GOOD HAIR DAY: THE 5 BEST PLACES FOR A BLOW-DRY IN DUBAI
Because, let's be honest, a big, bouncy, perfectly blow-dried barnet equals happiness itself
Join the glossy posse with our favourite salons in Dubai
PASTELS SALON. Almost always the first salon recommended to a Dubai newbie for hair, you can’t go wrong with Pastels. With salons at both ends of town in JBR and Jumeirah, a bouncy blow starts from Dhs130. Not forgetting a shout out to the King of Colour, Karl Warner. Hi, Karl!• To book, call +971 4 388 3534 for Al Wasl branch, +971 4 344 7883 for Mercato Mall branch, +971 4 399 5016 for Ritz Carlton JBR branch
BE BAR. The cutest little hidden gem (note the ultra-Instagrammable door) on Jumeirah Beach Road. Ask for Rica, self-proclaimed hair whisperer, and we totally agree. She can turn around the most impressive braid’n’ blow at lightning speed. You also lay down while they wash your hair – dreamy – and with the conditioning head massage we may or may not have been known to drift off.• To book, call +971 4 321 2348
MARQUEE. Voted Best Hair Salon last year at the Grazia Style Awards, and salon favourite to the likes of Tala Samman and Zahra Lyla, Marquee gets you event-ready with bouncy blow-dries from Dhs110.• To book, call +971 4 420 7700 for Arabian Ranches branch, +971 4 399 5336 for The Lakes branch, +971 4 321 7395 for Jumeirah Road branch
