โ๏ธ Reopening โ๏ธ Following on from todayโs announcement, beauty salons are being reviewed on the 9th July as to when we are able to open! I have heard that home salons may not be able to open till considerably later but will wait for confirmation. Itโs been a long 13 weeks without seeing all my clients and I miss you all dearly. I am rather impatiently waiting for the green light to open and as soon as I have it I shall be taking bookings and welcoming you all back through my door! ๐ where there will be a slightly new look and some new treatments available!! Hope your all staying safe and fingers crossed I get to see you all soon ๐ #reopening #pleasebesoon #beautyinwales #lashes #nails #facials #massage #waxing #spatreatments #llanfaircaereinion

These eyes are one of the kindest pair of eyes you could ever look into. They belong to a beautiful, lady who would not only wear an infectious smile, but would share it with you. She would make you laugh your head off within seconds of walking in the room. A genuine and amazing woman! And one of the best nail techs Iโve met ๐ I found out that that these eyes shut for the last time this morning and she has gained her angel wings. @ltidiman you were not just a client but a lovely friend, I will miss our road trips to nail shop openings and the endless encouragement on buying more nail supplies that I really donโt need ๐ but mostly I will miss our catch ups. Sleep tight lovely ๐

So today I completed and passed The Beauty Guild COVID-19 Infection Prevention and Control course. I already undertake a strict regime with sterilising and cleaning in my beauty room anyway but these will obviously be heightened due to COVID-19. As I have stated there are a few changes going on behind the scenes including the toilet finally being fitted and finished ๐๐ผ I am also having an additional sink fitted in my main working area, and also have an Air, Fume and Dust extraction unit on order. This will do exactly what it say and not only extract but it filters the air and returns clean air into the room ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ I am working on creating a safe and even cleaner environment for our return. #safertreatments #preventativemaintenance #newwaysofworking #covid19 #healthandwellness #beautyinwales #llanfaircaereinion

So when I am finally back open what will be your first treatment.... Lash Extensions, Lash Lift, nail extensions, gel polish, facial, dermaplaning facial, massage, pedicure, manicure, aromatherapy, waxing, brows? #beautytreatments #lockdown #cantwaittoopen #llanfaircaereinion

So with tonightโs announcement, Iโm still closed for the foreseeable! As much as this absolutely saddens me, I cannot maintain the social distancing rule. I spend up to 2 hours in constant contact with clients so have no doubt that as an industry, beauty will be one of the last to open. But when I can I will have some exciting things to share with you. I cannot wait to see you all and catch up with you all but Iโm the mean time, what ever your doing, staying home, working, key worker please stay safe!! #getthroughthistogether #stayhome #staysafe

Over the last few weeks I have been asked about the above and been told I should consider them to bring in some business at this time. These are all things I have looked at but unfortunately to run raffles you need to have a gambling licence or follow strict guidelines: Raffles must be run on your BUSINESS PREMISES The prize must be no more the ยฃ50 Must not be sold to under 16โs Tickets must have full information including name, address and contact of the buyer, ticket price restrictions and more. This means asking people to pay for tickets over social media is actually against the law ๐ along with offering high value products or lash services free for a year. All relevant information can be found at Www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk Customising press on nails and strip lashes is also a no go for me as this comes under the manufacture of your own products, something I am not insured to do. Now whilst this is no different to nail and lash sets you can purchase from high street retailers, they have all the legislation, MSDS sheets and legalities in place that should you have to put in an insurance claim they are covered. Should I produce these items and for instance a fan comes unstuck from the strip lash, scratches your eye and causes damage and you try to sue me, unfortunately I would not covered with my insurance and potentially you would not be able to claim. ๐ข I would love to be earning money right now and creating beautiful lashes/nails but there are plenty of ranges from online/high street retailers that can meet your needs and at a fraction of the cost that I would need to charge. All I can currently offer is gift vouchers to be used when I am back open and taking physical appointments that will have extended expiration dates! Please buy products wisely and do your research. Stay safe in every aspect. #beauty #lockdown #buyreputable #takenorisks #staysafe

You have to see the positive in every situation. Having some unplanned time off means I have a bit of free time (in amongst home schooling 6 little ones ๐) so I have just booked a couple of online training course which means when my door reopens Iโll have new treatments available!! Whatโs the saying, the come back is always bigger then the setback ๐ช๐ป I may even get my toilet finished ๐ฝ #newtreatments #bebackstronger #beauty #planningahead #beautyinllanfaircaereinion #llanfaircaereinion

๐ฆ Following on from todayโs latest update ๐ฆ The direct.gov website have issued that spas also need to close, now I am not a spa as I am a โhome-based salonโ which leaves me in a grey area. The National Hair & Beauty Federation have issued a statement that hair and beauty salons do not fall under this category and we can continue to operate, my insurance company have also issued a statement that I am still covered to operate, both with the statement that I must follow โbest practiseโ. Best practice is to ensure additional measures of health and safety with extra cleaning, washing of hands etc AND remaining 6ft or 2 meters away from clients. Now I can fully comply with the additional measures, however due to the nature of my treatments I cannot remain 2 meters away from you, all my treatments involve touching you. With that in mind and the fact I have 6 children home to avoid further potential spread of this virus I have had to make the extremely hard decision to close Mayโd Beautiful until further notice ๐ข This has not been an easy decision and I have been conflicted and upset majority of the evening trying to decide but as I say I cannot follow best practice 100%. I shall be keeping an eye on the ever changing decisions and will update you all with reopening ASAP at infilled prices for all, but for now all appointments are cancelled and I hope you can all understand. Hope you all stay safe and well โค๏ธ

