The Good Stuff
Fast Blow-Drys
Several reviews describe polished blow-drys delivered quickly, including one long-haired guest finished in time for dinner.
Men’s Grooming
Men’s services include precise haircuts and relaxing beard treatments; one guest described the beard treatment as especially calming.
Makeup Detail
Makeup reviews highlight careful listening, comfort and results that attracted compliments throughout the day.
Relaxing Washes
Hair washes are repeatedly described as relaxing, with one visitor calling out an unusually good head massage.
Chic Setting
Guests mention an elegant salon, welcoming staff, refreshments and pleasant views outside.
Tips for a Better Visit
Clarify Colour. For colour work, explain the target shade and ask to review options first; one guest used a colour chart to avoid unwanted red tones.
Mention Timing. If you have a dinner or appointment soon after, mention the deadline when booking; a guest arrived late and asked the team to hurry.
Ask Treatments. If your hair is dry or damaged, ask what restorative treatment is suitable; reviews mention caviar treatments and advice for maintaining hair health.
Confirm Products. For a colour touch-up, confirm the shade and ask which products or chemicals will be used before processing.
Book Ahead. If you want a particular stylist or a major occasion style, book in advance; one guest visited the same stylist daily for two weeks.

The Bottom Line
Alkemy Salons is a Palm Jumeirah beauty salon with hair, makeup, nails and grooming for women and men. The reviews make its strongest uses clear: book a blow-dry, a colour service, occasion makeup or men’s haircut and beard treatment. Guests also mention microblading, manicures and pedicures, so it can work as a multi-service visit rather than a quick trim.
Blow-drys are a recurring strength, including a long-haired guest who was finished in time for a dinner reservation. Colour work can be thoughtful and consultative: one review describes using a colour chart, checking the hair carefully and adding a caviar treatment to dry hair. The setting also gets practical praise, with refreshments, friendly reception and pleasant views mentioned by visitors staying at Atlantis.
There is one important caution. A customer reported that a brown root touch-up turned almost black, left the hair uneven and damaged, irritated the scalp, and came with no explanation of the products used. That is a serious counterpoint to the many positive colour reviews, so confirm the target shade and products before processing.
For a time-sensitive appointment, mention your deadline when booking; reviews suggest the team can sometimes work quickly, but a consultation remains worthwhile for colour or damaged hair.
