The Good Stuff
Gel nails
Gel extensions and a chrome French gel tips set are highlighted for clean lines and careful shaping.
Nail detail
One visitor praised a chrome French gel tips set after precise corrections and clean, even lines.
Hair advice
Several reviews say the hair team listens and suggests ways to avoid unnecessary damage rather than simply proceeding.
Welcoming team
Customers commonly describe the staff as friendly, supportive and attentive during treatments.
Hotel setting
The salon is inside a hotel, and one review specifically mentions valet parking.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm colour. Repeat the exact shade before dyeing; one customer asked for blue-black and received black instead.
Get pricing. Ask for the full price before treatment and payment, especially around holidays; one review reports 1500 AED for a haircut and blow-dry.
Allow time. Build in extra time for highlights or bleaching: a review says a simple highlights appointment took almost five hours.
Clarify scope. For highlights, confirm whether only sections or the whole head will be bleached before work begins.
Consider parking. The hotel location is described as offering valet parking, which may help if you are driving to the appointment.
Late option. A Saturday blowout at 21:30 was described as quick, so late appointments may be available for simpler styling.

The Bottom Line
Karim & Amin Beauty Salon in Business Bay is mainly a hair-and-nails stop. Reviews mention hair extensions, colour services, keratin treatments, blow-dries and gel extensions, with several customers especially pleased by natural-looking extension blends and careful nail work. One review describes a chrome French gel tips set with clean lines and quick corrections.
The experience is not completely consistent. Many customers describe friendly staff, attentive consultations and hair that was left healthy-looking, but others report the wrong colour, frizz after a long blow-dry, or severe breakage and scalp irritation after bleaching. Highlights and colour changes may take much longer than expected, too; one visitor spent almost five hours on simple highlights.
Be very clear about the shade and treatment scope before any chemical service, particularly whether highlights mean partial work or bleaching the entire head. Ask for the full price in advance: one review reports 1500 AED for a haircut and blow-dry after an undisclosed holiday price change. The salon is in a hotel, and a customer mentions valet parking.
A late Saturday blowout at 21:30 was reported as quick, though that may not apply to complex colour or extension appointments.
