The Good Stuff
Curly Hair
A reviewer with curly hair said the stylist understood how to handle both the difficult texture and the requested root colour.
Long Loyalty
One family has returned for 15–20 years for haircuts, highlights, colouring and blow dries, consistently leaving satisfied.
Head Massage
The wash-and-massage experience is a recurring highlight, with one customer calling the massage divine and another praising it as the best.
Humidity-Resistant Blow-Dry
A colour, highlight, treatment and blow dry reportedly stayed effective through Dubai’s humidity and heat.
Warm Atmosphere
Reviews describe the salon as clean, welcoming and comfortable, while another customer specifically called its design chic, clean and elegant.
Tips for a Better Visit
Allow Extra Time. If your hair is thick or curly, flag it when booking and request a longer slot so the service is not squeezed between appointments.
Clarify Treatment. Before booking a Kerastase treatment, ask exactly which products and finishing steps are included, as one customer expected a conditioner or mask.
Request Finish. If seeing the final colour fully styled matters to you, confirm that a proper blow-dry is included rather than a quick natural-curl dry.

Common Concerns
Time Pressure
A customer with thick, curly hair was not allocated extra time and left without the intended proper blow-dry after the colour service.
Booking Mix-Up
A customer who had discussed fringe extensions repeatedly was booked as though they only needed a haircut, creating a serious pre-flight time problem.
Treatment Dispute
One customer reported that a Kerastase treatment involved shampoo, spray, rinsing and blow-drying without conditioner or a mask, leaving hair very dry.
Uneven Cut
One review describes a requested layered cut becoming flat on top, bulky at the sides and visibly asymmetrical, requiring correction elsewhere.

The Bottom Line
Version Française is a Dubai Marina hairdresser with a wider beauty offering, but the strongest review evidence centres on colour, cuts and finishing. Customers book highlights, root colour, balayage, Kerastase treatments and blow dries, and several long-term clients return for monthly or multi-year appointments. Natural-looking colour is a recurring strength: one reviewer praised highlights that were “fresh, natural, and beautifully blended,” while another said a difficult colour correction became a success without damage.
The wash experience is part of the appeal. Reviews mention a divine head massage, a blow-dry that held up against Dubai’s humidity and heat, and a salon described as clean, chic and comfortable. Beauty services also appear in the feedback, including a well-liked teen facial and careful lash, manicure, pedicure and waxing appointments.
There are a few practical cautions. Experiences vary by stylist and service: one haircut was described as uneven and needing correction, while a Kerastase treatment left another customer’s hair unusually dry. Booking communication also failed around a fringe-extension appointment.
For thick or curly hair, ask for extra time; if you need extensions or a particular treatment finish, confirm availability and exactly what is included before arriving. A proper blow-dry may also need to be stated clearly at booking.
