"Your hair is your crowning glory," is a phrase I've often heard my mother say. She may have…read moreinstilled my fear of hairdressers in me by spending so many years cutting my hair to my exact specification. When I started going to professional hairdressers and they didn't do what I needed, I'd get annoyed. I made my peace and would give as much instruction as I could, but know that I may not come out with a style that I really liked. I was ok with that. Then I decided to get married. Everyone told me to grow my hair, "It gives you better options," they said. This actually stumped me. I spent so long growing my hair, I only wanted it to be down to show the length off! My hair was too long to hold the curl properly and was a style that didn't really suit me. After the wedding, I just decided to continue to grow my hair. I had gone this far, I decided I wanted to donate it. I went to one hairdresser and excitedly told them that I would be donating my hair and just wanted a trim. She cut layers into it. I was devastated, but decided to persevere. So, when I finally got to the length I wanted (on my longest layer), I put out the call on facebook to my friends. Who knew a hairdresser that I could trust? Two of my friends, who's hair I always admired said they went to the same hairdresser. So I took myself along to Hair Therapy in Maynooth and met with Emma. I told her I wanted to donate my hair and showed her some photos of Emma Stone, who's short cut I loved. Well. Emma is a hero. She has the hands of an artist. I've never received so many compliments on my hair. Straight, curly, just out of the shower, wind-blown, whatever, 2 months later, the cut hasn't lost it's shape and it is so easy to style. The salon staff made a huge deal out of me, took photos and were so friendly. They even gave me a rose as it was Valentines weekend. This cut is lasting and lasting but soon as I need to go back, I will not take a second thought at booking into Hair Therapy.

I'm working in Ireland for a few months and needed to find a great hair salon. Did a google search,…read moreread a few reviews and decided to try Hair Therapy. Emma and Joan are so delicious, I could eat them up!! I'm trying to grow my hair out and also decided that since I'm in Ireland, I needed to go red. Emma eased me into the colour with a lovely auburn. Then she gave me this amazing cut that needs very little daily maintenance. I also bought some Sebastian Hydre shampoo and conditioner and I swear, my hair has never been this soft. Joan just trimmed and thinned out any weighty hair on my second visit and gave me this cute pixie detail on one side of my bangs. Love it! Then she told me not to cut it for four months so it will grow out. She also convinced me to go with a more vibrant shade of red. I'm not gonna lie, I was a kinda terrified, but both these ladies understand colour so well, that I was thrilled with the result. Not only are Emma and Joan adept at what they do, they make the whole experience fun. We had some really good conversations and lots of laughs. Oh, and you get tea and cookies!!! I kinda feel like family now and will be sure to keep in contact with them when I go back to the States. Thanks so much ladies.

The staff are friendly without being overbearing, and know what they are talking about. I've yet to emerge from there with a bad haircut or an odd colour. Instead, I get people complimenting my hair constantly. The stylists are willing to listen to what I like as well, and take what I say I want on board. The salon itself is lovely. Massaging chairs while you're getting your hair washed, with a scalp massage thrown in. I've never had problems getting an appointment, and I've always been seen on time. It can be a little pricey, but student discounts are offered, and it's well worth what I spend. I can't recommend the place highly enough.

I heard great things about the place so I was excited when I got a voucher for them so I popped…read moredown asap to get my hair coloured .Because of the voucher I had money off the total and thank god I did even with the voucher the cost was quite steep and if i'm honest I wouldn't have paid the full amount for my results .I tried to explain what I wanted I had photos but the stylist didn't really pay that much attention to what I actually wanted and just got it into his head that it just wasn't going to happen and pawned me off with a dip dye that I had previously achieved better more natural look at home with a box of bleach. I hate to say this but I did feel that I was an annoyance that was taking up a seat because I had a voucher and wouldn't have to pay the full amount. It might just have been that the stylist and I just didn't gel or that my expectations were too high but it really didn't even come close to what I had imagined my hair would turn out like I know hair stylist don't have magical powers but for the price they expect you to pay in Zeba they would want to at least try. I didn't get one of the senior stylist so maybe there the way to go but personally I don't think I would return at least not in the near future. The other staff where very pleasent and the girl who washed my hair was very nice. The scalp massage was a nice treat as was the massage chairs. The salon itself is very clean and modern looking and I had no problem getting an appointment
