UPDATE ON ALL REFUNDS

Me again, my booking system is causing me yet more headaches and throwing up a load of error messages every time I try and submit anyone’s repayment request. If support can’t finalise a fix by this evening I will have to do each individual payment manually by checking each persons affected appointments and deposit paid then find their PayPal info and send it back. Sorry it’s taken way longer than expected but I promise I am on it.

A little update from me 🖤

You might have noticed over the past few months that my posts haven’t been as regular (or as ridiculous) as usual.

There’s been a lot going on in my personal life behind the scenes, and I’ve been doing my best to keep showing up and keep my little business running as normally as possible.

Unfortunately, over the last couple of weeks things have become a lot more serious, and I’ve had to cancel a number of appointments at very short notice because of family emergencies.

I absolutely hate cancelling on people. I know some of you booked months in advance around weddings, holidays, births and other important things, and I genuinely hate feeling like I’ve let you down. But recently there have been situations where I’ve had no choice but to drop everything and be where I’m needed.

I’ve tried my best to rearrange everyone, but right now there is simply too much going on for me to keep going backwards and forwards through messages finding new appointments. I know there are messages I still haven’t replied to and I’m really sorry — I’m not ignoring anyone, I just don’t have the capacity at the moment.

For anyone whose appointment I’ve had to cancel and haven’t yet managed to rearrange, I’ll be cancelling it fully and refunding your deposit.

If you choose to book back in with me, I’d genuinely love to see you. 🖤 And if you decide to go elsewhere, I completely understand too.

I’m keeping the details private because they aren’t mine alone to share, but please know I wouldn’t let something affect a business I’ve worked so hard to build unless it was genuinely serious and unavoidable.

Thank you for being patient with me and for all the kindness you’ve shown me. It means more than you know. 🖤

A little update from me 🖤

If I’ve been quieter than usual, disappeared from social media, taken a long time to reply or cancelled your appointment at short notice, I’m genuinely sorry.

For the past few weeks, my sister and I have been dealing with an ongoing and increasingly serious family emergency. There have been several occasions where we’ve had to drop everything with little or no warning.

It has affected almost every part of my life. Trying to support my family while processing everything myself has been incredibly difficult, and at times I’ve had nothing left to give. I’ve tried to keep showing up professionally, but some days that simply hasn’t been possible. When something this serious happens to the people you love, real life doesn’t stop at the door when you arrive at work.

I hate cancelling clients. I know appointments are arranged around work, childcare, holidays, weddings and busy lives, often weeks or months in advance. I also don’t get paid when I’m not working, so every cancellation has a real financial impact on me and the business I’ve worked so hard to build. I would never choose to put myself or my clients in this position unless I genuinely had no other option.

I know there are still unanswered messages and clients I haven’t managed to rearrange. I’m not purposely ignoring anyone. So many appointments have been affected, and because I don’t know when I may suddenly be needed again, continually rearranging everyone has become impossible to manage.

For anyone whose appointment I’ve cancelled and haven’t yet rearranged, I’ll now be cancelling it fully and returning your deposit. This removes the pressure of waiting for me to find another space when I can’t confidently say when that will be.

If you choose to book back in with me, I would genuinely love to see you. If you need to book elsewhere for certainty, I completely understand. There are no hard feelings.

I won’t be sharing the details publicly. This involves people I love, and it isn’t solely my story or information to share. All I can say is that it is serious, ongoing and something neither my sister nor I could have anticipated or avoided.

Thank you to everyone who has been patient, waited for a reply, rearranged without complaint, sent a kind message or simply asked if I’m okay. 🖤

I’m still here and still working when I can, while trying to support my family and look after myself enough to keep going.

For now, I’m taking things one day at a time and accepting that sometimes the people we love have to come before everything else.

Thank you for giving me the understanding and space to do that. 🖤

🖤 GET TO KNOW YOUR NAIL TECH 🖤

It’s been a while since I posted, so here’s a little refresher on the chaos demon responsible for doing your nails 😂💅🏻

Firstly, sorry I’ve been a little quiet on here lately. As many of you know, there’s been a LOT going on, and my little brain isn’t always the best at dealing with life, never mind remembering I’m supposed to keep up with social media too 😂🫠

So for anyone new here… hi 👋🏻 I’m Christy — nail artist, chronic oversharer, ADHD chaos queen, goth girl and professional supplier of questionable conversations 😂🖤

And speaking of goth girl heaven… SPOOKY SEASON IS HERE. 🎃👻🕸️

As far as I’m concerned, spooky season started the SECOND we hit the “ber” months. September = Halloween. I don’t make the rules. 😂 🎃

I’ve got limited availability left this month, so if you’ve been waiting for an excuse to bring me your weirdest, creepiest, most unhinged nail inspo…

COME AT ME WITH YOUR NIGHTMARE NAILS. 🩸🔪🖤

The darker, weirder and more ridiculous, the better.

Normal nails are welcome too… I suppose. 🙄😂💅🏻

I swear this booking system has more issues than I do… and that’s saying something. August open September pending until tomorrow evening 🤦🏻‍♀️

For info …… again 🤦🏻‍♀️😬

For info ❗️❗️❗️

I know I am rubbish but thought one of you guys would have questioned it before now 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyway I will have it open tomorrow, sorry about that 😬😬😬
