"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 haircut I got there is actually the worst haircut that I have ever gotten. First I showed her a…read morepicture of what I wanted which was simple angled bob which I got before and she told me that she can't do the exact hairstyle even though that's her job. The girl who washed my hair was extremely rough especially while brushing my hair. It was so sore that I even teared up. I asked for a few layers and for them to not to be short. The woman gave me loads of layers that were short which now look very choppy. She also didn't take into consideration that my hair falls forward even thou I told her so now the short layers fall forward and the longer parts of my hair are behind them which just looks ridiculous. Honestly it doesn't even get a 1 star from me, do not get your haircut here if you don't want to get your hair ruined. So disappointed.
