Where can I find barber shops for الحلق or التقصير during الحج?

On the 10th of ذو الحجة and the following days, barber shops and temporary barber stations are set up extensively throughout منى, particularly near the الجمرات bridge area and along the main pathways between tent camps. The Saudi authorities license barbers for the الحج season and ensure hygiene standards with disposable blades.

Expect significant queues on the 10th, especially during midday hours. To avoid long waits, consider going very early in the morning or later in the evening. Many الحج groups arrange for barbers to visit their camps directly. The cost is typically modest (20-50 SAR). Women do not go to barbers — they simply cut a fingertip-length from the ends of their hair privately. Some الحجاج bring their own clippers or scissors as a backup option.
