The Good Stuff
Clean setting
Customers have described the salon as clean and well kept, with one visitor seeing tools and chairs being sanitised.
Curly perms
The salon handled a trendy perm with a voluminous curly top, faded sides and a healthy-looking result.
Relaxing extras
Facials, scalp massage and warm towels are mentioned as enjoyable additions to the haircut experience.
Walk-in access
At least one returning visitor got a haircut immediately without a pre-booked appointment.
Calm ambience
The salon’s peaceful atmosphere and relaxing water-wall feature stood out in separate reviews.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm prices. Before any shave, face wash or other add-on, ask for the individual price; reviews describe extras appearing without prior disclosure.
Clarify colour. For dye work, confirm exactly where the colour goes and the shade you want before the process starts.
Check finishing. If you are paying for a fuller service, confirm whether aftershave, combing and styling are included rather than assuming they are.
Allow flexibility. If you book a particular barber, leave buffer time: one appointment ran 15–20 minutes late and another hairdresser was assigned.
Try walk-in. A walk-in can sometimes work, as one returning visitor received a haircut immediately without booking.
Mention texture. If your hair is curly or difficult to manage, explain that clearly and ask whether scissors are the right approach.

The Bottom Line
X Hair Lounge Gents Barber is a men’s salon in Port Saeed, inside Deira City Centre. Customers come for regular cuts and beard grooming, but the review trail also covers more involved work: modern fades, a Zoomer Perm (Broccoli Cut), facial treatment and scalp massage. The strongest pattern is careful haircutting, especially scissor work and textured styles.
Cleanliness is another clear positive. One customer saw workers sanitising tools and chairs, while others described the salon as well kept, peaceful and relaxing. Walk-ins may be possible, although booked appointments are not always perfectly timed; one visitor waited 15–20 minutes for the chosen barber and was reassigned.
The main caution is price transparency. Multiple reviews say extra services were suggested or added without prices being explained, and a simple haircut was reported at AED 120. Finishing also varies: one customer paid AED 190 and expected aftershave, combing and more styling than they received.
If you are booking colour, specify the exact placement and shade, and confirm every add-on before work begins. For a straightforward cut, this looks most appealing when you communicate the brief clearly and agree on the total first.
