DESK TO DANCEFLOOR
The festive season means after-work nights out and no time for a pamper session. These treatments will take you from desk to dancefloor ready in less than an hour
ON-THE-GO VOLUME LASHES
Lash extensions can bring even the weariest peepers back to life, but the usual two-hour stint in the salon can be off-putting – especially when your diary is packed. The on-the-go volume lashes from N Bar (Dhs250) uses all-fan lashes, to give them a fuller, bolder and more dramatic look. It takes just 30 minutes to apply and will last up to two weeks with a bit of TLC. You can also opt for a more natural (Dhs200) or hybrid (Dhs225) look. nbar.com
BE QUICK BLOW-DRY AND EYE MAKEUP
Need a quick hair and face fix? Look no further than the Blow Out Bar on Palm Jumeirah. Choose from five different blow-dry styles (from Dhs125) – The Blowout, Sleek and Sophisticated, Beach Babe, Femme Fatale or Vintage Vogue. Then add on a quick eye makeup-only service (Dhs200) and be party ready in no time. blowoutbar.ae WASH AND GO BRAIDS
No time for a blow dry? The wash and go braids deal at Be Bar Blow Dry Bar in Umm Sequim takes just 30 minutes and only costs Dhs99. They’ll wash and paddle dry your hair before braiding, or simply braid your hair wet if you prefer. mybebar.com
NAIL A SPEEDY MANICURE
Festive parties are great for networking, so make sure your nails are ready for all that hand shaking. With the classic manicure combo (Dhs95) at Sisters Beauty Lounge, your nails will be buffed to perfection in 45 minutes. The longest part of the process will be deciding your polish shade. sistersbeautylounge.com
FOR GUYS
A (VERY) QUICK SHAVE
The scruffy look can work, but when you feel like getting extraclean, there’s nothing better than a close shave. Head to 1847 for a 20-minute traditional shave (Dhs75) that begins with a hot towel fragranced with Avalon cologne. That’s followed by a carefully executed shave using Murdock’s top notch shaving cream, before a cooling balm application. 1847formen.com
