After nearly 45 years of work, the pair have decided to retire

A Galway city business has confirmed it will close down at the start of October after 35 years.

Elizabeth C Beauty on Abbeygate Street has said that the industry has changed so much over the last four decades that it is time to hand it over to the next generation.

They thanked their customers, some of whom have been with them since day dot, saying that they will never forget how they trusted their care.

They also gave huge appreciation to the people who have worked there across the 35 years, shaping the business into what it ultimately became.

Owners Eilish and Siobhan said: “After 35 years, Elizabeth C Beauty will close the doors for the final time on Saturday October 3rd.

“It has been a privilege to have met and looked after so many wonderful clients over the years. We have shared the big occasions, the sad events, the birthdays, weddings, christenings, retirements, and it has been a joy.

“After 35 years in Elizabeth C, and almost 45 working years each, Eilish and Siobhan have decided to retire and spend more time with their own families.”

They continued: “Our industry has changed hugely over the 35 years and we feel this is the right time to let the next generation take over.

“A sincere thank you to all our wonderful clients who have kept us busy all these years, you trusted us with your care and we appreciate that. We will miss the chats and the laughs we shared and the friendships we built.

“To the most amazing women that we have worked with over the years, we say a huge thank you for your skills, professionalism and dedication to Elizabeth C. We can honestly say we have worked with the best, and we are so proud of the many ladies who have moved on to owning their own businesses, having started their careers with ourselves.”

They concluded: “We will honour all Gift Vouchers so please contact the salon by phone to book in and use up your voucher: 091-566729. Gift vouchers may also be used to purchase skincare.

“Please phone in to make these bookings. After September 14th, we will no longer take bookings by email/Instagram. Thank you for making these 35 years so incredibly special and memorable. We will cherish the memories forever. With all our love and deepest gratitude, Eilish and Siobhan.”
