The Good Stuff
Moroccan Bath
The Moroccan bath is repeatedly paired with positive massage feedback, with one review specifically recommending the combination.
Hair Colouring
A detailed review says the highlights were perfectly blended and the haircut matched the requested result.
French Tips
A customer appreciated being able to test several colours before choosing a French manicure and pedicure.
Multi-Service Visits
The salon has coordinated several treatments under time pressure; one customer completed mani-pedi, lashes and blow-drying on a tight schedule.
Clean Setting
Customers describe the salon and spa facilities as clean, neat and welcoming.
Privacy Care
One covered customer said the team arranged visits so no men were around, which made the mixed salon feel comfortable.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Total. For multiple treatments, confirm each item and the final total before paying; one review reported an overcharge.
Clarify Instructions. Before a hammam or massage, confirm the instructions and request water in advance if you expect a long steam-room session.
Show References. Bring a reference photo but explain how you style your hair and confirm the finish before leaving, since one requested style needed fixing at home.
Avoid Facial Wax. If you are concerned about facial waxing, discuss alternatives clearly first; one review specifically preferred threading and reported a burn.

The Bottom Line
ELMAX Salon & Spa is a mixed salon and spa inside Arjaan by Rotana in Dubai Internet City. You can book a Moroccan bath, massage, hair colouring, manicure or pedicure, making it useful for a single treatment or a more ambitious pre-event appointment. The listing also notes free valet parking.
Massage is one of the strongest themes in the reviews. Customers mention both lymphatic and deep-tissue treatments, with one describing the latter as among the best they had experienced. Moroccan bath and massage are also recommended together.
Hair work gets detailed praise too: one customer was pleased with perfectly blended highlights and a matching haircut, while another reported a quick blow-dry for long hair. Nail visitors mention French and gel manicures, and one multi-service appointment included mani-pedi, eyelashes and blow-drying arranged within a tight schedule. There are a few reasons to be precise when booking.
Check the total for multiple treatments, clarify instructions if communication is difficult, and ask for water during a long steam-room session. Hair results were not consistent for every reviewer, and one older review reported a facial waxing burn. If privacy matters, one covered customer said the team made sure no men were present during her visit.
