Hair Salon Services in Abu Dhabi | Professional Hair Care Experts

Table of Contents

When you search for hair salon services in Abu Dhabi, you’re rarely looking for “just a trim”. You’re looking for a feeling: hair that looks polished in daylight, holds up in humidity, and still feels soft when you run your fingers through it.

That matters here more than most cities. Abu Dhabi’s sun, air-conditioning, and day-to-day pace can push hair into three common problems: dryness (especially on the ends), frizz (especially around the hairline and crown), and flatness (when hair loses bounce and shape). Add frequent heat styling, colour maintenance, or hard water, and it’s easy to feel like your hair never quite looks the way you want.

Professional hair care isn’t only about looking good in the salon mirror. It’s about predictability: a cut that grows out well, a colour that fades beautifully, and treatments that make hair easier to style at home. The best salons combine technique, product knowledge, and a plan that suits your lifestyle—workdays, events, family life, gym routines, and the local climate.

This guide is designed to make decisions simple. You’ll find a clear roadmap of the most requested hair salon services available at Sossi Beauty Centre in Abu Dhabi—what each service is best for, what to expect, and transparent prices listed on the hair services menu so you can plan with confidence.

What professional “hair salon services” should include are the following:

A truly professional service is more than the final look. It’s a full process designed to protect your hair and deliver consistent results in real life, not only for photos.

•  A consultation that considers hair health, colour history, scalp condition, and your styling routine.

• Clear recommendations and honest expectations before any major change (cut, colour, extensions, or smoothing).

•  Correct sectioning, timing, and application techniques that reduce damage and improve longevity.

• Finishing that matches your lifestyle—office, events, and family life—and the Abu Dhabi climate.

•  Aftercare advice so your results last longer between visits (and your hair stays healthier).

At Sossi, the hair menu is structured around real needs—cutting, styling, colouring, treatments, and extensions—with price ranges shown for many options so you can plan without guesswork.

Step 1: Know your hair before you book (so the service actually fits)

If you want salon results you love at home, start with the same basics a professional stylist looks at: hair texture, density, porosity, and your maintenance comfort. This takes one minute—and it prevents most “I’m not sure what to book” moments.

A quick hair check (1 minute)

Your current reality: Is your hair dry, frizzy, brittle, thin, or just “tired-looking”? Where does it misbehave most—ends, crown, hairline?

Your hair history: Any past bleaching, box dye, henna, keratin, or extensions? (Be honest—this protects your hair.)

Your daily routine: Do you heat-style often? Gym/swim frequently? Wear hijab regularly? How often do you wash?

Your goal: More shape? More shine? Less frizz? Lighter colour? Better coverage? More volume? Extra length?

Your maintenance level: Do you prefer frequent touch‑ups or a softer grow‑out that looks good for longer?

Once you know those answers, choosing the right hair salon services becomes simpler—and your stylist can recommend a plan that keeps your hair healthy between appointments.

Step 2: Choose the right hair salon services in Abu Dhabi (with prices)


Below are the hair services listed on Sossi Beauty Centre’s services page. Prices shown are the ranges displayed on the hair services menu. For services priced by length or per piece, your total depends on the look you choose.

1) Haircuts: clean lines, soft movement, and easy grow‑out

A haircut is the foundation of nearly every other service. When the shape is planned well, everything becomes easier: your blow‑dry lasts longer, your curls sit better, and your colour looks more intentional because the cut frames it.

In Abu Dhabi, a good haircut is also practical. It should handle humidity, survive a busy week, and still look good when you air‑dry it on a rushed morning.

Haircut options on the menu:

Kid Haircut (AED 50 – AED80): A gentle, patient approach focused on comfort, tidy shaping, and an easy finish.

Stylish Haircut (AED 150 – AED 200): Ideal when you want a visible change—reshaping layers, refining a bob, or adding face-framing movement.

Hair Trimming (AED 100): A strategic refresh to prevent split ends and keep the length looking fuller.

How to choose between a haircut and a trim

• Choose a trim if you like your current shape and mainly want healthier ends.
• Choose a haircut if your hair feels heavy, flat, or difficult to style—or if your face-framing no longer suits you.
• If you’re planning colour or extensions, a fresh cut elevates the final result dramatically.
• If your hair breaks easily, ask for a “maintenance cut” that removes damage without sacrificing overall length.

