First-time perm customers describe clear explanations, patient guidance and practical aftercare advice rather than being rushed through the process.
Reviews mention perms shaped to look naturally curly, including a Korean wavy style that came out sharp without looking artificial.
A reviewer specifically praised the smooth blend and sharp edges of the taper fade, with no rushing during the cut.
Haircut-and-beard visits are described as detailed and tailored to the client’s preferences, making this more than a quick clipper cut.
A customer reported noticeable improvement after the dandruff treatment, with their scalp feeling cleaner, calmer and healthier.
The shop is described as welcoming and relaxed, including during a perm and haircut visit that needed follow-up shaping.
One customer said a black-to-platinum-white colour change was completed without mistakes and produced a result they were happy with.
Confirm first. For unusual treatments, reconfirm exactly what will be done and which product will be used before travelling to the lounge.
Check extras. Before accepting add-ons such as a face scrub, ask for the price; one customer said an AED 195 charge was not disclosed in advance.
Ask aftercare. If you are new to perms, ask for step-by-step aftercare guidance so you know how to maintain the result once you leave.
Bring a photo. Bring a reference image for a fade or textured style; one customer used a photo to communicate the desired low fade and top texture.
Request massage. After the haircut and before shampooing, ask about the 20-minute head massage mentioned by a repeat customer.

A customer reported that this treatment noticeably improved a dry, flaky scalp and left it feeling calmer and healthier.
The men’s facial was described as refreshing and leaving the customer’s skin smooth without a greasy feel.
A customer praised the final colour after a consultation and hair-colouring service, saying it matched the requested ash silver shade.
One customer travelled nearly an hour after confirming a moustache treatment, then said the service changed after a strong-smelling chemical was applied.
A customer was charged AED 195 for a face scrub after knowing only the shave price, and said the extra cost was not explained beforehand.
One review says a promised student-price reduction was withdrawn when the customer arrived for the haircut.
A reviewer said their hair colour was acceptable initially but faded after only three washes.
The pedicure chair was described as uncomfortable for longer sessions, affecting both clients and barber ergonomics.

The Bottom Line
GQ Men’s Hair Lounge is a men’s barbershop and grooming salon in Jumeirah Lake Towers, with walk-ins welcomed daily and the lounge located near Sobha Realty Metro. Reviews make perms the clearest reason to consider it: customers mention Korean wavy and naturally curly results, careful consultations, and aftercare explanations for first-timers. Taper fades, beard grooming and textured cuts also receive specific praise.
This is not limited to haircuts. Customers have used the lounge for dandruff and scalp treatments, facials, pedicures, waxing, hair colouring and perms. One review describes a black-to-platinum-white colour change completed without mistakes, while another says a dandruff treatment made a noticeable difference within the scalp.
The atmosphere is generally described as welcoming, clean and relaxed. Do confirm the exact treatment before making a long trip, especially for less routine services: one customer said a moustache-perm appointment changed after a strong-smelling solution had been applied. Pricing also deserves a quick check before you agree to extras; a face scrub was reportedly charged at AED 195 without advance notice.
For a perm, appointments are recommended, and asking about products, process and aftercare should help set expectations clearly.
