Y12 Salon, Ritz-Carlton Hotel

Designed to reflect the excellence and sophistication of its surroundings within the Ritz Carlton hotel, Y12 represents high-end style, innovation and technique with a personal touch. Drawing inspiration from the fashion industry and its Italian owners, the salon offers the very best of everything; from the stylists to the treatments to the authentic artisan Italian coffee.

Service is at the very heart of Y12’s philosophy. “We don’t just want our clients to leave happy with their hair, we want them to enjoy the whole salon experience. From the excitement and anticipation of the initial consultation, to the luxury and comfort of the surroundings, the personal attention to detail, the lavish refreshment menu, the friendly and talented staff, and of course the final look. Our aim is 100% satisfaction.”

The inspiration of top international stylists Luca Comella and Giampiero Renzetti, this new flagship salon perfectly combines Giampiero’s extensive technical and educational knowledge with Luca’s global fashion experience. This recipe ensures that the salon excels on service and ability whilst the clients receive the very latest on trend styles.

Italian trained Giampiero has worked within fashion and with some of the biggest names in the entertainment and sport industries but his real passion is on the educational and technical side of hairdressing. His wide experience and expertise within this area has led to him being acknowledged as one of the most recognised and esteemed trainers in the region.

Luca is a Tony and Guy London trained stylist who is passionate about creativity and innovation. He has worked extensively within the fashion industry for the likes of Gucci, Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton and Dior on both catwalk shows and fashion shoots. He also has a broad celebrity clientele including Eva Longoria, Leona Lewis, Fabio Cannavaro, Anna Dello Russo and Catherine Deneuve.

Having lived and worked in Dubai for many years, Luca and Giampiero felt that this city was the ideal location for their new venture. “Dubai prides itself on pushing boundaries and redefining normal. This diverse and motivating city is perfect for Y12. This is not just a salon; this is a new way of hairdressing.”

Leading entrepreneur Richard Branson defines business excellence as creating something that makes a difference to people’s lives. This is the very essence of Y12.
