The Good Stuff
Routine guidance
Several visits include advice on styling and product use, helping clients recreate their curl routine after leaving the salon.
Curl revival
Reviews mention damaged or previously straightened hair returning softer, healthier, more defined and noticeably bouncier.
Welcoming setting
Customers describe the salon as clean, stylish and comfortable, with friendly reception and a warm atmosphere.
Children’s cuts
A review reports a successful curly haircut and styling visit for a seven-year-old child.
Scalp treatment
The hair lab treatment helped one customer deal with substantial product build-up and left their scalp feeling lighter.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm length. If keeping length matters, discuss shrinkage and how much can be removed before the cut; one reviewer said tight curls should be stretched to assess length.
Explain routine. Tell the stylist what already works for your hair and ask them to incorporate it, since one customer felt their preferences were ignored.
Request guidance. Ask for product and maintenance advice before leaving; reviewers found the styling recommendations useful for managing curls at home.
Consider buildup. If product buildup is the issue, ask whether the hair lab treatment suits you; one review says it left the scalp feeling lighter.

The Bottom Line
Twist Curly Hair Salon Dubai is a specialist curl salon in Al Barsha for people wanting a curly haircut, styling session or treatment rather than a standard blow-dry experience. Reviews repeatedly mention better definition, bounce and shape, including curls revived after years of colouring, straightening or damage. The salon also performs a hair lab treatment for product buildup, and customers describe leaving with a lighter-feeling scalp.
The strongest theme is education alongside the service. Reviewers say stylists assess curl pattern, texture and personal preferences, then explain how to style and maintain the result at home. Product recommendations and advice on using mousse were specifically praised.
The setting also gets consistent credit for being clean, modern, comfortable and welcoming, with at least one successful visit involving a seven-year-old’s hair. There is an important caveat for anyone protecting their length or requesting layers. Two customers said they received much shorter cuts than expected, while another reported thin, disconnected layers on tight curls and felt shrinkage was overlooked.
A separate review criticised gel-only styling and rough diffusing. Colour work deserves extra clarification too: one highlights customer paid 2K, then reported yellowing after the first wash and needed a last-minute tone before a wedding. Discuss length, shrinkage, technique and the exact colour target clearly before booking.
