thank you so much to everyone who booked with me for my first month of doing nails while in school 🖤 i really appreciate you all!

after trying it out, i realized i need to keep things simple so it’s easier to balance school + nails.

my goal is to keep working with the same regulars each month, but i know not everyone can make it every time. so if you can’t come on the last saturday of the month, please let me know at least 1–2 weeks ahead so i can fill your spot for that month.

this helps me stay organized, make sure no one gets forgotten, and keep everything running smoothly 🖤

for october: since it’s a busier halloween month 🎃, i’ll be accepting a few more people than usual. you can message me as soon as you get this if you’d like to book, since i’m opening up a little more room in my schedule. i’ll mostly be taking clients on the last saturday of this month, and possibly a little before that too.

starting next month and moving forward, appointments will always be on the last saturday of each month (unless i announce otherwise). i’ll always send a quick message if there are any updates.

from now on, i won’t be messaging each person to ask if they’re booking , just message me directly each month when you’re ready to book your spot. i’ll send times only to those who confirmed for that month.

i’ll be uploading updates every month to my blog, which you’ll have access to so you can check for any changes, schedule updates, or important info before the month starts. if you read this, please react with a 🎃 pumpkin emoji to the link, I will be sending everybody to read this post.

this will be how i communicate from now on instead of messaging every single person separately. it helps me know who saw the update and keeps everything organized.

thank you again for supporting me through this new schedule 🤍

love, ruth

PSA

for october, since it’s a busier month 🎃 i might be doing some appointments a little earlier than the last saturday. i just need to know how many people are booking for the month so i can decide which days will work. that’s why it’s important to let me know if you’re coming for october or not. If you are, please be sure to send me your inspirations so that way I can detect what nails are more complicated or more simple and that will help with my time management a lot.

im entering a halloween giveaway with function of vex 💅🏽 theyre giving away $500 worth of nail art products and their stuff is sooo good 🕸️

link in bio 🎃

okay, for october i accepted a few extra clients, so all slots are now filled with regulars and non-regulars. if you were hoping to book for october, it’s too late — all slots are closed. if you’re confused about why you couldn’t get a spot, all updates were in my previous announcement/blog. please check that first before asking again!

Responsibility Reminder ✉️

here’s what’s expected from everyone to help things run smoothly:

• Priority regulars: let me know if you’ll be coming that month.

• Non-regulars: if i post that i’m taking extra slots, message me as soon as you see it if you’re interested.

• All clients: provide your nail preferences (inspo, shape, size, or if you want them cut down).

• giving these details upfront helps me:
  

  • price your set quickly

  • plan my time better

  • fit more people in

  • reduce the countless messages i can’t answer

• no gel x set removals only overlay fill ins of my own
  

• reach out on time because once slots are closed, there’s nothing i can do.

• remember my time is limited and i’m already squeezing my schedule to accommodate extra people , this wasn’t part of my original plan once school started.

Appreciation & Clarification 💕

i’m genuinely trying my best. this isn’t about money, nails is still something i really love, and it’s a deep passion of mine. i will never stop loving art, which is why i continue to extend myself and do my best for you all. i also post announcements in my story and on my nail block whenever there’s a new update, so checking those will make things easier for everyone and take a lot of stress off me. it lets me focus on studying and assignments while still doing my best for you.

the only reason this announcement is long is that i’ve been getting some frustration from people who used to come before school. this isn’t sudden ( i’ve been updating everyone for the past 5–6 months). this will likely be my last long announcement; future updates will be short and simple. i just wanted to get everything out clearly so there’s no confusion.

thank you for understanding , we’ve become a little family, and i truly care about each of you 🩷

i saw a few other nail techs do this and their feedback was really positive so i figured why not try it too

this will help me prep faster and keep everything more organized for both of us less back and forth and less stress 😭

as for the designs there will be a mix of simple to crazy nail art so there’s something for everyone and i’ll try to keep the inspo close to a fall theme 🍂

if it goes well i’ll expand it to up to 30 designs for future months

i’ll be booking for november 22nd and the sooner i get everyone’s votes the faster i can open availability 💅🏽

Hi everyone! I have some exciting updates to share.

⏰ Availability

I will be posting my availability on June 3rd at 11 a.m. My first day back taking clients will be June 14th. The studio will be fully done by the end of May, and I will still be taking clients during that time, so don't worry, you can still book with me while I put the finishing touches on everything.

🔨 Studio remodel

I'm remodeling part of my nail studio room and can't wait for you to see the finished look. Please be patient with me this month. It's not fully done yet, but it still looks really cute right now. I'll also be getting lots of new supplies, including new fun gels, Korean gels, and Japanese gels that I'm so excited about. It's going to be really fun.

LOYALTY CARDS

(coming back permanently!)

Starting June 14th, I'll be bringing back physical loyalty cards and stamping them before each appointment. Here's how it works.

The third to last stamp gets you 15% off your set.

The second to last stamp gets you 25% off your set.

The last stamp gets you 50% off your set

⏱️ Policy enforcement

I'm not changing my policies, but I will be strictly enforcing them starting June. I've been getting a lot of lateness and no shows. I'll be sharing more details on this by the end of June or early July.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

I am officially accepting new clients again, just in time for summer. I'll be on break from school, so I'll have lots of availability. I would really appreciate any referrals. If you have friends or family who need their nails done, please send them my way.

💬 Transparency

If you are on a budget for the month, please let me know and don't be embarrassed. I would rather work with you than have you sit there trying to find something that's not in your range. This process will go a lot faster if I know exactly what you're looking for, so just tell me the vibe you're going for and your budget so things can move more smoothly. This is mostly towards new clients, but it also applies to my regulars if this is relating to you.

Lots of positive changes are happening.

💕 A heartfelt thank you

I just wanted to say thank you for all the support that you've been giving me. I can't wait for all my Korean and Japanese gel polishes to come in the mail and for me to finish setting up and stuff like that so I can use all this cool stuff on you guys. I can't wait to finish setting up completely for you guys to see the outcome because you helped make it happen. I'm so grateful for you guys. OK, love you, and see you in my chair soon for June and forever lol 💖
