We can do all areas of the face and body.

The most popular areas are the back, chest and brows. Although lately, we have been doing a lot of nose and ear waxing. The hair stays away for much longer than shaving and there is no stubble left behind.

It is a lot less painful than you imagine. With the sunny days head, plenty of beach time. It's never too late to try out waxing, doesn't matter what age you are, we have seen a wide range of men of all ages over the past few months.

A few tips to prepare the skin for waxing sessions.

Be sure to exfoliate before waxing, using a scrub once a week on the area to be waxed should help. Scrub a day or two before your appointment, not the same day. What you are doing with this is removing the dead cells that build up on the surface. That way wax removes just the hair, not a layer of dead cells.

Let your hair grow (if you have been shaving). For best results we recommend 3-4 weeks since your last hair removal. If your hair is too short that wax can't remove it all.

Take time to relax, there is one thing that helps everything and that is a take long hot soak in the bath a couple of hours before your waxing session. The water will also soften the hair, which makes it easier to remove. The warmer the water can soften your skin too. The more relaxed you are the easier it is to wax. When you are tense your muscles are tense and that can hold in the hair.

After waxing, stick to the 48-hr rule, especially for your first treatment.

You will need to keep the area, clean and dry to avoid anything that could irritate your delicate skin. e.g. sunlight, exfoliating, tight clothes, hot baths, swimming, hot tubs and perfumed body lotions.

If the skin feels sensitive or dry, you can apply aloevera-based lotion.

Kerry TD Michael Cahill says he is pushing to ensure the Killarney Innovation Centre secures the funding it needs for its planned expansion.

Deputy Cahill raised the issue in a recent Parliamentary Question to Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke. The centre has applied to the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme under Enterprise Ireland to support future projects.
Minister Burke told Deputy Cahill that the centre’s application will receive “appropriate consideration” and confirmed that Enterprise Ireland will assist the organisation in shaping proposals that match the aims of the scheme.
Deputy Cahill said the support would give the Killarney Innovation Centre “a first run to the ball” in identifying suitable projects that can attract national funding. He added that the centre has received strong Government backing for more than 30 years.
The Minister also noted that three other Kerry projects are progressing under the same national scheme, including a €1 million allocation for the AI Navigator Programme at the RDI Hub in Killorglin, which is designed to help small businesses adapt to artificial intelligence.

Focus Housing Association CLG, the housing arm of Focus Ireland,has submitted an application to Kerry County Council for amendments to its previously approved 67-unit residential development at Woodlands Industrial Estate, Killarney Bypass Road.

The original permission was granted under Kerry County Council reference 21/205.
The new application, maintains the total number of residential units at 67, but outlines several significant internal and external reconfigurations. The overall height and number of storeys for the development will remain unchanged from the scheme initially permitted.
The proposed modifications include a reconfiguration of the basement to incorporate water and attenuation tanks, a lift pit, and an ESB substation. Changes are also outlined for the ground floor, with modifications to the bicycle parking area, which will increase the total number of spaces to 136, and alterations to the bin area.
The plans detail a reduction in car parking spaces from the originally approved 80 down to 74, which will still include four accessible spaces. A substantial decrease is also proposed for the communal open space, which will drop from 719 square metres to 375 square metres due to the removal of a planned roof terrace.
Internal layouts and circulation routes on each floor will be altered, with the final unit mix proposed as 33 one-bedroom and 34 two-bedroom apartments. The changes will result in an increase in the total gross floor area of approximately 871.5 square metres.
Focus Housing Association is seeking permission for the temporary removal and subsequent rebuilding of an existing retaining wall adjacent to the N22 Bypass Road. The wall will be rebuilt to match its existing height and material finish.
