The short answer
A blow-dry at Unique Persona starts at AED 170 at Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina and at AED 200 at Palm Jumeirah. Hair up at Dubai Marina is AED 350, AED 420 or AED 510, and Maestro Signature Styling is AED 350 to AED 510 at Dubai Marina and AED 420 to AED 610 at Palm Jumeirah.
Blow-dry is on the menu at all three salons. Occasion styling is not the same everywhere: Dubai Marina has hair up and signature styling, Palm Jumeirah has signature styling, and Downtown Dubai has hair up with the price confirmed when you book. Braids are on request at Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah.
What is on the styling menu?
Five services make up the styling side of the hair menu:
- Blow-dry, classic. Washed hair is dried with a dryer and a brush into a finished shape.
- Blow-dry, styling. The second, higher grade of blow-dry on every list.
- Hair up. The hair is gathered off the neck and pinned, as in a chignon, a bun or a twist.
- Maestro Signature Styling. The name Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah both use on their menus.
- Braids. Sections of hair plaited together.
The lists name each service and price it. They do not set out what a styling blow-dry adds over a classic one, or what goes into a signature style, so that is a question for the stylist when you book.
