We’re all in need of a little break. Between the constant stress of alerts and pings, working around the clock, and the general chaos of life (can’t we chill?), who says a little R&R won’t fix a bad day?
Dubai has a slew of salons that are worth the time and your dirhams – whether you’re looking to walk in for a quick glow up or book a full glam session, these spots are a must.
Scroll down for the best Dubai salons in 2026.
Tara Rose Salon
Why we love it ❤️: We love a women-only team. Founded by Tara Rose Kidd, her eponymous salon made its mark across Abu Dhabi and Dubai, powered by a collective of seriously talented creatives. Each stylist is personally hand-picked by Tara based on their skills (there’s no denying that here) and their craft.
📍: Motor City & Al Quoz, Dubai.

Aura Blend Dubai
Why we love it ❤️: Lojain Omran is a regular there. Fozaza gets her blowout here. Dima Kandalaft approves. Need we say more? From its Wavelle hair extension services (top-notch, obviously), to elevated everyday hair styling – and some mani-pedis to complete the regimen – Aura Blend ticks all the boxes you’re looking for.
📍: Al Sufouh, Dubai Internet City, Dubai.

My Kind Of Place (MKP Salon)
Why we love it ❤️: Here at Cosmo ME HQ, we love an aesthetic, vibey place. Like, imagine getting your hair and nails done in a pink salon. That’s so Cosmo and it-girl coded in our opinion. And the results? Phenomenal. So, trust us when we say the environment is as good as the services. New hairdo coming through!
📍: City Walk 2, Residential Building 9, Al Wasl, Dubai.

SMA Skin
Why we love it ❤️: You know the drill – hair, manis, pedis, and lashes… right? Nope, you’re missing skin. At SMA Skin, beauty goes skin deep with medical-grade beauty treatments using brands like ZO Skin Health, SkinPen and HydroFacial. The best part? This women-led salon is treating us for some free treatments (and you, ofc). They’re offering complimentary ZO Skin facials and K18 blow-dries every Thursday throughout April.
📍: SMA SKIN Marina Whalf 2, Dubai.
Book your appointment here by DMing “Free Thursday”.
Kimia Salon
Why we love it ❤️: There’s a new girl in town, and her name is Kimia Salon. Just opened this year, it’s a space made by women for women – we love to see that. Its name, meaning “alchemy” in Persian, is all about the art of transformation. Whether you’re after a fresh pair of nails (French? Chrome? Say less) or perhaps ready for a complete 180, Kimia has you covered.
📍: Q-East By Alphabeta, Dubai.

Crush Dubai
Why we love it ❤️: If beauty were a sport (let’s be honest, it is), Crush would be taking home gold – especially for its future-forward approach. Crush Dubai offers a full spectrum of beauty services, but the real deal-breaker is the fact that the founders are absolute stars. From Natalia leads as the founder and strategist, while Grigorii, an international make up aritst who’s work spans Chanel, Gucci and other Maisons, brings all the credibility you need. Safe to say, your glam is in very good hands.
📍: Q-Oxford Tower, Business Bay, Dubai.
