The Good Stuff
Blow-dry skill
A reviewer with very thick hair said the blow-dry turned out especially well, making this a useful service to consider.
Nail detail
One manicure-and-pedicure visit was praised for being done perfectly, with close attention to the small finishing details.
Calm setting
The salon is described as clean and not too noisy, which adds to the relaxed feel of a longer appointment.
Comfortable lashes
A lash customer reported no stinging, sticky lashes or red eyes during the appointment.
Hair treatments
The anti-frizz treatment was reported to show immediately, with hair feeling lighter and less frizzy after a few washes.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm colour. Before a root dye, confirm the target shade and exactly where colour will be applied; one customer said extra dye reached the rest of their hair.
Check nail wear. If nail longevity matters, ask what finish and upkeep to expect, as one reviewer reported peeling after two appointments.
Discuss waxing. For eyebrow waxing, mention skin sensitivity and ask about the technique beforehand; one visit caused a burn and inflammation.
Clarify lashes. Before lash work, discuss comfort and aftercare, since one customer reported their eyes became stuck shut during a visit.
Mention hair type. Tell the stylist if your hair is especially thick; a reviewer specifically highlighted the salon’s successful blow-dry on thick hair.
Ask together. If you want multiple treatments, ask whether they can be combined in one visit; a customer added keratin to a booked pedicure.

Popular Mentions
3D lash extensions
A customer specifically mentioned 3D lash extensions and said they loved the finished work.
Head spa
The head spa was paired with a manicure in one visit and described as part of a relaxing, pampering experience.
Keratin hair straightening
A keratin hair straightening treatment was said to leave hair smooth, with gentle handling and no unnecessary pulling.
Cat eye manicure
The cat eye manicure received specific praise as a detailed nail design.
Common Concerns
Nail durability
One customer said their nails peeled repeatedly after two visits, so longevity may be inconsistent.
Colour mismatch
A root-colour service left a noticeable red streak instead of the expected dark brown and required further corrective work.
Waxing burn
One eyebrow-waxing visit caused a burn, pain and inflammation that needed cream afterward.
Basic nails
A reviewer found the toenails uneven and said nail results did not last, especially beyond basic designs.

The Bottom Line
Vanilla Glow Beauty Salon is a Nad Al Sheba option for hair, nails and lashes, with reviews especially strong on blow-dries, relaxing hair washes, manicures and pedicures. Customers have also booked balayage, keratin hair straightening, anti-frizz treatments, eyebrow work and lash extensions, so it can cover a full getting-ready appointment rather than just one quick service. The atmosphere is a consistent draw.
Reviews describe the salon as clean, calm, fresh and not too noisy, with a relaxing wash that included a scalp massage. Tea, coffee and even a Cortado are mentioned, and one customer said the salon accommodated an additional keratin treatment alongside a booked gel-lac pedicure. There are some important quality caveats.
Nail durability is uneven: one customer reported repeated peeling, while another found toenail shapes inconsistent. An eyebrow-waxing review describes a burn and inflammation, and a hair-colour visit left a noticeable red streak after dye was applied beyond the roots. If booking colour, confirm the shade and application area clearly; for nails or waxing, discuss expectations and sensitivity first.
Lash feedback is mostly comfortable, but one reviewer said their eyes became stuck shut, so aftercare is worth clarifying.
