Such an incredible experience. My hair is very curly and I always found it hard to manage. Now it is so easy to manage and I feel so confident and comfortable wearing it naturally. The best salon, the best team, just an amazing experience all round. The staff are all so kind and friendly.

Thank you so much for the wonderful care and guidance you gave Mum when helping her choose her hairpiece during chemotherapy. You made what could have been a very difficult and overwhelming experience feel so much easier and smoother. Mum had a fantastic experience and really appreciated all the information, patience and support you gave her. She’s truly grateful for your kindness and guidance throughout. ❤️

First time client. Comfortable surroundings while waiting. Given a guided mini tour of the salon which was very impressive. All members of staff consistently pleasant and polite. Coffee was great. While in the chair, Patrick regularly informed me why he was doing certain things and educated me on which type of product would be best suited to me. Premium experience and result. Highly recommend.

Appointment verified by Phorest

I’ve been going to Siobhan for a while now and one of the things I really value is her honesty. I’m not always very forthcoming about what I want done with my hair, and most of the time I’m happy enough just throwing it into a ponytail!

You don’t always see yourself the way a stylist does, so I really appreciate Siobhan taking the time to ask questions, talk things through and give me her honest opinion about what would suit me. I’d much rather have honesty than someone just telling me what I want to hear, and I trust her completely.

She’s so attentive and caring, and I always leave feeling like a new woman, honestly about 10 years younger!

The whole team in Patrick Gildea’s are lovely and make you feel so welcome and well looked after. And then there’s the shortbread biscuits, which are absolutely delicious and sooo buttery! A lovely experience all round.

I am over the moon with the lovely haircut that I received from Zeljana. She is a true artist, who has the stylistic vision and skill to create a look that perfectly suits her client’s needs and facial features. I first became aware of Zeljana through a “Get to Know the Friendly Faces Behind the Magic” Facebook post by the salon in which her passion to make women look their best comes shining through. Thank you so much, Zeljana, for performing your magic on me!
