I cannot recommend Salon2 enough, Ruth was so helpful with suggestions in the run up to the wedding and went above and beyond trying to squeeze me in for a trial, a difficult task considering I wasn't local. My stylist Aaron was amazing, and at the trial gave me an updo to hide my hairstyle from my fianc?, which was so nice I nearly changed my mind on what style I would go with! We had 8 people needing attention, and Salon2 were amazingly efficient, chatty and friendly. I only wish I lived near Sligo so that Aaron could always style my hair!

Thanks so much to the staff at salon 2 who helped in making the months leading up to the wedding exciting & stress free! Having regular contact and a portfolio of your trial and plan was so helpful and nice to have before the day.
Really professional staff on the day of the wedding and they contributed to creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere. They were extremely flexible and highly skilled with regards to the bridesmaids suggestions for Styles. I was so pleased with my hair style & the bridesmaids. I would highly recommend salon 2. They listen to what you want, are very creative and really try to make it all stress free. From start to finish a very professional hair salon.

I don't know where to start! Right from the get go Salon 2 was always so helpful and welcoming, not to mention extremely talented!
Aaron did my hair and I just loved it! It was soft and suited the dress perfectly. Aaron is a Fantastic hair stylist and he was great fun to have around the morning of the wedding. My mum is still talking about his 'fabulous teeth' ????
And then there Ruth. Ruth, answered every tiny worry and question I had regardless of it being related to my hair. I really appreciated her taking the time to reply to my emails and for always being so approachable. She is a very kind and generous lady. Salon 2 is very lucky to have both Ruth and Aaron!

Salon 2 were an absolute dream to deal with. The communication was so professional and always prompt. The set up on the day was so slick, and all the hair stylists were so nice. We actually had great fun getting our hair done. The hair styles turned out amazing, everyone was thrilled. My hair was exactly what I'd imagined for myself and it lasted all day.
I really could not recommend salon 2 highly enough!

I cannot recommend Salon 2 enough for wedding hair. They allocated 2 stylists to our booking and (Shirley and Aaron) and they were both fantastic. From the hair trials months before to the hairstyles on the morning of my wedding they were always so helpful, professional and a joy to have part of our day. Also we loved how they came out to our house on the morning of the wedding.

I loved working with Salon 2 on my wedding day so much. My husband and I traveled from the US to celebrate our wedding in Sligo, so we had to do all of our planning from many miles away. Ruth replied very quickly to my initial request for a quote/availability with all of the information I needed. From there she was so easy to work with on the scheduling for myself and my bridal party (my mother in law, sister in law, mother, 2 sisters, and 3 nieces).
Everything from the trial consultation to the timing was perfect and because Ruth was so detail oriented it was so much less stressful than I expected ( she even recommended a nail salon). My stylist was a total pro. She was fun and easy to work with and new exactly how to style my thin, very straight hair to match the photos I brought in. After my initial trial she even gave me a fun updo to wear out that night. I loved how my hair and the hair of the rest of our bridal party came out and would highly recommend Salon 2.
Response from Salon 2
Thanks Kathleen for the lovely review. I'm so glad you found the planning process from abroad easier than you thought!
Delighted to hear everyone was happy with their hair. Thanks for the photos. Looked like you had a great day.
Wishing you all the best for the future Kathleen. If you're ever back in Sligo, be sure to pop in and say hi!

The team at Salon 2 did an absolutely great job on the hair for my wedding. Shirley did my hair, and Aaron did a couple of the bridesmaids, and my mother also got her hair done. All of us were delighted with our hair, they did such a great job. Shirley was really helpful in my trial, she knew what would and wouldn't suit my hair and had some great suggestions. We got a great welcome in the salon on the morning of the wedding too and they had us in and out efficiently so our morning ran to plan. Would definitely recommend.

