I'm a SNOB girl

When it comes to salons in the Dubai and in the UAE as a whole, we are so spoilt for choice here. Beauty salons with their endless supply of products, experienced staff and services are getting better and better and the consumer here has a multitude of fabulous establishments to choose from. There are many reasons why people would choose a salon and make it their ‘go-to’. For me, it’s primarily location (Dubai is so busy with traffic on the roads), services provided, special offers and value for money. This is why I choose Snob in Arjan every time (there is also a location in Jumeirah) and enjoy my monthly visit to get my BIAB nails on and the odd hair treatment.

I love how Snob feels like a little local salon I would pop into at home. It’s small and quaint, the staff are so friendly and professional and it all just feels so chilled and relaxing.  You can book online literally in seconds on your phone or also send the Salon a WhatsApp to book whichever service you need.  They also offer different monthly ‘specials’ such as two services of your choice for a discounted price and also some add-ons, so you know you’re getting great value for what they provide.

Renowned Snob Salon with it’s two key locations in Jumeirah – on Al Wasl Road and Arjan was founded by UAE entrepreneur and all-round fabulous lady Haneen Odeh.  Along with providing services in hair, nails, eyebrows/lashes plus face and body (in both their Jumeirah and Arjan branches), Snob also sells fabulous skincare, body care and hair products from brands such as Davines, Viviscal, Milkshake and Orly.

I love getting BIAB nails done in Snob (I can highly recommend Heidi who is also fantastic at nail art).

What is BIAB? Basically, BIAB uses Builder in a Bottle – a gel-like nail polish, which is applied as an overlay on your natural nails.  It works very similarly to a normal gel polish, but as it has a thicker consistency it dries as a strong and durable layer – so you don’t have to worry about chipping your brand new nails.  The main difference between gel and BIAB is that BIAB lasts longer and is more durable than gel polish.  BIAB is applied to the natural nail with a layer 2-3 millimetres thick, while gel polish is applied to the nails as a thin layer.

This month I went for what I’ve decided to label as my ‘Euro Summer girl’ nails (see below).  It’s giving Greek islands, it’s giving the Balearic Islands, it’s giving Mamma Mia and it’s giving white dress on a summers evening on the Mediterranean sipping cocktails and I’m so here for it! I usually get my BIAB done every 4 weeks and as it’s been a couple of years now getting it done on my nails, I’ve had no problem and little to no damage.  I always feel more confident when I have my nails done and when I don’t have to do them myself or worry about them chipping and needing to change the polish etc.  Not having to worry about my nails is a luxury and something I would find very hard to give up.
