Capelli opened in Westport in 2006, since then the business has grown from strength to strength and now employs 12 highly professional people, who’s love of their work is evident from the moment you step into this fun and vibrant salon.
I started hairdressing, 19 years ago with an apprenticeship in William Thomas, before qualifying with the Irish Hairdressing Federation. I then moved to Dublin where I upskilled further for 2 years through night courses. During this time I managed 3 salons in Newcastle, Nass and Suncroft. I love the changes in hairdressing and am also qualified in great lengths hair extensions.
I moved back to Westport 7 years ago to continue my love affair with hair. I love hairdressing, the team and the clients at Capelli. They are a great bunch of people to work with. I love the challenge of colours and up styles and get a great pleasure in seeing the results. Outside of the salon I like playing sports and going to music festivals
I’m working at Capelli for 10 years. I trained in William Thomas Hairdressing in Westport and attended cutting, colour and styling courses in Dublin, Galway as well as in-house.The best part of working at Capelli is the clients we have all built up. I love the fact that people trust me to give them a new look and to see the joy and confidence that the ‘reveal’ gives them, it makes the job worthwhile.
On a personal note, I am married with 3 beautiful children, who mean the world to me. I love going out meeting people and entertaining them with a bar of a song (now if only I knew the words).
Originally from North Mayo I completed my hairdressing training in Sligo, I then moved to Galway where I spent 14 years working in the industry.
I enjoy all aspects of hairdressing especially colour. I love change and final colour correction. It’s fun and challenging and you get great satisfaction seeing a happy customer.
I enjoy having the craic with all the team, so working at Capelli suits me perfectly as it’s such a friendly salon
I always loved hair, I guess it runs in the genes as my Grandfather was a Ladies and Gents hairdresser and my Mum followed in his footsteps so naturally I did the same. I started my apprenticeship with my Mum shampooing and then moved to a salon in Castlebar where I began to learn my trade and complete some work experience before completing my qualification with The Mayo College of Hairdressing.
I enjoy reading non-fiction, poetry and walking.
I love hairdressing as I get to meet new people and making them feel good. I enjoy working at capelli, it’s like having another family everyone is kind caring understanding and we all have a great laugh, when it’s time to work we work and when it’s time to play we play.
