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.

There’s hardly a Killarney home he hasn’t been to – but now DJ O’Driscoll has stood down from his duties.

Friday night marked delivery driver DJ’s retirement from the Killarney branch of Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets, a position he has held for the last 15 years.

On Friday night, colleagues from all three Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets stores gathered in the Killarney Height’s Hotel. DJ was also joined by his daughter and her partner for the special night.

“After almost 15 years of steadfast work with Corcoran’s, DJ has been a constant pillar of support for his colleagues and has helped the company go from strength to strength,” owner Kieran Corcoran said.

“Corcoran’s would like to wish DJ the very best of luck for the future and hoping that he enjoys his retirement. Many thanks to Killarney Height’s Hotel for hosting the staff night on Friday. A great night was had by all!”

Members of Flesk Valley Rowing Club had a strenuous but successful morning on Sunday when they collectively rowed the distance from Malin Head to Mizen Head.

And it was all done indoors on rowing machines in support of the Killarney Order of Malta.

Just before 11am the Valley armada ‘left shore’, and approximately 40 members aged from 12 to 50ish set to their task with enthusiasm. By midday someone reckoned that Barack Obama’s Plaza had been reached but unfortunately there was no stop for tea, just a splash of holy water, a mouthful of Lucozade and a few jelly babies for the lucky ones!

As the kilometres clicked slowly by the temperature started to rise and the cry went up from the gasping veterans to open all the doors!

No such problems for the junior relay crews who had a fantastic morning rowing, laughing, and racing each other all the way to the finish.

The junior members who took on the half-marathon distance individually were amazing throughout and got stronger as the finish line came into view.

“We’re delighted with how the morning went,” Tadhg Kelly from Flesk Valley said.

“There was a great atmosphere in the venue, and we are grateful to all the parents and Flesk Valley supporters who came along to encourage our young and not-so-young rowers. It was great too to see the members of the Order of Malta in attendance to offer their support, and the club would like to thank everyone who donated on the day.”

Tadhg also expressed his thanks to the underage coaches and committee members for looking after everyone during the event. He especially wanted to mention everyone at Celtic Steps and the Killarney Racecourse for facilitating the club and Workmens Rowing Club and Glenflesk GAA for the use of their equipment.
