David Salon

Davids Salons is one of the most successful international salon in the Philippines. It was established by
David Charlton of Davids Salons Inc.

Mission
David's Salons provides a wide range of services including haircutting and styling, hair coloring,
texturizing, and variety of hair treatments.

David Charlton
David Charlton is the owner of Davids Salons. David Charlton started
hair-dressing in the UK at the age of 16. While working in his Uncle
Jeffrey's salon.
History
David attended Durham Technical College for three years and passed
with Distinction the City and Guilds of London Institute Examination in
Men's and Ladies Hairdressing. He then went on to South Shields
Technical College where he passed with Distinction the Advanced City
and Guilds of London Institute Examination in Men's and Ladies
Hairdressing, after which time he went back to actually teach within the
Hairdressing Department.
After attending seminars and workshops in London, David in turn
conducted many workshops for the North East Hairdressers Federation.
In 1978, he came to Manila to manage the Rever Salon in the Mandarin
Oriental Hotel. Over the years David became first a partner and then
sole owner, which was when he expanded the Rever Salons to five
locations.
Philippines expansion
By 1989 David realized there was a void in the Philippine market for a
salon that would provide high quality hairdressing at very reasonable
prices. He opened the first of David's Salons in New Farmers Market,
Araneta Center, Quezon City.
Within the next 4-5 years, David went into partnership with business
acquaintances and opened another 13 David's Salons. Again he took a
good look at the industry and saw that there was a nationwide demand
for his salons which prompted him to make David Salon partnerships
available to the public.


Davids Salon cares about the overall well-being of women. Our
sponsorship of Team David is our way of promoting a healthy, sporty lifestyle
among women. I myself am a triathlete, Charlton divulges. I strongly
advocate sports for women as an exciting and invigorating lifestyle that
combines living strong and living beautiful, the beauty expert encourages.

THE DAVIDS SALON GROUP :
A Lifestyle of Beauty, Style, Fitness and Wellbeing
More than two decades after pioneering salon partnerships in the country, the Davids Salon Group has become an institution in the local hairdressing
industry. It has expanded from being the salon of choice for people who want A plus service at C plus prices, into an organization dedicated to bringing out
the beauty and well being of its clients.
Salons. With branches located in cities all over the country, Davids is one of the leading chain of salons in the country. It continues to maintain an edge
over the competition by combining technical know-how with creativity, professionalism and sincere concern for its clients. Davids sends its top hairstylists to
training courses abroad to keep abreast with the latest trends in beauty and hairstyles.
Fitness Center. Not content with this leadership, founder and beauty expert David Charlton continued with the mission of the Davids Salon Group to bring
out the beauty and well being of its treasured patrons with the establishment of the Davids Fitness Center in Robinsons Galleria. The Fitness Center in
Robinsons Galleria turns ten this year. The center is equipped with the latest and most complete array of body building facilities and services including a
pool, Jacuzzi and sauna for Galleria. Membership rates are very reasonable and competitive, all the better to provide the best service for its clients.
Davids Skin N Face Spa. Believing that true beauty only comes with inner peace and serenity, David is building a network of spas amidst the hustle and
bustle of malls in the metropolis. Havens of soothing calmness and quiet, the spas are perfect for pampering and relaxation after a week of being cooped up
at home or at work. The spas are equipped with top of the line spa equipment like the dermalife and vichy shower in The Podium in Pasig. Competent, well
trained physical therapists and facial technicians provide only the most excellent spa services to bring about healthy skin and relaxed muscles. Skin N Face
Spas are present in SM Megamall, Fairview and Bicutan and has recently been opened in SM Baguio. Filinvest Mall also boasts of a Davids Skin N Face
Spa.
Training Center. The generosity of spirit and the willingness to share that characterized Davids Salon Groups phenomenal growth does not stop
there. David Charlton has opened to the public the doors of its prestigious hairstyle and makeup training center in its Makati headquarters. The Training
Center is now accepting outside enrollees who would like to learn the techniques of good hairstyling and make-up. Professionals and those who are simply
interested for personal reasons are most welcome.
Giving Back: The Davids Salon Group does not rest on its success. One reason for its continued growth is the companys desire to give back to the
community the lifestyle of beauty, style, fitness and well being it showers on its customers. A recent move is the sponsorship of the countrys first all-women
multi-sport team. Team Davids Salon is composed of members of the countrys National Cycling, Triathlon, and Duathlon teams, a homemaker/caterer and
a public servant. The feisty ladies are out to prove to the world that women have equal rights to be on the road with the supposedly stronger sex. They are
empowered women: healthy, fit and strong. Beautiful, inside and out.
There are seven members in the team, each with unique capabilities and strengths. Most members of the team have won medals in both local and
international competitions where some even represented and brought honors to the country. Some will once again be representing the country in the
SouthEast Asian Games this year. It is a mixed group of determined young women who are professionals and/or homemakers coming from different walks of
life. They are united by our passion for sports, particularly cycling and triathlon.
Davids Salon has also very recently joined forces with Lipa City Mayor Vilma Santos Recto to support the Gunting at Suklay Tungo sa Hanapbuhay
Part II project of the Love-Lipa Foundation, Inc. The Foundation is an organization of women in Lipa City helping indigent Lipenos, with Mayor Vilma Santos
Recto as Honorary Chairperson. A team of Davids top hairstylists visited Lipa to personally conduct a hairstyling training session for women from the citys
different barangays so they can begin earning a livelihood for their families.
From national beauty competitions such as Binibining Pilipinas where Davids Salon has long been the sponsoring beauty stylist to partnerships with top
beauty products manufacturers, Davids creativity and vision will continue to provide the answers towards a lifestyle of beauty, style, fitness and wellbeing.
