    Let me first start by saying that I have been a faithful MAC user for almost 30 years. I was in…read moreIreland on vacation and needed to replenish my stock. NICOLA is the one that was at the front desk. I waited for almost 10 minutes without being greeted. She told me they were short staffed and asked if I wouldn't mind "calling back." (Coming back later.) I told her I was on vacation and on a tight schedule and I needed to just grab a couple things and she turned around and just left. After ANOTHER 10 minutes, she returned and asked what I needed. I needed a purple eyeliner and she pulls one out and after I said, "that is gorgeous, I will take it!" She replies, "oh, we are all out of this." Confused, and wondering why she would show it to me in the first place if it wasn't for sale, I said, "Ok, I will buy the sample off of you." She replied she wasn't allowed to sell the sample, because it wasn't counted in as inventory. I went for another product, also of which they were out of. She was so terrible and tried to rush me out of there so quickly, I literally left in tears. If you are looking for a place to get pampered or simply replenish your stock, this is not it. I would highly suggest going to Dior in the same mall (Brown Thomas,) or ANY other makeup counter. Anything would have been more accommodating than this. If I ever return to Dublin, I will NEVER return to this MAC store. Nicola was just awful.

    I love MAC as a brand and their concealer (Select Cover-Up NW35) is the holy grail for my dark…read morecircles which I've been using for a good few years now. I also like the MAC lipsticks, not as much as the Bobbie Brown ones but they I find that they have a better selection of colours and more youthful shades. I've tried the blushes and eye shadows before but didn't find much difference between them and the cheaper drug store brands. I've also used the Studio Select foundation which was pretty good but a bit too heavy. Overall though, the only thing I buy from MAC is the concealer and lipsticks. With regards to this branch, it's always so packed and it always takes ages to get someone to help you. I didn't find the staff very helpful anyway, so I usually just choose things on my own without asking. There is just so many types of foundations and concealers that sometimes it can be so confusing, so it would be great if the staff were a little bit more helpful. However, there has been numerous times where my shade or the colour I wanted was sold out. I'd say it's best to avoid the busy weekends, especially Saturday afternoons where it's jam packed! But this is probably the only counter where it's safe to browse without being attacked my sales assistants! My two star reduction is for 1. Staff not very helpful and kind of slow, 2. Out of stock too often.

While I realize Ireland is in general behind when it comes to hairdressing trends; education and overall lacking in the customer service department Dylan Bradshaw HairSalon is not a top tier salon despite their prices and high profile media advertisements. I could name offhand at least 5 salons throughout Dublin that have cheaper prices, have actual educated staff members who listen to your hair questions and concerns while overall actually seeming overall genuinely interested in your actual hair questions. They do say that really staff members learn their behaviors from their management team so unfortunately I can only infer that the Dylan Bradshaw hair educators are lacking in overall education. Save your money and go to a salon in the city that actually have educated staff members whom listen and genuinely care about questions!!. I have never once encountered a pleasant friendly professional receptionist at their front desk to greet you when you visit arrive to book in for your treatment. While I realize Ireland is low on the scale when it comes tom developing their customer service skills, I have never met more rude or uninterested staff then I have in Dylan Bradshaw. It's very frustrating when u have experienced educated and trustworthy hairdressers over the years but then encounter poor trainer hairdressers who have no interest in their clients actual requests.

    I knew I was going to pay a lot more at this salon and was hoping it would prove worth it. I was…read moretalked out of what I wanted and left feeling ripped off and stupid for wasting so much money. The stylist was 'nice', the colour was barely noticeable and the cut very average. Three hours + and the parking meter steaming. The best part was the 2 Lindt chocolates that accompanied my coffee, lesson learned!

    Are we in America or Ireland?!…read more On first entering LA College of Creative Arts I was pretty impressed at how well finished and sleek the entire building looked, gleaming stairs, rooms filled with state of the art iMacs and glass walls everywhere really made me feel like I was in Los Angeles and not just off Grafton Street in Dublin! I did not actually attend the college to do a course or to sit a class, I was there to paint a mural in their reception area so was able to view the place with slightly different eyes. Everyone I encountered met me with a friendly hello and a smile, all the students seemed to be enjoying themselves hugely despite the blistering 28 degree sunshine outside! As I painted the mural there were a few special effects makeup filled faced poking out of doorways to see what was going on. I was very impressed with the work from the students and was briefly filled in by the Head of Education, Marie-Therese, about the broad range of courses on offer at the college. It was a pleasure to work with the guys from LA College of Creative Arts and I am already looking for a reason to go back and say hi!
