SEAN Taaffe, the owner of Sean Taaffe Hair and Beauty Group who have a salon on Castle Street, has helped Ireland to a World Cup ‘bronze’.
Sean – along with his colleagues from Team Ireland – took third place overall in the OMC World Cup in Hairdressing in Frankfurt last weekend. This prestigious international placing, is the second major accolade for the successful Kerry based hair and beauty group in recent months, with their Style Director, Marta Plechowska, scooping the 2014 IHF Irish Hairdresser of the Year in March.
“Winning at the World Championships in Germany was the culmination of many months of careful preparation and sheer determination to bring back a medal to Ireland – and to Kerry!” said Sean.
The Sean Taaffe Group has salons in Killorglin and Killarney and Tralee and currently employs 42 people across its seven businesses.
The OMC World Cup in Hairdressing took place in Frankfurt, Germany from May 3-5. Over 1,300 competitors competed in 38 tests with 50 countries in the event. There were 13 Irish competitors from all over the country and they competed in six tests, with excellent placements in all categories.
