Eoin Lynch and Deirdre Brennan

THE ‘DUBLINERS’ SERIES is glimpse into the lives of some of the characters living in a city where history and modernity collide on a daily basis. Told through sound and image this series brings the viewer a wide array of people who call Dublin their home.

Perfect Touch a hairdressing salon on the corner of Kevin Street and New Bride Street in Dublin’s city centre. Owned and run by the industrious Corina O’Reilly, Perfect Touch was not only a salon but also a focal point for many people around the community to gather. For anyone who visited Perfect Touch there was always a warm welcome and plenty of banter.

Perfect Touch closed down in October 2013.
