MK Barbers are worth every Dirham spent, as they really cater for your grooming needs. They are aware of the latest trends in the industry, along with their brilliant service.
They may not be as big of a place as you think, but they cover all your needs in the most elegant and fanciest way possible. Their products are not ordinary products, as they only use the best. Imagine being able to get the best service in which the products used for your hair and beard are designer-made (Tom Ford), does that not sound like a place you have to visit?!
Looking into my own journey, the following outlines what my experience was like:–
Let’s start off by the warm welcome I got by the staff, they left me feeling special already. After that, a young barber came to walk me to my seat, which by the way according to Musa Khalfan, the owner of MK Barber, says the chairs are custom made from Balmain Paris and specially delivered in from London. How AMAZING is that!
After this, the very professional barber asked me what I wanted to get done, to which I responded, “whatever you feel suits me”.
This was a way to challenge and see what MK Barbers staff can do to beautify a customer. He did exactly what I had in mind, believe it or not?! He completely changed my beard style and my hairstyle.
My hair has never felt better after the use of their products. Such brilliant products!
During this COVID-19 situation, they have made sure their safety standards are following all protocols. In fact they are so careful that each staff wears masks and gloves the entire time, along with the apron being disposable after each use.
One more thing, that is worth mentioning, if the above hasn’t already convinced you, there are some really famous people who come to this place. Some names include:
- International Football player – Bradley Kuwas
- Actor & Musician – Gary Durden
- Boxer – Anthony Joshua
- International Football Player – Patrice Evra
The owner, Musa Khalfan, was such a delight to meet as he is a true representation of entrepreneurism. He does not only run this absolutely fantastic joint, but he also dabs into various other businesses as well.
What makes this place stand out from other salons and barber shops is that the owner himself is involved in every day operations to ensure everything runs smoothly. He also creates personal relations with all his clients to make sure they get a pure personalised experience.
They do plan to expand in the long-run, but this Emirati owned gem of a place plans to keep it’s roots strong. According to Musa Khalfan, they will expand in the UAE first before taking the brands name abroad.
