The Good Stuff
Colour work
Reviews describe successful vivid colour, balayage, grey coverage and colour correction, including a strand test on extensions.
Cutting skill
Customers specifically mention precision cuts, bobs, pixie cuts, wolf cuts and butterfly cuts delivered close to their requested styles.
Facial detail
The Hydrafacial review mentions deep cleansing, extractions, face lifting, LED mask, massage and visibly hydrated skin.
Ship setting
The salon’s location inside the QE2 adds a distinctive experience, with some visits including a short ship history tour.
Aftercare advice
Several hair reviews mention clear guidance for maintaining results, including washing instructions and product recommendations.
Family welcome
Reviews describe children being treated hospitably, including a five-year-old entertained during an appointment and a first manicure for a daughter.
Tips for a Better Visit
Discuss scalp. If you have had treatment-related scalp problems, explain them before booking and ask how the product and heat will be adapted.
Request testing. For colour work on extensions, ask whether a strand test is appropriate before the full appointment.
Plan time. Allow several hours for a major transformation: one dark-hair colour appointment took nearly five hours.
Ask aftercare. Before leaving after keratin or other smoothing work, get washing and maintenance instructions so the result lasts longer.
Explore QE2. Build in time for the setting: some customers received a short history or facilities tour during their salon visit.

The Bottom Line
TrendSetters is a unisex hair-and-beauty salon inside the Queen Elizabeth 2 in Dubai Maritime City. The reviews make it especially appealing for hair changes that need consultation rather than a quick, standard service: customers mention keratin, anti-frizz, nanoplastia, balayage, vivid colour, grey coverage and precision cuts. Facials and nail treatments round out the visit.
The hair-treatment feedback is detailed. One anti-frizz customer reported shiny, frizz-free hair and a healthy scalp a month later after the product was kept away from the scalp and the heat was adjusted to hair texture. Another customer had a strand test on extensions before honey-blonde balayage.
Aftercare advice, realistic expectations and explanations during the appointment also come up repeatedly. There is a genuine sense of occasion to the setting. The salon is compact, but visits can include a QE2 history or facilities tour, and reviews mention a welcoming atmosphere for families.
Plan generously for major colour work; one transformation took nearly five hours. Do discuss any previous scalp reactions before booking: one review describes dandruff after a protein treatment and again after a retouch, with concerns felt to be dismissed. That experience stands apart from the otherwise strongly positive service feedback, but it is worth considering before chemical treatments.
