The Good Stuff
Thorough consultations
Consultations can include detailed planning and a strand test; one client received over an hour of advice before a major colour change.
Curly expertise
Customers with curly hair mention cuts, colour choices and styling that respect their texture, including diffusing curls to make them pop.
Natural balayage
One review says balayage continued to grow out naturally and still drew compliments months after the appointment.
Relaxing wash
The wash stations are repeatedly praised for comfortable positioning, with head, neck and shoulder massages mentioned as part of the experience.
Friendly team
Several reviews describe welcoming assistants and a sociable salon, including tea on arrival and attentive support during colour services.
Quality products
Customers mention good-quality products and advice aimed at keeping hair healthy during colour and styling changes.
Tips for a Better Visit
Request testing. For bleach or a major colour change, ask for a consultation and strand test first; one client received both before a complex transformation.
Confirm pricing. Confirm exactly what the quoted cut price includes, especially washing and blow-drying, before travelling to the salon.
Allow time. Book plenty of time for colour overhauls: one transformation from light red to dark brown with silver-grey highlights took three hours.
Discuss condition. Explain your hair history and current condition during the consultation; reviews say this helped shape safer colour plans for dark or fragile hair.
Ask aftercare. If your hair is dry or curly, ask about home care and styling: reviewers received product advice, a mask suggestion and curl guidance.
Book reminders. Use the WhatsApp appointment reminder if offered; one regular customer specifically found it helpful for keeping track of visits.

The Bottom Line
SLaM is a creative hair salon in Al Quoz with a clear strength in colour work. Customers come for balayage, highlights, bleach, grey blending and bold changes such as copper, lavender or silver-grey. Reviews repeatedly describe consultations that take hair history, texture and condition seriously, rather than treating a dramatic colour change as a quick job.
One client’s move from dark brown and black hair to copper took two or three gentle sessions. Curly-hair clients have useful evidence here too: reviewers mention cuts shaped for curls, colour suited to hair type and diffusing that made curls pop. The salon also gets consistent praise for its wash experience, including comfortable reclining sinks and head, neck or shoulder massage.
Kerasilk One was suggested for dry hair, while Kevin Murphy hair products are also mentioned. Do confirm the exact service and price before arriving. One visitor chose a cheaper cut option after a phone quote, then found the requested service was not included.
For bleach or a large transformation, ask about a consultation and strand test, and allow several hours when needed. Most recent reviews are strongly positive, but older complaints include an uneven short haircut and dye left on a customer’s face.
