Hello Everyone,

Looking for a quick blow dry for your hair or a trendy braid and updos. Then go on and read this blog. Today I am writing about my experience in BE BAR Blow Dry Bar. This salon is located at Jumeirah Beach road. And I think it has the cutest entrance door. There is no way you cannot spot the Turquoise door while you drive down. Have a look at the below picture.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a beautiful cozy corner on your right-hand side and stairs to go up to the salon and the reception. The salon is decorated throughout with the signature colors of white and turquoise, is stunning, with plenty of natural light and contemporary interiors. The layout of the salon is unique since they have the bar-style round stations with mirrors where the clients are seated around during their services. One of the walls is this old vintage looking brick wall with light airy curtains and 3-side mirror. I love the way they put up their inspiring taglines on all the walls. One of which was my favorite “Be You. Shine True.”

About the salon, Be Bar is Dubai’s premier hair styling salon specializing in a range of blow-dry styles, updos, braids, intensive scalp and hair treatments and nails. This salon does not offer any haircut or hair color. They have a very interesting menu for their Blow dry services with lots of inspirational styles shown on an iPad. After seeing all their styles, I opted for BE BEACHY, which is, messy waves giving off a relaxed and beachy vibe. Before the stylist could start my service, she gave me a beverage menu, which had amazing options. While sipping my coffee the stylist very calmly blow-dried my hair in sections before curling with an iron and pinning each curl close to my head to cool. She then brushes out the curls and pins them into place before liberally spritzing with hairspray.

The end result was just so surprising. I never liked curls on my hair since I have short hair but this was just so shocking. The beachy waves looked so naturally done and I kid you not the blow dry stayed for more than 2 days.

Pros

  • The staff was very friendly and experienced.
  • They use good products and heat protection spray before.
  • The salon has a relaxing vibe and it’s a pleasant place to be.
  • They sell some amazing products from Bando.

Cons

  • There’s nothing I did not love about this salon.

Location: Be Bar, Villa 594, Jumeirah Beach Road, Umm Suqeim 1 (04 321 2348).

 

 

 

 

Hello Everyone,

Want to get smooth and soft hair? Looking for insurance for your hair? Then go on reading.

I got my hair colored 5 months back and off late my hair started to feel very dry and frizzy due to the heat in Dubai. I usually don’t get any hair treatments done here in Dubai since I prefer India and the hair specialist there. But then I came across this Olaplex treatment at The Artist Beauty Lounge in Dubai. I immediately messaged Reshu who happens to be the Owner of this beautiful salon and cleared all my doubts regarding the treatment. After contemplating I finally booked an appointment and decided to go for it.

The Artist Beauty Lounge is a cute little salon located in Oud Metha. It’s a signature beauty lounge by Makeup Artist and Beauty Expert Reshu Malhotra.

Coming to the treatment, let me give you a bit of information. Olaplex is a simple three-step process, includes a patented active ingredient that works on a molecular level to seek out broken bonds in the hair that are caused by chemical, thermal, and mechanical damage. You can use Olaplex to restore compromised hair or add it to another service to provide the ultimate breakage insurance.

Olaplex is a three-part treatment, the first two of which have to be done in a salon. Nevilles, in the heart of the glossy Belgravia in London, was the first salon in the UK to stock it so now more than anyone its revolutionary qualities. Having color-damaged hair myself (a salon back in India once turned me away and refused to do my highlights because it was so bad – a real low point), I was intrigued to see if it lived up to the hype, so I popped into getting the almighty Olaplex.

It works in three steps, here’s how:

  1. Olaplex Number 1: This concentrated first salon step rebuilds broken disulfide bonds and begins the process of preventing damage and repairing hair. Bond Multiplier is used as a stand-alone treatment. It was put on my hair and kept for 10 minutes.
  2. Olaplex Number 2: The second salon step continues to rebuild and restore any remaining broken bonds ensuring the strongest, shiniest, and healthiest hair possible. Bond Perfector is then put on the hair and this is left on for a good 25 minutes to really get the most out of its chemical mending.
  3. Olaplex Number 3: Hair Perfector is where you take things into your own hands. The third step is a take home treatment, which is recommended to use once a week. Apply to damp hair, comb through, and leave on for a minimum of 10 minutes at home before washing as normal. If you want to maximize the effect, leave it on overnight.

So the first and second step was done at the salon. Rani, the lady who did my treatment was very sweet and explained me all the steps before doing it. After the final wash and blow dry, I kid you not my hair became soooooo SOFT and silky. My hair felt genuinely smoother and looked far less frazzled than it did when I walked in. You can tell why they’re calling it insurance for your hair. I was really amazed by the way my hair turned out to be. Check out my picture below and see the difference.

This treatment is really worth doing it and it’s quietly affordable. It costs around 250 AED and the 3rd step is for 100AED for you to take it home. Reshu, the sweetest person also recommended me to repeat this treatment after a month in order to get the best results. It’s been two weeks I got this treatment done and I can’t stop touching my soft hair.
