A wonderful relaxing experience in a warm and friendly salon. I was greeted by a friendly and welcoming member of the team, invited on a tour of the salon where everything was explained to me. Irene was an exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable stylist instilling confidence and giving my hair the pampering it required and I left the salon feeling amazing. Peter washed my hair explaining the process and kindly serving beautiful coffee. All in all an amazing experience for the Patrick Gildea Team today.

Had a wonderful visit to the salon today. Thanks to Siobhan who gave me the exact colour I wanted even though I couldn’t explain it? I even had a great snooze while on the fantastic reclining chairs at the wash station. A wonderful coffee woke me up again & left feeling totally refreshed with a fab new look. Thanks again, perfect day as usual at PG’s.

I brought my 9 year old to Josey today to cut her long hair up into a jaw length bob. My little one was so eager for a big impact haircut but I was nervous as her hair is very thick. But my goodness I needn’t have been. The skill and professionalism at this salon is beyond anything I’ve ever seen! I am so incredibly impressed and my daughter has been twirling and smiling ever since. It is exactly how she had envisioned it. I noticed in the salon the tagline “we listen” and anyone reading this can rest assured that isn’t an exaggeration, they really do listen , and have the skills to make your dream hairstyle a reality! Thanks so much Josey!!

I love my hair. It's exactly what I wanted even though I never really know what I want ! I am back next week for colour & can't wait

My daughter Rosie always gets her hair done at Patrick Gildae's. Rosie knows what she wants and she is very specific ? Today she got it shaves at the sides, medium length on top styled in a quiff (a 'Ruby Rose' style cut) and also had a pink toner put in.

To be honest, the stylists at Patrick Gildae's always do an amazing job. I always get my own hair done here too. I am as picky with my hair as my daughter an we are both absolutely delighted today..... and here's the thing - the standard across all stylists is always so high.
