Another good year for the Roses.

August is here and the salon is buzzing with excitement about the Rose of Tralee festival taking place in the Kingdom this week. For our eighth consecutive year the Bellissimo artistic team makes its way to Tralee to look after this year’s Roses. But this year should prove special, 2009 sees the Festival celebrating its 50th anniversary, inviting all past Rose winners to rejoin their unique group in the dome. For the artistic team this means plenty to organise for the television nights, catering for hair and make-up for a record 32 Roses per night and the past winners, the team are planning for double the work and double the craic!

The artistic team will be creating the hair and make up for the beautiful roses, so think pageant beauty with a creative twist! The team are also being joined by five students from our academy who won a competition presenting upstyle models, securing their places and their first opportunity to do hairstyling work for television. Staff from both the Limerick and Galway salon will be joining forces in what will be the biggest migration to the festival in our history! Ray, Helen and Caroline have been putting their heads together using their combined upstyle and make up experience and we can’t wait to tune in and see what they have in store for us.
