Irish stylist Ciara Jones and her wife Carley Jones are opening their Boombae hair salon and sister brand The Laser Club in Dublin, where Ciara is originally from.
The married couple founded Boombae in Manchester in the UK almost five years ago, and the business has since expanded to include two hair salons, along with four laser and skin clinics under The Laser Club brand.
Following a €500,000 investment, the new salon is opening on 20 January in a 4,000sq ft unit based in Hamilton Gardens in Cabra. Hamilton Gardens is an apartment complex on Dublin's northside, which also features a café, co-working space, grocery store, chemist, barbers and gym.
Boombae is a hair extensions and colour specialist salon, which offers a range of of extension methods, including Kia Knots, Ciara and Carley’s own technique. The new salon will include 12 hair stations, six backwash stations, a training room and boardroom, a management office, and a large staff room with a fitted kitchen and break area.
It will also house The Laser Club, which will feature three treatment rooms and three teeth-whitening pods. The Laser Club specialises in laser hair removal treatments, and also offers a variety of skin treatments, facials and laser tattoo removal.
“We had to start from complete scratch, bringing all services in, building all walls, ceilings and wiring,” said Carley. “It’s been quite the challenge to meet all fire regulations and DAC requirements, but I am proud to say our unit is fully disability compliant in every way for both workers and clients.
"It includes two disabled access toilets and lots of moveable space. We are so excited to be the only hair salon in Hamilton Gardens and can’t wait to meet all of our new clients.”
