Colour That Looks
Painted by the Sun.

Elaris Beauty Salon is rated 4.8★ on Google (300+ reviews) and 4.8★ on Fresha (200+ reviews), and is recognised as one of Dubai’s premier destinations for balayage and ombré. Our Wella-certified colour specialists work across four locations — Business Bay, Jumeirah 1, Jumeirah 3, and The Village Mall — and carry out a thorough base and undertone assessment before every appointment.

The distinction at Elaris is the consultation-first process. We do not copy reference photos wholesale — we use them as a starting point and adapt the technique to your specific hair, face, and lifestyle. The result is colour that feels personal rather than generic. All bookings via WhatsApp at +971 58 697 1090 — five-minute response guaranteed.

One of balayage’s most practical advantages is its low-maintenance grow-out. Most clients return every three to five months — significantly less frequently than a traditional root touch-up or highlight appointment. Because the colour starts below the root and blends softly, there is no harsh demarcation line as the hair grows.

In Dubai’s UV-heavy climate, colour can lighten or shift slightly faster than in cooler environments. Using a colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and UV-protective styling products will protect the result significantly between visits. Your specialist will advise on a home care routine at your appointment.

Yes — and balayage is often one of the most flattering ways to gradually transition out of a solid colour or begin introducing lightness to previously treated hair. The freehand application means the colourist can work selectively, targeting the areas that will lift most cleanly without over-processing sections of the hair that are already compromised.

For hair that has been significantly darkened by artificial colour, achieving the desired lightness may require more than one session — this is something your specialist will discuss honestly at your consultation. We will never promise a result in a single appointment that would require compromising your hair’s health to achieve.

Balayage involves lightening, which is a chemical process and carries some level of impact on the hair. The degree of that impact depends on how many levels of lift are required, the starting condition of your hair, and what conditioning and toning treatments are applied after the colour.

At Elaris, we assess hair health before any colour appointment and include conditioning treatments — using natural, vegan-friendly formulations — to protect and restore the hair after lightening. For clients whose hair is already compromised, we may recommend a strengthening treatment such as K18 before or alongside the colour service to minimise the impact and maximise the result.

Balayage is a freehand sweeping technique that creates soft, scattered dimension. Babylights use very fine, close-set foil sections to create extremely subtle, diffused lightness — mimicking the fine highlights of childhood hair. The result is softer and more delicate than standard balayage.

Air Touch is the most technically advanced option — a blow-dryer is used to remove fine, short hair from each section before lightening, creating the seamlessly blended, shadow-root result that has become one of the most sought-after colour techniques available. All three services are available at Elaris, and your specialist will help you identify which suits your hair and goal at your free consultation.
