My hairstylist Khaled should be in the list, he has done great job on my blonde hair for 4 yrs now. I have followed him from one salon to another and now he has his own place. Colour Masters Hair Salon in The Jewels Tower Dubai Marina. I highly recommend him. he listens to what I want from the trim to the colour of highlights.

Try Donna at Elite Beauty Studio in Jumeira, She is great and really knowledgeable in hair styles and hair repair...spent a fortune around Dubai only to end up with modest hair cuts and weakened hair...I tried them in Paris and they do an even better job here...

I am starting my own scandinavian hairdresser "Feldvoss" in JLT with well educated scandinavian hairdressers who know what good quality is. Furthermore I have made agreements with the best product suppliers in the beauty business. The salon is opening in June 2013

A little bit about my self:

I am educated at PER salon in Aarhus - who is one of the market leading hairdressers in Denmark. This means that I am use to working with quality demanding customers who know what they want

Can't believe it found a good hairdresser here In dubai who cut my hair and blow dried it so beautifully that even when I went back to the uk didn't have it done, to find out she has left the salon. Does anyone know where lamia from n style JBR has moved to. The salon won't tell me. Thanks

Hello. I'm Dee. After been in Dubai sometime I have never really found anyone to do a good cut on my hair. My friend went to Simona, in The Chill Salon and loved her hair. As they have a branch in Bur Dubai I thought I would go there. If you go on the website at the moment they do a 30% discount at the branch. So I called and booked a appointment and mentioned the discount. What a great hotel, (little bit hard to find) and salon. I had a lady by the name of Sadaf do my hair. She is a great girl, with a lot of conversation . The salon was not busy so she really took her time with me. The result was Fantastic. I'm so happy to have gone and will next time be back for my colour. Highly recommend

Love Yanni! Went over yesterday after seeing the recs here and she's an absolute darling. I didn't think my hair was salvageable after this stylist somewhere else botched my hair... but somehow her magic fingers did its work and now its this really lovely blonde :) I get compliments on it all the time, can't say I don't love the attention!!

My wife gave a try at Chill Salon Media city, She is asian with black straight hair. She was cut by Simona. Frankly it's one of the best cut she ever had. She is very happy and I like it too. We paid 300 AED for a cut. Tomorrow I have an appointment in the morning. Will let you know how it is going on the men side....

I search online to check for a good hair dresser, i found the name kristina- Famous Beauty Salon. I called them and booked for a cut and hair color. When i came for my appointment i've been little upset because Kristina is a russian lady who doesn't speak english. I almost want to cancel my appointment but my mind said give her a chance, because even it's difficult to communicate with her I've been impressed that she is trying her best to understand what i want to do to my hair. And she is professional in her way in doing consultation. And after her work, amazingly i've never been happy before as what i experienced that time, the colored and highlights are perfectly suit my skin tone and my new hair cut give a new look to me, i have a round face and it's really scary for me to try new looks, but definitely she gave an outstanding new look to me. If your looking for a good professional hair dresser, try Kristina, surely she can help you.

thanks Time out for telling me the whereabouts of Yanni....she is simply superb .Lost track of her when she left Pretty lady salon n they were not even courteous enough to give her whereabouts .

I have been getting my hair cut from her since last 5yrs n she is just amazing ,knows her job very well n always listens to her clients .....I am so elated to find her whereabouts ........

Posted by: wise on 09 Jan ' 13 at 20:27

i just wanna say that this conversation isn't trusted and isn't useful any more . the good hairdresser will be known without this . just ask your friends don't care about Internet ....... sorry and thanks

I am so so happy that Nicloa is back in Dubai to cut my hair,she has been doing it for the last 2 years and I would never go to any one else!!

Posted by: Nosheen on 09 Sep ' 12 at 11:21

Chill Salon is the best salon in the UAE. Just got my haircut done again and couldnt be any happier. Luke does fantastic work with hair. I am a local who has looked everywhere for good hair stylists, and nobody does hair better than Luke. I get compliments even when I go abroad. I hope Chill Salon will always be in Dubai. Dont waste your time searching, just contact them and ask for Luke. Never have I had such a wonderful experience.

Im 38 years and this age drive me crazy I should say , so I became veery picky I don't know why , but my long hair is very important for me and I decide to color it for the 1st time and i went to Jacques so thanks God I did the best decision and Jacques like they said he's master with colouring , I think I have feeling I look younger :)

Posted by: Dima on 14 Aug ' 12 at 11:51

WHERE AND WHO IS NICOLA ? HELP A SUFFERING WOMAN!!

Posted by: Shahira Lalani on 13 Aug ' 12 at 10:52

Hi Nosheen, You should try Luke at Salon Chill, he is ex Tony and Guy and very very good.

Posted by: Amanda on 13 Aug ' 12 at 09:20

I'm surprised not to see Yanni on this list! I've been going to see her for almost 10 years, and she's never set a foot wrong with my hair. She really listens to what you want, then comes up with her own ideas on how to make it better in a way that will suit your face and your colouring. She's a GENIUS with colouring, always love it, love her, cannot recommend her enough. I've followed her from Pretty Lady Salon to the Ibn Battuta Gate hotel, where she has her own, gorgeous men's and ladies' salon now but really, I would follow her anywhere.

