Facial at home in Al Barsha

Evenings and early mornings

Every day from 8am to 10pm. A late session can end as late as 1am. In Al Barsha, two windows are popular: mid-morning after the school run, and evenings after children are in bed. Weekends suit couples taking turns, one facial after another. Every day from 8am to 10pm. A late session can end as late as 1am. A session that ends after 10pm costs AED 100 extra per booking.

Family life and an hour for you

For many families in Al Barsha, the week runs on a timetable: school, work, activities, the weekly shop near the mall, visits to relatives. An appointment at a salon means traffic and childcare. A facial at home means neither. You can book it for the gap between drop-off and pick-up, or once the house has gone quiet at night.

Choose a facial for how you want to feel afterwards. If your skin looks dull, a brightening facial is a cheerful choice. If it feels tight from air conditioning, the Hydra Glow Facial is gentle and easy. If you mainly want to rest, Kobido or the Volume Restore Facial spend more time on massage.

Tell your aesthetician what you would like from the hour, whether that is clean skin, a brighter look or simply rest, and the facial is shaped around it. Every facial is for one person, so the hour belongs to you alone.

Villas, apartments and hotel stays

Al Barsha has a real mix of homes: villas behind walls in Al Barsha 2 and 3, apartment blocks in Al Barsha 1 and Al Barsha South, and hotels and hotel apartments around the Mall of the Emirates. The facial adapts to each. Before your aesthetician arrives:

Whichever kind of home you have, the facial follows the same pattern. Your aesthetician brings the treatment table, skincare and towels, sets up where the light is good, and packs everything away at the end. A villa guest room or a closed bedroom keeps the hour calm while the rest of the household carries on; in a hotel room, moving a chair aside is usually enough.

• In a villa, share the villa number and street, and any gate instructions.
• In an apartment, add the building name, entrance and flat number.
• In a hotel, check with reception that visitors are welcome, and add the room number.
• Choose a room with good light and set the air conditioning to comfortable.

Before Eid, weddings and weekend plans

Family occasions are a common reason to book in Al Barsha. For the best result on the day, plan deeper facials a few days ahead and gentle ones the day before. During Ramadan, many people prefer facials after iftar or later in the evening; the same hours and prices apply all year.

If you are buying for someone else, a gift card covers any massage or facial. Living nearer the park and the golf course? See facials in Dubai Hills. And for a facial that stays gentle the day before a big event, read our guide on a facial before an event.

Busy seasons fill up quickly, so it helps to book a few days ahead. If several family members want facials before the same occasion, make a booking for each person and ask for back-to-back times at the same address. Each person can choose a different facial.
