Shannon, who attends Sliabh a’ Mhadra NS in the north Kerry village, went to Tralee native Danny Russell’s Changes Hair and Beauty Salon in Listowel on Friday afternoon and after chopping off the long lock of hair, he decided to give her a new hairdo which she loves.
Shannon’s parents William and Sheila are immensely proud of her, with good reason. It was such a thoughtful thing to do, so well done Shannon.
