'Flat out until June' but normality returning as people queue for long-awaited haircuts

Reception in Brown Sugar as businesses reopen. Image: The Journal Reception in Brown Sugar as businesses reopen. Image: The Journal ‘FLAT OUT UNTIL mid-June’ is how Pamela Brennan describes bookings for the Brown Sugar hairdressers in Blackrock.

Instead, it was a case of chatting to the stylists, who are more than anything relieved to be back at work, and grabbing a word with the women lucky enough to get a slot.

The salon is laid out over two floors, with separate rooms in the basement for hair-washing and blow-drying.

Then there’s some people who just want to come in for the bit of fun and the craic. It’s been really nice to hear people who have actually waited six months and haven’t go their hair done at home because they want to see us.”

It’s the job of chief operations officer Patrick Moloney to get this salon and the five others in the Sugar Culture Hairdressing Group up and running for the big reopening.Right now, capacity is essentially halved with two-metre social distancing in place. The nearby Donnybrook branch had queues around the corner when this reporter was passing but there were only a couple of men waiting here.
