A Little Bit About Me & How SkyBeauty Was Born

Hi, I'm Rachel, the owner of SkyBeauty & Laser Cork!

Beauty has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. It started with insisting on doing my own hair for ballet at the age of five — determined to perfect the ballet bun — and progressed to doing my poor Nana Neasa's makeup every chance I got. She was far too obliging and would leave the house looking somewhat like an Oompa Loompa. It was never really a question of whether I'd end up in this industry, just a matter of when.

I started training in 2018 and from there I just kept going, building up my skills across lashes, brows, SPMU, tanning, and eventually laser hair removal. I always had it in the back of my mind that I'd love to have my own salon someday, but I didn't think it would happen quite so soon.

Like a lot of people my age, Australia was the plan for a while. But when that didn't happen, I found myself scrolling through Daft one day and spotted a salon available in Bishopstown — the area I grew up in. I took it as a sign. I have photos of myself as a teenager hanging around outside that very building, and now at 27, I'm the owner of SkyBeauty & Laser Cork. It's something I'm incredibly proud of and I genuinely love what I do every single day.

Where Did the Name Come From?

For those wondering where SkyBeauty came from — if you're local to Bishopstown, there's a good chance you already know! My beautiful husky Skylar is a bit of a local celebrity around the area. She's always out and about with my dad, so many of you will have already crossed paths with her. She is my whole world, and the name SkyBeauty is inspired by her. 🐾

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Precision Follicle Targeting

Eneka Pro’s advanced diode technology delivers controlled energy directly to the hair follicle, disrupting growth at the root while integrated cooling protects the skin — ensuring safe, precise and effective long-term hair reduction.

Treating Hair in the Active Growth Phase

Laser hair removal is most effective when hair is in the active growth (anagen) phase, when the follicle contains the most pigment. The Eneka Pro’s advanced diode technology precisely targets these active follicles during each session. Because hairs grow in different cycles, not all follicles can be treated at once — hence why a course of 6 sessions is recommended to effectively target all hairs for progressive, even and long-lasting reduction.

Why Results Are Long-Lasting

The Eneka Pro diode laser delivers controlled energy deep into the hair follicle, disrupting its ability to regrow hair over time. With each treatment, fewer follicles remain active and regrowth becomes finer and slower. After a full course, most clients experience long-term hair reduction with only occasional maintenance needed.

Safe For Different Skin Types

The Eneka Pro diode laser uses a wavelength specifically designed to target hair pigment while protecting surrounding skin, making it suitable for a wide range of skin tones. Its advanced cooling and adjustable energy settings allow treatments to be tailored safely and effectively to each client’s skin and hair type.

FAQS

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. The Eneka Pro diode laser progressively disables hair follicles with each session, meaning regrowth becomes finer and slower. After a full course, most clients experience long-lasting smooth skin with only occasional maintenance needed.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments are required to target all follicles during their active growth phase. A course of 6 sessions is typically recommended for optimal, even and long-lasting reduction.

Is Eneka Pro Laser Safe?

Yes. The Eneka Pro diode laser uses a specialised wavelength and advanced cooling to protect the surrounding skin while effectively targeting the hair follicle. Treatments are customised to your skin and hair type to ensure safe, comfortable results.

Does It Hurt?

Most clients describe Eneka Pro treatments as comfortable with only mild warmth or tingling. The integrated cooling system helps keep the skin protected and reduces discomfort during treatment.

Can All Skin Types Be Treated?

The Eneka Pro diode laser is suitable for a wide range of skin tones and hair types. During your consultation, we assess your skin and hair to ensure safe and effective treatment settings.

How Should I Prepare For The Treatment?

Shave the area 12–24 hours before your appointment. Avoid waxing or plucking for at least 4 weeks and minimise sun exposure before treatment. Full preparation guidance will be provided at consultation.

Are Results Immediate?

Treated hairs shed gradually over 1–3 weeks after each session. With each treatment, regrowth becomes finer and slower until long-term reduction is achieved.

Why Choose SkyBeauty & Laser?

We use the world-leading Eneka Pro diode laser and tailor every treatment to your skin and hair type in a private, professional clinic setting. Treatments are performed by a CIDESCO & ITEC Level 4 qualified laser therapist with specialised training and qualification in laser hair removal and anatomy & physiology, ensuring safe, effective long-term results.
