mariadowling Salon is an award-winning Dubai-based hair concept, founded by Creative Director and the Middle East’s ‘Queen of Colour’ Maria Dowling. Since 2002, Maria and her team of internationally trained colourists and stylists have gained regional and international recognition for their natural, subtle approach to hair colouring.
SALON
mariadowling Salon still remains the Middle East’s only colour-specialist salon, with a hand-picked team of internationally trained colourists and stylists, led by Creative Director and ‘Queen of Colour’, Maria Dowling.
Designed to meet the needs of women who consider hair colour to be a significant part of their overall image, the salon, in Dubai’s upmarket Jumeirah district, has been carefully designed to create a truly unique hairdressing environment. Comfort and relaxation is key, with specially designed chairs, natural lighting and a unique one-on-one experience with the stylist, from initial colour consultation right through to final blow-dry.
Maria believes that women look forward to their hairdressing appointment more than any other treatment. “Clients don’t just come to mariadowling because they want to look good, they come to us so that they can escape the pressures and demands of their everyday lives and focus on themselves for a short time. Not only do we want our customers to leave the salon looking fabulous, we want them to leave feeling wonderful too.”
It is this unique customer-focused philosophy, along with the natural colouring skills of the talented team that has helped mariadowling become the premier hair colouring destination in the Middle East.

REVIEWS
The booking process was easy and straightforward.
The whole team was kind and friendly.
Maja did an amazing job with my color. We had a nice discussion over things I can do better at home to love my hair more. Very very happy with my hair..Maja is so sweet, she took into account what was important for me and what I want for my hair and made it came true in color. My hair fairy godmother 🥰
I loved the service with Karly or something like that. I can't recall her name, but back in 2018, she had the best hair color I've ever seen. Then in 2025, she booked again for a color, but she left the salon and was matched with another stylist who suggested things I didn't like. Like giving me a golden baby microlight.
I had the Organic Botox hair treatment at Maria Dowling Salon in Dubai on the 19th of November and I can honestly say I am still feeling the benefits. Maya, who did my treatment, recommended it after assessing my hair, and I am so glad I trusted her advice, it worked extremely well.
The anti-frizz results have been amazing, and my hair feels healthier, smoother, and much more manageable even weeks later. Maya was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced, which made the whole experience even better. I will definitely be going back for my follow up treatment in the near future and highly recommend both the salon and Maya.

My experience was truly amazing. From the very first moment, I felt comfortable and well taken care of. The entire team is extremely professional, kind, and genuinely wonderful.
I would especially like to thank Maya — she is incredibly talented, patient, and so sweet. She took great care of me and worked with so much attention and care until she gave me the most beautiful colour.
Thank you all so much for the effort and hard work. It was a lovely experience, and I’m truly very happy. Wishing you continued success always 🤍
I’ve been seeing Maya at Mariadowling Salon for a while, and I can’t recommend her enough! She takes care of all my long hair needs and always does an amazing job with highlights, haircuts, and blow-dries. I always leave feeling great. She also gives excellent tips on maintaining healthy hair and even hair growth, which have really worked for me. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your hair, Maya is the one!
