The Good Stuff
Highlight rescue
One customer said a previously poor highlight result was transformed into a better look in about 30 minutes.
Good consultations
A customer said the stylist listened closely, waited for approval after the cut and made requested adjustments without upselling.
Walk-ins
Some customers were accommodated without an appointment, including one who received a quick cut between booked clients.
Hijabi care
One review says staff made a mother and daughter feel comfortable having their hair done as hijabis.
Nail details
Reviews mention clean, detailed nail work, including a French manicure that one customer rated among their best.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm pricing. Ask for the full price and every included service before starting; one haircut quoted at 180 ended at 310 after unexplained extras.
Check privacy. If you wear hijab, confirm the private setup before booking rather than assuming sheets or partitions will be available.
Bring references. Show a reference photo and ask the stylist to repeat the requested length, layers and finish; one customer said the photo was ignored.
Allow time. For an early appointment, check that the relevant hairdresser is actually ready; one customer waited from 10:30am and left after an hour.
Skip memberships. Consider trying a regular appointment first: one reviewer said membership haircuts lasted no more than 15 minutes and felt rushed.
Verify add-ons. Check that paid extras were actually performed; one customer was charged 70 AED for a blow-dry they said never happened.

Popular Mentions
Brazilian Blowout
Customers mention Brazilian Blowouts as a treatment that can produce very good results, though one review disputes the promised straightening effect.
Blow dry
Blow-drys are often paired with haircuts, with one customer saying the cut and blow-dry matched exactly what they wanted.
Common Concerns
Uneven results
Several customers reported cuts that were too short, choppy, unblended or unlike the requested style, including one cut that removed 6 inches.
Colour risk
A customer requesting subtle cool ash-brown highlights left with thick copper, yellow and orange streaks and felt the complaint was dismissed.
Price clarity
Reviews report unexpected charges, including a Brazilian Blowout billed at 1,400 AED against an 850 AED official price-list amount.
Long waits
One parent waited about an hour for a 10:30am haircut while staff appeared available but did not attend to the queue.
Privacy gaps
A hijabi customer left because there was no proper private area and men hairdressers were present around the salon.

The Bottom Line
TipTop Hair in Dubai Marina covers the basics of a full salon visit, from haircuts and blow-drys to colour work, highlights, Brazilian Blowouts and nails. The strongest reviews are stylist-specific: customers describe successful colour corrections, a dramatic highlight improvement in around 30 minutes, and cuts where the stylist checked the result before making adjustments. Walk-ins have also been accommodated, which is useful for a quick visit if someone is free.
The experience is not consistent. Alongside detailed praise, several customers reported haircuts that removed far more length than requested, including one losing 6 inches and another losing more than 10 cm of layered hair. Colour outcomes also range from a rescued bleach job to thick copper-orange highlights when a cool ash-brown result was requested.
Complaints about rude responses after problems were reported appear more than once. Pricing deserves a careful conversation before treatment. Reviews mention a 1,400 AED Brazilian Blowout against an 850 AED price-list figure, a 310 AED final haircut bill after an initial 180 AED quote, and a 70 AED blow-dry charge that one customer said was not performed.
Hijabi clients should also confirm the privacy arrangement in advance, as reviews disagree about how well the salon can accommodate them.
