Award winning Chic Beauty Salon celebrating 30 years in business in Longford town

Chic Beauty Salon, 30 years in business this December, is hosting a week of celebration to mark this very special occasion.

Margaret McEntee, proprietor of Chic Beauty Salon, opened a beauty salon at 34 Dublin Street, Longford, on December 12, in 1993, the same day as her Mother Chris’s birthday. Margaret accomplished this while raising five children, all under the age of ten.

Margaret started out as a general and psychiatric nurse, after completing her studies in The Richmond. She then worked in St Loman’s Hospital, Mullingar for eleven years.

Margaret always had a great passion for beauty and with this passion in the back of her mind for years, she decided to take the leap and do a beauty course.

Margaret opened her first beauty salon in Granard, Co Longford, where she built up a great clientele, over six years.

The opportunity then arose to move to Longford town. At the time, there was only one other beauty salon in Longford.

Starting out with a small salon with only three treatment rooms, Chic Beauty Salon has now expanded to having seven luxurious treatment rooms, which cater for beauty treatments such as facials, tanning, waxing, lashes, brows and nail care. In recent years, Margaret expanded her business to open a Laser Clinic called “Laserworks Clinic”, offering laser hair removal and skin treatments.

For the past 30 years, Chic Beauty Salon has been constantly upgrading and progressing with the latest beauty training and technology. This has aided in Chic Beauty Salon winning numerous “Salon of The Year” awards.

Margaret is very grateful for the loyalty of customers for the past 30 years, “The kindness, generosity and loyalty of our customers over the years has been immense and we are really grateful to every single customer who has made the past 30 years so enjoyable.

“We have built up a male and female clientele with some of our customers starting from the age of 8 years old right up to our oldest customer who is 95. Some of our customers have been with us throughout our 30 years in business. We wish to offer a special tribute to our beloved customers who have departed in the last 30 years; their memory will always be with us.

“Although many of our customers live their own busy lives, each and every customer brings unique positivity and vibrant energy to the salon. It’s the people that we meet every day that make our job rewarding.”
