There’s a famous quote about war that says: ‘War brings out the worst and the best in people. Wars do not make men great, but they do bring out the greatness in good men.’ Certainly, this can be said of the owners of Carbon hair salon in Cork city center who have gone above and beyond to help in their own way.

It started when Daria Borshch, a Ukrainian hairdresser who recently arrived in Ireland after fleeing the war, applied for a job at the South Mall salon.
