Overview
Dubai beauty salon licence requirements
A beauty salon licence in Dubai requires a mainland professional trade licence from DET with beauty salon, hairdressing, or personal care activity codes, plus Dubai Municipality approval for personal care establishments covering hygiene, ventilation, and equipment standards.
Salon setup must comply with gender-specific licensing rules (ladies salon, gents salon, or unisex where permitted), minimum premises specifications, sterilisation requirements, and staff health fitness certificates.
KPM Global Services guides salon entrepreneurs through activity selection, Ejari commercial tenancy, Municipality inspection, and visa planning for stylists and reception staff.
