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
was an absolutely wonderful experience. I am so fussy about my hair but these guys got me, I had the best with Maria. Thank you so much see you in 6 weeks
Had the most amazing experience at this salon to prepare for my engagement party.
Maya is SO talented, and is just such an amazing human with the best vibes. I’ve been trusting Maya for about 3 years now with my long curly hair, she never disappoints and always does the best thing for me. She’s amazing at color, highlights, and cuts for curly hair. I always leave her with the best color, hair as soft as a baby and with the best mood. It’s clear she’s passionate about what she does and her work. It’s really not easy to find such a dedicated stylist that ticks every box.
The entire experience was so much fun, and the environment is like you’re surrounded by your besties. (They also have AMAZING coffee omg)!
Also Lynn is gave me the best hair wash and scalp massage I’ve ever had. I was seriously falling asleep during my wash.
(I also got the clay hair detox and I highly recommend it. Removes so much buildup from products which happens so often when you use curly hair products)
Thank you for the amazing experience 😍❤️ can’t wait to be back for wedding prep 😍
I am so delighted with the quality of service I received here. This is the best my hair has been in 4 years of living in UAE. The colour work is phenomenal, the cut is excellent and the service was professional, friendly and delivered with genuine warmth and kindness. These people are awesome and it is a delightful place to spend an afternoon! I am so happy!
Dani was very approachable and receptive. She took care to understand my concerns and requirements. Her advice was gentle but persuasive and also practical. She has a very friendly personality which puts one at ease very quickly. I was very happy with the color and haircut as well as the entire experience.
Had the pleasure of seeing Maya this time and she was amazing. Thoughtful and full of knowledge about hair and hair health. Color is fab too. Thank you Maya!
