Tara Rose Salon
This award-winning salon has three branches around Abu Dhabi – Khalifa City, Marasy and Saadiyat – all offering a comprehensive list of services ranging from hair and nails to massages, facials and waxing. It’s well-known for its experienced hairstylists who really listen to their clients, which is why it makes this list of the best salons in Abu Dhabi. Be sure to keep an eye out for special offers, too. Tara switches them up monthly and previous deals have included 50 percent off all keratin treatments.
Open daily 9am-8pm. Khalifa City, Marasy and Saadiyat, tararosesalon.com.
House of Allure
Whether you’re in the market for a glamorous updo, wash and blow-dry or new blunt haircut, House of Allure does it all, and then some. These hair geniuses are responsible for some of the most creative colour transformations in the city, but they also know a good treatment when they see one. We recommend opting for Hair Botox. Don’t be intimidated by the name – it is a straightening system. Hair Botox is considered the lightest and least damaging protein treatment, and is highly effective at taming unruly locks. Looking for one of the best salons in Abu Dhabi? You’ve found one here.
Open daily 10am-9pm. Villa 256, Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street, houseofallurespa.ae (02 666 6317).
Glamour UAE
Experts in everything from bleaching to balayage, look no further than Glamour UAE for a complete hair overhaul. Colour is where the dream team really shines – whether that’s pretty pastels or statement-making bold hues, you’ve come to the right place. Our favourite shade of all has to be rose cappuccino for the name alone (check out their Instagram to see what we’re swooning about), but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The staff (cherry-picked by the very best in the business) always get it spot on. You can pop in to get your make-up, nails, brows and lashes done, too, so don’t be shy.
Al Zeina, Al Raha Beach and Khalidiya, Al Ain Tower, glamoursalonsuae.com (02 555 9902).
Bedashing Beauty
With more than 20 locations across the UAE, and a whopping 13 in Abu Dhabi alone, Bedashing Beauty covers all your beauty needs. Created for time-poor women on-the-go, its Bedashing chair and beds were designed with multiple treatments in mind – that means you can have a facial AND a mani/pedi at the same time. What better way to spend your day than at one of the best salons in Abu Dhabi?

Colorista
If you’re looking to change your hair colour to anything vibrant, rainbow-styled or just quite frankly dazzling (although they do great highlights and balayage, too), we suggest a trip to Colorista. Its expert stylists are knowledgeable and love a good chat. They cater to all hair types, so whether your hair is curly, straight or coily, you’ll leave with the hair transformation you deserve. Additionally, the Abu Dhabi salon offers a broad range of beauty services. Why not treat yourself to a neon mani to match your new locks?

A luxury destination for all things beauty and wellness, McQueen Spa and Beauty Salon is a favourite among influencers for its playful manicures, sleek haircuts and full body treatments in a calming space. Be sure to try the new hibiscus mask which utilises the popular herb to treat hair fall, promote regrowth and prevent premature greying. They even serve iced coffee alongside their treatments – what’s not to love?
