Another Pizza Oven Update: Some Progress and a Counter

Looking back, the last oven update was almost a year ago. There has actually been some progress and last week, I made it one of the oddly self-imposed benchmarks warranting another update. We last left you with a topping party – the structure had a roof.

Next up was the soffit. Using scrap pies of 2x4s and 2x8s to have so wood framed into the metal. This was a huge pain in the ass and another reason portions of the framing would have been easier. Or maybe if I knew what I was doing I could have planned a little better. Had I known what I was doing, I could have raised everything roof-framing related up a little bit and then just attached wood to the metal framing in large pieces that could have been easily installed. Instead, I had cut pieces to length, use a router to cut a groove that the flange of the steel could fit into and screw in lots of pieces. It took a little while. Curse words were involved and I only recall one tantrum.

Here's a closer view and I'll try to clarify what was done. The closer end of the wood has a routered line in it so sthat the flange of the closer steel stud can fit in and the 2x4 can be flush with the bottom. The far end of the 2x4 is cut to length so it is snug and screwed into the the back steel stud. I don't recommend this method of construction

I found some tongue and groove pine boards at 84 Lumber in Guilderland. The people there are really nice and I think their lumber is a little better than you find in the box stores. I stained a bunch of the wood with a cedar outdoor stain that was light enough to show the grain. I put on two or three coats. With the steel frame, there was nothing to nail the first board so I countersunk a few self tapping screws to the front steel framing. I cut the next piece to length and made sure it fit. Then I laid out the centers for three holes for the lights. The wholes were cut out with I bit I bought that fit the lights. That board went up (I used a borrowed compressor/nail gun and Joe came back to wire up the lights.

Once the lights were in, the rest of the soffit went fairly quickly. Boards were cut length, tapped into the groove of the previous board and nailed into position – nails go through the tongue/groove connection and into the wood I framed into the steel roofing system (if that makes any sense). Ran into a little problem when I got to the front wall because nothing about this project is square, level or plumb, but hoped some trim work would take care of it later. The shorter fascia sides went up very quickly. That was just cut, tap, and nail. I managed to cut a decent transition to go from the short side pieces back to full sized pieces at the back wall. All that is left there is one last piece to cover up the last inch. Nothing other than laziness is why that isn’t done yet. If you aren’t me, you probably wouldn’t have noticed that piece is missing.

I wanted to over up the front before a bird thought that would be a good place to build a nest. The idea was to get a 2x6, use the router to hollow out where the steel framing would go and then put it up. It worked for the most part. To help hide the sins of the builder, I cheated a little. One end of the 2x6 is a little narrower than the other end. It kind of hides some of the not square, level or plumb. So that piece went on and I think it looks pretty good.

Next up was raising the counter in front of the oven. The goal was to make a flat ledge the was 1.25 inches below the oven floor. I used scrap pieces of 2x8 on the sides and a piece of scrap roof plywood in front. To over-engineer it and make it absurdly stronger than it needed to be, I drilled concrete screws into the existing ledge and left the out about an inch to act as a shear stud and connect the two concrete pours. I also put in some leftover wire mesh that I had from making the concrete ring around the oven brick. This was the last concrete pour of the project and it went the best.

The oven door is coming along. I made a template out of wood and a friend who is good with a torch is making the door out of steel in his free time. He's pretty busy and on the road a lot for work but the door is coming out great. I made to panels out of scrap luan board. The smaller one will fit into the oven archway. The larger one will rest flush against the outside of the arch. The two panels will be two inches and will be filled with two layers of the insulation board that is under the oven floor.

Here's what is made out of metal so far. All that is left is to make handles and weld those to the outer panel. Shouldn't be much longer.  I'm told when welding with the insullation already in place, it too over 45 minutes to cook down to where the door could be handled with gloves. Successful test of the insulation.

In the mean time, I have been stacking bricks as a door and messed around with a few residual heat dinners the next day. I have been dialing in making ribs, done a few loaves of leftover dough bread and this beast makes a mean baked potato.

Back in June, I contacted a Kitchen Counters Express in Latham to come take a look and give me their thoughts on the best way to put in a small counter.  After the initial visit, I went to their warehouse/workshop to pick out a piece of scrap that I liked (it’s not a big counter). I looked through all these pieces thinking that I wanted something light because the counter in in direct sun. I had taken temperatures with a IR gun of the concrete that would support the granite and it was in the 120-150 degree range. Kind of like pavement in the sun. I picked a light piece and drove off. I got about 2 miles away before having buyer’s remorse. If I went too light, I thought it would get lost in whatever finish I chose to cover the walls. So I turned around and went back. A very nice lady talked me down. Looked at a picture of the oven and recommended another piece. I went with that.

