Every cosmetic product sold or distributed in Dubai must be registered with Dubai Municipality through Montaji, and professional products carry their own label. The city also welcomed 19.59 million overnight visitors in 2025, staying 3.7 nights on average. Salongram keeps the diary, clients and payments in Arabic or English, but it does not track product registrations.

Salongram is a free salon booking app for Dubai salons and barbershops: appointments, clients, staff hours and WhatsApp reminders in one Android app.
Two things set Dubai apart from the rest of the country guide. The emirate checks the products on your shelves, not only your premises and staff, through its own registration system. And the city hosts millions of visitors every year, most of them for only a few nights.
Dubai Municipality's cosmetics guideline, updated on 15 September 2025, says no cosmetic product may be manufactured, imported, exported, advertised, sold or distributed in Dubai unless it is registered in the Montaji system. Whoever imports or makes the product, or has it made, applies through the municipality's website.
The same guideline defines professional-use products as those not sold at retail but used directly by experts at beauty centres, clinics and spas, and requires the words "For Professional use only" on the label. Acid products such as AHA peels have a minimum pH of 3 for professional use, against 3.5 for retail.
The Government of Dubai Media Office reported 19.59 million international overnight visitors in 2025, up 5% from 18.72 million in 2024, the third record year in a row. December was the first month above two million visitors, at 2.04 million.
Hotels in Dubai sold 44.85 million occupied room nights in 2025, with guests staying 3.7 nights on average. Visitors from the GCC numbered 2.99 million and from the wider Middle East and North Africa 2.17 million. A visitor who wants a cut or a blow-dry has those few nights to fit it in.
Every cosmetic product used or sold in Dubai must be registered in Montaji. Salongram does not check registration, but a note on the client's profile can record the colour or treatment product used, so you know what went on whom.
Products labelled For Professional use only are meant for experts. Link services such as AHA peels to the staff trained for them, and the booking screen offers only those people.
Hotel guests in Dubai stayed 3.7 nights on average in 2025, so a visitor has a short window. A booking link sent by message lets them pick a real free time the same day, and you accept it in the app.
December 2025 was the first month above two million visitors. In peak weeks the waiting list shows who wants a slot, so a cancellation goes straight to the next client.
Nearly three million visitors came from GCC countries in 2025. Staff can run Salongram in Arabic or English on their own phones, with every price in dirhams.
We found no official data on how clients book salons in Dubai, so this page does not guess. Salongram puts every booking, from a regular's WhatsApp to a hotel guest walking in, in one diary per stylist, and shows the next free time with each person in seconds.
A visitor asks for a beard trim this evening: the schedule shows each barber's free time, and the booking takes two steps.
The scheduleAdd a visitor as a client with just a name and phone number, or record the visit as a quick cash or card payment without a profile at all.
Clients and quick paymentsEach phone can run in Arabic, read right to left, or in English, with prices in dirhams, so the owner and a mixed team can each use their own language.
LanguagesAn illustrative evening, not research: a five-chair men's barbershop in Deira, open every day until late, where regulars book on WhatsApp and hotel guests walk in. The demo on this page uses a similar barbershop, in Arabic.
Two regulars confirm their usual Thursday fades; both are already in the diary from last month's rebooking.
A hotel guest walks in for a hot towel shave; the barber with a free half hour takes him and the visit is saved as a quick payment.
A client cancels; the waiting list shows a regular who asked for any evening slot, and he is booked in.
The sales report splits card and cash for the day before the shutters come down.
Type in your own numbers. A no-show is a slot nobody else could take; reminders and a waiting list are how most salons win part of it back.
An estimate from the numbers you enter (a month counted as 4.33 weeks). Nothing is sent or stored. Salongram is free to download.
Download Salongram free, pick the language for this phone and UAE dirhams, and add your services, from fades and shaves to facials.
Give each person their working days, hours and breaks, so late shifts and days off show in the diary and the booking link.
Create the optional account to get your booking link and QR code, and put the code at the counter for visitors to book their next visit.
Yes. Dubai Municipality's guideline says no cosmetic product may be sold or distributed in Dubai unless it is registered in Montaji, and professional-use products must be labelled as such. Salongram does not handle product registration; check with your suppliers and the municipality.
Yes. Add them as a client with a name and phone number, or take a quick payment without a profile. Visitors stayed 3.7 nights on average in 2025, so the booking link and same-day slots matter more than long-term rebooking for them.
Yes. The language is set on each phone, so the owner can work in Arabic, read right to left, while the team uses English, all with prices in dirhams.
No. It works the same for men's barbershops, ladies' salons, nail bars and beauty centres. The sample salon on this page is a men's barbershop in Deira.
