Getting the Look You Want with Volume Salon

Open for two years, Volume Salon in Dubai is a full service salon that not only takes care of your hair needs, but offers lash extensions, makeup, and expert nail care, alongside all other full beauty services.

A little back story: I am constantly changing my hair color and then end up sitting for hours on end in the salon chair. But here, owner, hair stylist, and makeup artist Svetlana Kurchatkina had a whole new approach in dealing with my hair.  As my hair was already a warm shade (which I did not like), she suggested we not use bleach, and instead use the shades that I already had in my hair and deftly improve upon it.

Svetlana spent a good amount of time discussing my lifestyle and needs—a vital step in ensuring the client is happy in their results. She applied a root color just to my crown to slightly darken it, and then explained she would apply another color to the back/ends to remove the heavy red tones that were showing, and to give a blended look.

Hair trends have certainly shifted and Svetlana explained that this year warmer colors like caramel, honey, chocolate, and shades of brown are very popular. And to give a quick change without damaging your hair, she suggested hair contouring whereby certain pieces of the hair are selected and highlighted to give the face a flattering look.

Svetlana shared her tips for optimal hair health as I waited for the color to process; to avoid pesky dandruff issues, after shampooing your hair, make sure you dry it one hundred percent before leaving the house or tying it up. Also, use cold water when washing your hair to maintain the color and to keep your scalp healthy. To stimulate your scalp, give yourself a massage while the shampoo is on for a minute to get the blood circulation going. Always invest in a good quality, professional shampoo, conditioner, and hair masque to maintain your color at home. Another important tip is to avail the new varieties of color hair masques at home to refresh our color and add gloss.

After my hair color had processed, we headed to the sink, where she shampooed, conditioned, and then applied a keratin hair masque as a treatment. Once it was all rinsed out, she gave me a flattering layered haircut and blow-dry. I had a new look which I loved, with minimal damage, and best of all, all within less than two hours.

The Verdict: For someone like me who is constantly changing hair colors, this was a dream come true. Svetlana worked with what I had and used it as a base to create the look I was after. For expert hair color and all other beauty services, check out Volume Salon in Dubai.