Unfortunately, my folder got misplaced and lost in the shuffle. I called back after not hearing anything for a bit and made an appointment to take more detailed measurements. The person taking the measurements was the same woman that helped me pick a color. Having seen it firsthand, she thought it would still be good. That was Wednesday. On Friday, the counter was installed.

This counter was the next milestone. I’ve got to tell you, it is hard to take a day that could be spent messing around with different doughs and making pizza to finish the oven. I’m already talking myself into finishing the top have of exterior work and taking on the base next year.

Here’s what’s next:

  1. Finish that little piece of wood in the back.
  2. Build a decorative arch around the opening of the oven.
  3. Make an outer protective door with scrap from the soffit.
  4. Put either stucco or a stone veneer on the top half of the oven. (next milestone)
  5. Make the bottom half look nicer than concrete block. (next, next milestone)
  6. Make pizza as often as possible.

Baby, if you ever wondered..

Keeping up with current events is awful. I feel that it is still necessary to do even though it is painfully soul crushing. Late at night after everyone goes to bed, I find odd comfort in re-watching episodes of the sitcoms I grew up with on TV. For a long time, MeTV aired episodes of Taxi once a week some time around 3 AM. It's amazing how much of that show I remember. And some of the bits still made me laugh even though I knew the joke was coming.

What does a yellow light mean?
Slow down.
Whhhhaaaaaat doooooeeees a yeeellllow liiiiiight meeeaan?

Gets me every time. I'd argue the Louie DePalma is one of the best sitcom characters of all time. The episodes of Taxi were thrown in with some Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart and Get Smart. I'd throw one of those in too once every so often. As much as I loved the old Bob Newhart show when he was psychiatrist in Chicago (the theme some is my cell phone ringtone), the episodes don't seem to hold up that well. And then they suddenly stopped showing Taxi reruns.

But what absolutely thrilled me was when I found they were airing episodes of WKRP in Cincinnati. Some episodes I remember completely. And others I don't really remember at all. They are currently starting the 4th season and I hope the wrap around and start at the beginning in a few weeks. I remember a lot of WKRP too.

WKRP...more rock, and Les Nessman.

I think Mother Carlson might have been the inspiration for Montgomery Burns. She's fantastic. All the characters are fantastic. I actually stayed in Cincinnati once for a conference. The hotel was across the street from the fountain in the credits. I vaguely remember having the theme song on a 45 too (along with the them from The Greatest American Hero). What's weird is that I even remember some of the names for the credits. I'd guess that's from always watching the credits because the music to the closing theme is great and ends up with a cat's meow. I recently discovered a long running joke with the show I had missed. While the music and tune to the closing song are very memorable, I never picked up the lyrics. It was one of those songs that the words had a tune but were just kind of there. I thought the opening line was something like, "Head to the bartender something something up tonight." Never really gave it much thought. Turns out the lyrics were intentionally gibberish. This is my favorite interpretation of the closing song lyrics.

There are more. Another version uses "whack-a-mole" instead of this version's "wackamo." Anyhow, if you get MeTV they are airing WKRP weeknights at 9:30. It's a nice way to wind down the day.

House Beer

I spent Sunday afternoon pretty much neck deep in a pool. Occasionally I’d get out, drink a little beer (stay hydrated, kids) and then get back in the water. For the most part, I don’t drink beer that often. I like beer. Buried in the basement is some homebrew equipment. I made several homemade cases back in the day. Some were good, some ended up being over carbonated and turned into what I would call a “beer flavored spritzer.” Some beers are delicious. Plus, hot weather and beer go together very well. Unfortunately for me, over time I have kind of aged out of beer. Some beers make me very sleepy sometimes followed by a headache and others go straight for the headache. It’s kind of like being hungover from one beer about 3 hours after I drank it. The curling club has Stella on tap – it’s a decent beer (on tap), but a guaranteed headache for me. I spaced Sunday’s beer drinking well enough to avoid any headache. I was a little sleepy around 7, but that might not have been the beer’s fault.

