Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor launches new Dolgellau Salon
Guests were treated to a L'Oréal showcase of the trending colour for 2025 at the salon’s official opening, as well as free hair consultations, goody bags and a tour of the state-of-the-art facility
Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor’s new hair and beauty salon in Dolgellau was officially opened last week, featuring a L'Oréal showcase of ‘Mocha Mousse’, the big colour trend for 2025.
The event also included a presentation from Vikki Millar, L'Oréal Colleges professional lead, on the partnership between the college and the world-famous beauty brand.
Guests were given a tour of the state-of-the-art salon and were able to have a free consultation, as well as being treated to goodie bags including products, selfie ring lights and vouchers for hair and beauty treatments.
The salon was officially opened by Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor and Coleg Menai principal Dr Siôn Peters-Flynn.
Following a welcome from the principal, Vikki Millar spoke about how the college’s partnership with L'Oréal helps learners hone their skills and grow their careers.
Then came a presentation from Emma Holmes, L'Oréal education consultant, who works closely with staff and students at the college.
With the help of models styled by hair and beauty learners, Emma showcased the trending Mocha Mousse colour and how to implement it in modern styles using L'Oréal products. The models were wearing clothes from Dolgellau boutique CoCo, who sponsored the event.
Following the presentations, guests were able to ask questions, tour the salon and have their consultations. They also enjoyed canapés made in college by hospitality students, including profiteroles in a variety of flavours such 'banana and biscoff' and 'chocolate orange'.
Eifion Owen, Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor’s service industries manager, said: “We are all extremely pleased with the success of the hair and beauty salon launch in collaboration with L'Oreal.
“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.”
