Meet Sarah, your nail & holistic specialist
My nail and beauty journey began in 2000 and over the years I've worked in England, Spain and Ireland. Since my initial training I have continued to update my skills and knowledge to ensure that every client has an individual service tailored to their needs and lifestyle.
Recently I've been looking for a new direction, both personally and professionally. My favourite part of my salon career has always been making people feel better. When someone sits in front of me with the weight of the world on their shoulders, and by the end of the hour or so, having shared their worries (maybe had a little cry) in a non-judgemental environment, they leave a totally different and uplifted person - that brings me the most joy .
In June 2024, I was fortunate enough to attend the "Soothe Your Soul" retreat at Dragonfly House in Andalusia, run by Southsea's Yoga Guru "The Max Effect". It ignited a fire within! We all live such busy, stressful lives, often reaching emotional. mental or physical burnout; we just don't invest in our personal well-being as we should do. Light bulb moment warning!! What we all need is to escape the real world from time to time, and one of the ways to achieve that is via holistic experiences. They really help you to recharge and reset through carefully chosen therapies, massage oils and mindfulness. I'm on a personal discovery too, learning the Ayurvedic principles, it's fascinating stuff. A FIVE THOUSAND YEAR OLD whole-body healing system balancing mind, body and spirit.
In January 2025 I had the trip of a lifetime to India; another of Max's yoga retreats, this time to "Find Your Bliss". I had an amazing experience, and haven't laughed so much in a long time, it was heaven! I came away with some amazing memories and friends ... and the next step in my Ayurvedic journey... I have signed up to Dr Sam Watts diploma course to become an Ayurvedic Clinician. Starting in September, it's a year long part-time course and will work alongside my salon business. Ayurveda is very much about prevention before cure ... there are no side effects of Ayurveda, only side benefits.
Hence why I felt the need for a rebrand and change of business name. Still the same first class service, just a different focus on finding your inner calm and outer glow.
Whilst we don't expect to cure all your problems in a one hour treatment, taking a little time out helps you to just pause for a moment, escape the 21st Century stress for a while, and just breathe. I can't wait to see you and share this part of my new chapter with you. Sarah