Even though I don’t drink beer regularly, that doesn’t stop me from having some strong opinions. For example, I’m opposed to fruit in beer. if a beer requires a piece of fruit to be added to it to make it drinkable, it’s a crappy beer in my book. Corona and Blue Moon fall in this category for me. And I don’t get the current sour beer trend. I still like to keep at least a six pack around the house in case a guest would enjoy a beer . I needed a beer that:

1. I thought tasted good
2. Doesn’t give me an instant headache
3. Goes well with pizza
4. Is able to be enjoyed by people that are kind of into beer but
5. Not intimidating to someone that just wanted a decent beer – nothing fancy.
After some trial and error, I have settled on what I call my House Beer. My House Beer is Bass Pale Ale. It’s a 12 pack I can get in a supermarket. It’s good enough for people that are into beer to enjoy, and it’s not a flavor bomb so people that mostly buy Bud or Coors enjoy a bottle of it too.

Anyone else crazy enough to overthink the 12 pack in their basement fridge? If so, I’d like to know what it is. The right beer probably will not bump the long reigning House Beer, but the it might expand my extremely limited beer list.

Two Habits that Changed my Career

Helen Tran's framework for keeping communication alive is worth preserving; it is so easy for a project to get off track or lose momentum when the lines of communication breakdown.

You can see a poor feedback loop in action if one person hands off work to another and communication ceases. When you send your work to another person to implement, it’s your responsibility to follow up:

This concept doesn’t apply to just projects shipped but relationships in which one person is dependent on another. If someone asks you to do something, and you do it, get back to them and tell them what happened. If you do this simple thing:

If there’s any career advice I can give anyone, it’s to take notes and close all feedback loops.

Regardless if I'm directly involved or not, there is nothing more irritating than being out of the loop on a project's status. Keeping in touch with everyone on the team is invaluable; it's surprising how much you learn by simply asking someone how things are going.

Like Helen, I also use a modified version of Ryder Carroll's Bullet Journal that helps me keep track of what's going on, the deliverables I'm responsible for, and reminders about anything I need to follow-up on. I might not get to work on every project that goes through the different departments, but I have a better understanding of where each item sits because of it.

Estimated Reading Time: 11 minutes
Main screen of Rudraksh Japa Mala with gold cup beads selected

That morning my cell phone told me that it would rain all day. It didn’t. But in the late afternoon, thunder crashes assured me that the rain was indeed coming. I had a class that night and decided to walk over to Isis before the cloudburst.

I got to class an hour and a half early, with nothing in particular that needed to be done. I decided it would be perfect to do my evening meditation rather than wait until I got home from class, and avoid what sometimes pushes to the uncomfortable edge between meditation and sleep.

The problem was, I use prayer beads for my evening meditation. I had a mala in my purse, but I wanted to do my Brighid prayers that use a specialized set of prayer beads, which were at home. So what’s a 21st century girl to do? Find an app of course.

I visited the Play Store and searched for “mala.” There were certainly plenty of free mala apps (thank Krishna so many developers are in India!). I started reading descriptions and reviews, then downloading and trying them out.

First consideration was to find an app that let me change the number of beads from 108 to any number, because my Brighid prayers are repeated in sets of nineteen, her sacred number. What I didn’t need was an app that taught me a mantra or that sang along with me—those apps are available though for anyone who wants to learn mantra meditation or learn a new mantra. Very handy! But I knew my mantra and just needed something to help me count it.

Japa Mala: The Prayer Beads

Screenshot of Japa Mala: The Prayer Beads

The first app I tried was Japa Mala: The prayer beads by Praveen Krishna R, developed June 29, 2012. It had 54 reviews with an average of 4.4 stars. It had one to five thousand installations. I opened it on my Samsung Galaxy tablet. The screen featured a photo of simple but pretty wooden prayer beads. I was able to easily change the number of beads from 108 to 19. Swiping the screen across the picture of the beads counted the repetitions.

I closed my eyes and started doing my prayers, swiping each time I said the phrase. Then I found the problem with the app. I didn’t know where I was unless I was looking at the screen! When using this app on the phone, when you reach the end of the round, it vibrates to let you know you’ve finished the first round and are ready for the second. But the tablet didn’t vibrate. And the practice I was doing required me to switch to a different mantra, so I needed to know when the set was over.

Of course the simple solution was to switch to my phone, but offering a choice of audio response, vibration response, or both would be a huge benefit to this and the other apps I tried. From what I was reading in the reviews of these different apps, enough people (in India at least) use these apps constantly to count their mantras (apparently they are doing mantras during board meetings instead of playing Candy Crush, think about that!) that they wouldn’t want the noise of an audio notification, but I wanted the flexibility to use my tablet instead of the phone, and that feature would have let me do it.

