Low down on the lockdown and other changes

 Welcome back to the Timeless Beauty Blog, where do I start!.....  As most of you may have noticed, I am no longer at Hairkandi.  This was a very difficult decision to make but one that unfortunately was necessary in this current climate.  Don't worry I am back mobile and will continue to offer my full treatment menu in the comfort of your own homes.  I am well aware that this may not suit everyone but just wanted to reassure you of the Covid measures I have in place.  I will always arrive in my medical grade mask and visor, my hands will be sanitized before I leave the car and hand sanitizer is provided for you too.  I will ask you to wear a mask as well, it might seem strange wearing a mask in your own home but we will need to stick to these rules, and I will also have a QR code for you to use with the NHS track and trace app.  Again that seems funny to check into your own home but the rules on this are very strict and if not adhered to could cost me a hefty fine!  All of my equipment will be wiped down after every client as normal.  So it's back to lugging my nail kit in and out of the car for me, if you have had an appointment with me before you'll remember how big it is! Oh well.....I was starting to get bingo wings anyway 😂

Lockdown

So just as I was all geared up to start mobile we are told to close for four weeks, just what we need in the run up to Christmas!  However we are all in the same boat in one way or another and just have to make the best of it.  I will be closed from Thursday 5th November to 2nd December, I am still taking bookings for December so it might be a good idea to get your Christmas appointments in!  I don't know about you, but I'm sick of talking about coronavirus, so let me tell you what I CAN do over lockdown and what's to come in December!

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!
