Passionate about making others feel and look their best, one local hairdresser has decided to set up her own business.

.

Opened just last week, Nicole’s Hair Salon on St Anne's Road is the latest beauty business on the block and is proving so popular that owner Nicole Coffey has been working 12 hour days to accommodate all appointments.

"I am very passionate about hairdressing and love working with people, so I decided to open my own hair salon," Nicole, who holds a Master's degree in Colouring, told the Killarney Advertiser.

"I've been flat out since opening, doing 12 hour days as I've built up a good clientele over the years."

Nicole began her career with Helena Jordan at Jordan Hair Salon 16 years ago. And she said that she loved every minute of it.

"The experience and training was fantastic," she said.

"The best part of my hairdressing career was travelling to do weddings throughout the country and abroad for destination weddings e.g. Portugal, and travelling to the big international hair shows in London."

Nicole is very well-known for her upstyling skills, and also specialises in Wella products such as System Professional.

She is open from Tuesday to Saturday weekly and can take pre-booked late appointments for those who can't make it during the day.

Kerry Community Youth Service (KCYS) was pleased to welcome Minister Niall Collins to its Youth Diversion Project in Kilarney last week.

The visit gave the Minister an opportunity to meet staff and hear directly about the work of the Kerry Youth Diversion Project, including early intervention, family support, court accompaniment and wider youth justice practice across the county.
KCYS supports young people across a broad continuum of services in Kerry, from preventative and developmental youth work through to highly targeted interventions for young people and families facing significant challenge and complexity. The Youth Diversion Project forms an important part of that wider continuum of support.
Speaking following the visit, Seamus Whitty, CEO of KCYS, said:
“We were delighted to welcome Minister Collins to Kerry and to have the opportunity to give him a sense of the breadth and depth of the work being carried by the Youth Diversion Project here.
The Youth Diversion Project in Kerry is a strong and well-developed intervention, grounded in practice, informed by evidence, and marked by innovation in how it supports young people and families. It is part of a broader continuum of supports provided by KCYS, and it depends on strong collaboration across teams, services and community partners to make a real difference in people’s lives.
It is also important to acknowledge the Department’s continued commitment to youth justice. The policy direction in this area has been a progressive one, and that has created space for work of this kind to develop and respond to need in a meaningful way.”
The visit highlighted the scale and complexity of the work being carried by the KCYS team, and the importance of sustained investment in youth work responses for young people and families.

Representing the Killarney Municipal District at Sunday’s Assess Ireland Rally of the Lakes launch, Cllr Niall ‘Botty’ O’Callaghan praised the enduring partnership between the Rally of the Lakes and the local community.

For the O’Callaghan family, the event is deeply personal; they own and operate the Failte Hotel on College Street, a landmark business that has grown alongside the rally for decades.
Cllr O’Callaghan noted that the history of the Failte Hotel is inextricably linked with the rally’s heritage, serving as a hub for competitors and fans since the early days of the event.
He said that the rally has become a vital part of the fabric of Killarney life, providing a massive economic and social boost to the town. “The rally has been part of the hotel’s history as much as the hotel has been part of the rally’s history,” he told the gathered crowd, expressing his pride in seeing the tradition continue.
He welcomed the organisers and sponsors to Gleneagle, wishing the event continued success as it remains a cornerstone of the Killarney sporting calendar.
