😭😭😭

Omg, farewell & thankyou from a very long standing client today.
This next few weeks/months are going to be very emotional 😢

It all feels very real now, I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared, as I am.
But, I need to man up and follow my dreams

Thank you all for being supportive and making this as easy as it can be 🥰

Ria & Lucy 💕

‼️ IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CLIENTS ‼️

As many of you will already be aware, being predominantly a nail technician for so many years has taken its toll on my hands.
With the recent increase in demand for medical and cosmetic tattooing and with Lucy proving to be such a natural at fine line tattooing, I have decided that now is the right time to work towards closing down the nail and beauty side of HIVE.

Operating both sides of the business is simply too much work load for me along with my long burning desire for medical tattooing, I really feel I need to give this my all.

Juggling a full time job, running a business and family comitments is tough so I am confident that the timing is right for this new chapter and for putting myself and my family first.
Moving forward with the working hours I wish to operate this simply won't fit with nails and beauty.

This is not an easy decision for me as over the past 28 years I've built strong bonds with many of you and I will certainly miss our regular catch up's.

Lucy and I have been working together sourcing local competent and professional therapists and technicianswhich we will be happy to link you up with as and when we see you at your next appointments.
There is no immediate rush with this and the changes will gradually be happening over the next 12 months as we aim to be taking next summer away from the salon.

Given this, please accept my sicere gratitude for you loyalty and support over many years, I will be forever grateful.
I hope you can understand this decision and appreciate how hard this is for me as you do all hold a special place in my heart.

All my love Ria ❤️