Rudraksh Japa Mala
I tried the next app, Rudraksh Japa Mala by Electroid Inc., developed July 18, 2014. It had 48 reviews for an average of 4.6 stars and one to five thousand installations. The best feature of this app was that I could pick what type of beads were shown in the illustration, and to count your repetitions, you swiped the beads and they actually moved. It tried to provide a fairly realistic visual experience. You swipe the beads either up or down and you can adjust how fast they move in response to your swipe. A vibration on every swipe lets you know that your mantra was counted even if you’re not watching the screen; this feature can be turned off if it’s too much for you. Alternately, it has an option in the settings screen to use the volume keys on the phone to count. Recorded mantras are included.

Settings screen of Rudraksh Japa Mala

The Mala Settings section allowed me to change the number of beads (looks like this will become only available as a premium feature in future editions), the look of the beads, the direction the beads moved, and the bead speed, among other things. The beads are all rudraksha seeds, sacred to Shiva, as indicated in the app title, but you can select plain, gold-capped, or a single bead.

Under the Sounds and Notification section of the settings, there is an option called Chant Mantra. From here you can select one of six mantras, including Om, Om Gam Ganapathaye, and Om Namah Shivaya. Depending on the mantra selected, one person or a group will chant the mantra with you. There may or may not be music playing as well. The Ganesha mantra, for instance, was the syllables without the tune that is commonly taught. The Om Namah Shivaya recording was sung with a tune and music in the background. You can quickly turn the sound off without revisiting the settings by touching the speaker icon at the bottom of the home screen where the beads are. Using this setting, the mantra repeats when you swipe the beads.

You can instead use the BackGround Music setting and choose a mantra or a tone (like a sitar drone) to play in the background—this is an ongoing repetition of the mantra that does not respond to your swipe. I liked the idea of the drone, but in practice because the tone was only a few seconds and repeated over and over; it felt choppy. Ultimately not useful. Also, if you think maybe you would like it if it didn’t repeat so fast, or would repeat only when you slide the beads, no go. The tones are provided as background music only, not under the Chant Mantra option. The musical note icon at the bottom of the home screen is where I quickly touched to turn off the background music sound.

When you reach the end of the round, there is a long vibration and a tone. The tone can be turned on or off under Sounds and Notification. Unfortunately, it took too long for me to decipher all the settings to realize this when I first looked at it. There is a setting marked “Vibrate on each count” and checking the box toggles between a very clear “Vibration ON” and “Vibration OFF.” Immediately below that it says “On Mala Completion” and the check box toggles between “On” and “Off.”  I assumed it was continued from the previous setting and that they meant “vibrate on mala completion,” but it actually means “tone sounds on mala completion.”

The home screen with the blue om as it appears on my tablet.

The home screen shows how many total repetitions you’ve done in a box across the top of the screen. The mala bead illustration is on the right hand side. On the left it tells you how many beads are on your mala, the Mala Count (how many rounds you’ve done) and below that, the Bead Count (how many beads you’ve completed in the current round). This is helpful if you are trying to do an established number of repetitions of a particular mantra to achieve a particular goal—the count stays there unless you choose to clear it, even if you close down the app and re-open it later. Also, you can save your prayers so you can work on more than one at a time, and it will still keep track of your total repetitions for each prayer. On my tablet, there is also a pretty image of a blue om in a lotus flower below the bead count–this isn’t on my phone, so maybe it’s only for larger screens.

This is a great app full of lots of features! It was a little too much for me to take in when I just wanted to get going with my meditation, and I didn’t have time to play with it and figure it all out. I moved on to the next option.

Puja Bead Counter Updated

Screenshot of Puja Bead Counter

Puja Bead Counter Updated was developed by InnovationMantra on July 4, 2011. It has a 4.5 star average from 55 reviews and over five thousand installations. It is super easy to use! The home screen features an image of what appears to be a wrist mala of rudraksha seeds, although a quick count reveals ten rudrakshas, and a wrist mala should be a ¼ mala, or 27 beads. It certainly has no effect on the usefulness of the app, but something bothered me about the photo, and I finally realized it was because the number of beads didn’t fit my expectation.

The top of the screen has a gold bar that tells you what bead you are on out of the total number—just tap the screen at the total number to open the keyboard and edit how many beads you would like to use. Below that is a black bar that tells you what round you are on and also has a check box to turn on or off the vibration mode (unchecked it vibrates only at the end of the round, not on every swipe). A bead icon at the right clears everything back to the standard settings.

