Beauty lovers residing in Al Barsha who are devoted to The Dollhouse Dubai, but can't bear to brave the Beach Road traffic every week, now have a reason to rejoice: the much-loved salon has opened a new branch, right in the neighborhood.
Located in Aswaaq Mall in Al Barsha South, the new Dollhouse is a short drive away from Arabian Ranches and Motor City, as well as JLT, Emirates Hills and Dubai Marina communities. It's a cozy adaptation of its mother branch in Jumeirah Ladies Club, and offers all of the same signature services, from Brazillian Blowouts to spray tanning and acrylic 3D nail art.
There's a true "dollhouse" ambiance to the salon — of course with an upscale Middle East flair — with its checkerboard floor, Missoni-inspired seats and gold baroque mirrors. Fuschia pink and veronica purple set the tone to the fit-for-royalty ambiance and clients are offered chocolates and lollipops in addition to the usual coffee and green tea refreshments.
In nail colours, Dollhouse has every shade under the rainbow covered. Photos of clients' manicures are posted on Instagram, tempting the salon's half a million followers to come try out the new nail trends. Reverse French manicures, icons including eyes, hearts, Chanel logos and crystals are current favourites.
A television screen facing the nail station shows hits including Black Swan and The Theory of Everything while nails are filed and painted, and a counter near the register displays some sought-after Huda Beauty products, including her range of embellished nails and false eyelashes. Also on sale are beauty blenders, flash tattoos, hair extensions and Redken hair products.
