When I first walked into Di Milo’s hair salon, I was immediately impressed. Along with my friend, we were warmly welcomed by Jean Lynch, the owner herself, Kristen and all their work colleagues.

There’s a staff of seven and Jean has also incorporated a nail technician into her business, along with waxing. This salon offers more than just a hair cut.

The salon has been on the go for the last two years and offers a friendly, intimate and personal service. All the clients are residents from all over the Dublin 4 area, and needless to say endless clients from the local offices running in for a quick wash and blow dry before a business meeting.

When we discussed hair styles, the ‘Victoria Beckham’ bob is still a number one favourite. I even have one myself. I think it’s just the versatility of the ‘bob’ that everyone loves.

Di Milo’s takes just six clients at a time, so when you’re seated you know you’re getting a total, professional makeover on your hair just for you. The salon is so warm and friendly, bright lights and soft music playing in the background– everything is totally conducive to relaxation and getting your hair washed and styled with a new image to boot. You can drift away and let the staff pamper you with a very pleasant experience.

Jean understands her clients’ needs. Di Milo’s are experts in braiding and beading. Their goal is to add volume to a client’s hair and to suit their needs and special requests.

Only products that have natural vegetable colours for hair are used. Any client with a scalp disorder need not fear. The staff will thoroughly discuss any worries around this sensitive area.

When I visited Di Milo’s with my friend, she got her hair cut and received lots of personal attention. She was delighted with the assessment and personal sound advice.

They also have a dvd player sharing the latest GHD 1V styler, limited edition on screen. As you get your hair done, you can find out exactly how to straighten and style your hair in an instant.

Di Milo’s decided on Joico Products. For over 25 years, Joico has been known for beautiful healthy hair. It’s a brand recognized for superior product performance, innovation, technology and integrity. When Jean was sourcing what her salon needed, she decided Joico was what suited her clients’ needs best.

Di Milo’s is a salon that understands their clients. Along with their professional outlook and smart uniforms, it’s a business venture that is going from strength to strength in a prime location. Jean’s entrepreneurial skills and foresight have certainly paid off. After my friend’s very flattering quirky cropped neat cut, I look forward to getting my blonde highlights touched up!
