Manila

Eight years.
Same chair.
Same clients.

Babyjane Ayala has been doing hair in Manila since it was still a room in her house. Nobody stayed because she was cheap. They stayed because she tells them the truth.

The promise

Come in tired. Leave like yourself.


No trend talk. No upsell you did not ask for. One honest look at your hair and a straight answer about what it can take. That is the whole job. The rest is technique.

Signature RebondStraight for months, with a free detox treatment a week after.
Hair BotoxFor hair that has been through too much.
Bespoke ColourRoots, full colour, or the shade you keep screenshotting.
Keratin BlowoutFrizz gone. The one people book before a wedding.
Detox TreatmentThe cheapest thing here, and often the only thing you need.
Home ServiceShe packs the kit and comes to you.

The founder

Hi, I'm Babyjane.


For years the shop was one room in the house. Neighbours came for a trim, then for colour, then for the thing they were too scared to try anywhere else. Nobody called it a brand. They called it going to Ate Jane.

She learned early that honesty is faster than a sales pitch. If your hair cannot take a rebond this month, she says so and loses the booking. That one habit is why the same women keep coming back, through a change of name, a change of address, and a change in almost everything else.

Founded by a mother turning passion into purpose.

The perfume began as a thought between clients. Everyone left her chair smelling like the salon. She wanted them to leave smelling like themselves, and she wanted it to feel like something worth keeping. So she made it.
