I had an amazing experience at Patrick Gildeas in Letterkenny. Megan, with some help from Dean, provided VIP service with incredible attention to detail and lots of helpful tips for my type of hair. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. Considering my unruly curly hair and years since I went to a salon, they worked their magic and gave me a gorgeous new colour, a fabulous treatment, and a lovely cut. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I’ll definitely be back!

Siobhain from the first moment made you feel comfortable, easy and most importantly wanted to ensure your desired finish. Sometimes that's very difficult, you are rushed and maybe confusion in communication. My finished product is me, what I totally wanted, fresh, bold, but fitting for my skin tone- a refreshing consideration some salons nor I would have even explored. I found the whole salon relaxed and at ease, everyone looked like they love working there. Thank you.

It was an absolutely wonderful experience,
Megan was absolutely wonderful and was really kind and considerate of what I was looking for, while also giving good advice where needed. She talked me through everything step by step and gave me advice on how to manage and care for my curly hair, which will be very valuable for me. I was very nervous going into it but really calmed down as time went on. I highly recommend it and especially so to any other curly girlies, as I know how scary it can be looking for somewhere to trust your curls with. :)

It was a wonderful experience from the moment I walked in the door. Beautiful decor, comfortable waiting area, offered tea/coffee, and nice surprise of added biscuit and chocolate.
Patrick is 1 of only 2 people that ever cut my hair that I trust completely. He transformed my waist length hair into a fabulous managable bob.
What I notice, and really love is how friendly everyone is that is working there. Everyone happy and smiling. It really added to the whole experience..
Oh and I nearly forgot the beautiful head massage..

Megan had her work cut out today. I've been trying to grow my hair and today was a difficult day for me as recently when I looked in the mirror I didn't see me. Megan did let me know that there would be days like this and today she was not just a stylist but a counsellor 🙂. Megan was very patient, professional and understanding of my dilemma. I left with a lovely hair cut and a new me.
Thank you Megan.

Due to my very fragile daughter, I used this appointment as a break from reality. I was not disappointed. I won't be parting from Megan
I felt from the constant smiles of others enjoying being there..
The individual staff and what they personally embrace is a reflection of a very opened minded Patrick. Did I feel special...YES.