I love Rami! I had been going to the same hairdresser in Amsterdam for nearly 8 years and was quite scared to have a new do in Dubai but Rami took care of it! He listens to you but is not afraid to give you his opinion and that's exacly what I need! He is friendly, social and never let's me down! After every cut my hair looks great and stays that way for weeks! Thanks Rami for being such a wonderful hairdresser and person!

Posted by: Danielle on 16 Jul ' 12 at 07:35

I have curly hair that noone has been able to cut properly except for Nicola.
She did my hair twice, but both times looked great! I now have a very trendy, short asymetrical do. She used to work at Chill Salon in Shatha Towers but the slaon seems to have closed. Anyone know where to reach her??

Posted by: kathy on 08 Jul ' 12 at 10:53

Tried Zouari Hair Salon yesterday. Well I appreciate the patience and effort made by the stylist. But I'm quite disappointed with his work. I can't believe that this Salon in a luxury hotel hired a stylist from Sri Lanka without any oversea experience. I just need to get back to my original bob, which took him 1.5 hours!! I had to tell him to trim here and there...in the past, this salon had a brilliant stylist and I would feel comfortable to let him do his job. This morning, after the first wash, I need to keep trimming some extra hair at the left side.
This stylist told me that he is the only one in this salon now...so avoid Zouari for now.

After my 1st visit at Jacques I said I will never go there again it was so busy , but after I did my highlights with Jacques the Master with colouring I should say , I was reaaaly happy and it was the best highlights so I'm glade I found this beautiful salon , I should say thx to timeout

Posted by: Leti on 21 Jun ' 12 at 11:19

I have been going to Adriana from Loft 5th Avenue in Dubai Mall for hair colour. She is really good at this. I am very nervous customer when seated at the salon chair, however with her I fully relax and know I will get my hair in the shade I wish for. I have had so many disastrous hair experiences, so am not thinking to change her as long as I can..

Posted by: Sabine on 21 Jun ' 12 at 09:34

I went to Franck provost at the marina for my color and highlights , and it was the WORST experience ever from the phone appointment till the end very bad. After that I search for a good hairdresser in marina area and after reading and some recommendation from some friends I went to Jacques at the address marina , he try to fix my hair and really help me and did great job to makes it look better , thank a lot Jacques and Timeout

I’m surprised that you Janelle had this experience, especially with Rami. I have been his client for more than 2 years, and whenever he is running late with his schedule he always informs me with an apology and I never waited more than 15 minutes. He is a real gentleman and he never lets me down or any of my friends that I have recommended to him. As well as he has never passed us on to anyone else. Especially when it comes to an important service like cutting or colouring.

Nosheen, I was also fooled by the comments in Time Out. After reading rave after rave, I made an appointment with Rami JLC at Address Dubai Marina. He was very angry when I showed up, as he only wanted to do hair extensions and updos that day, and the salon had booked me for a haircut. He told me he didn't have time for me unless I wanted to do the haircut between other clients. Thinking of all the rave reviews, I agreed. He gave me a nice haircut - not terrible, not spectacular. But his customer service, and the salon's, was awful. It took over 3 hours, he never once apologised for the communication mistake or thanked me for adjusting my schedule around his. Afterwards, he had the nerve to ask me to write a glowing review on Time Out. (I didn't.) 6 weeks later, I went back for a fringe trim, and he passed me off to another guy, who absolutely butchered my hair. STAY AWAY from JLC salon, and especially Rami. Dubai has enough divas already.

No-one mentioned YANNI at Yanni Salon in Ibn Battuta gate. With over 20 years of international experience with men and ladies, she's the best hairdresser in Dubai.

I went to get my hair coloured with Nicola at Chill Salon, My hair is blond and I wanted the roots touched up and some highlights. When the results were finally revealed to me. Instead of nice shiny hair with various shades of blond I had dark grey hair. She told me it would wash out in a few weeks but who wants to wait that long to look normal. Next she said, she'd colour it again the next week but I was leaving town on holiday in 2 days. I don't trust her and will never go back.

I am very surprised that FAMOUS Beauty Salon & Spa's Hair stylist, Kristina was not on this list! As a retired New York City hair stylist for over 25 years, I look for perfection when it comes to someone putting their hands in my head. After seven years of living in the DXB, I have finally found someone who can professionally cut, color and style exactly like the TOP stylist in NYC. I needed a color correction that was very challenging. Kristina was kind, she ask the right questions, I felt comfortable with her immediately and she fixed my color concern with stunning results!!!. She is definitely a hidden gem. Maybe next time, TIME OUT, you will list the fabulous Kristina! Cheers!

After reading so many comments about the salon in the Address hotel Marina, and about Rami I decided to give it a try (have been going to Toni & Guy for 9 years) Unfortunately he didn't even show up! After waiting for 30 min I asked the ladies in the salon where he was; apparently he was not in the Salon. Very disappointing. Anyone can recommend a good stylist? I just want a cut. I have trusted Toni and Guy for a long time but I want someone to give me an excellent cut, not just good.

