In March 2024, I started as a contract worker for Irelands' leading online trichology clinic, Trua Ireland. Trua offer online consultations to those suffering from hair loss and scalp conditions. Working as a hair and scalp specialist in a small rural town is limiting as the population is small. Trua has enabled me to reach people outside of my catchment area and has helped me to increase my working hours.

After 15 years in the hairdressing industry, I recognized a need for local and assessable services for those experiencing hair loss and scalp issues. In 2023, I introduced LED Light Therapy into the salon environment. I am currently the only hair stylist offering such services in Ireland. I am passionate to offer solutions and hope to clients who often feel a sense of despair regarding their hair and scalp issues. My aim is always to give my clients the best I possibly can. Since venturing outside of the mainstream hairdressing services my knowledge and understanding of hair and skin has improved greatly.

In 2016, I opened my own salon Envee Hairdressing. It was hugely successful and I was incredibly proud. During this time, I employed two full time stylists and gained skills that will last a lifetime. As a salon owner, you are responsible for everything from payroll, to stock management, finances and problem solving. Although my salon was running well, my maternity leave and Covid impacted how I worked. From 2019, Envee Hairdressing became a freelance business catering for weddings and special occasions.
