The Good Stuff
Detailed Nails
The manicure and spa pedicure is described as detailed, while separate reviews praise the quality of the nail work.
Facial Grooming
Haircut appointments can include facial grooming, and one customer specifically praised the relaxing facial alongside a shave.
Clean Setting
Customers mention a clean, welcoming ambience and attentive reception, useful if the salon environment matters to you.
Straight Razor
The straight razor shave was praised for leaving the customer's face feeling soft and smooth.
Foot Treatment
A foot treatment received a particularly strong recommendation, making the shop relevant for grooming beyond hair.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Pricing. Ask for the full price before starting, especially if wash, face care or treatments are suggested.
Reject Extras. Clearly approve or decline every add-on; one visitor said a dry-scalp treatment was added without authorisation.
Allow Time. If booking a haircut and beard trim together, leave plenty of time because one customer reported a nearly two-hour visit.

The Bottom Line
Big City Barbershop in Umm Hurair covers more than the standard cut. Reviews mention skin fades, beard trims, facial grooming and straight-razor shaves, while the manicure and spa pedicure and foot-treatment services give it a broader grooming menu. Customers also describe a clean, welcoming setting and friendly reception.
Haircuts are often praised for detail: one visitor said a skin fade included a sharply cleaned-up hairline, line-up and wash treatment. Another said a straight-razor shave left the face soft and smooth. Nail and foot treatments also receive specific praise, rather than only general compliments.
The important caution is pricing. One customer paid 120 dhs for a haircut after declining an added dry-scalp treatment, while another reported 300 dirhams for hair and beard. A separate review complained about an 870 AED bill for hair cut, wash and face care.
These are customer-reported amounts, not a current price list, but they make it sensible to confirm every service and the total before work begins. Timing can vary sharply: some reviews call the service quick, while one haircut-and-beard visit took almost two hours. If you have a specific style in mind, explain it clearly and confirm the requested finish before starting.
