Hair by Tala is in Castlebar beside Penneys with parking close by, offering professional hair services for women, men and children. Colour work and upstyles are the specialisms — upstyles in particular are a distinct skill and matter for the occasion trade, which in a county town means debs, weddings and communions clustered through the summer. Included here because hair and beauty appointments are so often booked around each other, and the location puts it beside several Castlebar beauty salons.
