Pondering the price

Love my hair. Just had full head of highlights today . My hair is shoulder length. But I’m flummoxed as the price was €238 - is this correct? No cut today just colour and Toner. I think Zeljana is brilliant so this is no reflection on her hard work. Thanks !

I have never had a stylist pay so much attention to my hair and understand it as much as Zeljana did last week. She made space for my curls to come to life. My hair feels light but full. I have had several people ask me did I do something with my hair that it looked great. I feel like looking after my hair now. Thank you xxx

I have never been to a salon more accommodating in my life. I loved my experience and all the staff were amazing and so professional. I was walked though every step of the way before my hair was even started and also during. I was extremely impressed with how much knowledge they had with curly hair as that is something I always struggle to find at a salon. The cut and color is exceptional and I am so happy with it. My curls have never looked better leaving a salon, to say I’m impressed is an understatement. I definitely will be back again and couldn’t imagine ever going to another salon now.

I have been coming to Patrick Gildea's for several years, and the service is consistently excellent every single time. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted with a warm welcome and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

The team are always professional, attentive, and genuinely focused on making sure you are comfortable and happy with your experience.

Vicky is incredibly skilled and has such a calm and relaxed approach that it instantly takes the stress out of your day. It’s like hitting pause for a little while, you can just sit back, unwind, and know you are in good hands.

I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. It’s rare to find a place that delivers top notch service so consistently. It’s clear they really care about both the quality of their work and your experience as a client. Highly recommend!

An amazing experience in a beautiful private room, with a brilliant hairdresser who intuitively knows how much guidance to provide and just the right amount of empathy at a difficult time.
My wig turned out better than I ever imagined. Nothing was too much and you would think Patrick had all the time in the world.
He got it just right with no unnecessary extras or expense. I'd recommend Patrick Gildea's Donegal Wig Centre to anyone.

Fantastic first experience of Patrick Gildea hairdressing. It was highly recommended by a work colleague of mine and it did not fail to impress. First class service, Sharon was highly personable and made me feel comfortable, discussed everything through with me about what she was doing with my hair. I would go so far to say as my best haircut since I’ve had long hair. Thank you Sharon.
