The Good Stuff
Hair Care
Hair treatments include personalised aftercare advice; one visitor left with softer, nourished hair and a routine to follow at home.
Precise Nails
Reviews describe careful, gentle nail work that follows the requested design closely, including strong mani-pedi results.
Warm Setting
The salon is described as spacious, warm and inviting, with tea and Brazilian cake adding a thoughtful touch during visits.

Broad Beauty Menu
Customers use the salon for combinations such as hair, nails, brows, lashes and body treatments in one visit.
Tips for a Better Visit
Discuss Curls. For curly hair, ask whether the stylist will define, dry and cut curl by curl; that process was clearly explained by one reviewer.
Share Goals. Be specific about the cut or colour you want and ask what will work with your hair; a reviewer valued that honest guidance.
Allow Drying. Leave time for curly hair to dry fully. One visitor received tea and Brazilian cake while waiting for the hair to dry.
Check Lighting. If you are sensitive to bright light, ask about the hair-washing area before the wash begins.

Popular Mentions
Curly hair styling
Curly appointments can include defined styling, drying and finishing designed to show the shape of the curls.
Keratin treatment
A customer said a keratin treatment helped stretch their curls slightly rather than removing their curl pattern entirely.
Lymphatic drainage massage
Lymphatic drainage is mentioned alongside massage and other treatments as part of a multi-service visit.
Gel pedicure
Gel pedicures are mentioned as part of a visit that also included curly-hair services and deep conditioning.

Common Concerns
Bright Lighting
The lights above the hair-washing area can shine directly into your eyes and reduce the relaxing feel of the wash.
Colour Complaint

The Bottom Line
Essential Beauty is a Jumeirah salon where the clearest speciality in the reviews is textured hair. You can book a curly haircut or curly styling, with one detailed account describing product-led definition, drying, a curl-by-curl cut, diffusing and a little oil. Hair hydration treatments, blow-drys, balayage and keratin treatments also appear in customer visits.
Nails are another strong reason to consider it: reviewers mention careful manicures, gel pedicures, extensions and browlumination, with technicians praised for following requested designs gently and precisely. Lashes, massages and lymphatic drainage make it possible to combine several appointments in one trip. The setting comes across as warm, spacious and calm rather than rushed.
Tea, coffee and Brazilian cake—sometimes offered while hair is drying—are recurring details, and customers often mention friendly reception and attentive service. For hair treatments, reviewers appreciated advice about maintaining hair health at home. There is one small comfort issue: a reviewer found the lights above the washing area too bright in the eyes.
A much older review also reports a poor highlights experience, including orange and uneven colour that required correction elsewhere, so it is worth discussing your colour plan clearly before starting.
