Kieran O’Gorman runs a hair and beauty day spa at The Butterslip, the narrow medieval lane connecting High Street and St Kieran’s Street in the middle of Kilkenny. The day spa format means longer treatments and packages rather than quick appointments, with massage and body work alongside hair and beauty. The Butterslip is pedestrian-only, so it is walk-in territory from the city centre car parks.
