Megan was an absolute star. With on going medical issues and being immune compromised, she was able to organise my appointment in a quite part of the salon. Guide me through the best pick me up with my hair style, as my hair has thinned out dramatically over the last year, lost a bit of its shin and the best way to cut my hair that complimented my face. I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about my hair before my appointment. Megan did a brilliant job that lifted my spirits and a gave me a moment to feel a little me again. Thank you! Highly recommend the salon and Megan’s brilliant work!

I had the bottom half of my hair dyed green. This part of my hair was severely hard to dye as none of the colours I tried would ever take to it but at Patrick Gildea’s they work miracles. My hairdresser Laura was so brilliant and the colour turned out perfect. I also got my hair layered and it looks so so beautiful. 10/10 experience, so much hospitality and care with each person, I was offered tea or coffee during the waiting times for the colour to take. I love going here and I will continue to return to the establishment. Brilliant work all around.

The salon looks amazing and I love the calm friendly and professional manner in which they work. Patrick's vision and attention to detail is mesmerising. Equally, to his credit, his staff are as impressive as the man himself. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience from beginning to end. A centre of excellence indeed!

I have been dealing with hair loss for a few years. Have been diagnosed with alopecia areata. Booked an appointment with Patrick directly and was seen quite quickly. I tried on all different types of wigs, but decided to go for a hair topper. Patrick was so helpful and really took his time going through all my options. It wasn't a rushed appointment and i was thankful for that. I was surprised with how quick my hair topper arrived and was contacted to come in for another appointment. I just fell in love with my new hair topper and Patrick cut it to my desired length and style. Will definitely be back next year for a new hair piece. If your nervous and thinking of getting a wig or hair topper Patrick Gildea's is the place to go. You won't be disappointed.

Also would like to mention Dean, who did my highlights, super friendly and absolutely delighted with the results.

I was abit nervous going in initially, but as soon as I walked in, all the staff were so welcoming and I felt right at ease. 10/10 recommend :)
