The Good Stuff
Blonde colour
Reviews repeatedly mention reliable blonde highlights, colour and balayage, including work that avoids over-processing.
Careful advice
Stylists are praised for listening, making recommendations for face shape and hair type, and explaining what suits the hair.
Thoughtful extras
The service includes small touches such as a drinks menu, attractive cups and complimentary refreshments.
Easy bookings
One long-term customer specifically found the salon organised and the booking process easy.
Healthy results
A customer reported that their hair stayed healthy and that advice was clear rather than pushy.
Tips for a Better Visit
Ask first. Confirm what the blow-dry includes and costs before starting; one customer disputed a separate 25 Dirhams charge.
Allow time. Leave plenty of time for colour appointments: one customer spent three hours on half-head highlights without a haircut.
Request massage. If relaxation matters, ask whether the pressure-point or head massage is included with your appointment.
Discuss colour. Bring a clear colour brief but use the consultation to discuss condition and whether your hair needs a gentler plan.

The Bottom Line
The Fold Salon is a hairdresser in Motor City where customers come for cuts, blow-dries and colour, with especially strong feedback around blonde highlights and balayage. The appeal is not just the finished hair: appointments are built around a calm setting, welcoming service and memorable wash-time massages. For a first visit, expect a consultation-led approach.
Reviews mention stylists listening closely, advising on face shape, hair type and colour direction, while long-term clients say their hair is not over-processed. Blonde clients in particular describe consistently good highlights and colour results. A 15-year-old customer also left happy with a cut and blow-dry, suggesting younger clients are not overlooked.
The massage is one of The Fold’s clearest signatures: customers mention pressure-point, head and shoulder massages, with one review calling the head massage the best they had experienced. Drinks are another recurring touch, from tea and coffee to an iced pistachio latte and caramel popcorn. There is one practical caution.
A customer spent three hours on half-head highlights and no haircut, and separately questioned a 25 Dirhams blow-dry fee that had not been explained. Confirm the planned service, timing and any add-ons before you begin. A haircut was reported at 350 dirhams in another review.
