The Good Stuff
Beard work
Beard trims and shaping are repeatedly praised, including neatly lined-up beards alongside clean fades.
Child friendly
Parents report patient, gentle haircuts for toddlers, babies and older children, including a first cut where the baby did not cry.
Clean shop
Reviews consistently mention clean facilities, an organised shop and professional customer service.
Small comforts
Customers can have coffee or tea during their visit, adding a practical touch to the grooming experience.
Skin services
The reviews mention a facial scrub and a nail service alongside barbering, useful if you want more than a haircut.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm extras. If you only want a haircut, state clearly that you do not want treatments or add-ons before the service begins.
Seek consistency. If maintaining the same style matters, ask to book with the barber who already knows your preferred cut and finish.
Bring children. For a baby’s first haircut, ask about the child-friendly car seat setup; one parent said the baby stayed calm throughout.
Add a scrub. If you want a fuller grooming visit, ask whether the haircut package can include a beard trim and facial scrub.
Try skinfade. For a regular fade, specify a skinfade when booking; one customer visited weekly for that service.

The Bottom Line
Dear Barber is a Circle Mall barber shop serving Jumeirah Village Circle, with reviews focused on precise haircuts, beard shaping and fades. Customers say the barbers listen carefully, take time over the finish and usually deliver the style requested rather than rushing through it. One long-term customer has returned weekly for a skinfade, while another described a haircut and beard trim as consistently sharp.
It is also a practical choice for families. Parents describe patient, gentle cuts for toddlers and babies, including a four-month-old’s first haircut that passed without tears. A small car seat setup was mentioned as a fun distraction for children.
The shop is repeatedly described as clean, organised and welcoming. The grooming menu mentioned in reviews goes beyond a basic cut: customers have had a facial scrub, nail service and a hair-and-beard dandruff treatment. Coffee and tea are also available during visits.
If you want a more complete session, ask whether a package includes the services you need. There is one clear caution. A reviewer reported persistent upselling around a 200dirham treatment and had to decline extra treatment more than once.
Confirm the price and any add-ons upfront if you only want the haircut you booked.
