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. 💅✨

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.

This week I’m talking about something that is basically my natural way of living — The Let Them Theory — and why I think it’s the ultimate cure for this full moon funk a lot of us are feeling right now.

You know those moments where people do or say something and you just feel yourself getting wound up? The Let Them Theory is all about stepping back and saying… let them. Let them think what they want. Let them act how they act. Let them miss out.

And with the full moon energy turning emotions up to 100, this is the perfect time to learn how to protect your peace and keep your vibe high.

Inside this episode I’m sharing:
✨ What the Let Them Theory is and why it works
✨ Why the full moon might be making you feel extra sensitive, stuck, or reflective
✨ How to use this energy to release old stuff that’s weighing you down
✨ My favourite real-life examples of “letting them” in action

So, gorgeous girlies — grab a cuppa, plug me in, and let’s get you feeling lighter, calmer, and totally unbothered 💫

In today’s episode, I’m spilling the tea on why influencer marketing flops for so many beauty business owners — and how to actually make it work.

You can’t just chuck a free treatment at someone with a big following and expect the bookings to roll in. If you don’t know your audience inside out, you’ll waste time, money, and effort on collabs that do nothing for your bottom line.

I’m breaking down:

• What influencer marketing actually is (and what it’s not)
• Why visibility doesn’t always equal sales
• The biggest influencer mistakes I see salon owners make
• How to choose influencers who actually influence your audience
• Why you’re probably better off being your own influencer 💅

This one is a must-listen if you’re tempted to collab with influencers but don’t want to waste your time.

Grab your notepad, gorgeous girlie — this one’s a reality check (but make it empowering 💥).
