Finally spring is in the air and we hope you’re enjoying the brighter days .
Spring is the time for rebirth and planting seeds to grow which is what we’re doing here at Oxygen 😊
As we step into April, Oxygen celebrates 18 years of creativity, connection, and growth.
And yet… this moment feels like a rebirth, a new beginning.
Over the past year, we’ve been quietly evolving, reflecting, refining, and reimagining what Oxygen truly is. Not just as a salon, but as a space for transformation, wellbeing, and lifestyle.
At the end of 2025, we made a conscious decision to step away from an identity that had served us beautifully for many years. With gratitude, we let go, creating space for something more aligned, more expansive, and more true to who we are becoming.
This transition didn’t happen overnight.
For me, Oxygen has always been deeply personal, an extension of my own journey.
In 2016, I was forced to step away from hairdressing due to injury. Something I loved, something that was part of my identity… suddenly gone. It was a moment that brought deep uncertainty, but also opened a new path.
What began as a search for healing became something much greater.
I was drawn into the world of natural therapies and ancient wisdom, exploring Chinese medicine, Qigong, Ayurveda, meditation, and cranial sacral therapy. What started as recovery became transformation.
Then in 2017, life brought another profound challenge, losing my mum and my brother within just five weeks of each other.
It was through these practices, these teachings, and this deeper inner work that I found strength, healing, and a new way of living.
And from that… Oxygen began to evolve.
Because as I grew, the business needed to grow with me.
What once existed as Oxygen Hair Design has now become
Oxygen Hair & Wellness
where beauty and wellbeing are no longer separate, but deeply connected.
And alongside this, we introduce
Oxygen Lifestyle · Adventure & Wellness,
This next chapter brings together everything we believe in. A space for retreats, travel, adventure movement, connection, and living more intentionally.
This is where we blend wellness, nature, movement, travel, and meaningful experiences designed to help you reconnect to yourself, and to what truly matters.
Because Oxygen has always been about more than hair.
It’s about how you feel.
It’s about how you live.
It’s about creating space to breathe to feel good from the inside out, and to live in alignment.
As part of this new chapter, we are so excited to introduce a deeply special addition to our space…
Our Japanese Head Spa, opened this March.
This is more than a treatment space,
It’s a sanctuary.
A space intentionally created from
the heart and soul for women to return to themselves, to give back to themselves.
To rest, to receive, and to reconnect.
The space was created for the female who gives so much of themselves to everyone else, a space where you can come to feel deeply nourished, to give back to yourself and feel truly cared for. This is your time for you and no one else 🤍
Through the power of nurturing scalp rituals and nervous system regulation, this experience is grounded in ancient wisdom from Ayurveda, Qigong, and Chinese medicine supporting both inner balance and outer beauty.
It holds the essence of everything Oxygen is becoming.
As we move through 2026, this journey will continue to unfold through our salon, our wellness experiences, our retreats, and our travel adventures both in Ireland and Internationally Tanzania, Zanzibar & Bali.
There is still so much to create and share…
But we are doing it slowly, intentionally, and in alignment.
No rushing.
No forcing.
Just trusting what is unfolding.
Thank you for being part of our journey past, present, and future.
Your support truly means everything.
This is only the beginning.
Stay inspired. Receive updates on new treatments, retreats, and lifestyle tips.
