How Janice de Belen helped Bambbi Fuentes become a movie producer

They say it's in salons that women get their gossip. True as that may be – though there's no confirmation here – I'd much rather, from experience, say that it's in salons that women find the truest friendships.

Top hair and makeup artist Bambbi Fuentes' famed salon at the corner of Timog and Kamuning avenues in Quezon City is one such place where strong friendships have been forged through the years. Bambbi and I became friends after so many hair and makeup visits, ergo so many conversations, way back in the '90s, and since then, we've worked together (Bambbi used to write a beauty column for Lifestyle until he got too busy), partied together and even received awards together.
