MASK HAIR DUBLIN<br />
After 30 years in the hair and make-up industry, Valerie Patterson decided<br />
that it was time for a new challenge – launching a new salon in partnership<br />
with her brother, Ray. Her vision was to create a one-stop shop where style<br />
meets relaxation. “I love to do the ‘overall look’ – cutting, colour, Great Lengths<br />
hair extensions and make-up, all in a relaxed atmosphere,” says Valerie. She<br />
found the perfect space on Grafton Street, Dublin, overlooking College Green.<br />
“It has big windows and high ceilings but very little wall space so I had to be<br />
inventive,” she says. The siblings worked together for two months to fi nish the<br />
decorating themselves. “I did the wall painting – there are astrology signs and<br />
freehand designs,” Valerie says. There are also plenty of fl owers and greenery<br />
to bring a little bit of the outdoors inside, and Valerie’s favourite section of the<br />
salon is the tiled back wall. “I’ve always loved metal ceiling tiles so I ordered<br />
them online from Florida and cut and fi tted them myself.” And you can’t forget<br />
the show-stopping centrepiece – the huge, sparkling mask that gives the<br />
salon its name. “I found the mask in Spain and had it shipped over. Then we<br />
put LED lights and mosaic tiles behind it. I love an art project!”<br />
