Our story began with Oonagh Mcelhatton, a hair styling enthusiast who discovered her passion at a young age. Inspired by her love for the art of hair styling, Oonagh pursued her dream with dedication, earning an intensive hair and salon management degree in Europe. She honed her skills working in renowned salons in Ireland, gaining valuable experience and expertise.

Driven by her entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional service, Oonagh decided to bring her vision to life and open Rua Hair Salon in Tuckahoe, NY. This charming suburban town quickly became her home, where she proudly raised her family. Today, Rua Hair Salon stands as a testament to Oonagh's passion, talent, and dedication to her craft.
