Mariadowling Salon Dubai

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.

How hair salons are adapting to the ‘new normal’ in a transformed landscape

How hair salons are adapting to the ‘new normal’ in a transformed landscape

The hair salon has always been an especially intimate environment. It is a place where close contact is non-negotiable — a hair stylist massages your scalp with the pads of their fingers; a barber leans in close to shape up your hairline. All that stopped when the coronavirus forced salons and barbershops in many countries …

5 star review  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!

5 star review  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.

1 star review  Have visited this salon multiple times for a hair cut and have had no issues. But the girls at the reception were extremely unhelpful and not attentive at all to my requests this time. Thanks for ruining my plans for hair color which I was really excited about and congrats on losing a client!

5 star review  I recently visited Maria Dowling Salon and had the pleasure of having Dani as my hairstylist. From the moment I sat in her chair, I knew I was in good hands. Dani truly transformed my hair with her amazing color choices and haircut decision, exceeding my expectations. She was incredibly attentive to my requests, listening carefully to every detail, and then going above and beyond to deliver an even better result than I had hoped for. Dani also took the time to explain how to maintain my hair, and weeks later, I can confidently say that my hair feels refreshed and healthier thanks to her expert advice. Her transparency and honesty in our discussions were refreshing, and she was so much fun to talk to, making the entire experience the best I've ever had at a salon. I also want to give a special mention to Louella, the receptionist, and the other members of the team who made my visit so enjoyable. They were all incredibly sweet and kind in their interactions, adding to the overall positive atmosphere of the salon. The service at Maria Dowling Salon was truly exceptional, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch salon experience. Love you guys!!!