I visit Jacques for color and crystal treatment for the first time and the guy is cool and did a great job so I recommend him , and the salon is clean amazing , btw he speaks French ;)

NICOLA AND WHERE DOES SHE WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Ben on 13 May ' 12 at 09:30

I've been getting my hair cut by Nicola for 7 years and referred a number of people to her, none of whom have had a bad word to say about their experience!

Every time I see her I get honest advice/suggestions, a great haircut and a damn good laugh without fail.

Her down-to-earth approach is really refreshing, couple that with her expertise and technical knowledge she really is a rarity in Dubai.

Posted by: Franck on 09 May ' 12 at 18:37

Went to Jacques La Coupe at Galleries Lafayette Dubai Mall yesterday evening.

I was cut by a good looking Syrian guy.
He was very friendly but with regards to the cut, OMG it was the worst ever.

1. I had gel on my hair, he didn't even wash them prior to start the cut, but just sprayed them resulting in fighting with the comb for it not to stay stuck in my hair.

2. He had no technique at all, I've never seen that in my life, looked like he had no plan before starting, switching from the sides to the top, to the back in a strange way.

3. The result was looking correct with wet hair and the gel he had put in my hair, but the next day after washing, I realized that my hair wasn't evenly cut on the sides and my colleagues made fun of me at work...
Even my wife could see the defect thru the webcam on Skype.

4. I paid 150 AED for that.....

Will never go ever again, I think it's very hard to find a good hair dresser in Dubai at least someone who's has been trained.
There is a good hairdresser at B.shine in Bloomingdales level 2, his name is Bassam, at least even if he won't give a fantastic modern look to your haircut, he has the basic techniques and knows how to hold a pair of scissors. The problem is that he is not always there.

Other option is the French Hairdressing Academy (Formul'A) near Marina, I will try next, at least people there should have a minimum of technique..

Posted by: Catherine on 08 May ' 12 at 10:07

Sumeea (or Summer as I call her as her personality is so warm and welcoming) who works for Profile Hair Salon in Harvey Nichols is the BEST hairstylist and colourist I have ever come across anywhere in the world. I highly recommend her - you will not be disappointed! Catherine

Posted by: Nina on 06 May ' 12 at 09:23

Everyone is recommending Nicola! so where can I find Nicola? where is she/he located? Can anybody help me? planning to dye my hair in such trendy colors like pink, purple or soft blue just like katy perry *_* in which salon can i find this colors? waiting your recommendations! ciao

Posted by: Liya on 02 May ' 12 at 12:37

I think no one can satisfie everybody especially for the hair , I think it's all about if you feel comfortable with your hairdresser , anyway after so many years in Duai I only trust few hairdressers and they left ,and now recently I went to Jacques and he's really good and a good listener and just gave me what I want he's so good in colors and highlits, and he doesn't talk a lot , I respect this salon and I highly recommend him .

Posted by: Lina on 01 May ' 12 at 01:26

Nicola is amazing. I went to see her for highlights and a cut. I wanted to have darker roots and highlights which are natural, to achieve a sun kissed look. Nicola sat with me, listened and gave suggestions and made sure i am comfortable and I understand what she proposed. The look turned up great and exactly what I wanted. The best part is that the look is low maintenance, i can grow my roots more and it will still looks good, so i dont have to go and do the highlights every 6 weeks. Nicola is great in listening what you want so che can give you the best option that will fit you depending on your face shape, skin colour and hair type.

Posted by: Abbie Harris on 27 Apr ' 12 at 17:08

So disappointed after my first visit to Jacques. I'd hoped for a simple and decent trim to my thin, fine hair and wanted only a straight inch off, with no layering. My hair was washed without a consultation to ask how it sits or analyse the texture of it. Two minutes later Jacques came along and just kept saying "No problem, don't worry" to everything I said. He wasn't even listening to me.
The haircut was done in 5 minutes. He'd chopped off my hair and left me with a mushroom cut. Absolutely devastating.
Someone else then came to give me a blow-dry. It usually sits nicely after a quick-blow dry but it took more than 30 minutes because he couldn't manage the short layers, that I'd insisted from the beginning I didn't want.
It will now take at least six months to grow my hair back, because of a hairdresser didn't care or listen,
The worst service ever, And they charged me 400 DHS to ruin my hair.

Posted by: maria on 25 Apr ' 12 at 13:04

Being new in Dubai i followed the excellent comments on JLC, i am now convinced that the majority of these comments are been made by JLC staff. He never listens to what you want and is doing what he thinks you want, he can make you wait for hours as socializing for him is more important. I went there and spent 4 hours to come up with PINK hair (instead of strawberry blonde) and did not have time for a haircut. Go, try and then please come back and post your experience to save people's hair! He may be good with Arabic type hair, forget about him if you are blonde or need to become one.

Nicola has been cutting my hair for the last 5 years and shes amazing .. Every haircut is better then the last .. I have almost been know for my hair through University and now in my work life, little do they know it's all thanks to Nicola ..:)
