5 Best Hair Salons in Abu Dhabi (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A bad haircut in Abu Dhabi means weeks of hats and awkward video calls, so the hair salons you trust with color, cuts, and lash work matter more than a nice reception area. Between them, the salons here have logged 2,451 Google reviews, and every one holds a rating of 4.6 or higher. The gap that actually separates them isn't stars. It's what they specialize in, from Russian beauty techniques to tape-in extensions.

Short answer: Phenomenal Ladies Salon in Al Hisn leads with 4.7 stars across 610 reviews, the highest review volume on this list, praised for hairstyling, manicures, and pedicures alike. Ghazalim Beauty Russian Salon and Le Noir Beauty Center both hold 4.8, with Le Noir standing out for lash and brow work and body treatments. If you want a mall-based option with longer hours, WOW Beauty Salon at Reem Mall is open until midnight on weekends.

Phenomenal Ladies Salon

4.7610 Google reviews

Phenomenal Ladies Salon operates out of Al Hisn on Khadim Bin Butti Al Hamed Street, booked through Fresha as a full ladies' beauty salon. The team covers hairstyling, manicures, pedicures, and nail work, and it's open seven days a week from 9am to 9pm, which matters if you need a same-day appointment around a busy schedule. Reviewers name specific stylists, Oksana, Darina, Rahima, and Nadira, by name, which says something about how personal the service feels here. It's the highest-review-volume salon on this list by a wide margin.

What people praise

  • Named stylists get repeat, specific praise, not generic five-star filler
  • Long daily hours, 9am to 9pm every day of the week
  • Pedicure and manicure work called out as detailed and long-lasting
  • Haircut and color reviews mention stylists giving real advice, not just executing a request

Worth knowing

  • A small share of reviews land at 1 star against a backdrop of otherwise strong feedback, worth a quick look before booking a specific service

WOW Beauty Salon - Reem Mall

4.7583 Google reviews

WOW Beauty Salon sits on the ground floor of Reem Mall and is part of a small regional chain the business describes as operating since 2008 across the UAE and Qatar. Services span hair, nails, skin care, facials, and waxing, and the salon stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Reviewers highlight specific colorists and stylists for highlights and haircuts, and several mention traveling from abroad and planning return visits.

What people praise

  • Mall location with late weekend hours, useful for evening bookings
  • Colorists praised by name for matching difficult or damaged hair
  • Staff described as thorough during consultations before color work
  • Reception and booking process called smooth and well organized

Worth knowing

  • One detailed review describes a language-barrier issue during a haircut that led to a result the client didn't want, worth requesting a specific stylist if you have exact instructions

Our take: A solid pick if you're already at Reem Mall or want evening hours, though it's worth naming your stylist rather than taking whoever is free.

Le Noir Beauty Center | مركز لي نوار للتجميل

4.8325 Google reviews

Le Noir Beauty Center is based on Al Turath Street in Al Nahyan and describes itself as offering non-surgical face and body treatments alongside what it calls authentic Russian beauty techniques. The site name-checks cellulite treatment specifically, and reviewers mention body treatments, eyebrow and lash shaping, and nail work, often praising the same technicians (Aizat, Aigerim) across multiple visits. Ratings distribution here skews heavily five-star, with almost no reviews in the middle range.

What people praise

  • Lash and eyebrow shaping described as natural-looking rather than heavy
  • One reviewer specifically compared Le Noir's Instagram photos to the real in-salon results and found them accurate
  • Multilingual staff, including Russian-speaking team members
  • Nearly all reviews sit at 5 stars with almost none in the 2 to 4 range

How we score these salons

Rating is the live Google average for each salon. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a rating, ranked against the others here. Confidence blends the two, since a high rating means more with more reviews behind it. Recency checks how recently people are still leaving feedback, and completeness checks whether a salon has a working site, phone number, and posted hours. No salon can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does a hair salon visit cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Pricing at these salons varies by service, from a basic cut to color, extensions, or a full spa package, and depends heavily on which stylist or technician you book with. None of the salons on this page publish a fixed general price list for hair services, so the most reliable way to get a number is to ask for a quote when booking, since color and extension work in particular can vary a lot by hair length and condition.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These salons are spread across the city, from Al Hisn and Al Nahyan in the older downtown grid to Reem Island and Karamah Street further out. If you’re searching for a hair salon near me in Abu Dhabi, that spread means there’s likely a strong option within a short drive no matter which neighborhood you’re in, and several offer late hours for evening bookings after work.

What to ask before you book a hair salon in Abu Dhabi

  • Can I request a specific stylist by name, and is there a wait for their schedule?
  • What products do you use for color, and are they suitable for previously treated hair?
  • How long does the appointment realistically take for what I want done?
  • Is there an extra charge for extensions, treatments, or add-ons beyond the base service?
  • Do you offer a patch test before color or chemical treatments, and how far ahead do I need to book it?
  • What’s your policy if I’m not happy with the result?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these salons?

We looked at real Google Business Profiles for hair salons in Abu Dhabi and ranked them by rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this page updated?

We last verified these ratings and review counts in July 2026. Salons change staff and pricing over time, so always confirm details when you book.

Which salon has the most reviews?

Phenomenal Ladies Salon leads with 610 reviews at a 4.7 rating, the highest volume of any salon on this page.

Do any of these salons specialize in nails and lashes rather than hair?

Yes. Ghazalim Beauty Russian Salon is reviewed almost entirely for nails, lashes, and facials rather than haircuts, so it’s worth choosing based on the service you actually need.

Can I book most of these salons online?

Most of the salons on this page take bookings through Fresha, which lets you see stylist availability and book a specific time slot before you arrive.

The bottom line

Phenomenal Ladies Salon is the safe default if you want the deepest, most consistent track record in the city. If nails, lashes, or Russian-style body treatments are what you’re actually booking for, Ghazalim or Le Noir are the stronger specialists. Either way, name your stylist when you book and ask for a quote up front if you’re getting color or extensions done.
