Tel:Kilkenny: 056 7772548 / Carlow: 059 9720793Denise O’Neill opened Rustiq Hair Salon in Kilkenny three and a half years ago after she returned from Australia where she managed four hair studios there. Denise has seven staff in the salon and is constantly busy. More recently she opened a second salon in Leighlinbridge, which employs four people. This salon has a big beauty room run by Susan Condon in addition to hair and tanning services they also use Dermalogica products in their facials, which suit all skin types and are renowned for their rejuvenating properties.
Rustiq uses Alfa Par Milano and Bedhead hair products as well as a Nexxus organic range. Denise did a great blow-dry for me. And as a fellow curly haired person she totally understood how to manage my hair. Next time I visit her I am going to get a Nutri-Selection deep conditioning treatment which conditions and re-moisturises hair. This is an ideal treatment for brides to be before their wedding day. Denise recommends one every two to three weeks in the run up to your big day. Rustiq also specializes in up-styles for brides and has a range of American Dreams clip on hair extensions which match all hair colours and give that extra fullness to wedding styles. Denise told me that trends vary for bridal hair and that right now long styles with soft curls are in as well as old Hollywood up-styles.
Rustiq has great wedding packages for brides and also has 20% off colour services mid-week.
There is also a tanning room and beauty services. The spray tan they use called Liquid Sun is totally organic and gives a very natural long lasting tan. Ilona Kachniarz from Poland is the make-up artist and she uses Tigi make-up to perfect her looks. I loved the eyeshadows she used on me. Ilona also does nails. If brides prefer to have their hair and make-up done in their own home on their wedding day Denise and her team are happy to travel to them.
