We know full well how challenging it is to visit a new salon armed with fervent hope they will make a good job of it. It is an intensely personal experience. Similarly, entrusting the well being of your body and it's appearance to another person, a beautician or therapist may cause equal feelings of discomfort.

One of the greatest ways to dispel such qualms is through personal recommendation - which is why we have a testimonials page. We want you to know - if not directly from personal word of mouth but through the impartial words of others - that we can be trusted to give a professional, courteous, friendly and, above all, satisfying service.

In their own words ...

'' I've never been a fan of spray tans especially after having a nightmare experience a few years ago where I ended up looking like a tangerine, but for my 21st birthday I decided I would risk it seeing as I was going to be wearing a white dress and I have typical Irish white skin, seeing as Pink was newly opened I decided to book a spray tan with them, the girl was so friendly and made me feel at ease and really took an interest in my party. I explained to her how I've had bad tanning experiences before and she reassured me this time would be different. After the tan had dried I nervously looked in the mirror and I honestly was both surprised and delighted, the tan looked stunning! No streaks or patches and the colour was natural. It's amazing how a well done tan can make you feel so much better about yourself. Even when I showered before my party the tan looked so natural. I can honestly say that I will never go anywhere else for a spray tan but Pink. ''

'' Even though Pink Dundrum is not my local salon, I choose to go there before anywhere else for the simple reason that the warm welcome, friendly and helpful staff and the well priced and extensive range of products and treatments are the best on offer. I love the attention and care that I get from all the therapists. They keep me very informed of all the special offers that are available in the salon, so I always feel that I am getting value for my money! I would like to thank all the staff and Anita for running, in my opinion, the best beauty salon in Dublin!! ''
