mariadowling Salon is an award-winning Dubai-based hair concept, founded by Creative Director and the Middle East’s ‘Queen of Colour’ Maria Dowling. Since 2002, Maria and her team of internationally trained colourists and stylists have gained regional and international recognition for their natural, subtle approach to hair colouring.
SALON
mariadowling Salon still remains the Middle East’s only colour-specialist salon, with a hand-picked team of internationally trained colourists and stylists, led by Creative Director and ‘Queen of Colour’, Maria Dowling.
Designed to meet the needs of women who consider hair colour to be a significant part of their overall image, the salon, in Dubai’s upmarket Jumeirah district, has been carefully designed to create a truly unique hairdressing environment. Comfort and relaxation is key, with specially designed chairs, natural lighting and a unique one-on-one experience with the stylist, from initial colour consultation right through to final blow-dry.
Maria believes that women look forward to their hairdressing appointment more than any other treatment. “Clients don’t just come to mariadowling because they want to look good, they come to us so that they can escape the pressures and demands of their everyday lives and focus on themselves for a short time. Not only do we want our customers to leave the salon looking fabulous, we want them to leave feeling wonderful too.”
It is this unique customer-focused philosophy, along with the natural colouring skills of the talented team that has helped mariadowling become the premier hair colouring destination in the Middle East.

REVIEWS
Traveled from Abu Dhabi to go to this salon and they didn’t disappoint. Dani did an excellent colour, cut and blow dry for me. The staff were all so welcoming and kind. Thank you 
I have been visiting the salon for over 18 years… that’s literally hundreds of appointments and every time, these ladies exceed my expectations. Maria is a colour genius and her team ensure that every single experience is a lesson in luxury and five star service. Literally, the best salon in Dubai x
Dani was amazing at taking her time to listen to the history of my hair journey. Amazing at helping me reach my goal to grow healthy longer hair. Thank you. Miss you and your great business Maria. So glad I made the call. Grateful.
Dani is amazing! I love my new haircut. Love her energy and would highly recommend her!

Maja is such a blonde expert genius - so wonderful to work with her. I almost gave up to find a good blonde hairdresser in Dubai - all blonde girls told me after many trials they just do them in their home country. I gave it another last try and voila: Maja's magic by far exceeded my expectations. Not only the fantastic in salon treatments - she makes magic out of completely dry and brittle looking hair - hair lasts healthy looking for so long with the right care which also briefed me about extensively. So grateful to have met her
Also, Angeline has a skill to do a heavenly head massage!
I try to come every month , best salon especially for blondes in dubai. Tried so many salons in Dubai before and they completely destroyed my hair so it never grew only broke over the long run. For the first time in Dubai my bleached blonde hair is finally growing again and looking healthier than ever.