Stylist note: the best cuts consider how you actually wear your hair—straight, wavy, curly, or frequently tied up. During your consultation, mention your most common style so your haircut supports your real routine.

2) Blow-dries and styling: polished hair on demand

In Abu Dhabi—where heat and humidity can fight your hairstyle—professional styling can be the quickest route to confidence. A well‑done blow‑dry also shows your cut and color at their best because the hair is smoothed, shaped, and finished correctly.

Blow-dry services on the menu:

Straight Blowdry (AED 130 – AED 150): Sleek shine, reduced frizz, and a smooth finish that looks neat for work or events.

Curl/Wavy Blow-Dry (AED 130–AED 150): Soft waves that add volume and movement—occasion-ready without a full updo.

Make your blow-dry last longer (especially in humidity)

Ask for a finish that matches your hair type: lightweight for fine hair, slightly stronger hold for thick or frizz‑prone hair.
• If you step outside often, choose a smoother finish around the hairline and crown (those areas react fastest to humidity).
• Use a heat protectant at home and keep temperatures moderate—shine comes from healthy cuticles, not high heat.
 At night, protect the style: a loose bun or braid and a smooth pillowcase help reduce friction.
• If you’re prone to oily roots, ask for a finish that balances shine without heaviness so the style stays fresh.

3) Hair colour in Abu Dhabi: from root touch-ups to balayage

Hair color is where expertise matters most. The goal isn’t only to change your shade—it’s to create a tone that flatters your skin, looks beautiful in natural sunlight, and fades gracefully between appointments.

Because Abu Dhabi light is strong, colors can look different outdoors than it does indoors. A professional colorist plans for this—so your shade looks balanced in sunlight, under office lighting, and in photos.

Hair colour options on the menu:

Roots Colour (AED 250): Focused on new growth—a smart way to maintain your look without over‑processing mid‑lengths and ends.

Full hair colour by length: Short Hair (AED 350), Medium Hair (AED 500 – AED 600), and Long Hair (AED 600 – AED 1000).

Highlight / Balayage (AED 350 – AED 1000): Dimension and brightness with softer grow-out potential.

Rinsage (AED 250 – AED 500): A tonal refresh to add shine and correct brassiness or dullness.

Streak (1 pc) (AED 50 – AED 100): A targeted pop of brightness—flexible, customisable, and great for “try it first” changes.

How to decide which colour service is right for you

• Choose roots colour if your main concern is regrowth and you want to keep your existing shade consistent.
• Choose full colour if you want an all‑over change, to deepen/refresh your base, or to cover the full head evenly.
• Choose balayage/highlights if you want lightness and dimension with a softer grow‑out (less “hard line” regrowth).
• Choose a rinse if you like your overall colour but want it to look fresher—more shine, better tone, and less brass.
• Choose streaks if you want a small, face‑brightening change without committing to a full highlight service.

Tone tips: keep colour looking “expensive” between visits

• If your color turns brassy quickly, ask about rinsage timing (a tonal refresh can be a game-changer).
• Avoid very hot water on freshly coloured hair; lukewarm rinses help preserve tone.
• Use a conditioner or mask consistently—hydrated hair reflects light better, so colour looks shinier.
• If you spend time outdoors, protect your hair from UV (hats, scarves, or UV‑protective hair products).

4) Hair protein treatment: smoother, stronger, more manageable hair

If your hair feels rough, frizzy, or weak, colour alone won’t fix it. Treatments are what make hair feel healthy again—they can improve softness, reduce breakage, and help hair behave better in daily styling.

Think of treatments as a support system: they help your cut look cleaner, your colour look shinier, and your styling time feel easier.

Hair protein treatment options on the menu:

Protein Treatment – Front Side (AED 300): Targeted help for face‑framing pieces and frizz near the hairline.

Protein Treatment – Roots (AED 500): Focused strengthening and smoothing near the scalp area.

Protein Treatment – Full Hair (AED 600 – AED 700): An overall upgrade for softness, manageability, and reduced breakage.

Amazon (Roots) (AED 500) and Amazon (Full) (AED 1200 – AED 1500): Premium options for intensive smoothing and repair.

