| It was in 1976 that Kay Galligan opened the Portobello Beauty and Sauna Centre at 1 Lennox Street, Dublin 8. The Beauty Salon, which offered a full range of Beauty, Body, Slimming and Electrolysis treatment was a tremendous success. | | | | Kay's daughter Lorraine, newly qualified in Beauty Therapy, joined the company and the following year saw the opening of a new beauty training centre and salon at 109 Grafton Street, Dublin 2. In 1980, Kay's daughter Careena joined the team. | | | | The Galligan Beauty Group worked hard on increasing the standard of training in Ireland and established a nationwide reputation, while consolidating the Galligan credo of individual attention for all their students and clients. |

| The company today continues to educate and expand its knowledge in Beauty Therapy training and Beauty Salon management. Kay, Lorraine and Careena have attained numerous Beauty Therapy qualifications, including the prestigious C.I.D.E.S.C.O. International Diploma, the British C.I.B.T.A.C. and I.T.E.C. Diplomas plus post graduate course including Teaching Diploma, Aromtherapy, Aerobics, Advanced Electrolysis and Make-Up artistry. Little wonder, since 1976, the Galligans should have established a successful College of Beauty and various Beauty Salons throughout Dublin. |
