Vina Morales first captured
hearts with her unique voice as
a Viva Records young singer
named Sharon Magdayao. Later,
she showed her dancing prowess,
carving a niche as a powerhouse
performer on stage. Now, she is
recognized as a competent dra-
ma actress, starting as a leading
lady of action stars to currently
being the object of ire of viewers
in “Araw Gabi.”
Vina continues to evolve, nev-
er content in honing just one tal-
ent. In fact, the 42-year-old mom
of her “mini me” Ceana is not just
active before the screen because
she also is involved in the fam-
ily business, co-owning with her
three sisters Sheila, Sheryll and
Shaina the Ystilo chain of salons
in the country.
Ystilo, Vina proudly says,
started back in August 8, 1999,
and continues to grow as it marks
its 20th year. At present, it has
more than 20 branches: Mall of
Asia; Shoppesville in Greenhills;
SM City San Lazaro; Festival
Mall; Nepo Mall Dagupan City;
Tanauan City, Batangas; SM City
Tarlac; SM City Calamba; Rob-
insons Place; Lipa City; Abreeza
Mall Davao; Iba, Zambales; Ange-
les Pampanga; SM City Sta. Rosa;
Limketkai in Cagayan de Oro City;
One Magnolia Place in Balanga,
Bataan; SM City Gen San; Walter-
mart in San Fernando, Pampan-
ga; Citymall in Koronadal; One
Legazpi Place in Tuguegarao; Is-
land Citymall in Bohol; Manaoag
Pangasinan; and soon –Sta. Lucia
in Cainta and Marquee Mall.
“We are offering several big
promos – as much as 50% off on
services – in celebration of our
20th year,” Vina shares.
“That is not all, because I will
also personally meet clients in the
Ystilo Salon outlets nationwide,”
she adds. “Pag M-W-F taping ko
(‘Araw Gabi’), tapos ‘yung T-TH-S
nag-iikot.”
The sisters share in the re-
sponsibilities – Vina handles the
marketing, Sheila and Sheryll
manages the operations, and
Shaina is a franchisee. Vina also
reveals that her 30-year experi-
ence in front of the spotlight has
also made her quite a beauty ex-
pert. Sometimes, some custom-
ers even request for the singer-
actress to fix their hair and face.
So now she is not just singer, ac-
tress, businesswoman, but also a
makeup artist and hairdresser?
“Yes, marunong talaga ako,”
she admits, “Ako I do my own
make-up, minsan kung nandito
ako (salon) tapos may client kami,
nire-retouch ko. Natutuwa naman
sila. Pero gumagawa talaga ako.
I do my own hair, I do my own
make-up, marunong din akong
maggupit. Hindi ako nag-aral,
I think natutunan ko na. Si Ate
Sheila ang marunong talaga.” ●
