  • <b>Gentlemen’s grooming</b>
<br>
<br>
There is no reason for guys in Dubai to be anything less than impeccably groomed. Unlike other places in the world, men’s beauty is taken seriously here, and it’s quite common to catch a bloke with a set of perfectly manicured paws and flawless skin. The metrosexual trend has caught a hold of the male popular with an iron fist – something us ladies are happy about!
  • <b>Get back to nature</b>
<br>
<br>
With all the advances in beauty and spa technology, it’s easy to overlook the natural treatments that worked so well for our ancestors. Explore the ancient arts of ayurveda, acupuncture, pranic healing, reiki and meditation, rather than going for chemical-based relaxation.
  • <b>Stretch out the stress</b>
<br>
<br>
Yoga has gained popularity around the world over the past few years, and it’s a trend that has caught a firm hold on Dubai’s population. For fitness, health, or relaxation, classes held around the city are available throughout the day to suit everyone’s schedules.
  • <b>Go alternative</b>
<br>
<br>
The Middle East has a wide variety of locally cultivated beauty treatments, such as the Moroccan bath, Hammam and Rasul. These sessions are quite possibly the ultimate in pampering, as they often require little more than for you to lie back while your attendants get to work on relaxing and reviving you into shape!
  • <b>Mani/Pedi perfection</b>
<br>
<br>
How can you come up with an excuse for those fingers and toes not to gleam, when there are so many good nail salons in Dubai? Book yourself in a buff and polish, get a bit of French action going on or be brave enough to try the ultra-soothing hot wax treatment.
  • <b>Get coiffed</b>
<br>
<br>
Eighties icon, Lady LovelyLocks, will have nothing on you, once you’re done with all the top salons that Dubai has to offer. Top tints, divalicious dye-jobs, superb styling – you’ll get it all and more, and the best bit is that you’ll be able to get coiffed whatever your budget.
  • <b>Shop till you drop</b>
<br>
<br>
If there is one thing that Dubai is famous for, it’s the incredible shopping on offer and thanks to the amazing malls in the city, there is nothing that you won’t find in Dubai…
  • <b>Boutique it</b>
<br>
<br>
If the idea of ‘trawling the malls’ is not your idea of designer shopping, there are also many fabulous boutiques to explore. Find designer names at S@uce and Boutique One, and for an eclectic mix of day and nightwear head to Ginger
