My First Blog!

 Welcome to the Timeless Beauty blog!  My plan is for this to be a monthly catch up/informative newsletter for all my lovely clients and clients to be.  Writing is a little out of my comfort zone, but never mind, we all have to push ourselves to try something different sometimes, so here goes....

First of all I would like to say a massive thank you to all my clients who have faithfully stuck with me through this crazy year! There I was back in February lugging my massive nail trolley in and out of your homes, when along came Covid and stopped everything in it's tracks.  During lockdown we all faced different challenges (I am definitely not a teacher!) and one of mine was how was I going to proceed with my beauty business?  Offering a mobile service seemed inappropriate for the current situation, considering we were not allowed in other people's homes.  I have been in the beauty industry 21 years and never have we faced something like this.  Just when I was about to call it a day, Stacey from Hairkandi calls me saying the beauty room in her hair salon has become free, do I want to take it?!  I'll be honest... she had to talk me into it, but I'm so glad she did!

So not only can I go back to creating nails, I have the space and set up to offer more treatments than I could have done when mobile.  It's always nice to have a bit of variety in your day, and nice to be putting my other skills to use too!  Most of you know I used to work in a Spa, so being able to put those skills to the test has been very satisfying.  I've got lots of ideas for new treatments, but I'll save that for another post! 

Also my beauty room is BEAUTIFUL, pretty pink shabby chic, I love it!  

Obviously working conditions are a little different and certainly take some getting used to.  I'm wearing a medical grade mask and a visor at all times. The mask is fine but the visor I found tricky at first, I keep catching it on my shoulder every time I turn, I feel like a dog who's had an operation and has to wear one of those big collars! 😂. I've also had a mishap involving a latex glove and my electric file, but that's another story!

October Special Offer

Every now and then I will put together an offer, this month is for acrylic nails.  All the products I use in the salon are of the highest quality, especially my acrylic products.  Taking the time and care over the acrylic nails I create is very important to me, I book out 2 hours for a full set.  It might not take me the whole time but I like to know I have the time there if I need it.  Acrylic nails need to be maintained as they grow out, this can range from every two weeks to every four weeks, depending on the rate of your own nail growth and other factors such as your occupation.  If your working with horses for example it's better to keep on top of your maintenance appointments to avoid any accidents as the nails become more grown out.  Alternatively if you just want acrylics on temporarily that's absolutely fine, just book in for me to remove them professionally to avoid damaging the nail.      


So I think I've come to the end of my first blog, I hope I done alright and your all still reading!  Please do leave me feedback, or get in touch for an appointment. If you would like me to talk about anything specific in the future drop me a message and I'll do my best.

See you soon,
