Choosing the Best Korean Hair Salons in Dubai

1. Miyoshi Hair & Beauty
| RATING | |
| FACILITIES | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| SALON SERVICES | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| EXPERTISE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| VARIETY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |

Offering a wide range of different beauty and hair treatments, Miyoshi Hair salon is possibly the most well-known Korean-style hairstyle service here in Dubai.
They’re known for actually employing Koreans in order to do the salon’s services, capable of executing many different styles and services with ease. They can give haircuts, digital perm treatments, and color treatments to their clients.
Their salon is quite impressive as well. It’s very clean and they all seem to carry the latest beauty products and creams used in some high-end salons operating in Korea.
Stylists are very knowledgeable as well, which we think makes them perfect for first-time visitors. You can either show a reference for the look you want or ask them for advice on which style suits your overall look best.
Regardless of the option you go for, many clients walk away quite satisfied with the service, whether it be colour treatments, a simple haircut, or a more time-consuming digital or Korean perm.
There’s a few points of improvements we’d like to see however. For one, we did find that it takes at least two or three tries before someone picks up everytime we tried calling ahead.
Lastly, we also recommend prospective clients to visit early. Due to the shop’s popularity, it wasn’t unusual to encounter long lines when visiting during the afternoon on weekdays.
Overall, Miyoshi Hair and Beauty definitely stands out as one of the best Korean hair salons here in Dubai. We definitely recommend giving them a visit for all your hair styling needs.
Pros
- Impressive range of different hair services
- Very knowledgeable stylists
Cons
- Some delay in phone service when calling ahead
- Weekday afternoons can be quite crowded

Overall, we think the service, packages, and the products used does make the whole trip to this salon worth it.
After all, we did find some difficulties locating the shop during our first visit. It also doesn’t help that we couldn’t quite get good instructions when we tried calling on the phone to ask for directions.

The straightforward name explains it all. Korean Digital Perm is a rather comfortable and professional place for people to get their hair stylings and modifications done.
The salon offers a wide variety of services starting from simple haircuts, to more complex digital perms, threading, hair colouring, and even nail art here in Dubai.
They have a well-maintained, clean, and cozy facility, even if it’s not exactly the biggest salon we’ve visited so far. Staff are quite active in keeping the area clean as well so you shouldn’t worry about mess affecting the ambiance.
Stylists are highly knowledgeable when it comes to Korean hair trends as well. When it comes to haircuts, threading, and digital perms, you can count on them to suggest the latest styles straight from Seoul.
And as per their business name, they specialise in providing digital perm services here. Most clients we’ve spoken to are quite happy with the results of their visit.
There’s a few minor obstacles to a perfect score though. For one, we did have a bit of a hard time locating the salon during our initial visit in Oud Metha.
Another is that prices are quite high due to the quality of imported products they use in their services. Budget-oriented clients may want to compare their options first before committing to an appointment.
Overall, Korean Digital Perm in Dubai is one competent provider when it comes to Korean styles. Definitely check them out if you’re in need of a new style to rock these coming months.
Pros
- Great digital perm application
- Great array of other services like nail art
Cons
- Prices are quite high for most services
- Takes some time to locate the area

| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★★ (5/5) |

While technically a Japanese-inspired salon, Salon Nadeshiko does offer the same services at the same level of expertise that you can expect from an actual Korean hair salon.
They offer a versatile selection of haircuts and styles as well as the usual requests like smoothing, digital perm, and even keratin treatments. They provide hair colouring services too from roots, highlights, to a full replacement.
Stylists are all polite and professional. They were very warm when welcoming guests and they managed to maintain good communication all throughout the process.
They’re quite good at executing cuts and colours too, managing to follow the style guides most customers give them. Also, they use good quality products; even a few shampoos and colours that you will also find in most Korean salons.
The salon itself is also quite pleasant. Everything was kept clean and quiet while providing enough lighting without it feeling too overwhelming.
Guests attest to even falling asleep at the lengthier parts of the process (such as shampooing).
Prices are quite high though and they’re definitely on the upper end among the many hair salons in Dubai. However, we think their level of care and good results do justify the price somewhat.
So if you’re on the hunt for the typical services found in Korean hair salons in Dubai, we definitely recommend checking out Salon Nadeshiko as a nice alternative.
Pros
- Great treatments and styles
- Very versatile selection of products used
Cons
- Technically a Japanese salon
- A little on the pricey side

| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |

Red Velvet Salon is a business offering great beauty services in the Oud Metha area in Dubai. Nestled in a rather popular building, you should be able to spot their storefront without much difficulty.
They have a wide range of beauty treatments covering hair, skin, and even some body treatments. Hair services alone have a lot more styles and treatments available compared even to some specialised hair salons in Dubai.
You can get services like hair colouring, digital perm, haircuts, rebonding, Brazilian keratin treatments, and many others.
Their stylists were quite knowledgeable, polite, and friendly. While the place isn’t advertised as a Korean hair salon, they were still up-to-date with the latest styles straight from Seoul.
We think you can count on them for your digital perm styling, hair colouring, and threading needs without worrying about durability and accuracy to your reference.
Now they are very thorough with treatment, so you’ll definitely take some time to finish up. You might want to come in early to avoid a long line when you visit the salon.
Phone service is also quite slow, with the shop taking around twenty to thirty minutes before they can respond to our questions.
Still, if you don’t necessarily mind the lack of ‘Korean’ in the branding, then Red Velvet is still a great choice here in Dubai. We definitely recommend giving them a visit for whenever you need a digital perm or a new hair colour.
Pros
- Impressive array of hair services and treatments
- Very skilled and knowledgeable stylists
Cons
- Treatment takes some time to finish
- Some delays when calling ahead on the phone
