R’Bonney Gabriel became a hairstylist for a day and gamely opened up her own salon for friends. As seen in the Miss Universe 2022 queen’s TikTok video, she first dyed the hair of her friend, Carla, who was hilariously worried about the outcome. “Huy, you don’t do that to the customer,” she told R’Bonney.
“Paluin kita sa pwet.” R’Bonney would also tell passersby, “Hello, would you like to have your hair colored? We actually have some appointments available today po.” She also colored the hair of a friend named Pau Pau.
When it was time to rinse their hair, R’Bonney used a tabo and batsa. R’Bonney arrived in the Philippines in April and has been getting in touch with her Filipino rootsamid modeling and hosting gigs, guestings, and other work engagements. Recently, she went shopping in Cartimar , been spending time in her “favorite place” or her dad’s childhood home in Malate, Manila , and skipping traffic onboard a motorcycle service .
The first Filipino-American Miss Universe is also a sustainable fashion designer , and launched her latest collection at Bench Fashion Week in August. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News.
