Q&Co Hair

A quick message and update:

Thank you to those that have respected my need for a break and haven't applied pressure to me while I've been away.

However I'm finding an increasing number of people, now starting to message and wanting appointments.

I made it very clear that once I was in a position to take on more work, I would announce it on here. I was hoping to have a bit longer to get more things in place, but I've once again been pushed, I shouldn't have to explain myself but here we go.

I only moved home two weeks ago, the entirety of the time since the salon closed I have been non stop, organising the space to give back, trying to make ends meet and then immediately after that having g to organise myself and my personal belongings to leave my accomodation also, which I had spent the past 5 years in. Anyone who has had to move understands this is quite a task.

A huge portion of this I have had to do alone, whatever you think you may know about my personal life is wrong, because I don't always want to disclose my personal life on a daily basis. I have been alone in managing things for a good amount of time now. At one point in time I was also facing the reality of complete homelessness.

I have with what was left of a bit of will, secured myself somewhere to live, a employed job part time, and I'm in the process of trying to figure out availability to announce, once I know where I stand with employment, yes there are some people I have been able to contact and been able to visit, again this is due to confidential reasons for myself and those clients, just because it has been said I have visited someone or you've seen me about does not mean I am up and running, I have had to make enough so I can feed myself.

As I have always said, I am forever grateful for all the support and care I have been shown, but sometimes even that can get overbearing, I know everyone means well, but imagine it coming in multiple messages over multiple days, when you are just trying to survive.

My availability is going to be extremely reduced as I am having to take on fully employed work due to financial reasons, hairdressing is just not enough, yes I have ensured it is something that will give me some availability, but I am not going to be available all the time at any time. I will be releasing available dates in due course.

I urge you, if you are desperate, please seek services elsewhere, I am not going to be able to accommodate everyone and for this I am sorry, but I'm left with no other option but focus on financial health and a hefty amount of debt repayment.

Again please don't take this message as ungrateful, I am extremely grateful to everyone who has helped in any way they can, those who have checked in with no expectations and those who have been waiting.

I will return, I just need a little more time.

Thank you

Cody

After 3 amazing years running my salon, I’ve had to close due to rising costs and health struggles. It’s been heartbreaking — I’ve lost my space, my savings, and even my car.

But I’m not ready to give up on what I love. ✂️💫
I’m raising funds to help me go mobile — so I can keep doing what I do best: bringing confidence, care, and connection to people through hairdressing.

If you can donate or share, it would mean the world to me.
Thank you for helping me rebuild. 💕

Donate to ✂️ Help Cody Go Mobile! ✨, organized by Cody Quin Hi everyone — I’m Cody, a hairdresser who’s been running a small salon for the past three years. … Cody Quin needs your support for ✂️ Help Cody Go Mobile! ✨

✨️✨️Another important announcement ✨️✨️

As many of you are already aware, I have once again been struck down with a horrible flu virus, keeping me out of the salon for over a week now, as we can see there's a trend in my illness now and it seem every time I try to continue I'm stopped again, it's probably time I owned up to the fact I was diagnosed with a chronic illness in childhood which thought-out my adult life I've been able to balance and manage, however these past years is the most my body has ever allowed me to work, and I was managing, till I wasn't. This is making my recovery from any illness much much slower, and it seems this last bout of illness has really made me realise how little my mind and body can cope with at the moment.

I've been in touch with doctors, family, friends, wracking my brain how I can get these next few weeks done without letting so many people down. The reality of it, I can't, my condition is the worst that it's been in years. I've been officially singed off of work at this point, so as much as it pains me, I'm afraid I have to cancel my last two weeks in the salon. I'm doing Everything I can to get personal messages out to everyone, but if you are affected and have seen this message before I get to you personally, please comment or send a private message to the salon to confirm you have received this information, this will be a huge help to me at this time.

Saying this, I can't hide away till I'm miraculously better, and there's a lot to be done with the closure, so I will still be around trying to rebuild some of my stamina and strength, this won't mean that I can suddenly give everyone appointments. The plan is still to recuperate this side of the year and return with mobile options in the new year. Until then, nothing is promised, I will do my absolute best to offer private appointments for those who have been waiting the longest during my illness and the most regulars. But if you don't hear from myself personally, it's because I simply cannot accommodate you at this time. I'm very sorry.

However, Ebony will still be continuing her clients during these next two weeks, the salon will be open on reduced hours due to her schedule, she is fully booked with her own clients, so she cannot fill in for myself with any appointments, she will be there to complete her work and help if anyone is wanting to purchase Advanced tickets and raffle tickets for our Halloween event. If you can't catch the salon for your tickets, you can message us privately to reserve or purchase on the night.