BB Creme (Roots) (AED 500) and BB Creme (Full) (AED 1000 – AED 1800):
Premium smoothing and shine‑focused options.

What to ask before booking a smoothing/protein service

• How long will results last for my hair type and routine?
• Can I colour my hair before or after this treatment—and how long should I wait?
• Will it reduce volume, mainly reduce frizz, or mostly improve softness and shine?
• What aftercare products protect the result (shampoo type, heat limits, masks)?
• If I wear extensions or plan to install them, how should we time this treatment?

Who typically loves protein/smoothing services

• Women who colour frequently and want hair to feel softer, not rough.
• Anyone who fights frizz around the hairline or crown (especially in humid months).
• Busy schedules: if you want faster styling in the morning, smoother hair is easier to manage.
• Hair that snaps or breaks easily: strengthening support can reduce daily breakage when combined with trims.

5) Hair extensions in Abu Dhabi: length, volume, and confidence—done correctly

Extensions can be transformative, but the best results look natural, feel comfortable, and are installed in a way that protects your natural hair. Choosing the right method depends on your hair density, your lifestyle (gym, swimming, heat styling), and how often you’re comfortable maintaining the set.

A) Clip‑in extensions (flexible, event‑friendly)

Hair Extension (each clip): AED 100

Clip-ins are ideal if you want temporary volume for weekends, photos, or special occasions—and you love the option to remove them at home. They’re also a great “trial” step before committing to longer‑wear extension methods.

For longer‑wear results, Sossi lists keratin extension options with per‑piece pricing by technique and hair length. This lets you customise the final look based on the amount of volume or length you want.

Micro Ring (per piece):

55–60 cm: AED 12 each
60–65 cm: AED 14 each
70–75 cm: AED 16 each
90–100 cm: AED 18

Keratin Glue (per piece):

55–60 cm: AED 12 each
60–65 cm: AED 14 each
70–75 cm: AED 16 each
90–100 cm: AED 18

Ice Keratin Techniques (per piece):

50–55 cm: AED 14 each
60–70 cm: AED 16 each
70–75 cm: AED 18 each
90–100 cm: AED 20

B) Repairing hair extensions (maintenance, per piece)

•  Micro Ring (per piece): AED 3
•  Keratin Glue (per piece): AED 6
•  Ice Keratin (per piece): AED 10
 Changing Sticker Extensions (per pc): AED 15

The menu also lists “Clip” and “Line Thread” extension methods. Pricing is typically confirmed during consultation, so the method and amount can be tailored to your hair.

How to choose the right extension method (simple guidance)

 Choose clip‑ins if you want temporary volume and easy removal at home.
 Consider micro rings or keratin methods if you want longer‑wear extensions with a natural blend.
 Ask for a colour match in natural light (not only indoor lighting).
 Discuss your daily routine—gym, swimming, frequent heat styling—so the method suits your lifestyle.
 If your hair is fine or fragile, prioritise comfort and hair health over maximum weight/length.

Extension aftercare in a hot climate (simple rules that save your hair)

• Brush gently, starting from the ends and working upward—especially when hair is dry.
• Avoid heavy oils near bonds or rings; keep products lightweight where the extensions are attached.
• Reduce high heat; use a heat protectant and keep tools moving (no lingering).
• Dry roots thoroughly after washing to prevent tangling near bonds/rings.
• Book maintenance before issues grow: small adjustments keep everything blending naturally.

6) Moroccan hair treatment: a ritual for comfort and shine

If you love a “fresh, soft, comfortable” hair feel—especially when hair has been stressed by colour or daily styling—Moroccan hair treatment sessions can be a beautiful reset.

Single Session (AED 250): Ideal if you want to experience the benefits without committing to a full plan.
• Package (5+2) Sessions (AED 1250): A consistency‑based plan for ongoing improvement over time.

Many women like Moroccan treatments as part of a monthly routine—especially when the weather shifts or hair starts feeling dry again.

Step 3: Plan your salon visit for the best results



The most common reason clients feel disappointed after a salon visit isn’t the technique—it’s miscommunication. A few simple steps before you sit down can turn “I hope I like it” into “Yes, this is exactly what I wanted.”

