Patrick Gildea Hairdressing Letterkenny, County Donegal

This professional salon was clean and well sanitized. As usual Irene had her magic scissors with her and I left with the hair cut n colour I wanted. I love treating myself to a visit to Irene.

I was so excited to be getting my hair done after such a long time and it was surely worth the wait. I love both the cut and the colour. I love the way Keira blow dries as well. The place is s well managed in these difficult times but I always feel really safe. Thank you all!!

I looked so forward to this appointment after a terrible year and not long after having a baby, I thought it would be a much needed lift before Christmas.
The wait time was absolutely chronic as there were long gaps of 15/20 mins of just waiting for the hairdresser to return.
Patrick did personally come over to apologise for the wait which was fine but my hair on the other hand made me come home in tears.
The colour was great but it was cut far far too short. Comments were made throughout about the condition of it which made me feel highly self conscious but I have always had weak hair combined with a baby.
It was cut far shorter than what was asked for and with a bill of €170, I left and burst into tears. It’s that short that it can barely be tied up and I am using a heap of hair grips just to get it pinned back as I can’t bear to look at myself in the mirror with the mess of it. Even my family members and anyone who I have seen since doesn’t like it either. It’ll take a very long time to grow in any state that will allow me to not be using loads of pins to clip it back so I don’t have to look at it. I wish I had have just left my hair as it was before because I expected to feel revived and perked up & instead I’ve never felt worse about myself.

Not knocking the salon as a whole but just from my experience for the bill I had, I won’t be returning.

All staff very friendly.

Really following COVID guidelines so I feels safe.

Sharon is very good and hands very light as I do not feel that she is cutting my hair.

Patrick friendly and spent time to talk to everyone!

Definitely coming back there!

Happy Christmas!

Claudia was excellent
The most important thing in business is customer service
Patrick Gildea has the best of all the places I have been to in Ireland

From the minute you arrive and speak to the lovely receptionists to the minute you leave, Patrick Gildeas hairdressers offers an excellent service . Not only is it truly a cut (excuse the pun!) above any other salon, it feels like you are being lovingly looked after. Florentine’is just brilliant - such a warm and engaging lovely young talented lady who took time listening to what I wanted and putting her own touches knowing what would work for me. I will definitely be back.

excellent customer experience.

Thank you so much Claudia for my funky new hairstyle. I love it so much. I felt so looked after and the hot chocolate was delicious. It was a big change but so worth it because it is so cool. Éabha, 11yrs old

Great service fab color wonderful blowdry attention to detail

This was my first visit to Claudia and I was seriously impressed! From the minute she spoke to me it was clear that she knew a lot about colouring hair. The advice she offered was professionally sound and I am delighted with my colour and cut! Thanks Claudia.

Three times today i was asked who cuts your hair i was delighted to say Sharon in Patrick Gildeas. I'm always happy with my cut and colour whenever i visit the salon.

I am so happy with another super hairstlye. Its a wonderful trip to Letterkenny to enjoy the great atmosphere created by Patrick and his team.

As always Vickey has been so professional in styling my hair, and she makes you so welcome with her personal touch.

Delighted with my cut

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Patrick for looking after my mum today in such a caring way. At the start of the year, my mum was facing the start of her chemo journey, Patrick showed her such kindness and put us both at ease when she went to get her hair shaved and took his time to help her decide on a hair piece. He made the whole experience so much easier and less stressful than we anticipated. Today mammy left the salon like a new woman, feeling great after having her first hair cut since her treatment finished! It was such a great end to a tough year and to it was so nice to see her confidence back again! I’d also like to add the standard of hygiene is exceptional in the salon.So thank you so much Patrick!

Very clean & tidy premises friendly professional staff, vfm and as a loyal customer since 09 I’ve never known the salon any other way.

I am always very impressed with the care and attention I receive at Patrick Gildea Hairdressing. As usual my hair cut style and blow dry by Siobhan is excellent. All the staff are so friendly too and makes you feel welcome in these strange times and they never complain about all the extra things that they have to do now with this Covid 19. Of course the coffee is lovely too. I have to say I am once again a very satisfied customer. Thank you Siobhan

Visited Patrick Gildea Hairdressing this afternoon, and as usual my visit did not disappoint, lovely welcome, great advice from Noreen & always feel safe!

Great service, love it

Really love my new hair. It was my first visit so it was great to have a tour of the salon to see all the different services. Fantastic safety measures in place. Felt completely at ease and relaxed. Kiera was excellent; extremely talented. All in all - brilliant.

Irene and the entire staff I came into contact with today (also Peter and Joanne) were all friendly, very courteous, and professional. They made me feel most welcome on my first visit to the salon and first haircut since the start of 2020. Irene’s manner made me feel at ease, and her skill was evident in how she approached each stage of my haircut.
I appreciated that Patrick stopped by to check in, too.
I would unreservedly recommend this salon to anyone.

Today’s experience was so pleasant. Vicky Harris is unparalleled and peerless as a stylist in the north-west region. Her knowledge of her clients’ needs, her attention to detail and her calming demeanor mean every visit to the salon is a fulfilling one.

Myself and my 2 girls have been going to Patrick Gildae's hairdressers for as long as I can remember and Kiera looks after me extremely well from start to finish, can't recommend her enough!

Fantastic service, love my hair!

(Not sure if I have the correct Elaine)
Elaine knew exactly what I wanted and she done an amazing job. Absolutely love my new hair and the cut is the best cut I have ever had. The salon is gorgeous and super clean. A lovely girl called Chloe(I think) even went and found me a phone charger. So kind and friendly girls.

My hair feels light and manageable again, thanks so much for the great cut!
