November 2025, Acquisition International | 11 Redefining the Salon Experience through Education and Empowerment ara Rose Salons is a brand of hair and beauty salons based in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, offering individual and family services that transcend the ordinary. Built upon a sturdy foundation of core values – comprising mindset, self-development, confidence, self-care, and transformation – the brand allows these values to guide its daily operations, as well as its overarching mission: to redefine the salon experience by merging beauty with wellness. The company was founded by Director Tara Rose Kidd, a prominent figure in the beauty industry. Serving as the driving force behind the Tara Rose brand, she boasts more than two decades of experience collaborating with industry leaders in London, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. In 2015, Tara Rose leveraged this experience to embark on an entrepreneurial journey, with the aim of establishing salons aligned with her unique vision and values – leading to the creation of the first Tara Rose Salon in Abu Dhabi. Currently, the Tara Rose brand operates four company-owned salons across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, each designed to deliver the same premium, wellness-driven experience. These flagship destinations also double as training hubs for the salon’s education and franchise network, showcasing the unrivalled strength and scalability of the Tara Rose Salon model. In a crowded market, Tara Rose Salons stands out for its mission and vision of transforming the beauty and wellness industry. “We are not only creating exceptional client experiences today but also reshaping what the industry can look like in the future,” Tara Rose told us. “Every guest journey is designed to transform not just their look but also their confidence and mindset. From our signature consultations to the Glow Club memberships, we provide clients with consistent care that nurtures both their appearance and wellbeing.” The franchise offers a wide range of treatments, including hair services, massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, and waxing. Its flagship offering is the Glow Club Membership, a 30-day reset that integrates hair-, skin- , and hand-care into a sole, comprehensive programme that focuses on self-care and rejuvenation at its core. Clients have described the membership as “the ultimate confidence boost,” and often share that it helps them to stay committed to their beauty and wellness routines. Beyond treatments, the Tara Rose brand has also integrated education into its service model; the Tara Rose Academy is a Dubai-based academy dedicated to supporting and empowering hairdressers and businessowners in their journey to growth and success. The Academy offers courses for every level – from learning key fundamentals to the latest hair trends – and focuses on the holistic development of its students, prioritising mindset, communication, and essential business tools to ensure a well-rounded professional transformation. The salon industry is evolving rapidly, with clients expecting increasingly personalised, holistic, and tech-enabled experiences. Remaining abreast of such developments is vital, and Tara Rose has embraced this shift by integrating AI-driven insights to match clients to services with accuracy, improve follow-ups, and personalise their journeys. These implementations have strengthened both the brand’s client retention and operational efficiency, ensuring that Tara Rose Salons stays ahead of industry changes whilst remaining true to its core mission: combining beauty with wellness. Tara Rose Salons prides itself on meeting these evolving demands, successfully balancing luxury client experiences, structured education, and franchise scalability. This unique blend sets the brand apart in the market, positioning Tara Rose Salons as a strong, investable business model. In addition to embedding AI and digital innovation into every layer of the business, Tara Rose Salons will be investing further in education and training platforms to nurture the next generation of leading stylists, leaders, and franchise partners. Named the UAE’s Best Hair Salon Brand 2025, Tara Rose Salons is also aiming to expand into multiple new markets across the GCC, creating a proven franchise model that balances brand culture with scalable systems. The brand has recently launched its first international franchise in Bahrain and aims to continue on this momentum, demonstrating how effectively its values, education, and culture can scale. “Our vision for the next five years is anchored in two pillars: franchise growth and education,” Tara Rose announced. “By staying focused on these priorities, we are building a brand that is scalable, investable, and future-ready.” Contact: Tara Rose Kidd Company: Tara Rose Salons Web Address: www.tararosesalon.com A visit to the salon should go beyond aesthetics; it should be a moment of transformation, in which the client leaves feeling seen, supported, and rejuvenated.
