Juan at the Palm Hotel which is next door to the Hard Rock Cafe, ring 04 3994646 - but make sure you tell them you are male as he has two salons, one for the ladies and one for the men, excellent hairdresser he is.

Juan is great & charges far less than he should.

Rest assured that it won't be at all expensive.

Slightly OT, but now that the Hard Rock is closing down to make way for high-rises, is the Palm Hotel going w/ it?

Hey JunFan

Suggest that you forget a haircut and with all respect to the local culture drop into one of the many Gentleman's outfitters for a customary head piece. Would also come in very handy to cover one's mouth with during sand risings like the one we had today down in Abu Dhabi! Hope no-one finds that offensive, when viewed from OS a piece of checked fabric can look pointless until you get here and it all makes sense. Sorry haven't been here long enough for a first hair cut yet but thanks Geordie for the advice.

Mall of the Emirates has a place near Carrefour. Arabian Ranches has a place near Black Canyon restaurant in the shopping center. 60 dirhams seems to be the going price.

I'm pleased to say the guy new all my british hair cut coloqialisms and I was very pleased with the end result! 60 dhs..... probably not the cheapest you can get in Dubai but I was a happy camper!
