VK Beauty Lounge & Bar Redefines Beauty

A premium salon featuring Greek inspired architecture located at Jumeirah Beach Residence, VK Beauty Lounge & Bar redefines beauty by offering a full spectrum of luxurious hair, make-up and nails treatments.

This is no ordinary hair salon; rather the white columns, huge space, and open stations emphasize the focus on European beauty. The best part is the dedicated color bar where clients can pick and choose their hair colors and have it mixed in front of them.

Anyone who knows me understands my trepidation towards blond hair in my hair, but celebrity stylist Kotsoni assured me that this is not any blond, but bronde—a bespoke Balayage, Ombre, and color all rolled into one. Instead of applying a cookie cutter one size fits all technique, she combines techniques depending on the face cut, complexion, lifestyle, and what the client is looking for.

Using Wella’s new Illumina ‘Wonder of Light’ range, she mixed color for my roots and base and added lots of Olaplex to ensure hair bonds would remain strong and in fact strengthen. Next, she painted my hair in certain areas to create the bronde effect to lift my hair by just two shades, giving a natural look. She used a board and foil alongside heat to boost the color and speed up the process. So some areas had Ombre, while Balayage added a naturally highlighted look.

After 30 minutes my hair was toned over the sink and I was given an Olaplex treatment. After some layers in my hair were refreshed, I had a brand new look. As an expert, Katerina advised three must- have hair products to maintain your hair health. One—a good quality shampoo to maintain your hair health as well as the color; next—ditch the conditioner and instead, invest in a good quality hair masque which will condition and nourish the hair from within. Lastly—a good quality dry oil for the hair which can be used as a heat protector, a serum, and as a finishing ampoule.

The Result: My hair was lightened and brightened without damage nor brassiness. If you really want high quality color and are looking for an expert who knows her color, add this salon to your speed dial.
