I decided initially to take a course to understand the problems I had with my own skin -I had severe acne from age eleven and skin problems ever since. Besides taking medication as an adolescent and young man my condition I knew very little about it. I was not educated about how to treat my skin using cosmetics rather than medication and I was not sure why - besides “growing pains” - my skin continued to cause me pain and embarrassment. Though, I consider myself lucky, I never suffered severe acne to my face. My condition affected my neck, back, chest, shoulder and upper legs. But now, thanks to everything I have learned about and practiced, I have it under control (aside from the odd breakout).

When it came to my training, I focused all of my research on the male industry and realised quite early on that Ireland was limited in its approach to - and availability of aesthetic treatments for men. I decided at the ripe old age of 22, to set up shop with the support of family, friends and two selflessly kind people (Fergal Martin and David McCarthy).

Eighteen years and many thousands of treatments later, I sometimes find it hard to believe that my idea worked, and in fact the male grooming industry itself is now part of the norm – that would have been hard to imagine when I started out.

Conscious of the fact that my clients are men, and somewhat new to attending a clinic for male beauty treatments, I take a personal approach to my work and I like to get to know my clients to build mutual trust. So that where there are problems on an aesthetic level they are comfortable to talk openly about it and hopefully receive advice and treatment they can rely on. Here’s to sixteen more years and beyond…

Come in and let's talk about your grooming and aesthetic adventure! I look forward to meeting you!
