Salon project lets Dublin teens 'chase their dreams'

A social enterprise called Hair Together in Dublin combines hairstyling and barbering training with wellbeing and self-development programs for young people. Founded in 2019 by Eileen McHugh, who overcame addiction through her career in hairdressing, the initiative aims to empower participants with both practical skills and confidence. The organization has expanded with a trading-for-impact salon and recently received the 2026 Dublin Lord Mayor's Award. Ms. McHugh emphasizes providing young people with tools to build resilience and pursue their goals despite challenges they face at home or in their communities.
