As a quick disclaimer, ‘Bouji’ or ‘Boujee’ derives from the word “bourgeoisie”, used to describe someone rich or in the upper class’. In this instance our Bouji round up of Muscat’s most indulgent, independently-owned salons are just that. Not necessarily for the upper class, but for those who feel like something fancy.
Let’s get beautified the bouji way…
- AHOOD BEAUTY LOUNGE
For a contemporary and minimalistic approach to design, Ahood Beauty Lounge makes it into our Bouji list for it’s futuristic service list and aesthetically instagram-able decor. With mink Russian eyelashes, the perfect blunt chop or perhaps one of the best makeup artists in town at the helm of this powerhouse, it’s no wonder Ahood Beauty Lounge asks you to book in advance.

As one of Muscat’s leading salons, Alia Awadh Beauty was founded by Alia Awadh herself (as the name might suggest). With streams of ‘Inspo’ filling the instagram feed, you can find the likes of Kim K, Kendall Jenner and vintage Chanel models giving us all the feels for our next beauty fix. For any makeup look, day, night or wedding, Alia’s team of beauty queens are never going to disappoint. We recommend giving Smah a shout – she’s a MUA angel and a master of her trade.
