  • Akara Nail and Beauty Terenure

    Akara is a nail-led salon on Terenure Road North, close to the village crossroads and handy for Rathgar, Templeogue and Harolds Cross. Gel and acrylic extensions, manicures and pedicures make up most of the diary, with waxing, tinting, eyelash extensions, spray tanning and massage filling out the rest. The standout is the opening hours: Tuesday to Friday from 10am right through to 9pm, which is later than almost anything else in Dublin 6W and makes it genuinely usable after work. Closed Sundays and Mondays.

    • HoursTue to Fri 10am to 9pm, Sat 10am to 6pm
  • Bellaza Beauty Clinic

    Bellaza Beauty Clinic on Ranelagh Road takes a more clinical approach than most neighbourhood salons, with anti-ageing treatments and endermologie sitting alongside the usual facials, waxing, manicures and pedicures. Permanent hair removal and Dermalogica facials are among the more requested treatments. Opening hours run Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 8pm, closed Sundays and Mondays, and the late finish makes it workable after work. The clinic is a few minutes walk from Ranelagh village and the Luas, and appointments can be arranged by phone or WhatsApp as well as online.

  • Burgundy Beauty Salon Stillorgan

    Burgundy Beauty works from Newtown Park at Stillorgan Park in Blackrock, covering facials, nails, waxing, brow and lash treatments and massage. Newtown Park Avenue runs between Stillorgan and Blackrock, serving both, with the N11 and the Stillorgan Luas stop close by. The location suits anyone in the Foxrock, Mount Merrion and Booterstown belt who would rather not go into Blackrock village and fight for parking.

    • Address7 Newtown Park, Stillorgan Park, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, A94 C3Y7
  • C Beauty Studio

    C Beauty Studio is on Main Street in Blackrock, in a bright, muted-toned room that has built a solid reputation locally — it holds a 4.7 average on Treatwell. The list covers waxing, full-body spray tanning, facials, nails, lashes and make-up. It is open seven days, which is rare, with 9pm finishes Tuesday to Friday and Sunday afternoons from 11am to 5pm, so it suits weekend and after-work bookings.

  • Creo Beauty Ballsbridge

    Creo Beauty works out of Granite Place in Ballsbridge, a short walk from the Aviva and the Dublin 4 embassy belt. Nails are the strongest part of the offering, covering BIAB overlays, extensions, nail art, manicures and pedicures, with a dedicated lash and brow bar, waxing, threading and tanning alongside. The salon uses Waxperts, The Gel Bottle, Browcode and He-Shi rather than own-brand product, and takes male clients as well. Late opening runs to 8pm from Wednesday to Friday, with Saturday mornings from 9am.

    • HoursTue to Sat, closed Sunday and Monday
  • Dundrum Cosmetic Clinic

    Dundrum Cosmetic Clinic is a medical-led laser and skin clinic on the fourth floor of the Dundrum Medical Centre on Sandyford Road, Dublin 16. Established in 2005, it operates from a fully equipped medical clinic rather than a salon room. The focus is laser work: hair removal, tattoo and thread-vein removal, skin and acne treatments, peels and semi-permanent make-up, using Candela alexandrite, Nd:YAG and Soprano systems. Appointment only, open weekdays until 9pm, with garage and bike parking on site.

  • Heaven Face and Body Rathmines

    Heaven Face and Body occupies a space on Lower Rathmines Road with four separate treatment rooms, giving it more range than most salons of its size. Alongside Shellac manicures and pedicures, the team offer Murad and Dermalogica facials, mink lash extensions, Hollywood and Brazilian waxing, Bellamianta spray tanning and massage. Laser hair removal is handled in-house on advanced equipment, which is what draws a lot of the repeat custom. The Rathmines location puts it within easy reach of Ranelagh, Rathgar and Harolds Cross, and the business also operates a sister branch in County Meath.

  • In Vogue Skin and Beauty Blackrock

    In Vogue has been trading on Blackrock Main Street for close to thirty years, which makes it one of the longest-running beauty businesses in south county Dublin. The premises runs to ten treatment rooms, so it handles professional skincare, nails, waxing, lash and brow work and spa treatments without the scheduling squeeze smaller salons face. Advanced skincare is the area it is best known for locally. Opening is early at 8.30am most mornings and runs to 8.30pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, which suits commuters using the DART or the N11.

    • Address23 Main Street, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, A94 V4A6
    • Phone01 288 8880
    • HoursMonday to Saturday, closed Sunday
  • Marina’s Beauty Salon

    Marina’s has been on Rathgar Road in Dublin 6 for around 25 years, run by Marina herself. It leans towards hair removal and skin rather than nails — IPL, electrolysis, Brazilian and general waxing, anti-acne and back facials, aromatherapy massage and Californian spray tanning. Electrolysis in particular is harder to find than it used to be. Open six days with a late finish on Thursday, closed Sunday.

  • MELT Hair & Beauty

    Melt works from a suite on Lower Rathmines Road, running hair and beauty together. Being in a suite rather than a street-level shopfront makes for a quieter appointment than the main Rathmines drag, which is one of the busiest stretches in south Dublin. Facials, nails, waxing and brow and lash work sit alongside cutting and colour. Rathmines is a short walk from Portobello and well served by buses into town.

    • AddressSuite 144, 103-105 Lower Rathmines Road, Dublin 6
  • Rochas Beauty

    Rochas Beauty is on Richmond Street South in Portobello, Dublin 2, a few minutes from the canal. Founded by Ariana Rocha, it is an award-winning salon — named Best Makeup Salon in Ireland at the 2023 Irish Makeup Awards — and covers a wide list: cutting, colour, blow-dries, keratin treatments and nano-ring extensions on the hair side, plus brow lamination, hybrid brows, Phibrows microblading, lash lifts and tints, BIAB and gel nails, makeup and laser hair removal.

  • Rouge Beauty Salon

    Rouge Beauty sits in the middle of Ranelagh village, a short walk from the Luas stop, and has built a steady local following among Dublin 6 residents. The treatment list runs from Shellac and gel manicures through to pedicures, spray tanning, waxing, threading and eyelash and eyebrow work, with facials available for those wanting something longer. It is the kind of neighbourhood salon people return to rather than shop around, and evening appointments make it workable for anyone commuting into town. Booking ahead is sensible, particularly for Friday and Saturday slots.

    • Address66 Ranelagh Village, Dublin 6, D06 DR44
    • Phone01 498 2505
  • Selena’s Beauty Spa

    Selena’s Beauty Spa sits at 125 Ranelagh Village, on the main strip through Ranelagh in Dublin 6. It is primarily a nail and lash salon — manicures, pedicures, lash and brow work — with facials, dermaplaning, chemical peels, threading and hair removal alongside. Finishes use The Manicure Company and OPI products. It is one of the busier salons in the village, open seven days bar Monday and until 8pm on Thursday and Friday. Parking is paid on-street outside.

  • Skin First Donnybrook

    Skin First sits on Morehampton Road in Donnybrook, next to Donnybrook Fair, and is a skin clinic first and a beauty salon second. It was the first pHformula-accredited centre in Ireland, and the treatment list is built around specific conditions rather than general pampering: acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation are the ones it is most often approached for. Straightforward facials are available too, along with waxing and brow work. Worth considering if you have tried standard salon facials without much result and want something more clinical.
