Dubai Municipality has introduced a fresh initiative designed to push local salons beyond basic health and safety compliance, aiming to set a new benchmark for excellence in the beauty industry. The 'Model Salon' status is a prestigious designation that rewards establishments for prioritizing high-quality service, environmental sustainability, and rigorous self-monitoring. To qualify, businesses must first secure an 'A' rating from the municipality's inspection team, after which they undergo an intensive secondary assessment to ensure they truly embody the gold standard of professional grooming.

This program evaluates salons based on three core pillars: service quality, environmental health, and sustainability. To earn the title, establishments are expected to provide comprehensive staff training and professional consultations to ensure a top-tier client experience. Simultaneously, they must maintain impeccable levels of hygiene, from advanced sterilization protocols to optimal air quality and workspace organization. By also integrating eco-friendly materials and robust recycling practices, these 'Model Salons' are not only improving the customer experience but are also leading the way in sustainable business operations across the city.
