The Good Stuff
Hair colour
Customers report successful colour corrections and blonde transformations, including a natural-looking brighter blonde result.
Extensions
Reviews describe extension work as seamless and natural, with one extension refit paired with a bouncy blow-dry that lasted for days.
Flexible booking
One customer was able to add nails and toes at the last minute and have multiple treatments done at the same time.
Valet parking
The salon has valet parking and is close to Gate Village shopping, which helps if you are visiting from elsewhere in Dubai.
Brow shaping
A review highlights face-shape-based eyebrow shaping alongside threading for the upper lip.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm pricing. Ask for the final blow-dry price before booking and again at checkout, since one review reports a lower WhatsApp quote than the amount charged.
Book ahead. Even mornings can need an appointment, despite being quieter than other times.
Share photos. Bring a reference image for a blow-dry or hair service; one customer said the requested picture was copied exactly.
Plan treatments. If you need several services, ask whether they can be scheduled together; a review says nails and toes were added during an extension and blow-dry visit.
Check retention. If booking extensions or gel polish, discuss expected durability first, as reviews range from long retention to chipping within days.

The Bottom Line
The Salon Luxe at the Ritz Carlton Hotel DIFC covers the main salon basics, but its strongest review pattern is around nails and hair. You can book manicure and pedicure appointments, gel or hard-gel extensions, hair colour and cuts, blow-dries, and extension refits. Nail reviews often mention neat shaping, detailed work and good retention, while hair customers describe successful blonde transformations, colour corrections and seamless extensions.
The experience seems to depend considerably on the service and appointment. Several regulars return for years, and one visitor managed to combine an extension refit and blow-dry with nails and toes during the same visit. Valet parking and proximity to Gate Village shopping are useful DIFC details, particularly if you are travelling in from another part of Dubai.
There are important checks to make before committing. One customer paid 367 AED for a basic blow-dry after receiving a lower quote, while another said a graduation blowout did not last the evening. Nail durability is also not uniformly reported: some customers praise long-lasting gel, but others mention polish wearing off within five days or extensions chipping within a week.
Confirm the final price, discuss expected retention and book ahead, even for a quieter morning slot.
