The Good Stuff
Natural Results
Several reviews describe highlights and balayage as soft, blended, natural and dimensional rather than stark or overdone.
Lifestyle Fit
One colour consultation considered fast-growing hair, limited salon time and daily habits when planning a grey-blending result.
Hair Health
Reviews mention healthier, softer hair after cuts, treatments and colour, including careful work on previously damaged hair.
Non-Toxic Nails
The salon has a selection of non-toxic nail colours, useful if conventional nail products are a concern.
Reliable Arrival
A customer specifically praised punctuality and said the convenient valet removed the stress of parking.
Tips for a Better Visit
Request Testing. If you are nervous about bleach or major colour changes, ask whether a strand test is suitable before the full service.
Bring Photos. Bring several inspiration images and explain what you like and dislike; this helped one customer turn an unclear idea into a workable colour plan.
Clarify Contouring. Discuss the size and brightness of front contour pieces carefully, as one review specifically advises avoiding contouring after an unhappy result.
Confirm Pricing. For extensions or colour changes, ask for pricing throughout the appointment; one customer valued clear price communication while having weft extensions redone.
Use Valet. If parking is a concern, ask about the salon’s valet before arriving; a reviewer found it particularly convenient.
Book Clearly. Confirm availability and appointment details in advance, since one returning customer reported conflicting booking information and communication problems.

The Bottom Line
The Nest Salon is a ladies-only hair, nails and brows salon in Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim. It is especially worth considering for colour appointments: customers mention balayage, highlights, toners and grey blending, often describing the finish as soft, natural and well blended. Haircuts, blow dries, treatments and styling are also part of the experience, with nails available in the same visit.
The strongest pattern in the reviews is the consultation process. Customers describe stylists listening closely, showing examples, explaining the steps and using strand tests when bleach or a significant colour change could be risky. One consultation even accounted for fast-growing hair, limited time and everyday styling habits, resulting in a more manageable grey-blending plan.
Several reviews also say their hair felt healthier or softer afterwards. For nails, the salon has non-toxic colour options, and reviews mention manicures, pedicures and BIAB. Valet is repeatedly useful, while one customer also praised punctuality.
There is one practical caution: a recent review reports difficulty getting clear booking information and consistent communication. Another customer was unhappy with thick, bright front contour pieces, so clarify that detail carefully before highlights.
