The Good Stuff
Hair expertise
A barber successfully shaped thin, patchy post-transplant hair so the thinning was less noticeable.
Curly hair
A medium fade and beard trim were handled well despite the customer’s curly, frizzy hair.
No upsells
One customer specifically appreciated getting the requested cut without package pressure or upselling.
Comfortable manicure
The manicure and pedicure were described as comfortable and pain-free by a first-time customer.
Relaxed setting
Customers describe a clean, stylish atmosphere, with free Wi-Fi and coffee also mentioned.
Tips for a Better Visit
Bring photos. Show a reference photo for a more involved style; one customer used a picture to discuss a perm result.
Discuss length. If you want a perm or major change, confirm the required hair length before booking the treatment.
Mention texture. Tell the barber about curly or frizzy hair in advance so the cut can be adapted accordingly.
State preferences. Explain the desired cut clearly and ask for checks during the service if detail matters to you.

The Bottom Line
Upgrade Barbershop is a Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) grooming shop where the strongest review pattern is careful, tailored barbering. Customers come for clean fades, beard trims and ordinary-looking cuts done with unusual attention to detail, but the feedback also covers more involved work: one customer with thin, patchy hair after a transplant received a style that made the thinning less noticeable. It is not limited to hair.
Reviews mention facials, manicure and pedicure treatments, and full grooming sessions that combine several services in one visit. The nail service was described as comfortable and pain-free by a customer who usually finds manicures and pedicures uncomfortable. A relaxing head massage and free coffee or Wi-Fi also appear in the feedback.
For a first visit, bring a reference photo when asking for a particular style and discuss length before booking a perm; one customer was initially told their hair was too short, then achieved the desired result after a later consultation. It is also worth explaining your hair texture and preferences clearly. Reviews describe the shop as clean, stylish and welcoming, while one customer specifically appreciated not being pushed into packages or upsells.
No customer-reported pricing figure was provided, though one review calls the prices reasonable compared with elsewhere.
