A Cut Above the Rest! 🙌 Did you know that if you book with the New Generation Stylists at patrick.gildea.hair Letterkenny you pay up to 30% less?

Megan and Bronagh are both recently qualified and incredibly talented stylists. If you’re considering getting a personalised colour and a unique look in the New Year, I’d recommend booking with these young stars.

A Patrick Gildea Hairdressing voucher is a top gift idea this Christmas, while the home haircare sets are also excellent value.

The System Professional and Sebastian Gift Sets range from €15 to €46 with a 22% saving.

Or, for an extra special gift, there’s the stunning limited edition GHD Champagne Gold straightener exclusive for Christmas 2022.

You can buy all sets and vouchers in the salon or online: www.patrickgildea.ie

October Tones and Infinite Shine 🍁✨

This amazing autumn transformation by patrick.gildea.hair is Wella’s Shinefinity zero colour glaze.

Shinefinity gives you the benefits of a new tone and super shine without the damage. I love this ‘Raspberry Latte’ shade for autumn, which will last for six weeks before gradually fading back to my original colour.

Thank you Siobhan and all the team for giving my hair all the TLC it needs for the weekend. The treatment included deep cleansing and restoring shampoo and conditioner, along with the incredible Lipid Booster spray for an even deeper reconstruction of my damaged ends. The sleek and shiny look was completed by some Taming Elixir from the new Sebastian product range at the Patrick Gildea Hairdressing salon.

I’ve gotten to love Shinefinity because it is so quick but so nourishing. The colour possibilities are great too, whether you want a rich shade, a neutralising tone, or a subtle colour switch. With low commitment, what colour would you try?

Patrick Gildea Hairdressing offers complimentary colour consultations so you can speak with one of the Master Colour Experts to see what Shinefinity options will work for you. To book, call 074-9125476 or Book Online by clicking here at https://www.patrickgildea.ie/book-online/

Our Donegal Rose has arrived in Tralee! 🌹 Bes

Our Donegal Rose has arrived in Tralee! 🌹

Best of luck to Katie McAteer who is flying the flag for Donegal in the Kingdom.

Katie, aged 24, has a fierce pride for her home village of Rathmullan.

She studied Journalism and New Media in University of Limerick, which allowed her to live in Barcelona and Glasgow. She currently works in Public Relations and Social Media with The Right Angle agency.

Fitness and good mind health are important to Katie, she says. She is the Senior Ladies Captain at Milford GAA where she also helps out with the kids' teams.

Having lost her father Frank at a young age, Katie counts herself fortunate to be raised in a close-knit family and a supportive community.

She said: “I was raised by and am surrounded by strong women, and it is an honour to be surrounded by so many independent, strong, motivated women on this Rose of Tralee journey.”

Katie has already used her new ‘Rose’ title to benefit her community. Earlier this month she held a send-off fundraiser in the Beachcomber Bar to raise over €3,000 for the RNLI and SVP.
