Diplomatic Club beauty salon opens revamped facility

Poised to transform the face of skin care and beauty in Doha, the salon has transfigured its interior, as well as expanded its offering of services to appeal to upscale and business spa and beauty clients alike. The new salon embodies a contemporary high-tech spa setting, but mingles with it a calm and relaxing Balinese-inspired atmosphere.

From the moment the client enters the salon, she knows her time here will be extraordinary and very special; this is a place to de-stress and create a completely individualized experience. The hair and beauty rooms are bright and full of energy, while the skin, nail and body treatment spaces are the epitome of calm and Balinese serenity.

Bali is known for its legendary hospitality and this extends through your stay at the salon. Rania Saliba, Beauty Center Manager, and a 12-year beauty professional, beauty consultant and former model, says of the new Center, "We wanted to create a place where women can feel comfortable. This is not simply a business to my staff and me; we genuinely care about skin and beauty. The Center has sought out talented and highly-trained professionals who can really bring their creativity and innovation to make-up and skin, hair, nail and body care."

In an effort to provide the most indulgent, skin-pampering products to complement the salon's myriad list of services, the Beauty Center uses only the most high-quality and, where possible, organic products to work in conjunction with their treatments. The Beauty Center at The Diplomatic Club exclusively uses Oxygen Botanicals' pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and La Prairie's anti-ageing cellular therapy products for their skin treatments because they most effectively enhance the results of the skin technicians' cleansing, exfoliating, hyper-pigmentation, hypersensitivity , antioxidant, acne blemish, moisturizing and eye treatments.

The Beauty Center also has exclusive use in Qatar of the Skin Master System, an ultrasonic program that combats fine lines, premature aging, blemishes, acne discoloration, sun damage, maximizes moisturization and blood circulation. Skin and body treatments are designed to calm, balance, purify, heal or revitalize.

Dina Khlat, Acting Operations Manager for The Diplomatic Club" says of Ms. Saliba, "Her extensive knowledge of the beauty industry keeps her creating and developing new formulas. Her wide-ranging background allows her to practice and experiment with new formulations and technologies. She has a global understanding of the industry; what is new, fresh, and what works. She understands the foundation of beauty and skin health across cultural and ethnic boundaries."

Ms. Saliba has cultivated a list of salon offerings that allow flexibility when choosing treatments and services. They can be tailor designed to address specific skin concerns or made to simply relax the client as she chooses from a full selection of hair, make-up and nail offerings including acrylic nail application and hot stone manicures and pedicures.
