The Good Stuff
First haircuts
Several reviews describe smooth first haircuts, including toddlers who previously cried or had never sat through a cut.
Child comfort
Car-shaped chairs and active engagement can make the visit easier for young children who dislike haircuts.
Hair precision
Customers have praised careful, precise cuts and attention to the requested style, including different approaches for straight and wavy long hair.
Curly hair
One parent was pleased with a cut that handled a four-year-old’s curls well.
Quick service
A review describes a toddler’s first cut as smooth, easy and very quick.
Warm welcome
The reception experience has also been praised, with one first-time visitor noting a polite, warm welcome.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book ahead. Reserve in advance if possible; one review specifically advises booking ahead after using the salon for children of different ages.
Confirm price. Check the current price of the girls combo package before travelling, as one customer reported a change from 100aed online to 135aed on arrival.
Clarify trim. For curly hair, explain the desired length and shape clearly and ask to see the hair fully combed before cutting.
Bring a photo. Bring a reference photo, but also confirm the plan verbally; one customer said the photo and instructions were not followed.
Ask timing. If your child is distressed, ask whether the cut can be completed efficiently; one first haircut was described as very quick.

The Bottom Line
RMK Kids Salon is a children’s hair salon in Jumeirah at Mercato Mall, focused on kids’ haircuts, first haircuts and styling for young children. Reviews describe a welcoming setup where car-shaped chairs, shows and patient handling can make a difficult appointment feel manageable. Some children who previously cried reportedly sat through their cuts calmly.
The strongest pattern is staff patience with toddlers and nervous children. Parents mention first haircuts, cuts for curly hair, and different approaches for straight or wavy long hair. One child watched a show from a parent’s lap, while another review describes a toddler’s cut as smooth, easy and quick.
The salon also handles older children, including a reported new look for an 11-year-old. There are important caveats. Several customers reported uneven or poor-quality cuts, including different lengths, an unwanted style despite showing a photo, and a curly-haired child receiving more than the requested trim.
Appointment handling was criticised in one review. Pricing should also be confirmed before arrival: a girls combo package was reported as 100aed online but 135aed on the salon price list. For a first visit, book ahead and be very clear about the desired length, shape and finish.
