Sean Taaffe renews partnership with Rose of Tralee

Salon group Sean Taaffe Hair & Beauty will be the official hair partner to the Rose of Tralee International Festival again this year. Taaffe is the owner of salons in Tralee, Killarney and Killorglin, and has a team of 65 hairdressing professionals.

Taking place from 23-27 August, this year marks the 60th year of the Rose of Tralee, which kicks off on the Friday night with the famous Rose Ball. The festival is running a week later than previous years for 2019. The Sean

Taaffe group will style the 32 Roses’ hair and apply their make-up for their appearances on TV over the two nights that the competition is aired on RTE One.
“We are proud to be involved in the staging of the Rose of Tralee International Festival,” said Taaffe. “Over the past four years, we have gained an insight to the time, effort and attention to detail that combine to make the Rose of Tralee such a beacon for Tralee and the county as a whole on a global stage.”

Communications manager for the Rose of Tralee International Festival John Drummey added: “Sean Taaffe came on board as our official hair partner in 2016 and since then millions of TV viewers have seen the skill and expertise his team has brought to the event. We are delighted with the partnership and the fact that Sean Taaffe is a Kerry-based company fills us with immense pride. Sean and his team bring a more creative edge to the Roses’ hair each year, which is not surprising for one of the recognised leaders in the industry in Ireland.”
