The idea for the event "Looking Good, Feeling Great" originated from consultations between the Dún Laoghaire VEC Community Education Service and representatives from a range of community groups.
As well as the free treatments, this event provided a wonderful opportunity for the students in the Beauty Department to talk with older people and exchange ideas and views on trends, treatments and methods available to enhance well-being throughout life. An enjoyable day was had by all with treatments ranging from facials, manicures, massage, to nail painting.
The pampering didn't end there as all participants received a goody bag with lotions and potions to continue the pampering at home.
This event provided a great opportunity for second year students to get some practical experience with clients in a salon environment. These students will complete their studies in May 2012 with industry standard qualifications in CIDESCO, ITEC and CIBTAC.
In addition to courses in the Beauty area, Senior College Dun Laoghaire offers an extensive range of courses in Business, IT, and Design.
