Rest assured, your locks are in very safe hands in Dammam. There are countless salons across the city and in Al Khobar that specialise in everything from curly hair and braids to retro blow-dries and glamorous waves. Haircare is huge here, so expect to see extensive treatment options appearing on all salons’ service lists, alongside cuts, colours and styling. You’ll normally find other beauty services, including nails, lashes and brows on the menu too.
From high-end to budget-friendly, most salons offer competitive prices, and you’ll probably pay a little less for great service here than you would in other major Saudi cities. This is our pick of the best hair salons in Dammam.
1. Gloss’d
Award-winning salon Gloss’d is regularly touted as one of the top spots in Al Khobar for hair care. The pretty green-and-gold decor with plush velvet chairs and greenery-covered walls makes Gloss’d feel like a sanctuary in the midst of a busy city – a perfect place to unwind. And it’s a good job it does, as some of the most intensive services, such as the Protein Hair Treatment, can take four hours or more.
Other options include braids, extensions, clipping, trims and cuts. Talented stylists can turn their hands to everything from glamorous blow-drys and intricate updos to retro finger waves and bouncy curls. There’s also an extensive range of colour options: highlights, lowlights, balayage, ombre, contour and full colour.
