The booking process was easy and straightforward. The whole team was kind and friendly. Maja did an amazing job with my color. We had a nice discussion over things I can do better at home to love my hair more. Very very happy with my hair..Maja is so sweet, she took into account what was important for me and what I want for my hair and made it came true in color. My hair fairy godmother 🥰

I had the Organic Botox hair treatment at Maria Dowling Salon in Dubai on the 19th of November and I can honestly say I am still feeling the benefits. Maya, who did my treatment, recommended it after assessing my hair, and I am so glad I trusted her advice, it worked extremely well. The anti-frizz results have been amazing, and my hair feels healthier, smoother, and much more manageable even weeks later. Maya was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced, which made the whole experience even better. I will definitely be going back for my follow up treatment in the near future and highly recommend both the salon and Maya. Alma Egan

My experience was truly amazing. From the very first moment, I felt comfortable and well taken care of. The entire team is extremely professional, kind, and genuinely wonderful. I would especially like to thank Maya — she is incredibly talented, patient, and so sweet. She took great care of me and worked with so much attention and care until she gave me the most beautiful colour. Thank you all so much for the effort and hard work. It was a lovely experience, and I’m truly very happy. Wishing you continued success always 🤍

I had a fantastic experience at this salon! I came in for a complete hair color change and the results were absolutely amazing — even better than I expected. The entire team was warm, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. A special thank you to Dani, who is honestly the best stylist I’ve ever been to. She listened carefully, gave great advice, and worked with such precision and care. I’m so happy with the outcome and will definitely be back! Highly recommend this salon for anyone looking for top-quality service and a talented, friendly team!

I’ve been seeing Maya at Mariadowling Salon for a while, and I can’t recommend her enough! She takes care of all my long hair needs and always does an amazing job with highlights, haircuts, and blow-dries. I always leave feeling great. She also gives excellent tips on maintaining healthy hair and even hair growth, which have really worked for me. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your hair, Maya is the one!

I loved the service with Karly or something like that. I can't recall her name, but back in 2018, she had the best hair color I've ever seen. Then in 2025, she booked again for a color, but she left the salon and was matched with another stylist who suggested things I didn't like. Like giving me a golden baby microlight.

I’ve been going to Maya for about a year now, and she is truly an expert at what she does. I had worn a bob for a long time, but she suggested a new style that frames my face beautifully and suits my hair’s natural texture. The cut is easy to maintain and style, and she also took the time to show me how to style it properly, which I really appreciated. I’m pleased with the result and highly recommend her!

I couldn’t be happier that I found this salon! My hair was very damaged and dull before, and I honestly didn’t think it could look healthy again. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. Maja worked on my hair, and I can truly say she has magic in her hands. She gave me a beautiful haircut and the perfect color, and now my hair feels alive again – soft, shiny, and full of life. Not only did she transform my hair, but she also made the whole experience so enjoyable with her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. I left the salon not only with gorgeous hair but also feeling so much more confident and happy. I highly recommend this salon to anyone who wants their hair to be treated with real care and expertise. Thank you, Maja, for bringing my hair back to life!

The “Maria Dowling” name clearly no longer stands for what it once did. This salon thrives on the illusion of prestige — a name built years ago, now used to lure trusting clients into a deeply mismanaged, indifferent, and reputation-abusing operation. I came in after carefully planning weeks ahead from Europe, transparently sharing my needs, timeline, and expectations. I was treated not with care, but with casual disregard. A botox treatment was sold to me with one set of rules, only to be redefined later for the salon’s own convenience. When I flagged this, I wasn’t met with professionalism — I was met with gaslighting. Apparently, when a high-paying, well-informed client follows your protocol, the appropriate response is to shift the blame, deny what was said, and suggest they misunderstood. Convenient. Disgraceful. There is zero accountability here. Zero consistency. And zero respect for the kind of client this brand still pretends to serve. Maria Dowling may once have meant something. Today? It’s a hollow name stamped on cold replies, careless execution, and the slow erosion of trust. I feel misled. I feel exploited. And yes — I feel cheated. The fact that this salon still trades on its founder’s name is a disservice to everything that name used to stand for.