Thank you if you've made the effort to read all of this, I hope it brings some more understanding

Cody

Please join us on the 31st at the hall for an evening of spooky games and fancy dress! You can advance pay for tickets at the salon or at the door on the night, we will also be holding a raffle that you can purchase tickets for anytime from now on from the salon!

Get your costumes ready!

See you then 🧛‍♂️🧟‍♂️🎃👻🍁

A quick message from me now that we are in our last few weeks of trade:

Firstly a huge thank you to all of you for your overwhelming love and support since the announcement, you have been so kind to us with your understanding, extra tips, cards and gifts. This means so much to us and it's overwhelming how much support we really have from the community ♥️

Unfortunately I know many of you hoped for some magical solution to come out way following the announcement, but things have been in place for a while now and there isn't a wonderful solution out there to keep us here, but we hope to find options to see you again, this page will not be removed. I will be transferring it to any future ventures I will pursue, so if you want to stay in contact keep this page on your feed! (Updates will likely be in the new year)

Finally we will still be working with the village hall for our Halloween event this year, if you would like to support please come and see us at the hall on the 31st! All are welcome, I'll be posting the advert shortly for those who haven't yet seen it!

A huge thank you again

Love

Cody

**Please read carefully, we will be facing a lot of explanations and questions following this announcement**

After 3 years I had hoped we would be celebrating and looking forward to many more years serving this wonderful community, however that is not the reality of the world we now live in, everyone is aware of how high costs are for us all, and small businesses have been impacted the most, I have dug my heals in and continued though, for longer than I would’ve been advised to, purely because of the difference we make to the community, but the time has come to accept that I cannot do any more.

You are all aware of how many hours I work on a weekly basis to keep things afloat, unfortunately this has had a huge impact on my physical and mental health, not to mention my finances as everything that I have made has been circled straight back into the business, it’s not sustainable or healthy.

The future of the property is out of my hands so we do not have any answers as to what will happen next, that will be up to the owners of the property.

The future of the stylists is also unsure, we have to now re-asses and work out our futures from here, we are urging people to find other options for their services at this time as we can’t guarantee either of us will be able to fulfil them at this time, hence why I have announced this with two months’ notice, this allows time to have next appointments with us and time to seek alternatives before those all-important end of the year hair needs. We will provide colour clients with their hair colour formulas to ease future stylists to continue the results you love.

We have loved having each and every one of you as clients for these years and your support has been unmatched, unfortunately it seems all the support in the world is not a match for the costs we are facing. I urge you to please please support local hairstylists in this area, we have lots if fantastic stylists still working around the area, and they need your support more than ever.

**If you have booked with me past the 1st of November with me in recent weeks (Not counting if your appointments are on an automatic rebook) I plan on still fulfilling those appointments it may be that they will have to change to a home visits depending on the clearance of the salon.**

I’d like to take this moment to thank my wonderful staff past and present, it’s thanks to them I’ve been able to continue this long, it’s been a pleasure to watch each of them grow.

Please be kind with us at this time, we are as devastated as you are, we have done our absolute best.

Thank you
Love and Light
Cody

I am now back to work, I know many are keen to get themselves rebooked, I am opening up a couple of holiday days to help with demand, but please bear in mind, the books are still very full, there is a chance some many have to wait till August for appointments. I can only apologize for the inconvenience caused to those cancelled, if you are still in need of rebooking please get in touch with us and we will do our absolute best. To put it in perspective approximately 50 of you have lost appointments, so we are expecting a bit of a backlog.

thank you again

Cody

A message I had always feared having to write,

Due to extreme burn out on top of a scissor injury. I have been medically advised to stop working to allow my body to heal.

All appointments from now till the 16th of June are cancelled. I cant guarantee a fast rebook due to the pressure my schedule is already under.

The majority of clients this is affecting, should have already received an alert from our booking system. If you have not received anything yet, then it means your mobile number isn't on our system and we will be contacting you via other means, however, if you have seen this and want to let us know you have, feel free to give us a message before you hear from us directly.

Finally I ask for a bit of privacy at this time and also some consideration of Ebony who will be continuing with her clients, to not add pressure for rebooking before we are back on our feet.

Thank you once again

Cody

📯📯Salon Announcement 📯📯

Due to your amazing support and loyalty both Cody and Ebony are finding themselves too booked to manage the current clientele, meaning we must stop taking on any new clients at this time so we are able to have the availability for all of our regulars.

If we find ourselves more available in future we will announce availability.

once again we appreciate your ongoing support and recommendations, but please keep this in mind when recommending us in the next few months!
