The Good Stuff
Honest advice
Consultations often include a realistic assessment of the desired result, hair condition and suitable alternatives.
Hair care
One review describes a test before an anti-frizz treatment to check that it suited the client’s hair.
Welcoming team
Customers repeatedly mention a kind, patient team and a comfortable atmosphere, especially during long colour appointments.
Free parking
A customer was sent directions to free parking and greeted at the elevator after arriving.
Efficient service
One visitor said the salon was organised so they did not have to spend time waiting around.
Tips for a Better Visit
Request testing. For a major colour change, ask about a patch or strand test first; one client was warned that the requested colour might not be achievable.
Trust consultation. Bring a reference photo, but leave room for professional guidance; reviews say the team may suggest a more suitable colour for your hair.
Confirm pricing. Ask for the full quotation before work begins, especially for colour services or changes to the original plan.
Allow time. A complex colour appointment can take most of the day: one makeover took almost seven hours.
Use parking. After booking, look out for the salon’s directions to its free parking rather than arriving without a plan.

The Bottom Line
Hair by Salah is a DIFC hairdresser with a strong focus on colour transformations, from highlights and balayage to blonde, beige and copper tones. Reviews also mention cuts, blow-dries and an anti-frizz treatment. The main draw is the consultation: customers often say the team listens, checks the condition of the hair and explains what can realistically be achieved instead of simply agreeing to every request.
The salon’s atmosphere comes across as warm and attentive. Visitors describe a clean, comfortable setting and staff who check in during the process, which matters when a colour appointment lasts several hours. One review also mentions directions to free parking and a greeting at the elevator, a useful DIFC detail.
There are some cautions. A colour service took almost seven hours in one case, and one customer reported paying AED 1,280 after being asked for more. Another said their colour faded within a month and left the hair frizzier.
For a first visit, bring your reference photo, ask about testing and hair health, and confirm the complete price before work starts. The reviews suggest this is a better fit for clients who welcome candid advice rather than wanting a stylist to follow a photo without adjustment.
