The Good Stuff
Gel extensions
A first-time visitor said the gel extensions were carefully shaped and finished with close attention to detail.
Blow-drys
Blow-drys are a strong part of the salon’s reputation, with one regular customer calling the service the best and fastest they had tried.
Beauty treatments
Customers report comfortable, precise brow threading, tinting and waxing, including a fast, painless bikini wax.
Relaxing extras
Several reviews mention relaxing foot massages during nail appointments, plus a pleasant wash and coffee at the start of some visits.
Loyalty programme
One customer describes the salon as reasonably priced and mentions a loyalty programme.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check colours. For regular polish, ask to see the available colours first: one review found only red and white OPI bottles in stock.
Allow drying. Leave plenty of time after a regular manicure; one customer said their nails took about two hours to dry and collected dust.
Confirm lashes. Before lash extensions, reconfirm the exact shape and volume at the appointment, especially if you want a classic rather than dramatic look.
Consider gel. If longevity matters, gel may be worth asking about: several reviews describe gel manicures lasting for weeks.

BIAB manicures appear in reviews alongside chrome finishes and detailed nail work.

Common Concerns
Polish drying
One regular-polish customer reported dust settling on the nails and around two hours of drying time.
Limited colours
The same review said only one red and one white OPI regular-polish bottle were available.
Lash mismatch
One lash appointment did not match the requested classic L-shape; the customer reported double volume, a three-hour visit and burning during removal.
Mani quality
A long-term customer said two recent manicures were poorly done and that a requested fix was declined because the salon did not do deep cleaning.

The Bottom Line
The Salon Dubai at Golden Mile Galleria is a beauty salon in Palm Jumeirah where reviews most consistently point to detailed nail work, from gel mani-pedis and gel extensions to BIAB chrome finishes. Hair appointments are also well represented, particularly blow-drys, curls and extension fitting. Nail services are the clearest draw.
Customers describe careful shaping, French tips, ombré acrylic overlays and nail art, with one review noting an extension filing that made twisted fingers look straight. Several gel manicures were said to last for weeks, and pedicure reviews mention thorough work, gentle treatment and relaxing foot massages. The salon also handles brows, threading, tinting, waxing and lashes, so it can suit a multi-service appointment rather than nails alone.
There are a few practical cautions. A regular mani-pedi customer reported dust settling while polish dried, roughly two hours of drying time and only two OPI colours available. Another review described a lash-extension shape being done differently from what was requested, followed by burning during removal.
If you book regular polish or lashes, confirm the colours or lash design in advance. One reviewer also mentions reasonable pricing and a loyalty programme.
