Hair consultation
Stylists are praised for listening closely, explaining service details and recommending aftercare rather than rushing the appointment.
Clean setting
Customers describe the salon as cozy, peaceful and very clean, with comfortable massage chairs at the wash area.
Nail detail
Manicure customers mention precise shaping, gentle gel removal, neat colour application and nail art that matches their inspiration.
Welcoming service
The reception and salon team are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and professional, including during a child’s birthday appointment.
Halal polish
One customer specifically found certified halal gel polish and tried a Cat Eye mani-pedi design.
Gentle facials
A face-lifting facial was described as deeply relaxing, with notably gentle hands and a comfortable treatment experience.
Tips for a Better Visit
Explain pattern. For very short curls, discuss curl-by-curl shaping, shrinkage and volume placement before the cut.
Ask aftercare. If you are booking curl work, ask for aftercare guidance; one customer specifically valued the detailed explanation.
Check availability. Confirm the timing and requested service when booking, as staff availability may depend on your requirements.

The Bottom Line
Salon No9 in Umm Suqeim is a polished choice for curl-focused hair care, nails and quieter self-care appointments. Reviews specifically mention curl cuts, layered cuts, colour-and-curl packages, Calgel manicures, pedicures and face-lifting facials. The strongest pattern is careful hair work: customers describe defined curls, preserved curl patterns and one style that stayed intact for more than a week despite two international flights.
The atmosphere matters here too. Customers repeatedly describe a clean, cozy and peaceful salon, with comfortable massage chairs at the wash area and a welcoming reception. Nail reviews call out precise shaping, gentle gel removal, detailed nail art and certified halal gel polish, including a Cat Eye mani-pedi.
A birthday curl cut and hair steam appointment for a daughter was also made to feel special, suggesting the team can handle more personal occasions thoughtfully. There is one important curly-hair caution. A customer with very short curls felt their wet, symmetrical cut ignored natural curl pattern; after the gel was washed out, it expanded into a mushroom shape.
If your hair is short and curly, discuss shrinkage, volume placement and curl-by-curl shaping before starting. Also confirm appointment timing and staff availability, which one reviewer said depends on the service required.
