Salon Ink is a ladies beauty salon on Al Wasl Road in Umm Suqeim 2, Jumeirah, and one of the longest-running independent salons in the area. It covers hair, nails, lashes, brows, threading, waxing, and facials, holds a 4.7 Google rating across 331 reviews, and sits in the mid to premium AED tier. Walk-in hours run roughly 9am to 9pm, closed Sunday.
What is Salon Ink?
Salon Ink is an independent ladies salon in Dubai, based at Villa 14 on Al Wasl Road in the Umm Suqeim 2 stretch of Jumeirah. It now trades under the Salon Ink 92 name after merging with Story 92, a sister beauty brand, so its website and social handles carry both names. The salon was founded by an Iraqi-Swedish owner and built around a Scandinavian-meets-Gulf service style.
It is a full-service venue rather than a single-treatment studio. Clients book it for hair colour and cuts, nail work, lashes and brows, and waxing under one roof. The Al Wasl location has kept a steady local following for years, which is why an ink hair salon Dubai search so often lands on this one name, and why most salon ink dubai reviews describe a regular-client relationship rather than a one-off visit.
Where Salon Ink is and how to find it
The salon sits on Al Wasl Road, the long arterial that runs parallel to Jumeirah Beach Road through the heart of old Jumeirah. The exact address is Villa 14, Al Wasl Road, Al Reef, Umm Suqeim 2. It is a villa-conversion salon, common in this part of Dubai, not a mall unit.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Area | Umm Suqeim 2, Jumeirah (Al Wasl Road) |
| Type | Ladies beauty salon |
| Google rating | 4.7 stars, 331 reviews |
| Hours | Around 9am to 9pm, Sunday closed |
| Parking | Street and villa-front parking on Al Wasl Road |
Al Wasl Road is well served for parking outside peak evening hours, and the nearest metro is a drive away, so most clients arrive by car or taxi. If you are searching for salon ink al wasl, this is the venue every listing points to. It sits among the cluster of villa-based ladies salon Umm Suqeim residents have used for years, a stretch known for independent beauty venues rather than chain branches.
What services Salon Ink offers
The salon runs the full ladies-salon menu rather than specialising in one treatment. Its core services, confirmed across its directory listings and booking pages, cover four groups.
- Hair: cuts, blow dry, hair colour, balayage, keratin and hair treatments, and hair extensions.
- Nails: manicure, pedicure, gel work, and nail art.
- Lashes and brows: eyelash extensions, brow shaping, and threading.
- Skin and waxing: facials and full-body waxing.
Hair colour and treatments are the services it is best known for locally. An older Emirates Woman treatment review singled out its colour work, and the salon still leans on imported professional product lines for hair, which is typical of the Jumeirah mid to premium tier. For hair-led visits, it competes with the wider field of hair salons across Dubai; for the full ladies-salon mix it sits in the beauty salons category.
What Salon Ink costs in Dubai
The salon prices in the mid to premium band for Jumeirah, which is normal for an Al Wasl Road villa venue with imported product lines. It does not publish a fixed public price list, so the figures below are typical Dubai ladies-salon ranges for the same services, useful as a guide before you call for a salon ink dubai price list.
| Service | Typical Jumeirah mid-tier price |
|---|---|
| Blow dry | AED 90 to 180 |
| Cut and style | AED 150 to 350 |
| Full-head colour or balayage | AED 350 to 900 |
| Gel manicure | AED 90 to 150 |
| Threading | From AED 30 |
As a rough guide, a blow dry at a Jumeirah mid-tier salon runs AED 90 to 180, a cut and style AED 150 to 350, and full-head colour or balayage AED 350 to 900 depending on length and product. Nails and threading sit at the lower end, with a gel manicure around AED 90 to 150 and threading from AED 30. Confirm the current figure with the salon when you book, since menu prices move.
Three things push the price up in this part of Jumeirah: villa rents on Al Wasl Road, imported professional product lines, and senior-stylist time on colour and treatments. That is why a brand like this one prices above a budget mall unit but below a five-star hotel spa. For colour and keratin in particular, the gap between a junior and a senior stylist is real, so ask who is doing the work before you book the slot.

How to book Salon Ink and what to expect
The salon takes bookings by phone and through its own website and social channels, and it appears on the usual Dubai booking platforms. Call ahead for hair colour or treatments, since those need a senior stylist and a longer slot; nails, threading, and waxing are easier to walk in for midweek.
Expect a villa-salon setting rather than a hotel spa: relaxed, ladies-only, with separate stations for hair, nails, and beauty. Thursday and Saturday evenings are the busiest, and a colour appointment can run two to three hours once consultation and processing are counted. As with every salon in the salonsindubai.ae directory, listed venues carry a valid licence, but you should still confirm the stylist and the quoted price before any chemical service.

How to choose a Jumeirah ladies salon
If Salon Ink is fully booked or you want to weigh it against alternatives, the same checks apply to any ladies salon in the Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim area.
- Match the specialism to your service. A salon known for colour is not automatically the best for nails or lashes; book the venue that is strongest in the treatment you actually want.
- Read recent reviews, not lifetime averages. A 4.7 rating built mostly on reviews from the last year tells you more than an old score; the directory’s ranking method weights review recency for this reason.
- Confirm the licence. A legitimate Dubai salon holds a DET trade licence and, where it offers health-adjacent treatments, sits within DHA wellness rules. The directory lists only licensed venues.
- Ask for the senior stylist by name for colour, keratin, or extensions, and confirm the product line.
- Get the price before the service starts, especially for hair, where length and product change the figure.
If a salon visit does not suit your schedule, a home massage in Dubai and other at-home beauty services cover the same Jumeirah and Al Wasl area, which is worth weighing against an in-salon booking.
