Professional Letterkenny Hairdressers

It all started when…

Pello Hairdressers Letterkenny was established by Patrick Gray and his wife Tina in 2007 with a vision to offer the best hairdressing experience to their salon guests in a spacious welcoming environment using only naturally derived products.

Since opening the door in October of that year the salon has gone from strength to strength. ‘Our guests have always been fantastically supportive of us and for that, we are enormously grateful’.  We are Donegal’s premier and only exclusive Aveda salon. We are delighted to celebrate our 10th year in Pello by opening our new premises in Killylastin, Letterkenny.  

‘Our guests have always been fantastically supportive of us & for that, we are enormously grateful’.

In the summer of 2017, we were delighted to celebrate our 10th year in Pello by opening our new premises in Letterkenny.

As an Aveda-exclusive salon, client care is at the core of our mission and we offer all our guests uniquely Ayurvedic Experiences intertwined with our own belief in creativity, bespoke colouring, passion, and attention to detail.  We will always do our utmost through our knowledge of hairdressing, our professionalism, and our training to ensure that every visit is an experience that is consistently good.

Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy has always been that each guest that comes through our doors leaves feeling pampered, revitalised, and beautiful. Feeling not only good about themselves & their hair but also their environment. With our expert Letterkenny hairdressers, stylists, and colour technicians you will receive a complimentary comprehensive consultation where you will be advised on current trends to create a look that caters to you & your lifestyle.  We take a holistic approach to hairdressing with Rituals & products that harness pure plant flower and plant essence to ensure you look & feel beautiful. 

As a talented and incredibly passionate young hairdresser, it didn't take him long to build up a solid clientele.  He then moved to Letterkenny in 1986 and opened ‘Patrick Gray Hairdressing’.  Despite building a successful and thriving business Patrick was eager to broaden his knowledge and decided in 1998 that it was time to further advance his artistic skills.

Over the next number of years, he worked in London and New York with some amazingly talented people in two of the world’s leading cities of fashion before finally settling in the fashionable town of Marbella in the south of Spain.  Fast forward to 2007 and Patrick decided it was time to return to his beloved Donegal. 

When Pello was established in October of that year Patrick had no doubt that he wanted to adopt a holistic approach to hairdressing and in doing so introduced a totally new concept to hairdressing in Letterkenny.  Patrick has always considered himself truly fortunate to not only get the opportunity to do something he loves every day but to have had the opportunity with the support of his loyal clientele to develop his creativity and artistic skills. 

Amongst other achievements down throughout the year, Patrick was honoured to work alongside the best as part of the global Aveda team for London Fashion Week for 2 years in a row in 2018, and 2019.

He loves hairdressing.  It's his life!  Simple as that.
