons offering excellent service across budgets, you really can glow and go—getting a look you love without compromising what matters most to you.
