The Communications Manager for Rose of Tralee International Festival, John Drummey, said: “Sean Taaffe came on board as our Official Hair Partner in 2016 and since then millions of TV viewers have seen the skill and expertise of his team has brought to the event. We are delighted with the partnership and the fact that Sean Taaffe is a Kerry-based company fills us with immense pride. Sean and his team bring a more creative edge to the Roses’ hair each year, which is not surprising for one of the recognised leaders in the industry in Ireland.”
A leading stylist with 30 years’ hairdressing experience, Sean Taaffe said: “We are proud to be involved in the staging of the Rose of Tralee International Festival. Over the past four years, we have gained an insight to the time, effort and attention to detail that combine to make the Rose of Tralee such a beacon for Tralee and the county as a whole on a global stage. I believe that more businesses need to get involved with the Festival. We have built great relationships with the organisers and we are looking forward to continuing our journey with the Festival as it celebrates 60 years in 2019.”
Sean Taaffe is the owner of salons in Tralee, Killarney and Killorglin, with a team of 65 talented hairdressing professionals.
