lol I have 2 girlfriends who are always moaning there are no nice single guys in AD, maybe we should hook our friends up

I would say stay where you are, hairdressing isn't particularly well paid. Try contacting this lot to see what they offer

http://www.tedmorganhair.com/career.aspx

I actually help run a hair salon here for a friend and are always on the look out for good stylists but the salary offered isn't really good enough for Europeans to make a decent standard of living.

Thank you so much, I will look into the link that you gave me. My visa is going to expire and Im looking for a change in my life, just thought UAE might have been a good place, but I don't want to live in a box either.

a box would probably all you would be able to afford, either that or a villa share it is just getting too expensive here these days especially for women on their own. Contact Morgan's though it is worth a try.

I'm a single female, age 40, who likes a good social life and is a mad-keen scuba diver. I'm planning a move to the UAE (probably AD) in the New Year.

Wondered what my chances are of getting on and having a life, or if I should plan to stay in and wash my hair (and go mad!) for months....

Let me know when you get here. I am a scuba diver too - plenty associated social opportunites out here.

They should start moaning like porn stars and then see the result in not more than 24 hours...
