Award-winning beauty expert Buthaina AlShomali is redefining what it means to care for hair and self, with salons that prioritise education, healthy beauty and meaningful client experiences.
With nearly two decades in the industry, Ms. AlShomali has established herself as one of Bahrain’s most trusted beauty professionals. Known for her warm personality and thoughtful approach, Ms. AlShomali brings more than makeup mastery to the table – she brings purpose.
Winner of the Woman in Beauty category at the Woman of the Year Awards 2024, Ms. AlShomali has not only built a loyal following but also a thriving business empire. Her journey began with a small salon in Busaiteen. Today, her vision has expanded into a second location in Riffa, a men’s salon and even a café – all united by a commitment to quality, comfort and community.
What sets her salons apart is their focus on education and individual care. “It’s not just about having beautiful hair at the salon,” says Ms. AlShomali. “It’s about knowing how to care for it every day.”
Healthy hair is a core principle in her approach. She discourages the use of cheap commercial shampoos and urges women to invest in the right products for their hair type. To support this, each salon visit includes a complimentary diagnosis using a high-resolution camera, allowing trained specialists to assess the scalp and hair condition before offering tailored treatment advice.
From advanced treatments using premium brands like Goldwell’s Rich Repair and Scalp Specialist ranges, to tips on avoiding heat damage and choosing the best leave-in products, Ms. AlShomali’s team ensures every client leaves with more than just a great look – they leave informed.
It’s this blend of expertise, authenticity and care that has earned Ms. AlShomali her reputation. Her salons are places for beauty, but also for confidence, knowledge and empowerment – a reflection of the woman behind the name.
