On Bridge Street in the centre of Clifden, The Beauty Clinic is an IMAGE Skincare stockist and covers HD Brows, brow lamination, lash treatments, waxing, spray tanning, CND Shellac and gel nails. IMAGE is an active-ingredient professional line aimed at pigmentation and ageing rather than a general spa range. The breadth here is deliberate — in a town this remote a salon has to cover everything, because the nearest alternative for most treatments is Galway city, roughly ninety minutes away.
