Three new spots to get your hair, brows and nails sorted
Ready for a new look?
If you’ve been returning to the same salon on autopilot for years now, it could be time for a little change of scenery.
Whether you need a full makeover or some small tweaks to bring you bang up to date, there are gorgeous new businesses popping up all over the place at the moment so there’s never been a better time to book in with a new beauty buddy.
Do it; take the plunge; get that fringe you’ve been thinking about, skip the French manicure for a set of neon gel nails.
And don’t feel guilty about cheating on your usual stylist (but do bring a pair of sunglasses in case you run into them afterwards).
Here are three spots to try first:
1. RETHINK YOUR BROWS
Visiting the same brow bar month after month? Sometimes change is good. Specialising in shaping, waxing and tinting, Brows by Julie just opened on Tuckey Street in Cork City Centre.
Her face-framing brow re-shapes are guaranteed to give your look a lift, whether you like a power brow or a subtle arch. Text 085 227 6284 for an appointment.

2. NAIL THE MAXIMALIST LOOK
If you like to let your fingers do the talking, you’ll be needing a nail technician with a flair for the creative. Courtney Lee just opened her first salon room, Nails by Courtney Jade, offering all the usual nail services as well as some uber artistic nail art options to illustrate your acrylics.
You’ll find her at American Beauty, Westside Centre, Model Farm Road (call 085 777 0443 to make an appointment).

3. CHEAT ON YOUR USUAL SALON
They say a change is as good as a rest and when it comes to your hair, sometimes change can be transformational. You might remember Guapa on Tuckey Street, well these days this edgy little salon has a whole new look and a new name to boot: Lillie.
The Lillie team do all the usual cuts and colours, but they are masters of the hipster fringe and the modern bob and revered among curly-haired clients. Call 021 427 3720 to make an appointment and you could be rocking a new ‘do by the weekend.
