Who We Are
Built for men who
expect finesse and perfection.
Art of Grooming is the only premium barbershop inside Expo Village Dubai, serving residents, professionals, and visitors who refuse to compromise on the details.
Our Story
Not a gap in the market.
A conviction about where this city was heading.
Emily and Mohamed did not open Art of Grooming because there was a gap in the market. They opened it because they could see exactly where Dubai was heading, and they wanted to be there before everyone else caught up.
Expo City is not a suburb. It is the next centre of gravity for this city. The metro connections, the residential developments, the Dubai Exhibition Centre drawing executives and delegates from every corner of the world. This is where the professionals are moving, gathering, and building.
They watched a community of driven, high-standard men arrive here and quietly accept a compromise no one should have to make: drive forty minutes across the city, or settle for less. That was the moment. Not a slow decision. A conviction.
They opened in 2021, at the height of Expo 2020, when the world descended on Dubai and this address became one of the most visited places on earth. Delegates, executives and professionals from every country arrived at the Exhibition Centre two minutes from our door. Art of Grooming was there to meet them, chair ready, standards uncompromised.
One shop. A small team of specialists. No compromises. That was the promise from the first day, and it has not changed. Every cut here is intentional. Nothing is an afterthought.
Today, Art of Grooming is rated 4.9 out of 5 on Fresha with 280+ verified reviews, a record built one intentional cut at a time.
The Founders
Emily & Mohamed
With a combined 17 years of barbershop and salon experience across the UAE, Emily and Mohamed built Art of Grooming on the belief that professional men of Dubai’s fastest-growing corridor never had to compromise. They just needed someone with the conviction to show up first.

Three principles. No exceptions.
01
Precision
We take the time to understand your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle before we touch a pair of scissors. Consistency is not a coincidence.
02
Craft
Every barber here has earned their chair. We treat grooming as a discipline.
03
Respect
Your time is valuable. We move efficiently, we listen properly, and we don't cut corners. Walk out looking the part. Every time.
