✨ Nearly 6 months already... ✨
It’s hard to believe that we’re almost celebrating 6 months since opening our doors!
Looking back at these photos, it’s amazing to see just how far we’ve come. What started as an empty unit has been transformed into the salon you know today, and every part of it has a story.
Joe worked tirelessly to build the unit from the ground up, and as many of you know, building sunbeds is his day job, so every single sunbed was built by him with care and pride. Seeing his vision come to life has been incredible.
We couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of our friends and family. Big shout out to Elliott, Dave, Adam, James and Jonathan who gave up their time and skills to help with the building and joinery. We’re so grateful for everything they did.
A huge thank you also goes to Lisa, Joe’s stepmum, who has been our biggest supporter from day one. After working full-time all week, she spent her evenings painting the entire unit and now still gives up her Saturdays to work with us. We honestly couldn’t have done it without her. Not forgetting the king of clean Keith (Joe’s Dad) who keeps the shop dazzling ✨.
Building this business has been a real team effort, and we’re so proud of what we’ve created together.
Most importantly, thank you to every single one of our customers. Whether you’ve visited once, come back regularly, recommended us to friends, liked our posts or simply supported us from afar, you’ve helped make our dream a reality.
Here’s to the first (almost) 6 months... and many more to come. ❤️ We can’t wait to continue this journey with you all.
Thank you for believing in us.
