00:00I'm actually one of the owners and I created the hairstyle of the salon as well.
00:08Together with MJ and Charlie, we are opening the Otavi Studio of Hair and Nails.
00:14So you're going to show Pep around?
00:16Yes, let's do it. Come with me Pep.
00:19So this is our entrance, the reception area.
00:23You can see we have our logo and our display for home care.
00:28With this corner, we're going to have a little bit of our bar area.
00:32That's where we're going to start serving cocktail, not cocktail, like champagne,
00:37wine, hot tea, iced tea, and coffee for our clients.
00:43So coming up here, we're going to have our waiting area.
00:50So this is the waiting area before the clients proceed to the main chairs.
00:55We have a TV showing all.
00:57We're going to slide before and after some hair ideas,
01:03so the client can see them and start choosing from them.
01:07So I'm walking here inside.
01:09We do have our hair session.
01:12It's a division of the men's area and the women's area on the other side.
01:20Once for the men's, we're a bit more comfortable,
01:24and the women's also we have more service.
01:26So all the equipment is going to be easier to get it.
01:29But also we want everyone together because we don't want exclusive things.
01:35We are walking from there.
01:41So now we have the nail bar.
01:44That is our sacred place.
01:46So there's a specific room for nail services.
01:50Why is that?
01:52So because we are going to do different vibes in our salon.
01:56One is for this hair, so we don't smoke.
02:00You don't inhale the smoke of the products and the chemical
02:04while you're having relaxation, nails, and foot spa.
02:08So you can hear.
02:10Also, we have like this separate side for the nails extensions and nail service.
02:17And for this side, we have the pedicure and foot spa.
02:23All right.
02:24So we are doing the VIP room, which I'm going to bring you guys here.
02:30Okay.
02:31So we're going to have like this private place that people can just enjoy
02:38and even work in here without like the outside world.
02:42And because I work with a lot of celebrities, a lot of politician people,
02:49so we don't want, sometimes they don't want to be exposed
02:52or they have so much like private conversation going on.
02:56So we decided to create this VIP room, not to separate from the other people,
03:00not to separate levels or anything.
03:04It's more to respect the timing and the client itself.
03:09For sure.
03:17We have a lot of influencers as well.
03:20What else we do?
03:26Oh, that is an interesting question.
03:29So I do believe all the business and all the salons, we can offer different things.
03:36What could I say about me is that I've been around a lot abroad and here in Philippines.
03:45So, and then I have a different techniques to show to people.
03:49Of course, I have learned, I have learning already to do Asian people,
03:53but also I can do foreigners, Caucasians, all the types of hair, definitely.
03:59I'm prepared and my knowledge about hair is not just hands on, but here.
04:05So definitely I can show more and more along the years.
