Wow, what happened to the hair?
I ran the image through the default setting of Noiseware Community Edition and it came out looking a little better than that.
Look at the skin tones Switch. There's crazy chroma noise in there. Plenty of Luma noise too. >.<
For kicks, I put the image through Topaz DeNoise, to show that yes, removing this level of noise is within the realm of possibility. You'll note the pretty nasty blurring in the hair. Using a full-res TIFF (at least) would reduce this issue. This is also a pretty poor example; there was quite noticeable JPEG artifacting when I edited blue and red separately.

Of course, the best option is to shoot at the lowest ISO possible in daylight.
As people have given what to do, let me ask one question. Why would you shoot at 1600 in daylight?
Heh. Just one more reason to never use auto. It picked 1600? With that much light? Yeesh. Dumb machines.
