“I have been so lucky to have the most amazing clients that without them, I wouldn’t have been able to do a job I’ve loved. These clients have now become my life long friends and I can’t thank them enough for being so supportive.”
“Please be assured that the reason for my closure is strictly personal. I am so lucky that my business continues to grow even in these difficult times but I am ready to start something new and chase new goals.”
Elaine said she will be taking a break from the industry but did rule out a return to it in the future.
“For now, I need to focus on Evie and where our life goes from here.”
All vouchers that are under six-months-old are still redeemable but you are advised to book in as soon as possible.
Elaine concluded: “This hasn’t been an easy decision for me and I hope you all understand that it’s time for change and a new beginning. I look forward to seeing all your beautiful souls in the salon for one last time.”
