Kao Professional Hair has announced a change to its representation in Ireland, following Trinity Salon Partners’ decision to conclude its current business operations.
From October 1st 2026, Kao Professional Hair will take direct responsibility for its business across Ireland, with Ciaran McMahon joining Kao Professional Hair to lead the territory and continue supporting existing and new salon partners across the country.
Ciaran brings extensive experience and established relationships within the Irish professional hair industry, having worked closely with Kao’s brands, including Goldwell, and salon partners through his role at Trinity.
Ciaran will become the key point of contact for Kao Professional Hair customers in Ireland and will work alongside the wider Kao team to ensure continuity of service, support and business development.
Christel Grootentraast, General Manager of Kao Professional Hair, UK/Ireland and Benelux said Ireland is an important market for Kao Professional Hair and Goldwell: “We remain deeply committed to Ciaran and salons across Ireland, supporting our current and future salon partners.
“We look forward to building on the strong relationships already established in Ireland. We would also like to sincerely thank Terry and the established Trinity team for their valued partnership and contribution over the years.”
