Since the early 70’s, the name of Oscar Peralta has become synonymous with chic hairstyles and a fabulous make-over. Cebu’s social circles – young and old alike – congregated to wherever beauty shop he was at. His signature style is swift – hair and make up in 30 minutes flat! – but surprisingly creative and always flattering to the client. And so, Cebu’s crème de le crème over the years has been seeking an appointment with Oscar for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, debutante’s balls, as well as for all special occasions needing equally special transformations.
Since he opened his own place – simply called Oscar’s Hair & Make Up – along Jasmin Street, in front of Dynasty Hotel, his loyal clients have followed him there. There is no substitute to customer satisfaction, every time. However, this person’s overflowing creativity did not confine him to the personal beauty department. In the last few years, Oscar has been designing Christmas decorations for homes and offices. His creations are usually customized and customers scoop up in no time the pieces that he managed to make offhand.
His Christmas décor clients are now all over Visayas and Mindanao – families of government officials whose homes are extensions of their offices, discriminating businessmen who want to make a statement in their offices and/or establishments, busy housewives, working women – people who believe in Oscar’s capabilities. He even offers loyal patrons re-use of the decors by redesigning them after several years.
Oscar Peralta – designer and friend. That name has now become synonymous with Christmas Wonderland.
