For in the kitchen, they whisper tales to share,
Let them dance in harmony, day and night,
Igniting our palates, with flavors that ignite.

Doha’s hidden gem salon for stay home females.

So I was looking for a salon nearby to my home in old airport and I saw this FB advertisement. They were popping up at many times. But I was happy with eyebrows only.

Finally I thought of checking the services they were offering. 6/7 Services for 200 only?

So visited them as it is only 5-6 minutes walk away from my place. Staff is amazing and morning time during the weekdays they have less rush.

Been there for 3 services. Pedicure, face cleaning and head massage followed by head wash. They did all with great passion n care. Loved it totally.

Face cleaning was so relaxing. Pedicure they are too good and head massage is very relaxing.

They took only 2 hours approx for three services.

It is Diya beauty salon. Amazing place. Loved their facial beds. All the best to them.