Shirley from Salon 2 did an incredible job with my wedding hair, and also with the styling of my bridesmaids upstyles. We were really delighted with the finish, however, it was the way that the team worked on the morning of our wedding that stood out. Shirley and Kathy were calm, relaxed and really helped to set the tone of the day. It was a great help to have an relaxing morning and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

I cannot recommend Salon 2 highly enough. I planned my wedding from Australia & the communication (from Ruth) was prompt, informative & they went above & beyond to secure stylists for my wedding 2 days after Christmas. Shirley my stylist was relaxed, professional & an incredibly talented/creative stylist. I am so pleased I chose Salon 2 for my wedding day.
Fantastic & extremely professional hair salon.
So popular with all brides & so easy to see why.
Ruth is an absolute pleasure to deal with in coordinating the timings of our day. The salon owners Anthony & Deirdre are such lovely people who go above & beyond to ensure you have a great experience. Aaron did my hair & he is so talented as are all the team there. Easy to see why they keep on winning so many rewards, would 100% recommend them for bridal hair, they are truly fantastic!

I would highly recommend her and the whole Salon 2 team.

Going back to my home town of Sligo for my wedding celebrations, Salon 2 was an obvious choice. Anthony and his team are incredibly welcoming, genuine and talented people so I knew I was in great hands for my big day. From the moment I booked the services of Salon 2 Ruth the wedding coordinator was on hand to assist and offer advice and was lovely to deal with from start to finish. Katie was our stylist. I brought a picture along for the trial and she nailed the look with ease. On the day I asked for a slightly more relaxed curl and Katie was again able to interpret what I wanted and style my hair exactly how I asked. My style and that of my bridesmaid and mum (who were both equally as happy with their hair) held really well. Katie was a joy to work with. Salon 2 deserves its great reputation as the team goes to so much effort to ensure that they have happy customers and the happiest of brides:-)

I found Salon 2 after googling ?hairdressers in Sligo? and after reading a few online reviews contacted the salon who put me in touch with Ruth. Ruth was great and always came back to me if I had any questions. I gave her a vague idea of what I had in mind and she emailed me back with photos of styles I might like. I also emailed Ruth some photos of styles I had seen and she gave them to the hairdresser for my trial. I then booked in for my trial and my hairdresser, Florence was brilliant. She really listened to what I wanted, and (more importantly!) what I didn't want. From this she was able to create a style I absolutely loved. Also had a trial with my maid of honour and my mother and both their hairdressers were equally brilliant. My maid of honour didn't really know what she wanted but they were able to create something beautiful for her.
On the day of the wedding, three hairdressers (Florence, Aaron and Trisha) came to the hotel where we got married and did our hair. They had a very professional set up, were very relaxed and friendly. The whole operation was overseen by Deirdre from Salon 2 who made sure everything ran smoothly. We also had some family members, who wanted their hair done so another hairdresser set up in another room and did their hair, which they paid the salon for directly. I found the price was very reasonable, especially considering we had me, my mother and four bridesmaids who needed their hair done at the hotel. Spending the morning with the lovely staff at Salon 2 making us all beautiful was a wonderful way to start off my wedding day. I truly could not recommend them enough!

Please pass on a huge thanks to Katie. My hair was exactly what I wanted on the day, she
managed to capture the look I was going for perfectly! And despite high winds, rain, a little hail
and a veil to contend with my hair was still perfect at 4am when I finally went to bed and I do
believe it would have lasted the whole next day too had I let it!!
My bridesmaids hair too was exactly what I had pictured (fitted in with my Downton Abbey
notion!!) and three of the four kept their hair up the next day too!! We all got loads of

Shirley as always produced an amazing upstyle (with no help or guidance from me!). From the 12
months leading up to the wedding, she was very much focused on getting my colour right for the
wedding, the length, etc.
The girls were absolutely amazing on the morning of the wedding and all the bridesmaids and
mother of bride were very happy with their hair.
I am a huge Shirley fan and will continue to be a loyal Salon 2 customer.
