BUSINESS OF THE WEEK: Nicole’s got great flare for hair

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.

A private developer has been given planning permission to build 249 new residential units at Upper Park Road.
The development, which will be built on a recently cleared site near An Post’s sorting office, will include a variety of properties from five-bed houses to single apartments, along with a crèche and over 500 car spaces and over 300 bike spaces.
The development has been welcomed by local councillor Martin Grady.
“Killarney has a massive housing shortage so this is very positive. It will retain young families in the area, stimulating economic growth,” he said. “After 17 years of different planning applications it’s finally coming to fruition.”

Residents in the Ballydribeen are living in fear as a result of increased anti-social behaviour in the estate.
Several serious incidents in the estate have resulted in several Garda visits in the last week.
Local councillor Martin Grady told the Killarney Advertiser that residents are “living in fear” as a result of very serious incidents in the last week alone.
One house in the estate was badly damaged when fire crackers were placed inside a letter box.
Another house had its windows smashed in over the weekend.
“It’s a major problem,” added Grady after meeting residents there earlier this week.
One of the most serious incidents occurred on Tuesday night.
A passing motorists had rocks thrown at his car while driving along the bypass whch is adjacent to the estate.
Taking to social media, local primary-school teacher Pádraig O’Sullivan posted:
“Travelling home tonight, at 11.05pm on the Killarney side of the bypass our car was hit by a rock – not a pebble – from the Ballydribben side , which hit the passenger door.
“It was centimetres away from hitting the window where my father, who is visually impaired, was sitting.
“This could have caused catastrophic permanent injury to him.
“The Killarney Garda were on the scene within three minutes.
“They can’t be patrolling the bypass all night.
“It comes down to parenting. You should know where your children are at this hour and be able to teach them what’s funny and what ruin a person’s life or cause a fatal crash.“
