I love how as a society we have evolved out of the ‘girls-look-good-with-long-hair’ narrative. I see many women with such amazing haircuts, and whilst women are carrying their hairdos confidently, it is the many stylists in the city that have made this progress possible. I still remember that a decade ago I went to Muneeba’s to have my long tresses cut and was met by awe of the girl sitting next to me asking how I can do this to myself. My inspiration for cutting my hair was my cousin who put it very simply ‘its hair, it’ll grow back’. So, for those of you looking for a trim, a new cut or simply a change in your look, here’s a list of our favourite salons in Lahore.
ALI TEISEEN, GULBERG
Ali and Teiseen, both having graduated from Vidal Sasoon in the 1980’s have seen it all when it comes to hair styling. They have a nifty place in Gulberg for a cut, colour and other hair services. Their haircuts range between Rs. 5000 to Rs. 10,000.
TONY & GUY, MM ALAM ROAD, GULBERG & DHA
Shammal has made quite the name for Tony & Guy in Lahore. It is the go to place for many men, women and children. They offer a range of cut, colouring and other services. It’s always better to walk in with an appointment as their salons are packed.

AIMEN SHAH AT STUDIO 42, GULBERG
