The Good Stuff
Cool tones
Ashy colour is reported to stay cool-toned and natural rather than turning orange over time.
Colour correction
One visitor says a burgundy tint worked well after years of box-dyed black hair, while another had a previous colour disaster corrected.
Lasting highlights
A returning client says highlights stay fresh for months when maintained with a special conditioner.
Long blow-dry
One blow-dry held for three days, including through an outdoor outing in humid weather.
Personalised cuts
A client with thick hair wanted layers and says the cut fell effortlessly as it grew.
Welcoming team
Reviews describe a clean, relaxing salon with a kind, efficient team and attentive consultations.
Tips for a Better Visit
Request patch test. Ask for a patch test before dyeing, especially if your scalp is sensitive; one visitor said none was done.
Discuss condition. Explain previous bleaching, black dye or straightening before going lighter so the colour plan reflects your hair’s condition.
Book ahead. Appointments can be busy, so book in advance rather than relying on a last-minute slot.
Allow time. Leave plenty of time for major colour work; one bleaching appointment took six hours.
Check parking. A review reports public parking with the first 0–3 hours free, though longer services may need validation.

The Bottom Line
Hair by Rojin in DIFC is chiefly a colour salon, with balayage, highlights and corrective colour forming the strongest thread in the reviews. Clients describe moving from very dark or box-dyed hair into balayage shades, chocolate brown with warm highlights, burgundy tints and cool ash tones. Haircuts, smoothing treatments and blow-dries are also mentioned, so this is not just a colour-and-leave appointment.
The most convincing pattern is personalisation. Several long-term clients say Rojin chooses shades to suit their face, skin tone or personality, while one visitor brought TikTok references and felt the finished colour improved on the original idea. Another says her blow-dry lasted three days in humid outdoor weather.
The salon is also described as clean, relaxing and welcoming, with a capable team supporting the appointment. There are important cautions. One customer reported ongoing hair fall and greasy-feeling hair after a baby cream treatment; others described bleach damage, scalp irritation or a red result after requesting ash.
Ask about a patch test, the products and the plan for previously treated hair before committing to a major change. Prices may feel high, and one reported colour charge was 1,000aed. Book ahead, and allow several hours for complex colour work.
