DIGI-PERM HATS OFF - GOODBYE SIMON KIM

Me and my friends were scouting for a trusted digiperm salon within Makati. Since my first digiperm saga was splendid, I told them candidly that we should go to Simon Kim. Though he has some tough-love touch (aka mabigat ang kamay), me and my friend's first digiperm experience was by far good and affordable. We have been hearing rumors that their salon in Makati has been closed.

Yet, it was only now that I verified that yes, the Salon in Makati has been closed since September and to my surprise, Simon Kim was dead. 

Flashback March 2011, I recall some nice things that transpired during our first and last meeting. When doing my hair he shared that he has been losing weight (thanks to the gym and some tea), he told me that he has been having heart problems but on his way to recovery.
Then one of his assistants jokingly teased him "eh Sir, ang lakas mo nga manigarilyo eh" [you're smoking a lot]. He just shrugged it off and told me how he want to lose a few more weight.

He also shared to me that though living in Manila for quite some time, but he can't speak a straight Tagalog. That he also has 2 daughters and he's kinda protective of them. When we are done, he picked his camera and asked that we take pictures together. He does that to all of his clients. Some kind of badge for him.         
Thank you Mr. Simon Kim! You will be missed by so many bellas out there.

      I've had the best digiperm from him twice. This is so sad =( I was searching the net for his number and I found out he already passed away. I remember going there the first time with my hubby and my son, he is so sweet giving my son chocolates and banana and play with his cute daughter. God Bless Him, I know he's a good person. -Cindy

    He's so nice spilling about personal stuffs to his clients, there are too few of 'em. :(

    Your first digiperm looks scary Miss K. :/
