As the regeneration of Smithfield Square continues, with the Law Library complex on one side and the trainee solicitors toiling in Blackhall Place on the other, one particular outlet stands out. Gabriel Professional hair salon is a sleek and modern chop shop with competitive prices and generous lunchtime discounts.
They are currently offering a 30 per cent discount on lunchtime blow-drys. Normally priced at between €20 and €25, the discount means you can get an overhaul for €17-€19, depending on the length of your hair. The discount is available between noon and 3pm, Monday to Friday. Unit 1 Kingscourt, 48-59 North King Street, Smithfield, Dublin 7. Book on 01-87482 90. www.gabrielprofessional.com.
