Naura Hair and Beauty Salon: Where Family, Talent and Community Come Together

Naura Hair and Beauty Salon: Where Family, Talent and Community Come Together

In an industry driven by trends and social media moments, authenticity still wins.

That’s exactly what clients find when they walk through the doors of Naura Hair and Beauty Salon, a proudly family-run business co-owned by mother and son duo Jenny Whelan & Aron Whelan. 

Built on passion, talent, and a shared commitment to excellence, Naura has become a trusted destination in Wicklow for hair and beauty services, with a reputation that continues to grow.

With a combined 40 years of experience and multiple industry awards earned over just five years in business, Jenny and Aron have created something special – not just a salon, but a space where expertise meets warmth.

A Family Vision Turned Award-Winning Reality

For Jenny, hairdressing isn’t just a career – it’s a lifelong vocation. Celebrating 30 years in the industry this February, she specialises in colour and has trained countless professionals over the decades. Her technical knowledge, particularly in colour correction and bespoke tones, has earned her hundreds of clients trust.

“Hair is personal,” Jenny says. “When someone trusts you with their colour, they’re trusting you with their confidence. That’s something I never take lightly.”

Aron brings his own creative edge to the salon as a nail technician, makeup artist and qualified nail educator, with 10 years of experience under his belt. His eye for detail and love of glam have helped shape one of Naura’s most booked offerings — their exclusive 45-minute Soft Glam Hair & Makeup Package in collaboration with their styling specialist Tara.

“We wanted clients to feel like celebrities,” Aron explains. “With our private glam squad experience, you get your own dedicated team transforming your look.”

A Full-Service Salon with Master-Level Expertise

Naura Hair and Beauty Salon offers a complete range of services, including:

• All hair services, including cutting, colouring and styling
• Makeup artistry
• Nail services
• Pedicures
• Brow treatments
• Accredited nail training courses
• Hair apprenticeships through the National Hairdressing Apprenticeship

What sets Naura apart is its structure. While it is a small team, each member is a master of their craft. When you book a service, you are paired with the specialist best suited to deliver it.

Efficiency Meets Luxury

In today’s busy world, time is precious. Naura’s combo services are designed with this in mind. Clients can maximise their appointments by booking multiple treatments in one visit.

For example, while your colour or highlights are developing you can have your nails or pedicure completed, turning what might feel like waiting time into productive pampering time.

It’s this thoughtful approach that has helped Naura build a loyal client base. Every detail is designed around comfort, efficiency, and results.

An Educating Salon Shaping the Future

Naura isn’t just about delivering services – it’s about building the next generation of professionals. As an educating salon, they provide hair apprenticeships through the National Hairdressing Apprenticeship programme and in-house accredited AIT courses.

Their apprentices work alongside senior professionals, learning in a real-world, high-standard environment. This commitment to education ensures the salon remains innovative while contributing positively to the wider industry.

“We don’t just want to succeed ourselves. We want to lift others up with us.”

A Salon Rooted in Community

Beyond the salon chairs, Naura is deeply committed to community impact. They work with Cali Care, providing a safe and supportive space for young adults with disabilities to gain work experience, develop real-life skills and build confidence.

They have crafted a LGBTQIA+ Safe space for everyone to enjoy and express themself authentically.

They also proudly sponsor local women’s sports team jerseys – championing empowerment both inside and outside the salon. This blend of professional excellence and community engagement is central to their identity.

Clients aren’t just supporting a business; they’re supporting a network of growth, opportunity, and local pride.

Looking Ahead

Naura Hair and Beauty Salon shows no signs of slowing down. Continued education, expanding training programmes and further community partnerships are all part of the vision.

Their guiding philosophy remains simple:

Leave feeling as good as you look.

In an industry often defined by scale and speed, Naura proves that a smaller, family-run salon can deliver world-class results all while creating a warm, welcoming environment where every client feels like part of the family.

For those seeking expert services, a personalised glam experience, and a salon that genuinely cares about its clients and its community, Naura Hair and Beauty Salon stands in a league of its own.
