✨ ONE YEAR OF THE SALON • FIVE YEARS SELF-EMPLOYED ✨
Today feels extra special.
My salon turns 1, and I’m celebrating 5 years of being self-employed — something I once wasn’t sure I’d ever be brave enough to do.
Doing all this as a single parent has been… a journey.
There’s no guidebook, no magic formula. Just hard work, hope, and the constant battle of trying to keep the work–life balance steady enough to silence the mum-guilt.
And let’s be real — this year has added some extra weight, helped me grow my hair out of pure neglect, and revealed that I have the best support circle of friends, even though I am the absolute worst at replying to texts.
If you’re in my life, thank you for loving me despite my unread-message count.
A big thank you to Vicky, () who actually chooses to work alongside the madness and listen to my chaos.
(Stay tuned for an upcoming post all about our lovely Vicky 👀💛)
And of course, this year has reminded me of the biggest “why” behind everything I do: Paisley Mabel.
My drive, my heart, the most understanding kid… and the girl with zero interest in taking over the family business (keeping me grounded daily 😂).
Thank you for being the reason I push so hard.
If this year has taught me anything, it’s this:
Being a single parent doesn’t stop you from building your dreams — it just means you build them with grit, late nights, early mornings, and a whole lot of heart.
To every client, from the OG's who’s supported me for the last decade or so, to the new faces that I adore getting to know — thank you.
You’ve helped me build something I’m so proud of.
Here’s to year two: more growth, more good hair, more balance… and maybe slightly less chaos.
Thank you for being part of my journey
