    Here in the Middle East, there is a large influx of Asian workers who are poorly paid and not overly well treated.

    The perform jobs such as hairdressing, plumbers, carpenter, waiters, shop assistants etc.

    The point being, you will be competing with the likes of these workers, so the pay not be as good as you think.

    Research it carefully.

    There is a large number of Thai workers servicing this industry. From what I gather there is a large demand for western hair dressers.

    You are required to have a working visa to be here in Dubai. For example
    http://www.tedmorganhair.com/

    Has a lot of Irish Hair dressers there. Also the large hair dressers for women mostly have English or Irish hair dressers.
