Leigh Anne Driscol
I started working in Cathriona’s in 2013 in the Castlegregory salon where I have learned everything I know from blowdrying to upstyling and colouring. Completing my Alfa Parf Colour course I realised how much there was to colouring and I love it. I have got such great opportunities working at Cathriona’s and have met so many lovely people since I started. I have worked on TV sets, the Rose of Tralee as well as weddings. I love meeting our fabulous clients and I really love going to work everyday.
