Hair Café in Dublin adds barbers to its business

Hair Café in Dublin added a barbers to its business in December, with the new premises situated in Blackhall St in Smithfield, across from its Thundercut Alley outlet.

Hair Café is owned by Anita Donoghue and Steve Kucsera, who used the six-week lockdown in October to fit out the new barbers.

Additional hairdressing space is also now available for Hair Café clients at the original salon, as the barbers frees up more styling stations.

The new menu features cutting, fades, beard trims, male Botox, lip fillers and styling in massage chairs, with a choice of barista coffee or herbal teas.

Also new from Hair Café is scalp pigmentation to camouflage hair loss, which is being offered in partnership with Patricia Machowska, who uses a fine needle to deposit small ‘dots’ of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin, creating the cosmetic effect of additional hair. 

“Micropigmentation is very effective, obviously in conjunction with a short buzz cut,” she said. “It hides the appearance of thinning hair and is great for pattern baldness around the front hairline or the top of the scalp.”

Kucsera and Donoghue also developed and launched haircare supplement Grow It by Annutri in early 2020. Exclusive to salons, the blend of vitamins and minerals has been formulated to promote healthy hair growth and encourage longer, stronger and thicker hair. Made in Ireland, the product has stockists in over 60 salons in Ireland and the UK.
