Celebrations and special offers at Petals Hair and Beauty - Hair Salon of the Year

Special offers and customer discounts for a limited time only are now available at Petals Hair and Beauty Salons in both Castlebar and Westport, as part of celebrations to mark the recent selection of Petals as the 2018 Hair Salon of the Year.

After beating off stiff competition to make it through as one of ten regional finalists, Petals was announced as the overall winner and presented with the award of Hair Salon of the Year at the high-glamour Irish Hair and Beauty Awards held in Dublin on September 9 last.

Petals Hair and Beauty has been providing hair, make-up, beauty and barbering services from its flagship salon in Westport for over 25 years and also at Petals Aveda salon in Castlebar, which opened to great success in 2015.

At Petals the goal has always been to offer a relaxing and enjoyable experience to clients while catering to their hair and beauty needs and proof that the salon continues to fulfill this ambition is evident from its loyal clientele built up over the years, as well as its growing fan-base and recognition outside of Mayo.

Welcoming the award, Joan Rowland, MD of Petals, paid tribute to her hard-working team of talented staff and to all those who supported the salon with kind testimonials and positive feedback.

“After 25 years in business it is so nice to be acknowledged for all the hard work the team does. Of course it’s been challenging at times but I am blessed to have a great group of people to work with, all so talented and creative. The outpouring of love and support after the win has been unbelievable, so many good wishes of ‘well done’ to the girls, it means the world to us all.

“Adding hair to the beauty salon really lifted it for us. Your hair is your crowning glory and people really want to look well so combining hair with beauty to increase our offering means that clients get to enjoy makeup artists, passionate stylists and beauty therapists, who love what they do and create a wonderful atmosphere both to work and be pampered in.

“Generally people come in to have a good time, look good and feel a lot better as they are leaving and that is the service we provide - so it is a lovely industry to work in.”

CLIENT EXPERIENCE AWARD

Established in 1993, Petals initial focus was on the provision of luxury skincare and later, top end hair care. Its breathtaking modern, expansive, monochrome design flagship premises in the centre of Westport town, next to the famous Matt Molloy’s pub on Bridge Street, is a huge hit with customers who enjoy its high class modern décor and top-to-toe pampering.

Similarly, appreciation for its centrally located Petals Aveda Salon next to Dunnes in Castlebar has also been acknowledged publicly, with Petals winning the ‘Client Experience Award’ by Phorest Salon Software, which recorded glowing reviews from customers all over Ireland during 2017.

Even having your hair washed at Petals is a sumptuous treat, as clients get to enjoy reclining chairs, vibrating back massage pads, high end hair-care brand products and complimentary head massages during treatment.

LUXURY BRANDS AND HIGH-END RANGES

Luxury beauty ranges available at Petals include Aveda, Olaplex and Voya with in-salon treatments also offering Clarins, Dermalogica, Yonka, Voya and Cailyn makeup, with the men’s range also available in-store. For hair, L’Oreal and Kerastase is also much in demand.

FAMILY SALON WITH HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF

With close to 30 staff and Joan Rowland and her three daughters Katie, Jenny and Aoife all involved in the business, alongside the many staff who have been there through thick and thin over the years, it is no wonder Petals is now considered very much a family business where clients are personally known and warmly welcomed and their needs catered to.

As the Hair Salon of the Year award celebrations continue and positive testimonials and congratulations wishes from satisfied customers continue to pour in, Petals assures customers it will continue to invest in and grow its offering with regular up-skilling and brand training to keep the team on top of latest trends in the hair and beauty industry.
