Exposé the award winning Hair and Beauty salon coming soon to Firies
Exciting times are afoot in Firies as Exposé Hair and Beauty prepare to open another branch of their multi award winning salon
Opening on September 3. Exposé Firies will offer a full service Hair Salon using prestigious L’Oréal Paris Hair products. Colours, cuts and up-styles will all be available.
“I began my hairdressing career in Firies 12 years ago,” manager Elaine Groves said. “Since then I have developed my skill and knowledge of hair colouring techniques, cutting and restyling, occasion styling and gentlemen's cuts. I have trained and styled with Ireland's best known hairdressing brand and one of Europe's most successful hairstyling groups. I’m excited to return to my local village where it all began."
Exposé Firies will also have a full service Beauty Salon, offering everything from facials, to tinting, waxing and nails.
Beauty Therapist Aisling Foran has 10 years’ experience in the industry and enjoys working with the top brands Exposé offers including Yon-Ka Paris, Waxperts, Gelish and Shellac.
Exposé Tralee and Kilflynn is renowned for high quality treatments in luxury surrounds. Each salon is interior-designed to the highest of standards.
This is being replicated in Firies, a luxury salon with high quality treatments synonymous with the Exposé Brand.
The studio in Tralee opened its doors in 2008 right by the Mounthawk Roundabout on the Fenit Road. It was instantly popular due to the high standard of hair services along with the salon’s easy accessibility and free parking.
In time, it became apparent that there was a high demand to offer beauty services under the one roof and in 2014, Exposé Beauty Lounge was born, incorporating beauty on the ground floor and a Day Spa facility on the first floor
Exposé Beauty Lounge and Hair Studio has since become a favourite destination for hair and beauty due to its professional and excellent service. It’s beauty therapists and hair stylists are highly trained and experienced professionals who all share the goal of looking after their clients in the best way possible. With all of these luxurious treatments on offer, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that Team Exposé has won a plethora of awards.
In May 2017, Exposé Hair and Beauty Salon Kilflynn was opened, offering the highest standards in hair and beauty services to the locality.
As the Exposé Team prepare to open their third salon, Manager Elaine is looking forward to meeting clients both old and new in their new salon
“I look forward to welcoming many of my clients to my local village. I am excited to build relationships with new clients in our new salon, Exposé Firies,” she added. “We are excited to announce that local TV Stylist and Model Agent Orla Diffley will be Brand Ambassador for Expose Firies and will be keeping our clients updated on everything Hair and Beauty.

KWD Recycling shortlisted for national environmental awards
Killarney-based KWD Recycling has been announced as a finalist in the 2026 Repak Resource Awards, securing a spot on the national shortlist for environmental achievement.
The local waste management company has been nominated in the Best Recovery Operator Innovation category, sponsored by DNV, for its state-of-the-art residual waste recovery system.
The Killarney facility utilizes optical sorting, screening, and mechanical processing to extract recyclable plastics and organic material from municipal waste. In its first year of operation, the technology recovered more than 10 per cent of plastic packaging from residual waste for recycling and diverted almost 50 per cent of organic material toward composting.
KWD Recycling will compete alongside Dublin operators Panda and Thorntons Recycling for the category title.
Repak CEO Zoe Kavanagh commended the Kerry firm for demonstrating environmental leadership and bringing local ambition to the national awards.
Category winners will be announced at a black-tie ceremony at the Mansion House in Dublin on Friday, October 23, where each winner will also compete for the Overall Repak Resource Award.
Local businesses have a strong track record at the national event, with Killarney town venue The Killarney Park and The Ross previously taking home the overall title in 2023.
Drivers warned as deer rutting season begins
Motorists in Killarney are being urged to exercise extreme caution as the annual deer rutting season gets underway, causing animals to stray far beyond their usual habitats inside Killarney National Park.
The autumn mating season sees deer becoming highly active and unpredictable, leading to increased sightings and collisions on local roads outside traditional park boundaries.
Two separate incidents highlighted the growing hazard on local routes this week. A reader contacted the Killarney Advertiser to warn drivers after spotting a deer roaming near Tiernaboul towards the school on Sunday afternoon around 7.30pm.
Later that same night, in the early hours of Monday morning, a local driver collided with a deer near Kerry Airport around 1am while returning home from an event.
Despite attempting evasive action, the motorist struck the animal, which died at the scene and temporarily blocked the road before local Gardaí were alerted to clear the obstruction.
The driver sustained substantial vehicle damage, requiring repairs to the bumper, headlamp, and internal components, leaving her facing significant garage costs and time off the road.
Gardaí and road safety advocates advise motorists travelLing during early morning and late evening and remain vigilant along tree-lined routes.
