The girl that did my hair, Nicola, was so flawless as to take my breath away (I LOVE Ireland!). She was so nice and so attentive. She had someone else run over and it pushed my appointment a little later but she was so gracious and sweet that I didn't even care. I love this salon, it's pretty and perfect and has all the right tools to wrestle my hair into a presentable style, also thanks to Nicola. She's a magician! I didn't really have to do much except show her a photo and my hair was done in no time. She really listened and paid attention and gave me the perfect blowout. She even gave me a small discount for having to wait. So nice! I am very picky about my hair and this salon did everything right, I was completely satisfied and I can't wait to return on my next visit! Thank you, Nicola!

She was so nice and really managed to get my hair back to something more presentable. I also went in earlier this week to get my hair done for a wedding. I was booked in with Matthew for a blowdry but he ended up suggesting setting instead. The end result was pretty much exactly like the picture I'd shown him. He was so sweet and there was none of the awkward hairdresser chats had in many other places I've been. I'm going back next week before another wedding and looking forward to seeing the results. Defo recommend.

Firstly, she got a GREAT haircut. She's fussy with her hair, and was very happy. Second, the staff were friendly and polite, and didn't chat in that tiring, airy meaningless way. The coffee was great too. I winced a bit at the €55 bill but apparently that's what it costs for a woman's cut and style in Dublin (same price as Peter Mark). Only criticism is that it was slightly messy (not unclean, just messy) inside, but it's a smallish place and was manically busy, so probably to be expected. I'm considering going here myself for a man-cut!

After moving from Galway to Dublin I couldn't find a decent hairdresser in the Big Smoke for about…read morefour years. That was until I came across Brown Sugar. At first, I was a little intimidated as I had only read about it in glossy magazines as the new 'place to be seen' in Dublin. Frequented by the likes of top models Rosanna Davison, Amanda Byram and Sarah McGovern (they looked after her hair and make up for her recent wedding), I was a tad petrified they would take one look at me and point their perfectly manicured finger towards the nearest exit. But after doing a little research into the place, I was quite intrigued. After learning it was run by top hairdresser Mark O'Keefe and his make up artist wife Paula, I decided to give it a go. They've been working in the industry for years and years and have loads of big profile clients. If it's good enough for Rosanna and the girls, it's good enough for me I thought to myself! I started going to the salon in South William St first and although it's a little pricey (app €150 for a half head highlights and €45 for a blow dry), it's not hugely more expensive compared to the likes of Toni&Guy. The difference in Brown Sugar is that the service is amazing - the staff are excellent, you can enjoy a glass of wine/champagne/beer and the massage chairs in the wash area are to die for! They also apply make up (€50) and give make up lessons (price on request) and after numerous appointments, I can vouch that the girls do a fantastic job - you leave a shinier, happier, glossier version of yourself! When my fantastic stylist Orla moved to their newly opened Blackrock salon, I followed suit and the new salon is just as glamorous and relaxing. I really cant recommend it enough. So, if like me, getting your hair or make up done is a real treat, then get yourself into Brown Sugar sharpish. This is definitely a case of 'you get what you pay for.' The service is the best in Dublin.
