Abdul began his professional career in 1994 at Toni & Guy where he trained and worked for seven years: cutting hair and eventually managing the styling team. He then moved on to the role of "lead stylist" at Elizabeth Arden in Dallas for four years, further solidifying his solid hairstyling foundation. For the next ten years, Abdul took up stints at various North Dallas salons until he found himself as a manager and stylist at 18|8 Men's Salon.
Unsatisfied with the quality of customer service and amenities offered by his previous places of employment, Abdul decided to branch off and open a salon of his own. Thus Dallas Gents Fine Men's Salon was born. Mr. Ostowar has a genuine passion for his work and believes that salons should put more emphasis on customer service: so much so that Abdul left corporate America to make his dream a reality. Therefore, Dallas Gents focuses on providing elite customer service paired with exceptional hair services - something rarely seen anywhere else.
