PIXIE HAIR SALON

With decades of experience...

After working together for the past 8 years, Marian Gleeson and Josephine Cuddy decided to join forces and create PIXIE hair studio on Merchants Road, Galway City. Their aim is to provide a salon experience that is not only reliable for its ability to provide high service standards, knowledge, skills and innovative techniques but to do so in a relaxed, comfortable space. These ladies love what they do, and with their experience and knowledge comes an exceptional standard of hairdressing. Marian is famous for her precision haircuts, her creativity coming from a strong knowledge in the foundations of cutting and her eye for detail. Jo is known for being an expert in colour, creating bespoke colours that are tailor made for the client. This makes the successful duo the Dream Team. The Pixie Hair Team are passionate about what they do. Mairead Joyce who is a senior stylist at pixie, has a vast amount of knowledge in all aspects of hairdressing and her calm and professional manner puts all clients at ease. Shannan Haverty is the new kid on the block, this up and coming stylist is highly motivated, super talented with a very bright future ahead. Amber Flannagan is just starting her career, she is bubbly and enthusiastic and is a great addition to the team.

Teaming up with Xpert professional, the salon has something for everyone. Offering Joico, Kemon and Alfaparf colour ranges, Pixie are able to create bespoke services to cater for all colour needs. Subtle slight enhancements are treated with as much enthusiasm as dramatic total transformations. Product knowledge is key, it is important that every client who visits the salon is able to manage their hair at home. The team are passionate about education focusing on sharing their knowledge with their clients to help maintain their individual style, thus ensuring everyone leaves with a smile on their face.

The salon has a calm yet fun atmosphere. The aim is to make everyone feel at home and comfortable. The team have a strong bond, being friends as well as colleagues and everyone that visits can feel this. It creates a warm mood and environment that clients love.

This collaboration has a very exciting future within the hairdressing industry!
