With a passionate vocation to mentor and inspire the beauty therapists of the future, just two years after opening her first salon, Susan developed and launched The Cork College of Beauty Therapy.

With a success rate of over 90%, students enjoy rewarding careers throughout the beauty industry with the reputation of the College attracting students from all over Ireland and further afield.

In keeping with her policy of always being at the cutting edge of her profession, Susan and her staff are fully trained in the latest developments in Beauty, including Spa and Laser treatments, bringing real workplace experience as well as technical expertise to their clientele.
Susan and her staff hold highly respected qualifications awarded by the three major beauty industry standards organisations throughout the world - CIDESCO, CIBTAC and ITEC.
Providing a complete service for her clients, Susan has qualified in nutrition, anatomy and physiology, which enables her to advise on exercise and weight control with authority. Respected and admired by fellow professionals, Susan can call upon further expertise through her enviable network of professional contacts throughout the world.
Commissioned regularly by the media, working often with RTÉ Radio & Television and TV3 in Ireland, Susan’s expertise of opinion has been sought abroad too whilst also showcasing her talents in many magazines and newspapers including ‘Hello’.

Continuing to embrace the trends and styles expected of a leading modern salon by an increasingly knowledgeable client base, Susan Ryan is proud to be respected and known as Cork’s number one beauty salon and clinic.
