Due to an injury I can only reach the back of my head with one arm and can't blow-dry my hair properly. Plus I have a double crown so need some length at the back to keep my hair from spreadeagling in all directions. I explained all of this to the stylist and told her what I wanted. But I ended up with layers at the back that need styling I can't do. I also felt a bit pressurised to buy home treatment products, despite having already said that I was using Redken products that seemed to be helping. Overall a disappointment.

I absolutely enjoyed every second of my visit to the Salon. My Stylist is Laura. Laura listened to everything I said and asked for during my consultation and then proceeded to cut my hair in exactly the way I wished. I've never been so pleased with a haircut. Im looking forward to my next visit already.

Siobhan is a fantastic stylist and coloruist. She had a challenge on her hands with my hair as I’d had it previously coloured at a different salon and the result was too warm for my skin tone and grey hair. Siobhan was able to blend cooler highlights and lowlights to bring the colour back to one that complements my natural colouring. She then gave me a lovely cut which complements my face structure. I’m very happy with the results.

Thank you Anita - Your expert service, advice, knowledge, understanding and friendly manner made for a thoroughly enjoyable experience today in Patrick Gildea's Hair Salon.
I went in looking like I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards and came out all expertly coiffed and calm! Delighted with my hair cut and you've used the right combination of products that my hair likes.
Thanks also to Cobhlaith who was tasked with detangling my hair prior to Anita doing a dry cut. No easy task, but you did a great job. I enjoyed our chat during the detangling😊. Well done!

I’ve been coming to Patrick Gildea for years and I’m happy with the results every single time.
The atmosphere is great and the staff are friendly and welcoming.
I had a last minute decision to restyle my hair with a short haircut. The consultation with Zeljana was super fun, she carefully styled my hair and advised me on the colouring. I appreciate the extra thought she gave in the ‘after care’. Cutting the hair such that it can be styled in different ways and even showed me how to do my hair. It has been weeks since my haircut, I have been having fun styling my hair every day since. Thank you Zeljana, I really appreciate your work.
