Mounir is the Lebanese hair designer and educator from Beirut whom the industry knows as the Godfather of Hair Design. Twenty-five years of artistry back that title. His salons welcome clients in five countries, Lebanon and the UAE among them, and his bob haircuts finished in under a minute have won admirers worldwide. Unique colour techniques and remarkable transformations are his trademark, and celebrities number among his clients.
Group Mounir introduced its professional hair products in late 2018, and MOUNIR EDUCATION followed in early 2020 as an online platform offered in multiple languages. His 2019 Paris masterclass welcomed 1,500 hair professionals from at least 70 countries, and his masterclasses from Sydney to Istanbul have trained upwards of 15,000 hair designers in total. In 2022 he ran his first eight-hour masterclasses in Dubai, and day one sold out very fast. He has also attended Paris Fashion Week and applauded the Gabriela Hearst collection.
Mounir Brings His Masterclass to beautyLIVE
A global force in professional hair is heading to beautyLIVE, and the date is 7 October 2026. Mounir takes the beautyLIVE stage at Beautyworld Dubai for an exclusive masterclass. The Al Multaqua Ballroom hosts beautyLIVE on all three days of the fair, giving hair fans a dedicated home for professional education and live demonstrations.
Hair and salon professionals get the chance to watch his artistry and techniques up close, which is a gift for anyone who has admired his work from afar. Think of it as a front row seat to the craft itself. Look for a buzz around this session, because Mounir's name draws hair professionals from every corner of the industry. Whether you run a salon or work behind a chair, this masterclass is an invitation to leave inspired.
Live Transformations You Can Use Back at Your Own Chair
Picture a hair transformation happening live on stage right in front of you. That is the promise of a Mounir masterclass. Expect expert colour techniques demonstrated by the master himself, and expect practical inspiration you can take back to your own work. The transformation draws the gasps, but the techniques behind it are what you can put to use in your salon the very next day.
Every hair professional knows a client who dreams of a striking colour change, and this masterclass hands you the techniques to make it happen. Even a single formula or technique can change the colour menu at your salon. Colour fans will head home holding a fresh list of things to try. Colour work rewards anyone who watches closely, so pick a great spot and get comfortable. Bring a journal, and keep your phone charged for the photos you will want.
Mounir Teaches Online Too
The lessons continue after the stage lights dim, thanks to MOUNIR EDUCATION. It is an online series available on the official page and in the Mounir application, teaching everything from colour techniques to hair extension application. Pre-recorded episodes include hefty transformations, and recorded live masterclasses let you replay a full session on any day you choose. Watch a full transformation from the first brush stroke to the final glow. Colour formulas and business strategies are on the syllabus too, which suits salon owners ready to grow.
The curriculum includes choosing the right colour and cut for a client and bleaching to a suitable level while protecting the hair. Extra modules teach keeping colour radiant after every wash. The platform is offered in multiple languages, so hair professionals worldwide can learn in a language familiar to them. Guidance on opening and expanding your own salon is part of the package. Prefer to learn at home? You can study on your own schedule.
