Longhair Studio and Academy Limerick

It’s not just about hair ❤️

Seeing our clients leave the salon feeling beautiful, happy and confident is honestly the best part of what we do! 🥹🫶🏻

Love being able to make women feel amazing every day! ✨❤️

I mean… LOOK at this transformation! 😍🔥

Same girl, same hair… just a little help from our Nano Infralight Bond Volume Fillers! ✨

And what a difference! 🥹❤️

Fuller, longer, beautiful hair without needing a full head of extensions!

This is exactly why I LOVE what I do! ❤️

Sometimes it’s not just about the hair… it’s about how it makes you FEEL! 🥰

Longhair Studio ✨

First of all, thank you so much for all the lovely messages and positive support ❤️🥰 Really appreciate it!

And don’t worry… no drama in Episode 3! 😂✌️

We all know running a business isn’t always sunshine and rainbows 😂 There are good days, bad days, difficult decisions and plenty of lessons along the way!

But there are also so many amazing things about being your own boss! 🙌🏻❤️

So in Episode 3, let’s talk about the good side too! The changes, the growth, the advantages of the rent-a-chair model, finding that work-life balance and actually enjoying what we work so hard for!

Because sometimes success isn’t about having more or getting bigger… it’s simply about being happier with what you’ve built. 🥰

Keep growing. Keep smiling. Keep going. ✨

Episode 3 coming next week ! 🎬🖤

EPISODE 2 🎬🖤 — Nobody talks about this side of being a salon owner…

A year ago, I made a decision to change my salons to a hybrid business model.

My team decided to move on. I won’t be naming anyone here, and I never will. I genuinely loved and cared about the people I worked with. I’m simply sharing my side of the story. ❤️

Flowers, hugs, goodbyes and wishing everyone the best. 💐🫂

Two months later? A letter from the WRC regarding an unfair dismissal claim.

And then came the comments…

“She won’t last long without a stylist.”

An Indeed review calling my management rude, unprofessional and discriminatory.

Group chats, meetings, unfollows… and people who once supported me suddenly watching from the sidelines.

All because I made a business decision that not everyone was happy with. 🤷‍♀️

Did it break me a little? Absolutely.

There were moments when it felt like me and the few people standing beside me against everyone else.

But guess what?

I still showed up. Every single day.

Looking after my clients, running two salons and smiling while dealing with things nobody knew about.

And trust me, business wasn’t the only battle I was fighting at the time.

Was it hard? Incredibly.

And sometimes I wonder… maybe I should’ve paid for a few more trips abroad to earn a little more respect? 🥴😂

Anyway… LESSON LEARNED.

Do I regret my decision?

NOT FOR A SECOND.

One year later, both salons are still here. So am I. And I’m stronger, happier and much more protective of my peace. 🖤

I’ve learned that you can have the best intentions and still be the villain in someone else’s story.

LET THEM.

Not everyone will celebrate your decisions, especially when those decisions no longer benefit them.

And that’s okay.

Because sometimes choosing yourself means disappointing others.

And one last thing…

Employers are human too.
We have feelings, families and battles nobody sees. ❤️

What a day! 🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻

6th set of extensions to finish the day! 😍

And honestly, so satisfying! Made working until almost 9pm totally worth it! ♥️

My clients will always be my priority. 🥰

Absolutely wrecked, but happy with the life I’ve built! 🙌🏻♥️

❤️

Episode 1 is here! 🎬🙌🏻

Why I decided to change the way I run my salons.

Two busy salons, a big team, plenty of turnover… sounds like a dream, right? 😂

Well, there’s a lot more happening behind the scenes than people realise!

Sometimes you have to make big decisions, even when not everyone agrees with them.

One year later, both salons are still here, I’m happier, less stressed and finally enjoying my business again. 🖤

Would I do it again? 100%!

And did everyone love the changes? Absolutely not! 😂👀

More on that in Episode 2… 🍿

✨ THINKING ABOUT HAIR EXTENSIONS? ✨

Beautiful extensions aren’t about adding as much hair as possible. It’s about choosing the right method, the perfect amount and creating a natural blend that works with YOUR hair. 🤍

Because sometimes, less really is more! ✨

🎄 A little note about Christmas appointments…

This year, availability is already looking very limited for November & December. I’ll be doing my absolute best to accommodate everyone, with priority given to our lovely regular clients who have supported us throughout the year. ❤️

Please book in advance, as last-minute appointments may be difficult to arrange.

Thank you for keeping us so busy! 🥹❤️

✨ WANT YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS TO LAST LONGER? FOLLOW THESE RULES! ✨

🤍 Keep oils, masks and serums away from your roots and bonds.

🤍 Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and always dry your extensions completely.

🤍 Always blow-dry your extensions with a brush! Never dry them completely first and then try to brush them out. This can cause unnecessary pulling, tangling and damage.

🤍 Sleep with your hair in a loose braid to prevent friction and tangling.

🤍 Avoid protein-based hair products! Too much protein can leave extension hair dry, stiff and prone to breakage. Always use products recommended for your extensions.

✨ Beautiful extensions are an investment — proper aftercare makes all the difference!
