As a startup, our schedules are chock full of meetings, write-ups, and brainstorming. A lot of our work involves staying on top of trends. One thing we quickly noticed was the rise of aesthetic centers in Iloilo City. And if there’s anything that we know about our kasimanwas, it’s this: Ilonggos work hard, play hard, and love hard. So we weren’t surprised that we took ‘self-care’ to a luxurious level.

When we came across Bashara Aesthetica, the team agreed that it was time to give ourselves a much-needed TLC. After all, we want to always look our best for all our client meetings.

So how did we like their professional aesthetic services?

The Authentic Bashara Pamper Day Experience

Our journey to the best Pamper Day begins at the Bashara Facebook page. They’ve laid out all the information you’d need at a glance. Their Pinned Post contains services, rates, and current promotions. You can find their location and other social media links on the About tab.

We highly suggest BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT. Although they accept walk-ins, they will give priority to those with appointments. To do this, go to their official Facebook page@basharaaestheticailo and click the Book Now button. You can also check out the Services tab and book from there. Not sure which package to pick? Don’t hesitate to send them a message.

Located at Commission Civil Jaro, Iloilo City, Bashara Aesthetica is close to some offices and residential areas, so it’s convenient if you live nearby. Location-wise though, it might not be the most accessible place because the entrance is somewhat hidden (there’s signage, just go to the back of the building and climb the short steps). But the aesthetic center itself is clean and homey. The SIS team immediately felt at ease and comfortable!

First-timers need not worry - the Bashara staff are super friendly and accommodating. The owner, Pearl Joy Ceralbo, was very obliging and answered all our questions. They gave us complimentary snacks and drinks while we waited. We were also informed about what to expect in each procedure. This helped us relax and feel excited about the outcome. For such a warm and informative welcome, we give them five stars!

Here’s a complete list of the services we tried:

• Underarm Laser Hair Removal

• CC Glow Facial

• Brow Lamination

• Classic Lash Extensions

• Lash Extensions

• Regular Pedicure

• Gel Manicure

• Lash Lift

• Foot Spa

Underarm Laser Hair Removal

This state-of-the-art procedure involves laser pulses that go deep in the skin to destroy hair follicles. It’s recommended for people who a) don’t like frequent shaving, plucking, or waxing, and/or b) for those who want finer hair that would eventually become barely visible. We were satisfied on our first attempt and noticed our underarm felt smoother.

CC Glow Facial

This is an anti-aging treatment that uses concentrated natural extracts to revitalize the skin, reduce pigmentation, improve fine lines, and give you an overall glow. We found this experience relaxing and we saw immediate results on our skin!

Brow Lamination

Think of it like a perm but for your eyebrows. This service can be paired with brow tint application for a bolder look. For this, the staff will ask you if you want your brows shaped or not.

Classic Lash Extensions

We were surprised at how this cosmetic process changed our ‘aura’! We highly recommend it for individuals who like applying mascara for their everyday makeup routine. The staff asked us how long we wanted our lashes to be, so having options was awesome. It felt itchy at first, but only because we weren’t used to it. 

Lash Lift

It’s amazing what fuller, thicker lashes can do to instantly highlight our eyes. And this is exactly what this all-natural, semi-permanent procedure does – without harmful chemicals or extensions. 

Gel Manicure

Gel polish is a popular choice nowadays because it’s more durable and looks elegant. Bashara uses UV and LED nail lamps to quickly dry your polish so you don’t have to worry about messing up your new nails. Their staff will help you pick colors that should suit your tastes and lifestyle.

Regular Pedicure

Our feet need some love, too. Complete your self-care with clean, beautiful toenails! This service may also come in handy for those who are about to attend special events or occasions.

Foot Spa

No more tired, aching feet for us. Girls (and guys) will love this treatment that includes exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. Your feet will feel soft, smooth, and clean!

The Verdict

Bashara Aesthetica exceeded our expectations! From the minute you arrive for your appointment up to the procedure, you will feel accommodated, safe, and in good hands. Props to Miss Ceralbo and her skilled staff for making the SIS team feel pampered and glowing. Now we’re more confident to face our busy days, whether it’s in the office or at a client luncheon.

We’re pumped to be #basharafied! Now it’s YOUR turn. BOOK AN APPOINTMENT to experience luxurious pampering at affordable rates.
