New hair and beauty salon opens in Dolgellau in Gwynedd
On the salon's launch day last week, guests were treated to a showcase of L'Oréal's 2025 trending hair colour 'Mocha Mousse'.
This was combined with a knowledge-packed presentation.
This presentation was given by L'Oréal Colleges' professional lead, Vikki Millar.

Lucky visitors were also offered a tour of the facility, as well as free consultations and goody bags packed full of prizes, including selfie ring lights, beauty products, and treatment vouchers.
Dr. Siôn Peters-Flynn, the principal of Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor and Coleg Menai, officially opened the new addition.

This was done with assistance from their hair and beauty learners who modelled their work with clothes sponsored by Dolgellau boutique CoCo.
In between tours and consultations, guests were treated to canapés made by the college's hospitality students.

"We are all extremely pleased with the success of the hair and beauty salon launch in collaboration with L'Oréal," said Eifion Owen, Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor's service industries manager.
"The facility has been refurbished to match the style and flexibility of one of the top salons in Manchester which learners visited before COVID.
"We're very grateful to L'Oréal for our ongoing collaboration which allows our learners to develop their skills to the highest standards, and to CoCo clothing Dolgellau who kindly sponsored our event.
"Overall, the launch was a very successful and professional experience for all our learners and guests."
