7 Best Hair Salons in Dubai

Last Updated on March 6, 2024 by Jamie Marshall

Curiously enough, hairdressers are one of the most searched-for topics as people look for someone who will truly understand their hair needs. It is rare to find a person who has not yet faced the trauma of a terrible dye job or haircut and equally hard to find a hairdresser who will listen to your needs before putting scissor to hair.

Cutting hair is as much a science as it is an art and an experienced hairdresser will take into consideration your desires, lifestyle, hair type as well as the shape of your face before styling your hair. An experienced hairdresser will also not be afraid to advise you against a particular hair style if it does not suit your face, even if this is the cut you are seeking.

A great hairstyle can increase confidence and enhance overall appearance; similarly a bad haircut will leave you feeling embarrassed and is likely to eat into your confidence.

So if you are looking for someone to entrust your tresses to, and are desperate to avoid the trial-and-error method, we have compiled a list of the 7 best hair salons in Dubai, as a great starting point. Here we look at the specialty of each salon and give you options to choose from amongst the best so that you never have to face another day trying to figure out how to mask a horrible haircut.
