The Good Stuff
Texture matching
The team found a microlink match for relaxed, frizz-prone hair when other salons said they could not match the texture.
Colour work
Stylists blend shades carefully, including three colours used to create dimension and custom matches for copper and bleach-blonde hair.
Keratin bonds
Reviews praise the salon’s keratin-bond expertise, with one customer reporting bonds that stayed in place for four months.
Curly expertise
Curly-haired clients report that naturally curly extensions blend well, remain easy to wash and can be coloured repeatedly.
Thoughtful advice
A consultation helped one customer avoid extensions that would have weighed down fine Scandinavian hair and looked too visible.
Hair quality
Customers describe the extension hair as thick, soft, long-lasting and natural rather than synthetic-looking.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book consultation. Ask for a consultation first; one customer highlights that consultations are free, which gives you a chance to discuss colour, texture and method.
Confirm matching. If your colour or texture is difficult to match, ask the salon to source the right option rather than accepting an imperfect match.
Choose weight. Discuss extension weight carefully if your hair is fine; a customer found thick extensions weighed down Scandinavian hair and looked visible.
Discuss tape-ins. If you are considering tape-ins, ask detailed questions about shedding and retention; one review reports severe loss after every shampoo.
Plan maintenance. Ask how long your chosen bonds are expected to last and when to return; one customer reported four months before reapplication.
Learn aftercare. Before leaving, ask for upkeep advice so you know how to keep the extensions in good shape between appointments.

The Bottom Line
The Extensionist Dubai is a specialist hair extensions salon in Al Wasl, with reviews centred on natural-looking results rather than obvious added hair. You can book curly extensions, microlinks, K-tip extensions, or keratin-bond applications, and the team is often praised for matching both colour and texture. One relaxed-haired customer received microlinks blended through different techniques to create a sleek, smooth finish.
Colour matching is a real strength. Reviews describe blended shades, including three colours used to add dimension, and one first-time curly-extension client was advised to wait while the salon sourced a better colour and texture match. That is useful if your hair is difficult to match or you are tempted to settle for “close enough”.
The experience is generally described as professional, friendly and careful, with consultations and aftercare guidance mentioned positively. Fine-haired clients should discuss weight before choosing a dense extension type; one customer found thick hair weighed down and became visible. There is also a clear caution around tape-ins: one reviewer reported heavy shedding after shampooing and combing, with the hair unusable after seven weeks.
Other methods, particularly keratin bonds, receive much stronger long-term feedback. One customer also found the Al Wasl location less than ideal, though worthwhile for the result.
