The Good Stuff
Loyal following
Some customers have stayed with the salon for 10 to 20 years, or continue driving over after moving away, citing consistent service.
Hair styling
Reviews praise hairdressers who listen to the requested cut or style and tailor blow-dries to suit the client’s face.
Eyebrow threading
Several customers specifically praise the eyebrow threading as precise, gentle and well shaped.
Welcoming service
Positive reviews describe staff as warm, courteous and attentive, with one customer noting the salon’s small tea service.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm pricing. Before starting, ask what every add-on costs and check the final total; one review says extras were added without clear explanation.
Book ahead. Make an appointment and allow buffer time, since one customer waited 45 minutes even after booking the previous day.
Specify layers. For a layered or step cut, show a reference photo and confirm the shape, as one customer said only bottom layers were created.
Check pedicure. If soaking matters to you, ask about it beforehand: one normal pedicure included filing but no foot soak before or afterwards.
Choose facials carefully. Ask what the facial includes and discuss your skin concerns first; reviews range from excellent explanations to a treatment that left skin dry and red.

Popular Mentions
Facial
Facial reviews vary considerably, from attentive step-by-step treatments to complaints about dryness, redness and a minimal treatment.

Common Concerns
Price clarity
A customer reported unexpected extras and a higher final bill, while another said even filing, polish removal and slippers were charged separately.
Facial inconsistency
Facial feedback is sharply mixed: one customer described a relaxing, explained treatment, while others reported dry, red skin or a basic wet-towel routine.
Hair mismatch
One review says the salon did not achieve proper layers and that the separately priced blow-dry looked more like straightening.

The Bottom Line
Gladys Beauty Saloon in Dubai Production City is a full-service beauty salon with a particularly strong track record for manicures, pedicures and eyebrow threading. Customers also come for haircuts, colour and blow-dries, and several long-term regulars say the service has kept them returning for years, even after moving to another area. Nails are the clearest strength in the reviews.
Customers mention careful shaping, cuticle work, French pedicures, ombré designs and gel extensions; one gel-extension appointment helped repair bitten nails. Hair feedback is more uneven: some reviewers praise personalised blow-dries and requested cuts, while another felt the salon could not produce proper layers and charged separately for a blow-dry that looked like straightening. There are practical cautions.
Ask for a clear price breakdown before work begins, because reviews mention unexpected extras and separately charged filing, polish removal and slippers. Appointment timing also deserves attention after a reported 45-minute wait for a pre-booked root touch-up. Facial experiences vary widely, so confirm the treatment steps and suitability for your skin first.
Pedicure customers who expect soaking should ask about that detail in advance.
