Looking for a salon in Dublin city centre that specialises in advice and treatments for very frizzy and coarse hair.

I know a lot of salons do 12 week blow dries and similar treatments but I would prefer to get some professional advice before forking out a fortune and ruining my locks.]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2057453348/hair-colourist-galway Sat, 27 Jun 2015 16:22:29 +0000 Beauty LittleBittaLav 2057453348@/discussions https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2057447081/looking-for-shellac-and-sugar-paste-wax Mon, 15 Jun 2015 19:44:36 +0000 Beauty Tibasaur 2057447081@/discussions https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2057288430/best-affordable-salon-in-dublin-city-center-surrounding-area Thu, 11 Sep 2014 19:22:41 +0000 Beauty _Chaos 2057288430@/discussions Bonus points for student discounts or "X numbers or treatments for €X"!:D]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2055941855/becoming-a-hairdresser-in-carlow Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:31:26 +0000 Carlow jojo86 2055941855@/discussions Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I have just finished college and have decided that while it was good to get my degree, I'd much rather look into hairdressing as a career.
Does anyone know what salons in Carlow take on apprentices? I applied to Peter Marks but their waiting list seems quite long. Would any one also know of other ways train in carlow? I'm in a tricky situation in that I really can't afford to do unpaid training or training that would rule out energy for a job also.
A FAS type course would be great or an apprenticeship, I really do want to follow this career path but to be honest I feel I'm starting to get on a bit so don't really want to have to wait too long for something to come up especially as I know how long training can take...
Anyway if any one has any info it'd be great- thanks a million!

And please don't suggest that a cheap salon will be crap because from experience expensive ain't so fantastic either.

I am wondering if anyone knows a hairdressers in Cork City that would be able to styles something like this??

Something a bit funky...alternative..maybe??

Thanks everyone..and Happy Christmas!! =D]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2056339093/alternative-to-house-of-colour Tue, 26 Jul 2011 16:25:22 +0000 Beauty alycat05 2056339093@/discussions
I've been going to House of Colour for many years and have tried a lot of different colours and styles...which I've always been happy with.

The problem is, I'm finding it impossible to pay their prices recently...also I've noticed the personal service has gone seriously downhill over the last year or so.

So my question is, can anyone recommend a salon as good as House of Colour for a cheaper price?

I live in Tallaght and all the "local" type salons in my area don't seem to have anywhere near the colour expertise of the more expensive salons. My sisters go to some of these salons and their colours are always uneven and look like box colours! i know obviously they're not ALL bad but the ones i know of are all terrible.

So if if you can recommend somewhere with highly trained staff and reasonable prices I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks a mill ]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2056285834/looking-for-a-good-salon-for-hair-colouring Wed, 01 Jun 2011 13:16:19 +0000 Beauty Kevface91 2056285834@/discussions ]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2056306892/mihaela-in-brazilia-on-south-william-street Wed, 22 Jun 2011 13:55:23 +0000 Beauty alycat05 2056306892@/discussions
I've been going to Mihaela in Brazilia on South William Street for a couple of years for waxing. she is absolutely BRILLIANT!

When I rang up yesterday to make an appointment they told me she no longer works there. Does anyone know where she may be working now or have contact details for her?

Long shot i know...

I am a full time beauty therapy/Reflexology student about to sit finals over the next 2 months in Galway. Im wondering can anyone tell me what the industry is like at the moment for those trying to get their foot in the door of a salon. Im studying ITEC/CIBTAC and CIDESCO. Im a mature student with an honours degree in Science as well and I have plenty of past sales experience too.

What are my chances and where do I begin?
Do I just call into salons with my CV in the hope that they are hiring?

Anyone from the industry have any tips and advice for me?
I am so eager to get out there and get started so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Obviously I need to WOW them because this is such a great opportunity and its where I want my career to progress and I need to outshine the others somehow!

So I need some tips on how to do this......
Plus Im confused as what to wear ..... Its a management position so Im unsure whether to wear the traditional suit or should I go a bit more fashionable/modern without going overboard??
And since it is a hairdresser.... hair up or down???

Hope some of you can help me.... I would really appreciate the help!

I'm getting married in Feb of next year in the Dublin registry office and I'd like to go to a salon to get both hair and makeup done for me, the bridesmaid and my mum.

So far the only salon that does both that I've found is Brown Sugar but I'd like to shop around a little more first.

Does anyone know of a place in the Dublin city centre that does both hair and makeup?

Thanks in advance.]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2056115836/hairdressers-citywest-saggart-rathcoole-area Fri, 10 Dec 2010 11:49:45 +0000 Dublin County West sakani 2056115836@/discussions

I am wondering has anyone heard of Avenue Boutique on Eyre Street Galway having closed down for good??

I bought a voucher there at Christmas time - went to phone about a few weeks ago to make an appointment - their phone dial tone sounded like I had the wrong number. Double checked the voucher details to make sure I had the correct number and I had. Have tried several times since but same thing happens.

Physically went to call into the place to make an appointment and was met
with a A4 sheet sign on their door saying they were closed but if I wanted to buy vouchers from them I could contact the number at the bottom of the sheet.. guess what - same number - but no luck getting anyone !!
That would lead me to believe they are around somewhere but not contactable.

I managed to find a facebook page via google search looking to see if there were other contact details for them and found an email address for them. Emailed and no reply either. Facebook page also looks like they've stopped using it for updates too.


I had heard rumours that the place had had a leak shortly after christmas time and were in the process of getting it fixed but even that being the case, surely they should let people know what's going on.

I know the voucher I have is worth 150 euros and its of no use to me if I can't get in touch with this crowd.

The recession has put many businesses out of business but there is a right way and a wrong way of letting people know especially when its your own money involved and you have no way of getting it back.

Has anyone heard about them and know who they can put me in touch with please.

I'll go first:

Got my hair cut in house of colour on capel street last week, done by the students.
€10 for the cut and the wash and blow dry was free.

Sometimes you've to call ahead and see if their classes are doing what you want that day, but they do a great job, just as good as a fully trained stylist I find.]]>
