The gents salon license is an official authorization to operate a business in the field of men's grooming and hairstyling. This license legally permits offering a wide range of services, including haircuts, shaving, beard care, as well as various cosmetic and spa treatments for men. At the same time, obtaining this license requires compliance with established standards. Special attention is given to the sterilization of tools, workplace organization, and regular inspections. Failure to meet these requirements may result in fines or suspension of the salon’s operations.
You can officially run a men’s grooming business without any legal risks.
Ability to rent spaces in popular shopping malls, business centers, and prestigious neighborhoods, boosting customer flow and business reputation.
Business owners and their staff can obtain UAE residence visas, simplifying the hiring of qualified personnel and legal residency in the country.
You can add new services, such as spa treatments, skincare, manicures, and pedicures, increasing the business’s profitability.
The license grants the right to participate in business programs, grants, tenders, and to secure contracts with major hotels and resorts.
Businesses in the UAE benefit from low tax rates, no VAT on many services, and the ability to repatriate profits fully.

Decide whether to register your gents salon on the UAE mainland or in a UAE free zone. The mainland is ideal if you plan to serve clients across the entire emirate. Free zones offer a simpler and more cost-effective setup, but business activities are limited to the free zone’s territory. Not all free zones have suitable spaces for salons, so choose city-based zones such as DMCC, Tecom, or Dubai Silicon Oasis.
Apply to register your company name with the relevant economic department or free zone authority. The name must be unique and meet the official naming guidelines.
Gather passport copies of the shareholders and manager, personal photos, a completed application form, a lease agreement (Ejari in Dubai or its equivalent in other emirates), or a letter of intent for renting a space. In some cases, a floor plan may also be required.
Submit an application for initial approval to the relevant authority. At this stage, your chosen business activity will be reviewed for compliance with legal requirements.
Apply to the local municipality for a hygiene inspection. Submit your floor plan and demonstrate compliance with health and safety standards.
After obtaining all necessary approvals, pay the official registration and license issuance fees. Once completed, you will receive your gents salon license, allowing you to legally operate your business.
