Carrie’s works from Pearse Street in Athlone and describes itself as a beauty, skin and makeup salon — the skin element being the part that distinguishes it from a general salon. Facials, nails, waxing and brow and lash treatments are covered. Athlone sits on the Shannon at the midpoint of the country and functions as the commercial centre for a wide midlands catchment reaching into Roscommon and Offaly, so its salons draw well beyond the town.
