As a large amount of the population in Ireland would know, supporting local businesses is crucial during this unexpected global pandemic.
Business owners have been hit very hard with the financial pressure that has come along with this pandemic, on top of facing nationwide lockdowns. The economy has dropped to the bottom of the spectrum and it’s up to us to support it when we can.
A full directory of online businesses to support are available through the wonderful Click for Clare initiative on The Clare Echo’s website. I am going to mention some local businesses that deserve recognition. Situated in Ballycasey Craft and Design centre in Shannon, Co.Clare.
Lavender Beauty and Hair art are situated in the second courtyard in the craft centre. They offer a wide range of beauty treatments and all under the same roof. From waxing, facials and makeup applications, to getting your favourite curly blow dry, fresh hair colour or even a trim. Containing professional beauty therapists and hairdressers, they ensure that you feel satisfied and confident before you leave. These businesses specialise in taking care of all your beauty needs for weddings, communions, confirmations, large gatherings, you name it. Book your appointment to avoid disappointment.
