Review of Peter Mark’s Hairdressing
Good hairdressing in Cork
Since moving to Cork just over 4 years ago, I’ve tried a fair number of hairdressers: D’Arcy’s Design on Paul Street, Leonard’s in Douglas, Toni & Guy’s in Washington St and Devine in Wilton. Whilst all have been fine, none have grabbed me enough to make me want to return repeatedly. What I want when I go to the hairdressers is a stylist who’s ready to advise me. After all, they’re the professionals. I want a haircut that suits my face shape and makes me feel fabulous and gorgeous. Ok, ok, I’m asking for alot I don’t want someone who just faffs about and just basically trims my hair or gives me the latest fad style which probably doesn’t suit me. I’m not an expert in haircolour or styles so I go to the hairdresser to provide this service. I really hate salons where it seems to take bloody ages to blow dry my hair, its short, it shouldn’t take an hour or where I’m left waiting for the stylist to juggle multiple appointments. Last Saturday, on the advice of my sister in law, I headed to Peter Mark’s in Mahon Point to get my hair coloured and cut. I had made the appointment earlier in the week at which stage, I was required to have my skin tested to ensure I wasn’t allergic to the hair colourants. The salon is bright and located in the middle of the Mahon Point shopping centre so parking is free and no problem. Simone was my stylist. I thought she was great. Chatty but not in a “shut up, you’re doing my head in” fashion. She was brilliant in advising me what hair colour would suit. The dye application was carried out by a junior but I wasn’t left sitting hanging around at any stage. I left the styling to Simone and she suggested a haircut she thought would suit my face shape and lifestyle. The result of which I am very happy with. Numerous offers of coffee and magazines were made, the service was great and efficient. I wasn’t left waiting at any stage. The cost was approximately €80. I’ll be back the next time I need a haircut.
