Al Katheeb Interiors designs and fits out salons and barbershops across Dubai — combining hygiene-conscious layouts, premium finishes, and fast turnaround for retail and mall units, from concept design through custom joinery and handover.
A salon has to feel indulgent to the client sitting in the chair and be practical for the stylist standing behind it — station spacing, plumbing runs, storage, and lighting all have to work together, not just look good in a mood board.
What's Included
- Space planning (stations, wash areas, retail display, private treatment rooms)
- Concept design and material/finish selection
- Plumbing and electrical coordination for wash stations and equipment
- Custom joinery — reception desks, styling stations, retail shelving
- Mall/landlord fit-out guideline compliance support (common for retail-unit salons)
How Much Does a Salon Fit-Out Cost in Dubai?
Salon and barbershop fit-outs in Dubai typically cost AED 250–550 per square foot depending on the number of stations, plumbing complexity, and finish level — a 1,200 sq ft salon commonly ranges from AED 300,000–650,000 all-in. (Directional estimate.)
FAQs
Can you fit out a salon inside an existing mall retail unit?
Yes — most of our salon projects are inside mall or retail-strip units, which means working within the landlord's fit-out guidelines and timeline windows in addition to the design itself.
How fast can a salon fit-out be completed?
A straightforward 800–1,500 sq ft salon fit-out typically takes 6–10 weeks from approved design to handover, assuming approvals move in parallel with procurement.
