Today I’m clearing up the “gel polish is banned” headlines. Spoiler: it isn’t — the EU has banned one ingredient (TPO) in cosmetics from 1 Sept 2025, and brands are already reformulating. In the UK, a similar move is expected in due course (industry guidance currently points to around 2027), so we’ll transition sensibly — no drama needed. I’m sharing simple client talking points, salon policies, and easy content ideas so you can educate confidently and keep our industry strong. 💅✨

This week’s episode is a cosy little catch up with me. August has officially been my busiest month yet in the salon, and I wanted to sit down and share how it’s been, what I’ve learned, and how I balance it all with planning social media and content.

Inside the episode I chat about:
✨ Salon life in August – the highs, the chaos, and the wins
✨ Why this has been such a busy month for me
✨ My approach to planning content + socials when life is full-on
✨ A little heart-to-heart on balancing everything as a business owner

If you’re in the beauty industry and trying to juggle it all, this one’s for you. Grab a coffee, pop your headphones in, and have a catch up with me 💖

Do You Really Need More?

At the start of this year, I was ready to walk away from the beauty industry.
I told myself once my salon lease was up, that was it—I wanted a bigger house, a nicer car, more money, and I didn’t believe beauty could give me that.

But here’s the truth… I was chasing something I didn’t actually need. Social media has a funny way of making us feel like we’re not successful unless we’re constantly “scaling” or jumping on the coaching bandwagon. And at one point, I even questioned if I could keep teaching others to grow their beauty businesses when deep down I felt like leaving mine.

This episode is a real and raw chat about:
✨ Why I almost left the beauty industry
✨ How comparison and social media pressure can steal your joy
✨ The moment I re-found my passion for beauty
✨ Why chasing more isn’t always the answer
✨ And how success is whatever you decide it looks like

If you’ve been feeling like you’re “not enough” or that you need to constantly be chasing more, this one is going to feel like a big breath of fresh air.
