BY EVA STANLEY-JONES At Park Hyatt Dubai, Rossano Ferretti’s HairSpa feels less like a salon appointment and more like an immersion into Italian designer haircare at its most elevated. Known across the industry as the “Maestro,” Rossano Ferretti has built a reputation on haute-couture hair artistry, where natural texture is celebrated, wellness is foundational, and elegance is always effortless. From the moment you arrive, the setting does half the work. Surrounded by water and washed in soft, flattering light, the marina views create an immediate sense of calm; a deliberate pause from the city’s pace. The HairSpa itself is designed as a sanctuary: quiet, refined, and restorative, with the kind of serene ambience that invites you to slow down and genuinely reset. What distinguishes the experience is the philosophy behind it. This is haircare guided by harmony, not aggressive transformation, but thoughtful enhancement. There’s a clear focus on maintaining the integrity of the hair, honouring its movement and natural character while refining the finish into something polished yet completely unforced. At the heart of the Park Hyatt Dubai outpost is Jessica Badini, Hair Director at @rossanoferretti, whose approach embodies that signature balance of artistry, precision, and intuition. Her attention to detail feels meticulous but never rigid; the kind of expertise that reads your hair before you even explain it, and elevates the final result in a way that feels personal rather than prescribed. “We do not cut the hair straight,” she mentions, “We dance with the hair”. Despite my (now admittedly misguided) belief that fine hair should never be layered—and that only a blunt, straight line could make it appear fuller—Jessica Badini took an entirely different approach. She introduced soft layers and subtle shaping, with not a harsh line in sight. A glossy treatment and softly waved finish later, she simply said: “It looks more romantic this way.” And she was right. The result felt undeniably feminine – light, fluid, and full of relaxed movement, allowing my hair to fall naturally, exactly where it wanted to. I swayed out of the HairSpa and into the Park Hyatt Dubai courtyards – lush with trees, kissed by sea air, and framed by those endless ocean views, feeling renewed, effortless, and quietly luminous. For anyone who believes great hair begins at the roots, in wellbeing, technique, and a deep understanding of natural beauty, Rossano Ferretti HairSpa at Park Hyatt Dubai is a destination worth making time for.
