I had my hair colored by Mr. Salim on 23 September 2025. He is very professional and highly skilled. I came in with multiple colors like rainbow 😂 and he did his best to correct everything in just one day, as I couldn’t stay longer in the US. He also gave me a haircut. He is not only focused on money, he generously provided me with the exact colors and tones so I could maintain the color when back home. I truly wish he could come to Saudi Arabia,we really need professional hairstylists like him at reasonable prices.

Salim is a great hair stylist! He really knows how to cut and style curly hair at a reasonable price. He also takes the time to understand my hair and listen to what I want. I’m always happy with the end product and highly recommend Salim’s services!
