Best Balayage In Dubai: 10 Hair Salons We Recommend
From celebrity-owned salons to award-winning spots, Bazaar Arabia highlights 9 of the best salons for balayage in Dubai
Summer means one thing when it comes to hair self care: your colour is going to need some love. Exposed to excessive sun and sea, hair can become stressed, and fully bleached hair can become brittle, so it’s important to seek out a salon that will care for your hair during the region’s hottest months and ensure a low-maintenance look while you’re travelling.
A chic alternative to a full head of highlights? Balayage. This popular hair colouring technique, which originated in France, is known for its natural and sun-kissed results. Unlike traditional foil highlighting, balayage involves hand-painting or sweeping hair colour onto sections of hair, creating a soft, blended transition from dark to light. This method allows for a more customized and low-maintenance look, as regrowth is less noticeable.
In Dubai, there are a myriad of salons dotted across the city to receive top-quality beauty treatments. At times, it can make it challenging to decide where to go for the best service. Here, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia has compiled a list of 9 editor-approved hair salons for your next balayage.
