Amy’s Beauty Nails is at Lurgans in Carrickmacross, covering nails, brow and lash treatments, waxing and facials. Carrickmacross is the largest town in south Monaghan, historically a lace-making centre, and sits close enough to the Louth and Meath borders that its salons draw from all three counties. Nail-led salons tend to be quicker for a straightforward appointment than full-service premises, and parking around Lurgans is easier than on the main street.