• Bring reference photos—but choose realistic ones that match your hair texture and density.
• Share your hair history honestly (box dye, henna, previous bleaching, past keratin).
 Decide your maintenance level: frequent touch‑ups or softer grow‑out.
• Ask about timing so you can plan your day—especially for color, balayage, and extensions.
Confirm aftercare: which products to use, how often to treat, and when to return.

A simple “hair calendar” that works for most women

If you like structure, here’s an easy way to plan your hair salon services across the month. Your stylist can tailor the exact timing based on your hair type and goals.

• Every 1–2 weeks: Blow-dry/styling when you want polish for work or events.
Every 6–10 weeks: Trim or haircut to keep the shape clean and prevent split ends.
• Every 4–6 weeks (if coloring): Root color maintenance for consistent coverage.
• Every 8–14 weeks: Rinse/toner refresh when your color dulls or turns warm.
• Every 3–4 months: Highlights/balayage refresh if you want dimension with softer grow‑out.
Seasonally (or as needed): Protein/smoothing treatments when frizz or dryness returns.
Extensions: Maintenance timing depends on the method—ask for a personalized schedule at installation.

Aftercare tips for Abu Dhabi hair (so your results last longer)



Professional hair salon services are only half the equation. The other half is what you do at home—especially in a climate that can dry hair out quickly.

Protect from the sun: UV exposure can fade color and dry the hair fiber.
 Watch heat styling: use heat protectant and choose lower temperatures when possible.
• Hydrate and seal: conditioner plus a lightweight leave-in reduces frizz and improves shine.
Be gentle at night: a loose braid/bun and a smooth pillowcase reduce friction and tangling.
Maintain your tone: ask how to keep color balanced after highlights/balayage or rinse.
• If you wear extensions, keep products light near bonds and follow maintenance guidance.
Be consistent: a simple routine done regularly beats a “big fix” done once.

A quick “at‑home kit” checklist (what most women benefit from)

• A gentle shampoo and conditioner suited to your hair (color-safe if you color).
• A weekly mask for softness and hydration (especially for coloured hair).
• A lightweight leave‑in or serum for frizz control on mid‑lengths and ends.
• A heat protectant if you blow‑dry or use hot tools.
• A soft brush/comb that reduces breakage, especially if you have extensions.

What is the difference between full color and root color?

Root color focuses only on new growth, keeping the rest of your hair protected from unnecessary processing. Full color applies to more of the hair (often the whole head), which is ideal for an overall shade change or when the mid‑lengths/ends also need refreshing.

Is balayage worth it in Abu Dhabi?

Balayage can be worth it if you want a softer grow-out and natural dimension. It’s also a great option if you prefer fewer full‑head color appointments, because the regrowth line tends to be more blended than traditional highlights.

What is a rinse, and when should I book it?

A rinse is a tonal refresh—often used to correct brassiness, add shine, and make color look ‘new’ again. Book it when you like your overall shade but want it fresher without a full color service.

Which hair salon services are best for damaged hair?

If your hair is dry, frizzy, or weak from heat and color, treatments can be a powerful reset. A targeted or full protein treatment can improve manageability and reduce breakage. Pairing treatments with regular trimming helps prevent split ends from travelling.

Do smoothing/protein treatments make hair flat?

It depends on the formula and your hair type. Some treatments primarily reduce frizz and improve softness, while others can slightly relax the curl pattern. That’s why a consultation is important—so your stylist can match the treatment to your goal (shine, softness, frizz control, strength).

Can I colour my hair and do a treatment in the same week?

Often yes, but timing matters. Some smoothing/protein services have specific wait times before or after colouring. Ask your stylist to plan the order so you protect your hair’s health and get the best result.

What should I tell my stylist during the consultation?

Your hair history (especially any previous bleach/henna), your daily routine, what you love or dislike about your current hair, and your maintenance comfort. Clear communication is the fastest route to a result you’ll love.

I’m not sure whether I need a haircut or a treatment—what’s the rule?

If your main problem is shape (your hair feels heavy, uneven, or unflattering), book a haircut. If your main problem is texture (frizz, dryness, roughness, breakage), book a treatment. Many women do both: a trim to clean the ends plus a treatment to improve feel.
