I went into the salon in v bad form as my hair was falling out after a family trauma and Patrick himself was so good and kind as always and reassured me it would come back as there were signs of regrowth, he gave me a a great cut as always and himself and one-off the colourist discussed the colour and agreed to put a few v light highlights around my face to soften my colour.
I had a lovely chat with Patrick and his wife also and I left the salon v uplifted on myself and delighted with my hair also

Had the pleasure of Patrick today, I had hair loss because of a recent trauma and he advised me that there was evidence of regrowth which was v reassuring
He cut my hair in such a way to camouflage my bald.patch to give the regrowth a chance to grow
He added a few slight highlights around the face area to lighten my hair.
After a lovely cut a treatment was applied leaving my hair (which was very dry when I arrived) lovely and soft and shinny.
Not only did I have a great hair treatment but Pat and his wife Anita treated me so kindly and caring I kleft the salon feeling much happier than I was on arrival... they are a great couple and have a fantastic team.working for them
Thank you for a wonderful experience ??

I just called in for a patch test before my appointment. While I was waiting, I noticed all the girls had their hair washed and styled. Also their black clothes were clean and free from chemical and bleach stains. This might seem like a fairly basic requirement but it is not always the case! Things like this create a Very good impression. I’m really looking forward to my first appointment!! We’ll done girls

Disappointment

I originally booked with Claudia. Joanne rang me and advised Claudia was on sick leave and that she could change me to Anita for an appointment at the same time which was the time that suited me best. I did not realise until I went to the reception desk to pay that there would be a €20 increase cost in my haircut which resulted in me paying €68 instead of €48. This wasn’t communicated to me by Joanne on the phone in advance. I did raise with Joanne at the desk but I was told I would have to pay the €68.

I was very happy with my haircut and service from Anita but disappointed with the increase of cost due to me being asked to change the appointment. It cast a shadow on my visit to the salon today.

Response from Patrick Gildea Hairdressing

Dear Amy,

We would like to sincerely apologise to you.
This was an oversight on our behalf, our priority was that you were booked in to have an appointment to have your hair done. We should have explained that when moving to another stylist, we do have a different tiered pricing structure. We wish to refund you €20 plus another €10 for any inconvenience caused and we will now add this to your account. We will also follow this up with our Front of House to clarify this with you. Once again thank you very much for your business, we appreciate you as a guest. We sincerely apologise once again for any inconvenience caused.

Have a nice weekend!

My friends would all know me for being a big fan of Tina Turner and often singing her song "Simply The Best". I could gladly sing it to Anita now after having my hair done with her on Friday. I always say that the proof of a good cut lies in the fact that it still looks class when you have to let it dry naturally instead of blow drying, which often happens me when I'm rushing for work in the mornings. I love the way Anita cuts and styles my hair giving it that extra edge which makes it stand out from the crowd. I waited a long time to meet "The Best".
