Nail salon/tech recs?

2 Upvotes

Looking for some nail tech recommendations in Sligo town. I have naturally long, strong nails so I'd just like Shellac but with designs/decorations. I currently get Shellac every 2-3 weeks in Westend Beauty but it's just basic single colour as they don't do designs. Any recommendations would be great thanks x

Salon for tween with long thick hair

4 Upvotes

My daughter's long thick straight hair needs a good couple of inches taking off.

She likes to keep it as long as possible and avoids hair cuts, so ideally I want the experience to feel like a treat.

We've had a couple of bad experiences with recent cuts - one was different lengths at the front, one had an awful ragged line that I had to correct myself. I dont think the cut is complicated, and I'd even watch You Tube and tackle it myself ... but I'm sure there is a difference between it being done "ok" and being done professionally.

We're not looking for a kids cut, and expecting to pay for a proper cut and blow dry.
Can anyone recommend a salon + stylist who enjoys cutting long hair and can do it really well?

Thanks for any help!!

Looking for Local Organic Milk & Honey in Sligo! 🥛🍯

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m on the lookout for fresh, high-quality, farmer-sourced staples around County Sligo. Specifically, I am trying to source:

Organic cow's milk (preferably unpasteurised/raw or minimally processed straight from a pasture-fed farm)

Local raw honey (straight from the beekeeper/farm hives)

If you are a local producer or know the best spots to stock up, please drop your recommendations in chat.

Anything open on a Sunday?

6 Upvotes

My partner and I have to wait in Sligo for an hour and a half today (until 1pm) and I was thinking "it's fine we'll just get breakfast or lunch while we wait since we haven't eaten"
It seems like nothing at all is open...
There's only a couple super fancy restaurants, or no veggie options that aren't sad salads (we are both vegetarian)

There were two really nice options (shells seaside cafe and cottage cafe) and I was relieved after half an hour of searching on Google, but they're not in Sligo city, they're actually too far out for us to reach them on time 😭

I searched if there's at least market stalls today but apparently the market is only on Saturday.

Is Sligo a completely dead town on a Sunday or is the Internet not showing all the options? I'm quite surprised to be honest.

Pleaseeee does anyone have recommendations of anywhere that does good veggie options or a cafe that does baked warm goods at the very least? We'll be starving otherwise hahah

Willyhead driving, rallying and beeping late at night

As above there is an insert insult here who keeps driving by my cottage late at night beeping and spinning the wheels outside my bedroom window. I live rurally. Any tips on how to deal with this bar waiting with a brick to be thrown? Doubt Gardai would be interested in sure there's other nuisances and highly doubt a stakeout is on the cards. Poor kittens terrified and hiding under the bath.

Rowing club open day

15 Upvotes

Anyone ever want to try rowing in Sligo there is an open day this Saturday. It's fun to try something different and personally I really enjoy it as a team sport. The club is well run and the members are sound. You don't have to row competitively there is a recreational group too, so participation is flexible there too 😁
