Maganda was founded with the belief that hair salons should provide a safe, inclusive and supportive space for people to unwind and declutter their mind - guests should leave feeling mentally rested and confident, inside and out. We are not here to judge, but here to connect. Maganda’s core value is openness.

Hey there, I'm Jomelyn but you can call me “Autumn” in the music scene. I absolutely love singing and writing songs. I have a bit of a quirky obsession with fruits and vegetables. Seriously, I can't go a day without them. And when it comes to drinks, I'm a water enthusiast – warm, hot, cold, sparkling, still, you name it, I'm all for it. Looking ahead, I've got this dream of having my very own vegetable farm. The idea of growing fresh produce just gets me excited! Family is everything to me. I'm extremely close to them, and we share a bond that can't be broken. Birthdays are my absolute favourite, a time for celebration, love, and creating beautiful memories. Oh, and here's a fun fact about me: I'm a Rubik's cube master. If you ever need help solving that colourful puzzle, I'm your go-to person.
Hi there! My name is Andres, and I live a life filled with exciting adventures and diverse interests. I have a deep affection for animals, especially my loyal companion Gym. On laid-back weekends, I indulge on TV series, watching films, playing video games and shopping. I have a passion for fashion, bags and looking my best. I believe that clothing is a form of self-expression and take joy in curating unique and stylish outfits. As a landscape architect, I find solace in the presence of flowers and their ability to create breathtaking landscapes. I have a weakness for sweets. Indulging in delectable treats brings me pure bliss. And finally, I'm a travel enthusiast who embraces exploring new cultures and creating lasting memories.
Hello, I'm Red Gaetano . I have a deep passion for poetry, finding beauty in crafting words and emotions. My love for the sea was born on the shores of Puglia, Italy, where I grew up. It's a constant source of inspiration in my life. Aspiring to be an art director, I enjoy infusing creativity into the world of fashion. Mixing and matching styles allows me to express myself uniquely. I thrive in the company of creative individuals and enjoy brainstorming and collaborating with like-minded souls. I'm also eager to learn Chinese, and I'm a qualified chef. My culinary adventures are as exciting as my creative pursuits. While I appreciate the arts, I'm competitive, especially when it comes to football and boxing. The thrill of competition keeps me engaged. Constantly on a journey of self-improvement, I focus on nurturing my mind, body, and soul. There's always room for growth and exploration.
Mindfulness
Practicing mindfulness improves mental health. We can practice being mindful every day by observing our thoughts and surroundings, actively listening to others and reacting to all situations with kindness.
Maganda is a safe space to talk about mental health. We believe talking about metal health can break down stereotypes, promote relationships, benefit recovery and help remove the stigma that surrounds something that effects us all.
