I am delighted with my new hair color! Siobhan is one of my favourite stylists. I'm not an easy client and always challenge my hairstylist with new hair ideas because I get bored quickly. Siobhan has exceeded my expectations today and gave me the color I have always dreamed of. Thank you so much! Looking forward to my next visit.

The day my baby got a purple mullet!

Today my 9 Yr old got a purple mullet and to say we are happy is an understatement. It looks absolutely incredible. So daring, so different, so bold and beautiful just like Rosy.

I love Patrick Gildaes because the willingness to dare to be different is there with every stylist and (maybe more importantly) the talent, vision and creativity is there to be able to carry off these cuts. There is no other salon in the county that I would trust with my babies beautiful hair.

Claudia, we will be requesting you when we return. You did AN AWESOME JOB! Claudia is so talented, kind, attentive and fun! Thank you for helping Rosy to be her authentic self x

Lots of love, Rosy Pearl & her Mammy xx

Clodagh done my hair correction today.
It was very brassy from old blonde coming through.
She done a fantastic job with the help of Siobhan, I will 100% be a frequent client at Patrick Gildeas after today’s service. For someone who has only been in training for 4/5 weeks Clodagh is a natural and I am very impressed.

It’s genuinely a guaranteed blissful experience every time I have an appointment with Vicky. Her expertise is unlimited and I make sure my appointment’s are pre-booked (currently up to January 2023)? I would also like to say that you should request Amy for your hair wash. If Zen has a human form then it’s Amy. She will melt your stress levels to zero ????

Over the years i have been to numerous hair salons & always had to rush home to fix my hair before I went anywhere... this is no longer the case! Siobhan did a fantastic job, I left looking & feeling great! I am so happy! Siobhan is fabulous! I will definitely be recommending her to everyone! Thank you so much!

After being made very welcome to the Salon which has a wonderful atmosphere, Kiera discussed with me what I wanted done eg; style, cut, products to use etc.
I had my hair washed which was the most relaxing experience and then Kiera cut my hair with great expertise.
Each step of the whole proceedure was very professional and friendly. I loved the final result. A great experience and I really look forward to my next appointment.

I'm sorry to have say that my hair it too dark and too red. Not what I expected. **** talked me.through the mid lengths and end colour as I wanted something warmer. It turned oubery red and very dark at the root. She and another hairdresser darkened the red but I'm disappointed with the outcome. 4 hours and 139 euro later, I feel to be disappointed is not a good outcome. I would be interested on you views on this.many thanks Lisa

Words to express how amazing my experience meeting Kiera was:
Refreshing - to be able to talk "all things curly" with someone who totally understands curly hair.
Fun
Relaxing
Safe - Kiera, you are such a professional, you know what you are doing and made me feel totally at ease.
My hair felt safe in your hands ?.
Cared for - you made me feel special, as if I was your only client for the day.
Attention to detail - second to none.
I've been singing your praises since and will continue to do so ?.
Full marks to you Kiera.
Thank you so much and I'll see you next time!
