Customers describe extension applications as natural-looking, including a first-time volume treatment that matched the client’s expectations.
The team has helped clients match extensions to natural hair, including short, thin hair where finding the right shade was a concern.
One review specifically praises the salon’s experience with Afro hair and a flawless keratin-bond installation and maintenance service.
A first-time extension customer found the application and maintenance process easy and straightforward, with a noticeable change to their look.
Reviews mention patient guidance on extension options, products, brushes and aftercare rather than simply completing the installation.
Confirm Length. Agree the final length and cutting plan clearly before the stylist starts; one customer says the extensions were cut without consent.
Get Pricing. Keep the written quote and confirm all possible add-ons before the appointment, since one customer reported a WhatsApp price change and a detangling fee.
Check Volume. Ask whether the recommended extension type provides the same volume as your previous set; one customer said the lower-volume difference was not explained.
Allow Time. Build several hours into your schedule for a full extension appointment; one ICE installation took around five to six hours.
Discuss Aftercare. Ask for product and brushing guidance before leaving, as customers have found step-by-step aftercare advice useful for maintaining extensions.

One customer says extensions were cut shorter than agreed without consent, leaving them unusable and leading to a dispute over compensation.
A customer reported a last-minute increase after agreeing a fixed WhatsApp rate, plus an unexpected detangling charge.
One review says 145 AED was charged for detangling after a wash, despite the customer reporting no brushing or styling.

The Bottom Line
HAIRPLAY® in DIFC is focused on hair extensions, with customers booking tape-in, keratin-bond, clip-in and ICE extension work as well as colour, blow-dries and smoothing treatments. The strongest pattern in the reviews is careful matching and natural-looking results: one customer with short, thin hair found a perfect colour match, while another said a first installation and its maintenance were easy to understand. The salon also gets credit for detailed guidance.
Reviews describe advice on products, brushes and aftercare, and a keratin-bond customer with Afro hair particularly valued the team’s experience. Full extension appointments can take time; an ICE installation took around five to six hours, so it is worth planning accordingly. There are meaningful cautions.
Customers have reported uncomfortable or damaging installations, poor tape-in performance after the first wash, unclear extension quantities and a serious dispute after extensions were cut shorter without consent. Pricing transparency is another concern: one customer reported a last-minute change from a WhatsApp quote and a 145 AED detangling charge after a wash, while another alleged additional pricing and counting issues. Before paying, get the extension type, quantity, volume, final length, cutting plan and every fee in writing.
