Update: Came back recently for a touch-up on my Japanese hair straightening and had another amazing experience. Nanako is always so sweet, careful, and thorough with my hair, and I always leave really happy with the result. The quality of the service is consistently so good, which is why I keep coming back whenever I’m in Dubai.
I also have to mention the sweetest lady at reception. She’s always so kind, attentive, and accommodating, and really makes sure I’m taken care of throughout the appointment. Everyone is so welcoming and professional, and the whole experience always feels very smooth and well taken care of.
They also knew I was flying back the same day and did their best to keep everything moving efficiently for me, which I really appreciated. Another great visit as always 🤍
Original Review: I had Japanese hair straightening done here and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. I came in completely exhausted after a delayed flight and a long, stressful car rental situation, and even arrived late, but the staff were so kind, patient, and welcoming.
My stylist was incredibly gentle and attentive throughout the process, especially during the wash and prep stages. The scalp cleansing was done so carefully, and she constantly made sure I was comfortable. The experience honestly felt calming and restorative, which I really needed that day. She even finished with a lovely scalp massage that made everything feel extra thoughtful and relaxing.
Both staff members were so professional, warm, and accommodating, and never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable despite how tired I was. I left feeling refreshed, taken care of, and absolutely in love with my hair. Highly recommend if you want both beautiful results and genuinely great service.

I had my second appointment with Nanako yesterday, and just like the first time, from hair washing to styling, the entire experience was amazing. Nanako is extremely professional and very mindful of the needs of her clients. I definitely recommend her to anyone without any reservation. Xox

I honestly don’t say this lightly, but Nadeshiko has been life-changing for me. I only discovered this salon after asking ChatGPT for recommendations for salons that treats asian hair, and after my experience with Nanako, I already know this will be my go-to salon from now on.
I’ve spent such a long time searching for a hairstylist I could genuinely trust. Unfortunately, I’ve had so many bad experiences elsewhere—appointments that felt rushed, aggressive brushing and handling that left me feeling like I lost more hair than I came in with, painful washing, water that was far too hot, and blow-dryers used at such extreme heat that I was constantly worried about damage. Hair appointments had honestly become something I felt anxious about rather than something relaxing.
Nanako completely changed that for me. She was unbelievably gentle, careful and attentive from beginning to end. At one point during the head massage, I genuinely almost teared up because I couldn’t believe how good and comforting the experience was. For the first time in a long time, I felt like my hair and scalp were actually being treated with care.
I was very impressed and you can really feel the difference when someone respects the condition of your hair and takes pride in what they do. I felt completely safe in her hands, which means so much to me after my previous experiences.
I’m genuinely so grateful and happy I found this salon. Thank you Nanako!!

I have fine, straight hair and usually struggle to find salons in Dubai that understand how to work with my hair type, but I decided to give this salon a try and I'm glad that I did.
Atmosphere:
The salon has a very Muji-inspired aesthetic that's calm, cozy, and relaxing. I also appreciate that they're considerate of Muslim clients who require a private space. Just make sure to book in advance so they can accommodate your request.
Location:
The salon is a little hidden, and finding the entrance can be tricky. The parking entrance is also quite narrow, so it may take a bit of maneuvering.
Hairdresser:
The hairstylist really took the time to understand the look I was going for. They listened to my vision, considered my face shape and hair type, and did their best to achieve exactly what I had in mind.
Service:
I only booked the haircut and hair wash, but the experience felt so much more luxurious than I expected. The head spa was incredible—from the relaxing scalp massage to the warm towel sauna and eye mask. It was my first time experiencing something like that, and it made the appointment feel incredibly relaxing.
Overall Rating: 4/5 ⭐
The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because of the location, but aside from that, I genuinely think it's worth the visit. If you're looking for a relaxing experience with stylists who actually listen to what you want, I'd definitely recommend giving this salon a try.

The experience was top class, as expected from Japanese salon. Very high quality. Nanako-san provided me the service, very nice and very kind.
