The Good Stuff
Style memory
One regular says the team remembers his haircut, so he does not need to explain the same style on every visit.
Photo matching
A customer with long, thick hair said a specific hairstyle was reproduced precisely from a photo on their phone.
Easy parking
Parking is singled out as a practical advantage, especially for customers driving to the salon.
Extra treatments
Reviews also mention facial treatment, waxing, wash services and manicures alongside the core barber work.
Tips for a Better Visit
Bring photos. For a precise style, bring a reference photo and show exactly what you want before the cut begins.
Confirm extras. Ask for the price and confirm every service before it is added; several reviews mention pressure to take extras.
Check pricing. Confirm the total first, since customers report very different bills for cuts and beard work.
Book weekends. Reserve ahead if visiting on a weekend, when one review says the salon gets crowded.
Plan parking. Driving is relatively practical according to one customer, who specifically found the salon easy to park at.

The Bottom Line
Sharp Scissors is a gents salon in Al Barsha where the main draw is barbering: customers come for haircuts, fades, beard trims and beard line-ups. Several reviews describe precise work, including a fade and beard service for Afro hair, while another customer said a detailed hairstyle was matched from a phone photo. Facial treatment, waxing, wash services and manicures also appear in the feedback, so it is not limited to a basic cut.
The strongest pattern is that the experience can depend on the barber and the visit. Regulars praise consistent results and staff who remember a preferred style, but another customer visited three times and said requests were ignored, including an uneven cut for a child. There are also complaints about a rushed finish, facial redness and poor cleaning.
Check the price before work starts. Reported bills range from 80 AED for sides and beard marking to 189 AED for a haircut, beard and hair oil, and 240AED for a haircut, beard trim and face mask. Some reviewers also mention pressure to add services.
Parking is described as easy, while weekends can be crowded, making a reservation worthwhile.
