flydubai — Appearance & Grooming
flydubai applies Emirates Group-style image discipline to a single-aisle operation, but does not publish its grooming manual. The detail is issued and taught during initial training in Dubai rather than advertised beforehand.
Grooming · flydubai
- Hair
- Expect the standard Gulf carrier requirement: hair worn up and secured, off the collar and off the face, in a natural colour, so it stays presentable across four or five sectors. The airline does not publish the permitted styles; they are specified in the image module.
- Make-up
- flydubai does not publish a makeup specification. In practice female crew wear a complete, uniform-coordinated face for every duty and the airline issues the standard during training, which is where you will learn the approved shades.
- Facial hair
- No public facial-hair rule is published. The Gulf norm — and the Emirates Group norm in particular — is clean-shaven for male crew, so plan on that and confirm during the assessment day.
- Nails
- Short, clean, well-shaped nails in a neutral or uniform-coordinated polish are the working expectation across the Gulf carriers. flydubai does not publish specific shades or lengths.
- Glasses & contacts
- The airline publishes no eyewear rule. Discreet prescription frames are normal on Gulf single-aisle operations, and a spare pair is sensible regardless; ask at the assessment day for the current position.
- Piercings
- flydubai does not publish a piercings policy, but the regional standard of one pair of plain earrings for female crew and none for male crew is what the uniform standard is built around.
- Jewellery
- Plain and minimal — a watch and a simple ring. The airline does not publish a jewellery list, so treat anything decorative as a risk until the image module tells you otherwise.
- Tattoos in uniform
- Nothing may show while you are in uniform, and cover-ups are not accepted, so the reference point is the short-sleeved shirt rather than what you can hide under a plaster. Forearm, hand, wrist, lower-leg, neck and face designs are the ones that fail; anything the uniform genuinely covers is fine.
- Headscarf
- flydubai does not publish a hijab option for cabin crew. Put the question to recruitment before you apply rather than inferring anything from the uniform scarf.
- Uniform
- The uniform is issued and fitted during initial training in Dubai, and how it is worn — accessories, hosiery, shoes, hair — is set out in the image module rather than online. Because the operation is turnaround-heavy, the standard is built to survive a full duty day rather than one long-haul service.
Grooming rules change more often than any other requirement. Verify them on the airline's official careers page before you buy anything or book a hair appointment.
