The Good Stuff
Beard skills
Reviews specifically praise the salon’s beard work alongside fades and haircuts.
Clean setting
Customers describe the salon as clean, professional and comfortable, with attention to hygiene.
Quick visits
One customer received a haircut and hair wash in 30 minutes, useful when time is tight.
Relaxing interior
The wall waterfall and City Walk surroundings are memorable features for customers seeking a calmer salon visit.
Repeat custom
Several reviewers say they have returned for years or visit weekly, pointing to strong barber-client continuity.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm colour. For blonde or white colour work, confirm the achievable shade and result again before booking; one customer’s appointment changed after arrival.
Check pricing. Ask for the full price of every treatment before starting, especially when combining a beard cut with a facial.
Show references. Bring a clear photo and repeat the fade height and finish you want, since one review describes difficulty communicating the requested style.
Book ahead. Reserve a slot if your timing is fixed; one customer only got an appointment despite the salon being booked.

The Bottom Line
X Hair Lounge Gents Salon City walk is a men’s grooming stop in Al Wasl where customers come for haircuts, fades, beard trims, shaves and occasional colour work. The strongest pattern is skilled, detailed barbering: reviews describe barbers checking the shave and style against the client’s taste, handling beards well and producing a haircut plus hair wash in 30 minutes. The setting is part of the appeal.
Customers mention a clean, comfortable salon, sanitized tools, drinks at reception and a distinctive waterfall feature in the wall. Several people have returned weekly or for years, suggesting that finding the right barber can lead to dependable repeat visits. Booking ahead is sensible if your schedule is tight.
There are important caveats. Colour appointments have produced serious mismatches in two reviews, including blue or silver instead of blonde and uncertainty over a requested white shade. Communication has also been a problem for some clients, so bring a photo and confirm the fade height carefully.
Check the complete price before treatment: one reviewer reported paying 450 AED for a beard cut and facial treatment, while another cited 1,000 AED for colour and a haircut. Pedicure feedback was less positive than the haircut reviews, and thick-haired customers may want to ask about suitability first.
