Book consultation. For colour or several services, confirm there is enough consultation time before the appointment.
Mention old dye. Tell the stylist about previous colour treatments; one reviewer’s black dye affected whether new colour could process safely.
Request valet. Ask about the complimentary valet when you arrive, as reviewers found it helpful with parking around the salon.
Show inspiration. Bring an inspiration image for detailed nail art or a precise colour request so the desired result is clear.
Allow time. Plan for a longer appointment if combining hair, nails or treatments; one visitor spent the day moving between several services.

The Bottom Line
Pastels Salon Jumeirah is a full-service beauty salon in Umm Suqeim where customers commonly book hair colour, balayage, cuts and blow-drys. The strongest pattern in the reviews is careful hair work: stylists are often described as taking time to discuss shades, texture and face shape, while one reviewer said a hair test prevented an unsuitable colour process and led to a treatment-focused result instead. The experience extends beyond hair.
Reviews mention gel extensions with intricate nail art, manicures and pedicures, facials, waxing and eyebrows, plus notably relaxing head, neck and shoulder massages during hair washes. The salon is also described as clean and elegant, with one nail review specifically noting that tools were sterilised or new. Complimentary valet parking is another practical advantage at the Al Wasl location.
There is one important caution for colour bookings. A customer reported patchy root colour, a disappointing haircut and blow-dry, while another alleged that colour stained the face and kept bleeding after repeated washes. Those experiences are not reflected in most of the supplied reviews, but they make a thorough consultation and clear confirmation of the planned service worthwhile.
If you are combining treatments, allow plenty of time rather than treating it as a quick appointment.
