Thanks debbie,
I started off renting in the local sunbed shop (warm to say the least) but gained alot of clients.. I then moved to the hairdressers where I am at the moment..
I really enjoy what I do and I think I offer tooooooo much nailart, but thats what makes me different from all the other salons in my town.
I love to use ONS L+P which is also different from all the other salons..
I wish you all the best for the future - Love what you do.

Well I did start a rumour that I was booked up for 3 weeks in advance (only 2 really) CHEEKY MONKEY.... then all my regulars started booking 6-8 rebalances in advance !!!
Then the odd walk ins happened (as they do) then it all went MAD..
I always get excited wether i do a fullset or rebalance.. My clients think I am mad cos I just love love love nailart.. I have recently bought coloured acrylic to make tiny 3D holy and mistletoe for xmas..