The Puja Bead Counter uses only the top half of the screen of my Samsung Galaxy Light phone, resulting in a lot of wasted space and an inadequately sized swipe area.
The Puja Bead Counter uses only the top half of the screen of my Samsung Galaxy Light phone, resulting in a lot of wasted space and an inadequately sized swipe area.

To count your mantras, you can swipe or tap the image of the wrist mala. There is a vibration for each swipe, and a long vibration when you reach the end of the round. Unfortunately, when the phone is situated in portrait orientation, that area of the screen that can be used for the swipe or tap is only ¾” high on my Samsung Galaxy Light phone. As I got deeper in my mantra, with my eyes closed, my hand tended to drift out of that area. This seems to be a major flaw, because the whole working area of the app takes up only the top half of the phone screen, leaving a large unused area, room that could have been used to increase the swipe area. The simple solution was to rotate the screen to landscape orientation, which didn’t increase the height of the swiping area, but did make it wider and a little more centrally located.

The primary features of this app are that you can either tap or swipe to count, it has an option to vibrate on every swipe, and it’s super easy to use.

The Rudraksh Japa Mala is by far the best of the three apps I test drove. But what I needed in the moment was to download and go, so I ended up choosing the Puja Bead Counter as the simplest. Although I much preferred the image and size of the swipe area on the Japa Mala: The Prayer Beads app, the fact that the Puja Bead app vibrated on each swipe and had a long vibration at the end of the round gave me the level of response I needed from the app. I was able to quickly figure out how to use the app so I could move on to actually doing my prayers. But now that I’ve spent some time playing with the Rudraksh Japa Mala, I think I will switch to it for its host of features.

That said, there is no app that can compare to the feel of the beads in your hands, so nothing will replace my regular mala work. But I like knowing that even if I forget my mala at home, I have a way to count my prayers!

There are a lot of mala apps out there, if you have found one you like, please let me know about it in the comments!

Pacific Northwest Adventure #1 // Lord Hill Park

My first official weekend in Seattle, my friend John invited me up to his neck of the woods for a outdoor adventure with his family through Lord Hill Regional Park. So we booted up and made our way through puddles, frost bitten fallen leaves and mossy forests…taking pictures all along the way. John is a photographer as well, so he gets the whole just-a-minute-I-MUST-take-a-picture-of-this-and-that-and-this thing. And I tend to wander off or lag behind the group. Sorry about it. Sometimes I can’t tell if my friends like that about me or are totally annoyed. Although, I do give them fair warning. It’s just how it goes when you hang with me, and I’ll likely sucker you into posing for a portrait or doing a cheesy self portrait with me. So if you come visit me in Seattle, prepare yourself, cuz that’s how I roll, people!

So needless to say, we had a grand old time, and it was the perfect way to get reacquainted with my mountain-man self. Here are a few of my favorite images from our hike…

SEE, I’m not the only one! ;-) But John is way more badass with, you know, a kid strapped to his back and his medium format camera and his beautiful wife. #outdone

I’m obsessed with the Pacific Northwest. Already. So glad I live here!

I just had to make the whole Vicory gang climb up on the log for a family photo. So glad we did it.

Sam makes me laugh. All. The. Day. Long. He is quite a character. And these next two shots may be some of my favorite image I’ve taken in a long while…

Until my next adventure…go well my friends!

  • Laura Vicory - I love this!! So happy about my new friend Jeff! Must have the family photes you took of us!ReplyCancel

Porsche 911 Targa Reimagined by Singer Tops the Charts

The original Porsche 911 Targa, introduced in 1967, wasn’t the car Porsche necessarily wanted to build, but the one it thought it would have to build. You see, around that time the U.S. government was making noises about outlawing full-fledged convertibles (or at least ones without roll bars), and Porsche’s response was to equip its new open 911 with a structural “basket handle” and a choice of a wraparound glass or folding fabric-and-clear-plastic back window. Not everybody was or is a fan, but we happen to think it’s a cool design. So we’re pleased as punch that Singer Vehicle Design finally got around to reworking one.

As with all the coupes they’ve done, Rob Dickinson and the team at Singer started out with a 964-series 911 (the penultimate air-cooled generation of the archetypal Porsche), stripped it down to the bare shell, and rebuilt it with early-911-inspired bodywork featuring flared fenders, a “ducktail” rear spoiler and more. The basket handle also got backdated with brushed aluminum trim and stylized “targa” lettering. The cockpit also gets all the expected Singer touches, including fully-customized gauges, switchgear, seats, and door panels.

