Lainey’s Locks

Hi everyone 💗 this is a long one so please bear with me.

I just wanted to give you all a little update regarding my appointments.

As many of you know, I’ve been dealing with some health issues over the last few weeks, including a fractured foot and endometriosis. Unfortunately, this has meant I’ve had to take some time away from work to focus on my recovery.

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided on a way forward that allows me to continue doing what I love while also putting my health first.

✨ Moving forward, Thursdays in the salon will be reserved exclusively for my existing colour clients. I will be offering a late night on this day also.

Cut & blow dry’s, blow dry’s, hair ups, curls and wet cuts will now be offered as a mobile service only. I will also be able to offer mobile colour appointments for my existing colour clients who are happy to have their colour done at home. I’ll also be offering weekends for these services.

At the moment, I’m not able to take on any new colour clients for salon appointments.

My salon colour appointments will resume from Thursday 20th August. However, all Thursday appointments are already fully booked until Thursday 17th September, as I’ve honoured all existing bookings.

I completely understand that these changes won’t work for everyone, and that genuinely saddens me. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find the best solution to keep my small business going while looking after myself. One thing this experience has taught me is that your health really is your wealth, and I’ve definitely learned that the hard way.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single one of my amazing clients for your patience, understanding, kindness and continued support over the last five weeks. Your loyalty, love and compassion have meant more to me than you’ll ever know, and I’ll always be grateful for each and every one of you.

Finally, I want to say a huge thank you to Stacey. Thank you for having my back through all of this. I’m so lucky to have a chair in your salon, and everything you’ve done to support me during such a difficult time will never be forgotten. 🩷😘

Thank you all for sticking by me. I can’t wait to see you all again soon. ✂️💕

Hi everyone. 🩷

Firstly I would just like to say a massive thank you to Stacey Rose Crawford for all she has done for me regarding my business. Taking on my clients that she could, being there for me even when she was on her holiday & not just being a work buddy but a real genuine friend that has helped me in ways she probably doesn’t even realise. She is the kind of person you’d defo want in your corner & I’m blessed to have her in mine & call her my friend for life. Thank you Stacey 🩷

Secondly.
Im taking a little break from answering calls & booking appointments until I return to the salon in a couple of weeks. I need a bit of time to take a total reset. Things have just got a bit much & I need to take a step back for a little while.
In the mean time you can call the salon on 01389 722887 & Stacey & Megan will sort out any appointments for you or they will take your name & number & I’ll call you back once I’m back at work.

My booking system is open 24/7 & if you can please try & use this as a way of booking your appointment.

I currently have no appointments until the second week of August.

Thank you so much for all your understanding & patience.

I’ll see you all in a couple of weeks.

Much luv E🩷 xx

Good afternoon.

Could any clients that had an appointment with me over the last 2 weeks that hasn’t been contacted by Stacey & still needs an appointment please reach out to me. My self & Stacey are doing all we can to sort you all out. I’m hoping to have a date for my return, if you could message me privately I’ll get you booked in for as soon as I can.

If you have an appointment with me & you haven’t heard from me saying it’s going to be cancelled then your appointment still stands.

Stacey has no more appointments left to accommodate any more of my clients unfortunately. As you know she has all her own clients to get done after being off for 2 weeks on holiday. So sorry to anyone that’s been left disappointed. With there only being two of us I’m sure you can all appreciate how hard this is.

Again thank you all for your understanding & your patience.

I’ll be seeing you all again soon

It’s made my heart burst, I feel so loved 🩷 I love you all & from the bottom of my heart, your kindness will never be forgotten.

Just a wee update after seeing the orthopaedic consultant today.

So it’s defiantly a confirmed lisfranc fracture/break. Good news is no surgery is required at this point.

No weight bearing for another 5 weeks but as many of you know being self employed has its challenges & I may need to return sooner, if safe to do so.

Please anyone with appointments from wed 22nd July till wed 12th August be aware that I may need to cancel your appointment. I do understand that people may want to make other arrangements for their hair, I won’t be offended if you need to do this. I’d just rather give you all as much notice to what is going on.

Stacey will be back in the salon wed 15th July & will do what she can to help accommodate my clients if she can. She has all her own clients to get to after being away on holiday for 2 weeks.

All this couldn’t have come at a worse time with what has happened & Stacey being away , so please bear with us.

Thank you all so much for your understanding & I hope to see you all soon.

Health Update 🩷

Just a little update following my CT scan today.
The good news is that my ligament is still intact. Unfortunately, the scan has shown that I’ve broken a small piece of bone in my foot. I’ll be attending the fracture clinic next week to see a foot specialist, who will decide on the best course of treatment. My doctor doesn’t think I’ll need surgery, but the final decision will be made at next week’s appointment. 🤞🏻🙏🏻
For now, I’ll need to stay in my boot for the next 4–6 weeks. I’ll definitely be off work next week, and possibly the week after too. I’ll be taking things one week at a time and listening to my body as I recover.
I’ll be contacting all clients who will be affected over the next few days to discuss appointments.
Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and all the lovely messages I’ve received—they really do mean a lot.
I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

So yesterday I ended up in a&e. I’ve a suspected lisfranc ligament tear in my foot. I’m attending the RAH trauma assessment unit today to find out exactly how bad it is & if I’ll need surgery (hopefully not) 🤞🏻🙏🏻

All clients have been contacted this week. I’m so sorry to the ones I’ve had to cancel at such short notice. I realise some of you have holidays & this has made me feel awful 😢😞

Whatever the outcome today I suspect I’ll be off for a number of weeks but I’m waiting on confirmation today for that & then I’ll be in contact with all clients this will affect.

Can I please ask that you be patient with me I’m absolutely gutted that this has happened on top of waiting for surgery for my endometriosis & now being out of work. This is having a big impact on me mentally so please be kind.

Good morning 🩷
I finish up today for a much needed wee holiday. I’ll be back in the salon on Wednesday 27th May. I won’t be answering any messages during this time, I’ll pick them all up when I’m back in the salon. Please don’t think I’m ignoring you if you don’t get a reply from me.

My Fresha booking system is active 24/7 to make any appointments when I’m off.

As always thank you so much for your continued support, it means a lot to me.

Much luv E 🩷 xx

Some of my work over the last couple weeks. 🩷🥰

Please note the fashion colour was earlier this year before I took that service off my booking system. Hopefully back to doing them at some point in the near future. 🤞🏻

Hi everyone, just a wee update to let you all know that from Saturday 9th May I will no longer be offering Saturday appointments.
I will be adding on an extra late night depending on how my body is coping to make up for this, it’ll be a Friday night that I’ll be offering.

After my operation (whenever this may be) still don’t have a date, I will look at things again.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but looking after myself & my body is what I need to do atm & having that extra day off will help me massively right now.

Thank you all for your love & support.
