In April, the annual Irish Beauty Professional’s Association (IBPA) Awards took place in Dublin and ESPA at The Europe Hotel, Killarney walked away with the Best New Spa award.
IPBA was originally founded as the S.A.C in 1977 in Ireland. The association ensures that the highest professional standards are maintained and are constantly monitoring education and standards within the industry.
