The Good Stuff
First haircut
First-haircut visits can include a certificate with a lock of hair and the date, making it a memorable keepsake.
Kid distraction
Children can sit in a car-style chair and use screen time to stay focused during the haircut.
ASD experience
One review specifically mentions expertise in haircuts for children with ASD.
Men’s service
Reviews describe the salon as suitable for dads and mention both men’s haircuts and shaves.
Small salon
A reviewer describes it as a lovely, small and humble salon where staff were gentle with a child.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check rates. Confirm the rate card before the service; one customer said the final charge was 25% higher than the quoted price.
Confirm booking. Call to reconfirm your child’s slot, since a booked appointment was reportedly unavailable on arrival.
Women’s cuts. For an adult women’s cut, ask who has specific experience before proceeding; one long-length request ended in a short cut.
Certificate fee. If you want the first-haircut keepsake, ask about the separate certificate fee before the visit.
Allow time. Leave extra time around the appointment, as reviews report long waits even when the booking was made in advance.

The Bottom Line
Orlando Hairstylist is a children-and-gents salon in Jumeirah Lake Towers, with its strongest reputation built around children’s haircuts. Reviews describe stylists staying calm through meltdowns, changing moods and difficult first visits, while still producing clean, even cuts. Men can also come for a haircut or shave, and some customers have used it for both children and dads.
For a child’s first haircut, the salon has a car-style chair and screen time to help keep attention on something other than the scissors. A certificate can record the first haircut with a lock of hair and the date; one review says this certificate cost an additional 50dhs. Another review specifically mentions haircuts for children with ASD, though experiences are not uniformly positive.
The practical cautions are important. Customers have reported appointments not being available at the booked time, long waits, inconsistent prices and a final charge 25% above the quoted amount. Check the rate card before starting and reconfirm the slot.
Adult women’s cuts are a particular risk: one customer asked to keep long hair and received a short cut instead. Recent reviews also describe staff turnover, weaker results and cleanliness concerns, so expectations should be set carefully.
