Ladies' Beauty Salons in Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi
6 businesses listed, 0 Verified or Trusted. Sponsored results are labelled; positions 4+ are ranked by rating, response rate and completed jobs, reshuffled weekly.
A ladies' beauty salon in the UAE needs a trade licence from the emirate's economic department and must meet the municipality's public-health requirements for hygiene, sterilisation and staff health. Those rules exist because tools touch skin, nails and hair, and poor hygiene spreads infections.
What a good salon looks like
Clean workstations, single-use files and buffers, sterilised metal tools kept in sealed pouches and fresh towels for each client are the basics. Ask to see the price list before you sit down, and ask which products are used for colour, keratin or lash treatments.
What it costs in 2026
- Haircut and blow-dry: AED 100 to 300
- Manicure: AED 60 to 150 (gel AED 120 to 250)
- Facial: AED 200 to 600
- Full hair colour: AED 300 to 1,200
- Keratin or smoothing treatment: AED 600 to 1,500
These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.
Before you book
For colour, keratin or lash extensions, ask for a patch test 24 to 48 hours ahead, especially if you have reacted to a product before. Confirm the final price for long or thick hair, since many salons charge by length.
Check the badge first, then read the reviews and the response rate. Ask for a written quote that names the company on the licence, and pay only to an account in that company's name.






Frequently asked questions
What licence should a ladies' salon have?
A trade licence from the emirate's economic department with a beauty salon activity, plus compliance with the municipality's public-health requirements, which cover hygiene, sterilisation and staff health. Check the licence number on the issuing register, and expect the licence to be displayed in the salon.
How much does a salon visit cost in the UAE?
In 2026 a haircut and blow-dry costs AED 100 to 300, a manicure AED 60 to 150, a facial AED 200 to 600, full colour AED 300 to 1,200 and keratin AED 600 to 1,500. These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.
Should I ask for a patch test?
Yes, for hair colour, keratin, lash and brow tints and lash glue. A small amount is applied behind the ear or on the arm 24 to 48 hours before the treatment. A salon that refuses or rushes it is not putting your safety first.
What are the red flags?
Be cautious of reused files and buffers, tools taken from an open drawer, no price list, products without labels and pressure to add treatments during the visit. Report hygiene concerns to the municipality of the emirate.
