Casa Havana Beauty Salon

Casa Havana is a neighbourhood beauty salon in the Safa area that has built a devoted following since opening in 2017, and owes its character to a Cuban-inspired interior, patterned tiles, antique detailing and warm timber, that sets it apart from the typical Dubai salon aesthetic. Cuban coffee is poured on arrival, and the atmosphere is hospitable without tipping into fuss. The service card is broad: highlights, cuts and blow-drys handled by experienced colourists, gel and classic manicures with neck-massage chair combinations, pedicures where cuticle work is measured and sterilised tools come out of sealed packs, body massage, facials, waxing, threading and lash work. Stylists and technicians tend to stay for years, so regulars book by name and trust individual practitioners across disciplines. Pacing is deliberately unhurried: a full-day visit combining hair, nails and a massage is a genuine option rather than a tight back-to-back schedule. As a beauty salon rather than a traditional wet-area spa, the offer centres on grooming and bodywork rather than hammam or pool facilities. For residents of Safa, Jumeirah and Al Wasl, it is one of the more characterful options in the neighbourhood.