Of course, the really great thing about Porsche 911s Reimagined by Singer is that they go as great as they look, and this Targa is no exception. A Cosworth-rebuilt 3.8L air-cooled flat-six resides in the bum and pumps out about 350 horsepower, which should propel this German resto-mod to velocities that are almost high enough to get out of mobile phone signal range before your accountant can call and ask why in sweet h-e-double-hockey-stick you just dropped well over a quarter-million dollars on a 25-ish-year-old Porsche.

Kieran O'Gorman | Bio
page-template,page-template-full_width,page-template-full_width-php,page,page-id-15323,ajax_fade,page_not_loaded,,qode-theme-ver-7.6.2,wpb-js-composer js-comp-ver-5.6,vc_responsive

In January 2017, Kieran O’Gorman marked 25 years in business since he first opened his salon, Kieran O’Gorman Hair, Beauty & Day Spa. It has been an extraordinary journey for the stylist and businessman, who has changed the face of hair styling in Ireland’s southeast.

Kieran’s career journey commenced when he moved from his native Kilkenny to Dublin at just 16 years-of-age and started his training in one of the country’s largest salons. He completed the traditional four-year training course in just twelve months and was a trained stylist at 17.

For the next four years Kieran gained as much experience as possible in cutting and styling techniques. Then, at just 21 years of age, he returned to his native Kilkenny and opened his own salon in 1996 on Kilkenny’s medieval Butterslip Lane. The salon, originally called H Studio, was a winner from the start and one of the first salons in Ireland to achieve five-star status.

In May 2006, Kieran O’Gorman bought the adjacent building and H Studio was transformed into Kieran O’Gorman Hair Beauty and Day Spa, a one-stop-shop for hair and beauty needs. The salon was a new departure for hair salons in Ireland at the time. The 3,000sq ft haven was designed by Milan-based Salon Ambiance and saw clients travel from Dublin, the southeast and south of the country to the five-star salon located on Kilkenny’s medieval Butterslip. It raised the bar for other hair salon offerings around the country.

In addition to his busy salon work, Kieran has become one of the foremost innovators in his industry, through his extensive seminars and master classes that take him around the world. A year after establishing H Studio, Kieran joined forces with Alberto Culver and undertook seminar work around Ireland and the UK. He quickly progressed to heading up his own cutting seminars, featuring up to 1,000 attendees at a time. In 1999 Kieran was one of only four stylists in Ireland and the UK selected to form the prestigious FAME (Fellowship Academy of Merit & Excellence) team. His work as a team member took him around the UK, Europe and beyond.

Kieran has had top billing at Salon International, the world’s top hairdressing and hairstyling event based in London. A showcase for new skills and trends, the local businessman has showcased his skills in front of 4,000 attendees. Over the years, Kieran has also worked as an international ambassador with leading brands Salon International, Indola and Matrix, undertaking seminars, master classes, show work and new product launches around the world. Kieran is currently the only artistic director, for Ireland and the UK, of organic brand Keune.

Throughout his career, Kieran has been bestowed with a slew of accolades and awards.

He is a former recipient of the top award at the Irish Hairdressing Federation (IHF) Irish Hairdressing Championships. He has already been honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by Matrix (owned by L’Oreal) for his significant contribution to the industry that includes “sharing his talent, creativity and skills to better the industry via seminars, master classes and industry shows”.

2016 saw Kieran win a hat-trick of awards. First up, he was awarded Stylist of the Year 2016 for Ireland at the Irish Hair & Beauty Awards in Dublin. Following this, was bestowed with two accolades at the Kilkenny Business Awards, winning the Employer of the Year and Service Provider of the Year categories. Kieran O’Gorman Hair & Beauty was the only Kilkenny business to receive two awards on the night and the accolades recognised his huge business success and status as a popular employer of more than 20 staff.

Kieran’s work features in both industry and consumer magazines, such as Hair, Creative Head, Irish Tatler, Hairdressers Journal, Hair Flair and Irish Hairdressers Journal. He is one of only two Irish members of the British Fellowship of Hairdressing.

Always innovating, Kieran launched a new offering at his salon two years ago, Wig Specialist. As the name suggests, Wig Specialist offers a confidential and discreet after-hours service to people suffering from hair loss with top quality wigs styled to suit the wearer by Kieran himself.

In January 2017, Kieran marked 25 years in business in January. The two-storey salon has been stylishly refurbished to mark the stylist’s quarter of a century milestone and a celebratory event will take place later in the year for staff, clients and friends.
