Description
BFS currently has several beauty salons for sale across Dubai, with prices starting from AED 250,000. The list covers both established salons with a trading history and turnkey sites ready to open under a new name.
Because the businesses vary in size, location and price, the right one depends on what a buyer is after. Some are small owner-operated salons suited to a stylist or therapist going out on their own. Others are larger sites with staff already in place, better suited to an investor who wants the business to run without them.
What is available
- Locations across Dubai, including residential communities and high-footfall retail areas
- Prices starting from AED 250,000
- A mix of established salons and turnkey ready-to-operate sites
- Ladies' salons, gents' salons and combined salon and spa businesses
- Sizes ranging from compact single-floor units to larger multi-room premises
Why buy an established salon rather than open one
- The licence, municipality and health approvals are already in place, which removes months of paperwork
- A trading salon comes with regular clients, and repeat custom is what makes a salon profitable
- Fit-out for a salon is expensive, and buying one that is already built usually costs less than doing it from scratch
- Trained staff and therapists are already employed and working, which is often the hardest part to get right when opening new

FAQ section
How much does a beauty salon cost in Dubai?
Current salons on the BFS list start from AED 250,000. Price depends on location, size, trading history and what is included in the fit-out.
How many salons are available?
Several are available across different areas of Dubai, and the list changes as businesses sell. Contact BFS for what is currently on the market.
Can I see the location before signing an NDA?
Exact locations are released after the NDA is signed. BFS can confirm the general area beforehand so buyers know whether it is worth pursuing.
Do the staff and clients transfer with the business?
In most cases yes, and this is one of the main reasons buyers choose an established salon. The exact position for each business is set out under NDA.
Can a foreign investor buy a salon in Dubai?
Yes. Foreign buyers can hold full ownership of most mainland Dubai companies. Salons also need municipality and health approvals, and these are covered during the process.
What licence does a beauty salon need in Dubai?
Salons operate under a beauty and personal care activity, with additional approvals depending on the treatments offered. Each business is checked so buyers know exactly what transfers.
