Hairdressers in dubai
Hi i am a qualified hairdresser, i have 2 children aged 10 and 13.
Would love to live and work in dubai. Bit worried about my children though whether they would be able to settle at the age they are regarding schools etc... Do you have to pay for schooling over there? is hairdressing a wanted trade in dubai, is there work over there. Just need some feedback. Thanks holly |

Hi Holly - you'd find it hard to make ends meet as a hair-dresser here - the only way it could work would be if you were to set up your own salon, and competition is very stiff. Rent & school fees are extremely expensive.
Sorry to disappoint your ambition. western hairdressers are few in AD, maybe AD a better option It wont be easy but its not impossible:) |

I succumb to your greater experience, AnnaC.... my guy in AD is Syrian, otherwise I use the Phillipino guys in Bur Juman. I'd say they ain't earning a whole load.
So got any advice as to how this lady can get hooked up with a job? Sponsorship etc? Lots of salons are doing this chair renting system. Usually the salon owned by a national he pays everything inc the sponsoring of all the staff and then they pay for the chair. It seems to be working very well in my salon that i go There is a huge shortage of good haidressers in AD . most western women are fed up of asking for a trim and 5 inches are gone Hence this salon is doing so good. I just wouldnt say its not impossible. thats all |

Holly,
Have you thought about Australia? They are crying out for hairdressers over there, and it would provide a lifestyle for you and your children comparable wth Dubai. Incidentally, do you do beauty treatments as well? We desperately need a 'Western' beauty therapist in Abu Dhabi. I asked in the beauty salon in my hotel for a treatment that is quite normal in England, and the beauty therapist looked at me like I was barking. |

yeah, my hairdresser does pretty well here too...but i think he makes his real money doing one-off fashion events (which he does a lot of) and he is the hairdresser to a few local celebs so i guess he can whack up the prices for them too...
