Our Story

This Isn't Just a Barbershop

Founded 2022

As a collective, it has been brought to our attention that the art of barbering has been lost throughout the city as well as its passion. Back Alive is here to bring it back.

We want to show you that it is not simply just about getting a cut, it is about being part of a movement and a community. We focus highly on our services but also the vibes that we provide.

As you step through our doors you will be greeted by the sounds of hip hop and welcomed into our family. We respect you and your hustle, and we want you to receive the confidence you deserve.

Meet the Founder
Anas Uddin
Anas Uddin
Founder, Back Alive Barbershop

Anas Uddin is the founder of Back Alive Barbershop, a premium grooming brand born in Dubai. Starting his career in barbering at age 12 in Montreal, Anas relocated to Dubai at 19 with nothing but his craft and a vision.

It was there he met his business partner, and together they decided to build something bigger. By 21, Anas had opened his first location, which quickly became an award-winning destination.

Today, Back Alive operates multiple locations and is expanding through franchising across the GCC and beyond.

"

We didn't build Back Alive to stay small. We built it to become the home of barbers across the region, and then the world.

The Market

Why the Grooming Industry?

This isn't a trend. It's a sector built on fundamentals that work in any economy.

Recession Resistant

People always need haircuts. Grooming is one of the last services consumers cut from their budget, even in a downturn, demand stays strong.

Growing MENA Market

The GCC men's grooming market is expanding rapidly, driven by a young population, high disposable income, and rising demand for premium experiences.

Repeat Revenue Model

Clients return every 2 to 4 weeks. No seasonal dependency, no one time purchases. Just consistent, recurring revenue month after month.
