STAY AWAY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
Think twice before going to this salon, especially if booking with the owner, Abigail!! She only cares about the payment and not the customers.
I had previously visited this salon twice and booked with Abigail. Although she was never present, I was never notified, and if you book with a specific “specialist,” you should be notified if there are any changes in your booking. However, those two visits were okay thanks to the other staff members. I initially came here because my regular brow technician at another salon had stopped working, so I was looking for a new place in Dubai.
This time, I specifically asked to book with the owner, Abigail — and it turned out to be one of the rudest and most unpleasant salon experiences I’ve had in Dubai.
When I arrived for my 14:00 appointment, I was looked at like “what are you doing here.” So I politely offered to wait 20 minutes when informed of a delay, not even a thank you or acknowledgment.
When the treatment started (eyebrow lamination, tint & shape), I was never once asked how I like my eyebrows. I showed her a photo of myself as a reference, which was completely ignored.
Instead, I was insulted, being told that one eyebrow is “much higher than the other” and asked if I had Botox before (I have never had Botox). This was shocking, especially since I’ve been getting my eyebrows professionally done every two months for the past 8 years with professionals, including at this same salon with her employees, who did not insult me or act rude, and no one has ever had an issue with eyebrow mapping. I even went home and measured, my eyebrows are symmetrical.
When I tried to point out that the tint looked uneven and asked for it to be fixed, she was more focused on talking to a friend than listening. She was annoyed that I was even asking and attempted to fix it with no interest, but clearly didn’t understand the issue, so I eventually asked her to remove the tint completely.
She made me pay full price, which I am happy to pay as thankfully I will never go there again. She clearly saw I was upset and did not even say sorry or apologize..nothing! Unfortunately, the tint was removed so poorly that my skin was stained about 1 cm above my eyebrow hairs. Thankfully, this should fade within a day, but this is absolutely not acceptable. I kindly suggest using glasses, as they can be used to see more clearly how to map out eyebrows and it is never good to insult customers. It is also interesting that no one else has had an issue doing eyebrow mapping over the past 8 years of me doing my eyebrows (I do my eyebrows every two months). So if everyone else could get it done, so I do not understand why she could not.
I want to note that Noor, one of the employees I visited previously, was kind and did her best. This review is not about the staff in general, but specifically about the owner’s (Abigail’s) behavior and lack of professionalism.
Insulting customers, ignoring feedback, and prioritizing personal conversations over service is unacceptable. In Dubai, salons that do not care about their clients rarely last long.
I will never return, and can't recommend anyone going here.
