An award-winning salon on Main Street in Letterkenny, Patrick Gildea runs hairdressing and beauty together. Main Street is the spine of the town and among the busiest retail streets in the north west, drawing shoppers from across Donegal and from Derry and Tyrone across the border. The combined format means a cut, colour and a beauty treatment can be handled in a single visit — useful if you are travelling any distance, which most of this salon’s catchment is.
