JUST like me, a lot of you may have little time as well to have some pampering sessions at the spa. There could be times, too, when you can hardly squeeze in shopping in your busy schedule.
I have found a solution to this problem. I came across Alpha Drip Bar in Barrio Obrero. It provides several beauty services as well as a number of products that can help you maintain your being stylish.
Business partners Florame Espada and Gianelle Franceska Sy Lina shared how they conceptualized their beauty hub.
Lin narrated that she was looking for a place where she could display her RTW (ready-to-wear) items. She found the 25-square-meter space that was reasonably priced for its size and location.
However, she realized that RTW shops outside the mall/shopping district, or even those beside a main road, would be hard to market. Thus, she thought of adding beauty services to attract more customers.
She then introduced glutathione drips and pushes coupled with pampering services such as manicure, pedicure, foot spa, eyelash extension, waxing and the like. Upon learning that Espada’s K-beauty Secrets is into microblading and lashlifting services, she decided to partner with her.
Amid the wide competition in the said industry, both Lina and Espada are optimistic about constantly cornering their own niche. With the 1.2 million people in Davao City, they noted that there is still enough space for everybody. However, they pointed out that being competitive in a lot of ways can do wonder.
According to them, their competitive advantage lies not only on the quality of products and services they offer but also their willingness to expand their existing product and service lines. Both of them emphasized that despite the quality they can give their customers, they have remained affordable.
“As we say at the spa, beauty without breaking the bank!” they said.
I just had my keratin lashlift with semi-permanent maskara with them last week for only P1,500 since they have an ongoing promo. It is pretty affordable considering that they are using top-of-the-line materials. This makes me optimistic that my lashes would stay gorgeous for at least a month.
Aside from gluta drip and push, lashlift and microblading, Alpha Drip Bar also offers waxing, manicure and pedicure (you may opt for the gel polish for better quality), foot spa, foot massage, paraffin and eyelash extension. You may enjoy your desired package, too, for a more affordable rate.
Meanwhile, if you want to have some drinks while pampering yourself, they can likewise serve you with a cup/mug of coffee (in different flavors), mocha, matcha and white coffee milk tea for less than P100.
By the way, I was able to buy clay blush from them as well before finally heading home after my lashlift sesh.
For bookings and inquiries, you may message them via FB messenger or SMS them at 09175891442.
Alpha Drip Bar is located at Door 2, One Palma Gil Building, 55 Palma Gil Street, Barrio Obrero, Davao City. You may visit them between 1 and 9 p.m. daily.
