In their efforts to cater to the growing needs and introduce new services for men in the city, barber shops in Metro Manila have started upping their game by adding a bit of panache to the otherwise twice-a-month routine. One of the first establishments that started the revolution of providing premium lifestyle services for the modern Filipino gentlemen is none other than the ‘barberdashery’ Felipe and Sons.

Relax or have a drink at their lounge while waiting for your turn.

A play on the words ‘barber’ and ‘haberdashery,’ Felipe and Sons is one of the first who have established themselves as the top-of-mind provider of premium services for men: from sculpting dapper haircuts to crafting custom premium suits.

Reviving Manila's swaggers, one dapper at a time.

They have also partnered with different local brands that offer other gentlemen’s essential products such as bespoke shoes, hair essentials, socks, and more.

We had the chance to experience one of their preferred grooming packages, the Afternoon Delight. This came with a custom haircut, rinse and shampoo, and a half-hour half body massage – the perfect way to spend, well, an afternoon.

The Afternoon Delight was a real treat, especially after a long day of work.

Resident barber, Rey has delivered the best cuts Felipe and Sons are known for. They even do hair art, just ask your barber.

The half-hour body massage was a bliss.

As Rey, one of their resident barbers, obliged us with his skill with the scissors and razors, we had a complimentary drink of our choice to make our visit even more perfect! All for Php 750.00! Click here to see the other services and packages they offer.

As it is also part-clothing store, Felipe and Sons takes pride in providing quality and highly specialized custom-fit shirt, pants, and suits for the dapper men of Manila. Their wide variety of choices of fabrics and cuffs, and their consideration for your preferred cut and style create the perfect suit of your dreams.

Every man's closet deserves to have a complete set for your fancy soirees and special date nights.

The price of custom basic shirt starts at Php 2,750.00 and a custom basic 3-piece suit (a coat, vest, and pair of pants) would cost Php 20,900.00.

Choose from their wide variety of fabric and accessories that go with your get-up.