๐ Key Workers ๐ This is an absolutely tough time for everyone right now, being in a household that is supported by 2 non essential self employed businessโ is certainly a testing time. In amongst doing paperwork, still getting ready for a VAT return and financial year end I have seen that shop workers are getting abuse, NHS workers cannot get the shopping they need due to the panic buying and are in tears. Children cannot finish their final years at schools, no exams/proms. The world really is a crazy place right now! Once all these crazy situations are over and the world is back to normality I would like to offer ANY key worker, regardless of it you are a regular client of mine or not) a complimentary treatment of your choice. This can be anything from a relaxing massage or facial to a set of lashes or even a brow wax. This is my way of saying thank you for being there when this crazy country has needed you! All I ask is that you bring some form of ID that confirms your job. Work pass etc. Please feel free to share this with your friends as it might reach someone that could do with a little pick me up. *patch test may be required with some treatments. #helpeachother #bekind #keyworkersrock #beautytherapist #pamper #llanfaircaereinion

With the recent announcement on school closures I am limiting my appointments to evenings only. If you have a daytime booking I will currently honour it as I donโt have many pre booked, if you would like to change it because of the closures then please just let me know. I am still working as I have previously stated until I am forced to close. Should this happen, when appointments can be back up and running they will all be at infill price, I shall not be charging for full sets! If anyone that needs to work in the day that is struggling with childcare due to grandparents isolating etc please let me know and if I can help I will be more then happy too.

๐ฆ Following on from todayโs update from the government regarding Covid-19 Virus ๐ฆ I shall be continuing to work as normal and will accept my clients providing they are not showing any symptoms listed on the NHS page that relates to the corona virus. If you are unsure please message prior to your appointment. I am taking extra precaution with disinfection and sterilisation including my door handle in between clients and I have also limited my daily appointments to restrict the amount of clients I come into contact with, and I have spaced them out so a deep clean can be carried out in between. I want to maintain a friendly welcome so am currently not sporting extra precaution in the way of disposable gloves/masks/apron, unless it is for a treatment that these are needed such as waxing/Dermaplaning but please feel free to let me know if you would prefer me to take these precautions, I will not be offended in the slightest. I shall continue like this until further notice. If however you would like to rearrange any appointments please let me know, alternatively if you havenโt booked yet and you would like too my diary is still open. I wish you all safe and well Donna ๐

I always disinfect my tools and work stations and Barbicide has been my number one choice for over 15 years of being in the industry. With all the extra focus on hygiene at the moment I want you all to be aware that I have sat and passed a Barbicide course that shows I have full understanding of sanitation and disinfection practices. #barbicide #sanitation #disinfection #hygeine #clientsafetyfirst

Dermaplaning facial. Skin care is so important especially with these torrential weather conditions โ๏ธ๐๐จ our face is the main part of our skin that gets most affected as it is constantly exposed to it. I always ask at a facial what skin care routine you have and it always surprises me that not many clients have a set regular routine. A cleanse, tone and moisturise is vital for keeping our skin in tip top health. Products suitable for your skin and understanding how they work with your skin is something I can help you all with. I also retail Eve Taylor skin care products with a complete kit costing just ยฃ21.49 with includes the above and a refining eye gel to help with any dark circles, fine lines. Swipe left to see all the velus hair and dead skin build up that I removed from this client. I love just how glowing her skin looks after. Not only does her skin look glowing but now any skin are products she applies will penetrate up to 60% deeper and will work from them lower skin levels and work their way up to the top. And after 24hrs when she applies her make up it will go on so much smoother!! โค๏ธ Regular facials help not only with the outer layer of skin but with collagen improvement, reduction of fine lines too. Have you got yours booked in yet?? #dermaplaning #facial #skincare #productsarekey #glowingskin #loveyourskin #llanfaircaereinion

โIโve been really good and not put no mascara onโ not what my spookiest say! ๐ค๐ค At the binning of your lash appoints me ya you will notice that Iโm not lashing straight away, this is because I am prepping your lashes ready to start lashing. Including giving your lashes a cleanse and prime. And any traces of make up that is left on your lashes comes off on the lipstick Wands for me to see ๐ The ingredients of mascara and gel eyeliner leave a barrier on your lashes and can be difficult even for me to get off in a short time for infills, the more time I spend cleaning the less I can lash. Make up seriously affects your retention, resist the urge of putting mascara on and ask to bring your appointment forward instead. Even better, if you know you have events coming up, get your appointments booked in, in advance so that your lashes are nice and fresh!! #aftercare #lashextensions #freshlashes #bookyourinfills #classiclashes #russianvolume #kimkstyle #llanfaircaereinion
