hiya all just wanting to have a bit of a moan (sorry )but how gutted am i ? i rent space in a sunbed shop not a room just a table in the front ive been doing really wel, much better than i first thought, but this week some light fingered **** has taken a large box of glitters,powders ,nail stickers, dried flowers,rhinestones, nail jewellery and everything arty i had, also 2 boxes of tips and oddly enough ,a bottle of primer
When i ring my insurance,im not covered for this so am a bit peeved,having recently unloaded the husband i am now single so i dont have a lot of money coming in theres no way im going to be able to afford to replace this for a while so all my extra charges for glitter work etc .are now out the window.
What a complete pain ,still ,got to laugh at myself for being so trusting and stupid(if i dont i'll cry) so ladies and gents please be careful with your things as theres some real thieving horrors out there
xx thanks for reading
 
Your next investment should be a lockable caddy. You should be able to get one used for fairly cheap.
Really sorry about your loss. You just cannot trust anyone anymore. Are you sure that is wasn't someone working at the salon?
What does the owner say about it all?

We have a large wall glass case with glass doors that house all our polishes we use.
And it amazes me that peeps will get in there and take polishes and pocket them..
 
Oh No Joolz that is horrid, have a :hug: from me (not that it will help much!)

I am really sorry for you xxx

Hi Joolz,

sorry to hear about this, it really makes your blood boil doesn't it. I haven't got a lot but I could send you some of my dried flowers if it'll help.
Let me have your addy via pm and I'll sort some out for you.
 
hun i have some glitters, rhinestones, flowers and stickers you can have to help get you back on your feet, pm me letting me know whare to send them
 
Aw mate! This is awful!

Some people eh! I wish I could help you.

It's a great idea to keep everything under lock and key though but you shouldn't have to really!

Big :hug:

aw Hun I'm so sorry to hear about that I can send you some dried flowers and some colored beads what system do you use I might even have a spare primer.
sending you a big :hug:

Aww, how kind is this? Very generous of you Tracy:hug:.

I think it is really appalling that peeps could steal like this. I am very trusting and wouldn't want to think it is somebody who works in the shop, but it sounds suspicious. Surely you are present when with a client, so if not the client, then who?
 
They say we learn by our mistakes, but sometimes we learn by other people's mistakes too. Thank you for reminding us how easy it is for something like this to happen. Hopefully it will make us all more careful in the future.

Sorry I can't help with any replacement stock but I can send you a big :hug:. It's lovely to see so many offers of help - it really is a fab community in this site.
 
oh no hn that is awful ..
if you send me your addy , i might have some bits and bobs too ,
xxx every little helps lol
 
I am so sorry to hear this. :hug:

I'm afraid I dont have anything to offer as I am just starting out myself, however I am overwhelmed by the generosity of the geeks on here who have offered you some supplies!

I hope you get back on your feet again soon x x x
 
im overwhelmed by their generosity too it makes you a bit emotional as well:cry:this is so kind of everyone with their offers of help and your kind thoughts too i really am very touched:hug:
 
This is real naff news and it's great that geeks have offered to help you out. I would love to help but my nail art collection is non exsistent! (I'm not arty!)

You have opened my eyes though so thank you for posting, I will now be sure to lock my other stuff away.

Good Luck and I hope you get back on your feet asap!

it will all be in the post tomarow for you xx:hug:
 
Its sad that this sort of thing happens, especially when someone takes so much stuff.

Is your desk out of view from the other members of staff ?

My nail station is next to the sunbed room and I have to clear everything off the table when im not there as anything could be taken:irked:

When I used to work in the spa testers were always going missing. I remember when Clarins bought out the super restorative range we had only had the tester stand up a few hours and someone had nicked one of the creams which would have cost £60 at retail.
