Maintaining a 3-month hair care routine is a commitment, and recently, my search for the perfect salon led me to a hidden gem: Bench Fix Lab at TriNoma. If you’re looking for a sign to treat your tresses, this might be it. Here’s a breakdown of my experience, the cost, and the long-term results of my wolf cut and scalp treatment.
Finding the Spot: Bench Fix Lab TriNoma
While many people head to the main mall area, Bench Fix Lab is actually located on the outer wing of TriNoma, facing Mindanao Avenue.
I’ve been spending a lot of time around Libis and North Avenue in Quezon City lately—including a fun group session at Sip & Gogh Eastwood recently. Being out and about for content made me realize how dull my hair looked in photos! I originally tried to hit up Vertis North for a fix, but ended up at Bench Fix Lab TriNoma instead.
If you’re coming from Vertis North and find that Azta is fully booked (like I did!), just cross over to TriNoma. Going on a weekday at noon is the ultimate “hack”—the salon was quiet, peaceful, and I didn’t have to deal with the usual weekend crowd.
The Problem: Post-Color Dullness & Scalp Itch
Three months after a DIY-style color job at a local parlor, my hair had lost its luster. It felt dry and my scalp was becoming itchy and flaky. I also needed a style refresh—transitioning my grown-out butterfly cut into a trendy wolf cut.
The Solution: Fusio Scrub Scalp Ritual
The senior stylist recommended the Fusio Scrub Scalp Ritual. Here’s why it’s a must-try:
- Deep Exfoliation: It removes dead skin cells and product buildup.
- Healthier Growth: A clean scalp means hair grows back stronger and shinier.
- Instant Relief: It immediately cools and calms an itchy scalp.

The Process (Duration: 2 Hours)
The entire session was efficient yet relaxing:
- Preparation: Initial shampoo and the base wolf cut.
- Scalp Treatment: Application of the Fusio Scrub followed by a “soaking” period.
- Nourishment: A secondary treatment mask was applied for extra moisture.
- Styling: Final trim and a professional blow-dry.
Price List & Verdict
For the haircut and the Kérastase Scalp Ritual, I paid a total of ₱3,000. Considering the results and the premium products used, it was worth every centavo.

The Results
It has been three months since my visit, and my hair is still incredibly shiny. The wolf cut held its shape beautifully, and the dandruff issues haven’t returned.
