Jude Gabato Salon Opens its 3rd Branch and its 1st Franchise at Colon (Updated)

Also in 2017, Jude Gabato, the brain behind the brand, shared his personal journey of climbing the ladder of success, step by step, steadily. His story remains one of the most heartwarming success stories in Cebu’s beauty industry.

Here are some photos of his lovely and satisfied clients: (photos lifted from Jude Gabato Salon's official Facebook account)
I also brought my mom to the salon for mother's day to pamper her and she was indeed #judiefied

My sister and I both opted for a manicure-pedicure service. My sister felt great because the person who did her nails was very accommodating. For me, though, the woman was extremely rude. She came over with a blank, almost angry face and asked, "What do you want?" I didn’t mind at first, thinking maybe she was having a bad day.

However, she did my nails with a heavy hand, which made me very uncomfortable. I tried talking to my sister about a show playing on the salon TV, and we laughed at a funny news feature. But then she snapped, "Shut up. Stop moving." I didn’t realize customers were expected to be completely silent, as if in a library! At that point, neither my sister nor I wanted to stay. We were both intimidated. My sister, who also wanted her hair done, decided not to get any hair service.

I ended up with wounds on my nails, but that wasn’t the worst part—the rudeness of the staff was.

Jude Gabato actually reached out to me about the incident and apologized, which I appreciate. Everything’s cool now. Would I still recommend Jude Gabato Salon? Yes, but specifically for the Colon Branch, I think they need to improve their customer service. Based on my experience as a paying customer, the poor service my sister and I received from one staff member left a bad impression.

I won’t be going back to the Colon Branch, but I wouldn’t discourage others from trying it. My recommendation: Stay away from the staff member named Daisy, who did my manicure-pedicure service. I just hope the salon addressed the incident appropriately.
