Lighten Up for Spring

With round the clock deadlines and a busy schedule, my hair looked neglected with my old color faded into a dull, orangey mess. I definitely needed a serious pick-me-up boost for my tresses.     

So I headed out to The Dollhouse Salon in The Dubai Ladies Club in Jumeirah; a kitsch, hip, but very trendy space. Workstations are multi-functional, purple chairs, chevron black and white checked floors, and gold mirrors’ all add to the eclectic glam look.  

I was pleased to learn that Jane, the senior stylist in charge of my hair, was very experienced in color and highlights and she assured me that I would get a style that would suit my hectic lifestyle as well as a look that would match my warm olive skin tone.  

After assessing my hair, she opted to use a base color number 7 which was a light blond brown. The babylights would be done in caramel. While I was expecting a long and arduous treatment, I was pleasantly surprised when she told me that she would do both the base color and foil highlights together—which would save time.

Once the color was ready, she applied toner to blend my hair color as well add a wonderful glossy sheen to my hair. She also applied a Kerastase hair mask to prevent any potential damage done by the peroxide in the highlight solution. After 10 minutes with everything washed out and an intensive blow-dry, I was delighted to see a new look that was completely different than the drab two-toned look I had when I had first entered the salon. The color was rich and done in a medium brown that matched my eyes and the baby lights gave my entire face a glow and were subtly done and gave depth to my hair.  

Final Verdict:  A fabulous place where luxury meets individual modern style with excellent cutting edge treatments and courteous staff.