Had the most amazing experience at this salon to prepare for my engagement party. Maya is SO talented, and is just such an amazing human with the best vibes. I’ve been trusting Maya for about 3 years now with my long curly hair, she never disappoints and always does the best thing for me. She’s amazing at color, highlights, and cuts for curly hair. I always leave her with the best color, hair as soft as a baby and with the best mood. It’s clear she’s passionate about what she does and her work. It’s really not easy to find such a dedicated stylist that ticks every box. The entire experience was so much fun, and the environment is like you’re surrounded by your besties. (They also have AMAZING coffee omg)! Also Lynn is gave me the best hair wash and scalp massage I’ve ever had. I was seriously falling asleep during my wash. (I also got the clay hair detox and I highly recommend it. Removes so much buildup from products which happens so often when you use curly hair products) Thank you for the amazing experience 😍❤️ can’t wait to be back for wedding prep 😍

Such a wonderful hair transformation experience. Got balayage on my virgin hair. Caley, my hair stylist, is very knowledgeable, she understood all my hair concerns and worked really well to achieve the desired outcome. Also, Cathy, one of the staff members is very polite and helpful. Secondly, this place just won my heart with its warm and homely vibes. Thanks Maria it was a pleasure talking to you. You are truly amazing!

This is my second time here, doing a botox hair treatment with Maya. I haven’t loved my hair my whole life before that treatment. Maya has a very good experience, and the botox treatment is more hair curing than straightening, not like other protein treatments.

Dani is amazing at taking care of your Blonde Girl needs! Excellent at Highlights and color.. Highly recommend ! She is my go to Girl!

Fantastic experience. Maya was lovely, professional and informative. I left feeling like a new person. Thank you Maya.

I’ve been going to Maya for over 5 years now and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. She always takes her time, really looks at my hair, and gives the best advice based on what’s actually healthy and realistic never just telling me what I want to hear. I’ve been blonde for years, and before I found Maya, every salon I went to left my hair damaged from harsh products. With her, it’s been the complete opposite. My hair is healthy, the colour is always exactly what I want, and I leave feeling so happy every time. I highly recommend Maya if you’re looking for someone who truly knows what they’re doing and cares about your hair!!

I came yesterday to do my hair balayage, the environment of the salon is so friendly and warm the reception the staff and everyone working their made me sure to feel welcomed and comfortable and their experts specialists are amazing Maya did my hair and I loved my result and took about 50 pictures from how happy I was 😂😂

I’ve been going to Maya for over 3 years now, and she is truly the best! Every time I sit in her chair, I know I’m in good hands. She always gets my vision just right—whether it’s a fresh cut, a balayage, or both, she nails it every single time. Maya has a real eye for detail and knows exactly what I’m asking for, even when I struggle to explain it. I always leave feeling confident and so happy with the results. She’s not just talented—she’s consistent, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist who really gets it! 💇‍♀️✨

I have been seeing Maria for over 10 years for my colour. She is the absolute best. Aside from her unmatched skill and lovely relaxed nature, the salon is perfectly set up for post-pandemic hygiene and social distancing with temperature checks, limited numbers of stylists and clients, constant cleaning and masks and gloves. Despite the restrictions, Maria and her team have made the experience as close to normal and relaxing as possible. I am quite happy to forego nails and waxing (hello husband's razor) right now, but there is nothing like a fresh cut and colour to feel lovely again (and it's not something I'd attempt without Maria!). Thank you, Maria and your amazing team, for working so hard and considerately to help your clients stay safe and feel beautiful at this time, we are so grateful.

Dani was amazing at taking her time to listen to the history of my hair journey. Amazing at helping me reach my goal to grow healthy longer hair. Thank you. Miss you and your great business Maria. So glad I made the call. Grateful.

I came here for the first time and I have had one of the best experiences! Dani did my hair colouring and it turned out beautifully. She also gave me the best advice for my hair. Thank you so much Dani 😀.
