Simply Skin is at Regency Court on Friary Street in Kilkenny and, as the name suggests, leads with skin rather than general beauty. That makes it worth knowing about if you have a specific concern — acne, pigmentation, sensitivity — that ordinary salon facials have not shifted, since treatment is chosen against the condition rather than picked from a menu. Friary Street is central and pedestrian-friendly.
