Hi gang, as you all know I rent a space in the Tanning Shop in the City of London, the little square mile that is the hub of our Economie, well it used to be until Canary Warf opend it's high rises..............
Well a year ago I spotted an empty shop, 2 mins from my Shop, fab layout prefect for nails I thought........ But oh my the rent was so high and there was no way in the world I would cover that without major investment help..........
So this shop has been empty for a year.........law and behold 1 month ago , workmen where busy in there......... So I thought Oh well just what we need , another coffee shop, we only have 30 in our area lol............
But oh no it is a Nail Salon, I was gutted.............My shop, my idea......... then I thought; Oh well lets see what happens.....
Well the doors opened today, and so I had a look..........
Creative stickers on the door, creative on the shelf, so me being me and a CND Technician I thought, I have to go in there and be nosey.....
So in I goes, introducing myself...........What reception did I get lol........ a typical creative one.......big smile, offer of a glass of bubbly and invite to the evening launch party ........
Well the girls are lovely, the shop is to die for, Nickie the part owner is a sweetie......... Ketan trained no less.......
So when I told her I was just round the corner and I too am CND through and through, we just laughed and just chatted about everything you can think of.
Am I worried that they will steal my customers, nope
Am I worried that my business will decrease, nope
We have thousands of people working in our area and I for one think that this will be great for business.....and I can't serve all these people by myself, so there will be plenty to go round for all !!!! Another Nail Salon will raise public awareness even more.......
I don't call Nickie and her shop, aptly name unas, spanish for fingernails, competition as such, I will refere clients to her if I am fully booked and she will do the same for me......So we will all be working towards one goal, that is to give Creative the best name in the square mile and uphold our standards to the highest.........and at least now I know, where I can get a brill set of nails, if I fancy a pampering lol...........and this will keep me on my toes, making sure that I offer the best service I can possibly offer and I know she will do the same........... So the public has to be the winner here!!!
I also gave her all the info about the Geek site and hope she will be joining us soon on here, in the world of geeks..........
So here is to Nickie and her new shop and venture......Godd luck !!!!!
Just a thought, not every new kid on the block has to be a threat, it can be good for all concerned.....Just just have to figure out how to get along together............ and we just might have done that lol !!!!!!
