Techno Holdings Corp. (THC) is set to launch its first THC Health and Beauty Hub (THBH), a 455-square meter multi-brand flagship space, at Shangri-La Plaza Mall in December.
THC, which has ten subsidiaries operating across six business sectors, is expanding its reach and footprint into health, beauty and wellness. It was founded by William Stelton, who is also the chairman and chief executive of The Bistro Group.
The THC hub consolidates leading Japanese wellness and beauty brands to offer comprehensive self-care services and products, including retail, advanced treatments and cutting-edge technology.
The THBH lineup features Phiten Retail, offering health and body care products utilizing Aqua Metal and Nano technology. Miss Esthe Facial Salon and Skin Care will provide advanced, non-invasive facial treatments using state-of-the-art Japanese equipment.
Nora Hair Salon, led by Kami Charisma-awarded creative director and hairstylist Hidekazu Ando-san, offers Japanese hair care techniques. Nora Lab will function as a specialized training center for aspiring Nora Salon stylists.
Early next year, THBH will host the Phiten IP Salon, the brand’s first location outside Japan, focusing on health and recovery. It will feature advanced equipment such as the hyperbaric Oxygen Alpha chamber, Healthy Light Bathing Capsule, Aqua Titan Bathing Egg, Bathing Egg Beauty and water wave massage beds. THC aims to transform the wellness and beauty shopping experience by providing a combination of world-class retail and treatment services.
THC is planning significant growth throughout 2025 by expanding its brands in key communities across Metro Manila.
Following the flagship launch, Phiten will also operate kiosks at Lucky Chinatown Mall and Mitsukoshi Mall, allowing guests to explore its extensive product line—including bracelets, supports, braces, necklaces, tapes, and apparel—and experience demonstrations of its patented AQUA METAL technology.
Other THC health and beauty brands are also expanding their footprint. Japanese beauty treatments are now available at Alabang Westgate, where Karada and Miss Esthe Facial Salon are currently operating.
Nora Hair Salon is scheduled to open at Alabang Westgate on Dec. 10, 2025. Miss Esthe’s treatments are further accessible at Newport Mall in Pasay City and at The Assembly Grounds, The Rise, in Makati.
Express Relief, a THC subsidiary offering quick, high-quality and affordable massage services, has expanded its presence in the everyday wellness market. It is now located at Vertis North and Lucky Chinatown Mall, adding to existing spots at PITX.
