Bellissimo Limerick, Ireland’s biggest hair salon, opened in Limerick in 1999 and has continued to evolve and grow over the years. It started as one building with a coffee house upstairs and a beauty salon and hair salon downstairs. Now, it has all aspects of beauty, cosmetics, nails, eyebrows. They have a nail studio that accommodates 15 people at any given time. They have private treatment rooms for providing massage treatments and waxing. Bellissimo cover facials, Lazor treatments, micro derma abrasion and much more.

In 2004, Bellissimo expanded and they bought the next-door computer shop and opened the Bellissimo Academy. Since then, the Bellissimo Academy takes in a class of budding students each September for the year to teach them how to style, cut and dye hair. Darragh Curtin, manager of Bellissimo said, “In the Academy, we offer training to students and we offer hairdressing to clients by a student for those looking for a student environment.”
