Emirates Cabin Crew Requirements | Scars & Tattoos + How to Hide Them

[@Andi131Cee]

I was speechless when they gave us the grooming guidelines book. By memory roughly 60-80 pages and covers almost everything you can imagine and much more. Mens guidelines aren't too difficult, the trickiest part is really the hairstyle you choose. For female crew it's unbelievable. I think it was a maximum of six pins in your hair? And yes I have seen them be counted.

[@ehyitsme.1522]

Omg. And for what? passengers just want to be treated respectfully and with love, they literally don't give a fuck if you have 7 pins or a scar. I t's so stupid i really don't get it.... I think it's more important to be CLEAN, they should see if they brush their teeth and have a shower everyday...not if they have a tatto on their calves.

[@gianlucadibella9524]

Hi! what do you mean for hairstyle you choose? how many type of different hairstyle can a man have?

[@manellb7917]

You literally addressed scars for couple of seconds even though they are completely different from tattoos, in my opinion at least .and it would've been great if you gave your opinion based on your experience for example tell us about a colleague that had a scar but was still completely fine (or not) I'm just saying that as a feedback I obviously appreciate the video but all these information are actually very easily accessible on the Emirates webside .it is a crew point of view based one his/her experience that is very valuable.

[@MotherMonster34]

I saw an EK flight attendant with a huge chickenpox scar between her eyebrows and even though she had her work makeup, it was really visible. someone's saying they don't accept even a cat scratch, and then I see a girl with a huge scar on her face. I'm confused af.

[@banibatbout]

Imagine someone who is full of tatoos in safe areas and get in the pool with the rest of the crew. 🤣

[@omar13937]

Just went to an assessment day today in Auckland New Zealand. I have a tattoo on my ankle and before we started even the recruiter said if you have tattoos please come and see me which I did. I showed her the tattoo and said sorry can't progress you further. And many other had the same issue too even tho the tattoo won't be visible in uniform

I have a scar along my jaw from an accident, any company that cares about that isn’t worth working for in my opinion. I’ve worked for Disney, Carnival cruises entertainment and many upmarket bars that never cared about my scar. Unless you are an impersonator or actor it shouldn’t be an issue.

[@Adajio-_-]

Yeah right. They are not hiring model or something.

[@shanzay116]

Last December in 2023 i attended assessment day with emirates in dubai. Out of 60 6 people made it to the final interview. One of the girl among 6 of us had a big scar on her full jawline. She declared it and recruiter didn’t even ask her to mention it because scar was of skin color. My recruiter mentioned this in the very beginning that it’s okay we all get scars. If scar is of skin color, its fine but tattoos are not allowed in visible areas.

[@Moonlight-mz7mu]

@@shanzay116this is so informative, i was wondering this, i have a scar next to my left knee, but its very faded and looks like my skin tone, you wouldnt notice it unless you come closer, its small and not visible with stockings of my skin tone. Do you think this would hinder my acceptance?

I agree with these restrictions on tattoos. I once saw a Emirates stewardess with a scar on her face but she was completely professional and did her job well. I respect that.

What criteria they have for black female cabin crew? I know that it’s a multicultural company but I did some research and it seems like black female cabin crew are not really equal in number compared to white/Arab/Asian cabin crew. I really want to know what they are looking for in a black femal aspiring cabin crew? I hope I explained the questions, thanks again for the great content

You barely talked about scars my man... Would be helpful if you talked a little more about them. Maybe some instances of personal encounters with crew that have had scars but still got selected...

Hi :) At first a would like to thank you for a very informative video. And I have a question..I have a scar/a little kind of ‘hole’ on top of my left ear..is that a big problem and can I be sent home from a CC interview just because of it? (If Emirates will hire again one day?) I am currently a flight attendant with another company and it was not an issue while they were hiring me but I can imagine that it might be a problem for an Emirates Cabin crew. What do you think about it? Thank you for the answer.

@WishCasting I am interested, since you already said that tattoos are not allowed on the forearm and you gave a graphic example, my question is whether it is visual if the tattoo is pale and not so visible under the uniform and is in the process of being removed, whether to report it or not.

As long as you can conceal the scar under your Emirates clothes, you're fine! They won't undress you! Check the areas that will be uncovered while in uniform. Those are the areas where you must not have anything at all
