Fanny Serano’s Oasis
It could have been the biggest slump in Fanny’s beauty and fashion career. After years of attending to clients in his home salon on Annapolis Street in Greenhills, he was being “evicted” from the village. He explains: “Ang istorya nito, the homeowners association, para bang ayaw nila ako dun at maging business place ang lugar na yun.”

So Fanny’s exodus began. All he knew was that he wanted to be in the Quezon City area. But after a month of fruitless searching, he was ready to give up. And then he found it: an old forsaken house vintage ’60s that had been reduced into a warehouse of construction materials. Fanny recalls: “Pagpasok na pagpasok ko pa lang na-visualize ko na agad ang parlor!”
Three months later, the salon emerged, proving that Fanny had a fantastic eye.
Behold Fanny’s salon! Unlike other black-and-steel urban parlors, this one emerges from the cityscape like a shangri-la of sunshiny colors, fine woods, and warm welcomes.
“It is a dream come true sa akin kasi ayoko ng parlor na establishment ang dating,” he gushes. “Gusto ko parang it’s a house kaya nga dito rin ako nakatira. At hindi lang friends from showbiz ang welcome, friends from all walks of life, kahit na hindi ako kilala. Ayokong intimidated sa akin ang tao. Tipong, ako, nung tinayo ko ’to ang mas feel ko, yun bang, bahay mo ’to—hello, huwag kang mahihiya.”
