Beauty Options in Dubai
In a city where appearance is everything, both men and women spend a lot of time, money and energy on looking good. When it comes to spas, hairdressers and nail salons, men and women are separated by law.
Nails are professionally manicured and as sandals are worn frequently, pedicures are another must. Expat women keep up-to-date with the latest colors of nail varnish whereas local women, for cultural and religious reasons, keep their nails polish free. Hair is regularly style and blow-dried and eyebrows are carefully threaded into shape. Facials are common place and botox is all the rage. A wide range of different types of massage are available at relatively reasonable prices. The high demand means that you should always book ahead to avoid disappointment.
