Eurostyles Hair Salon.

A trusted name in Millstreet for more than three decades, Eurostyles Hair Salon has built its reputation on professional service, innovation, and genuine care for its clients. From expert hairdressing to specialised hair, scalp and wig therapy services, Martina has continually adapted to meet the changing needs of her community while maintaining the highest standards of customer care.

Eurostyles Hair Salon: “Hairdressing is a very rewarding career, every day in the salon it’s great to be able to make people look their best. It’s very satisfying to be able to help clients when they are going through their hairloss journey. It can be daunting time especially for the person going through cancer treatment when their hair starts to fall out, wondering what they should do, where to get a wig, how much it costs etc. I’m delighted to be able to offer this service in the salon.”

Communication is only effective when the receiver receives a message, exactly as the sender intended. Sounds simple, but in reality it often is not. When mental health is involved, communication can become even more complex.
In this module we will look at how we communicate in our relationships and with the people around us, we’ll identify barriers to communication and consider the benefits of effective communication on our mental health.

Pickled Deli.

Since opening in 2021 under Katy Walsh and Keely Buckley, Pickled has become a popular destination for great coffee, fresh food and friendly service, serving customers of all ages from across the local community. Founded by Katy Walsh and Keely Buckley, the business has grown from an idea developed during Covid into a thriving takeaway that has built a loyal following through quality, consistency and a welcoming atmosphere.

Pickled; “Opening during Covid was always a risk but it was certainly one that paid off for us. While Keely had vast experience in baking before we opened, so much was self-taught and learned on the job which is definitely something to be proud of, and something I think our customers are definitely appreciative of. We also feel so proud and grateful to look out the hatch on a Saturday morning to see a queue of people waiting outside. That is something we are still so grateful for.”
