Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm inclusions. Before booking a head massage, confirm the actual duration and whether oils or a hair wash are included.
Discuss pressure. Ask how intense a slimming massage will be beforehand; one reviewer found the treatment painful.
Check suitability. For a chemical hair treatment, ask about scalp safety and stop if you feel burning or unusual pain.
Consider packages. If you plan regular body treatments, compare a package with individual sessions; a reviewer noticed differences with consistent visits.
Plan accordingly. This is a ladies-only center, so confirm that works for everyone attending before making an appointment.

The Bottom Line
Machka Beauty & Body Design is a ladies-only wellness and beauty center in Al Wasl where you can book lymphatic drainage, slimming massage, hair treatments, nail services and fitness sessions. The reviews are strongest around bodywork: customers describe feeling less bloated or swollen after lymphatic drainage, while others mention anti-cellulite work and maderotherapy wood massage for a more sculpted-feeling result. It is also a practical all-under-one-roof salon.
One customer appreciated having her hair assessed before the right treatment was recommended, and another praised the salon’s cleanliness, organization, punctuality and lack of long waits. Ladies’ fitness classes and one-to-one personal training add a useful option if you want exercise alongside treatments. Home-service slimming massage is mentioned too.
There are a few cautions. Pricing can feel high to some customers, and one review says a 30-minute head massage lasted only 20–25 minutes and included neither oils nor a hair wash, so confirm exactly what is included. More seriously, a customer reported scalp burns and infection after a hair Botox treatment; that account is a review allegation, but it is worth discussing safety and stopping immediately if a treatment feels painful or unusually hot.
