My New Salon!!!

Hello Everyone!

Sorry it's been such a long time again since I've updated. I've been battling with bt to keep my 01202 553400 number (long story and if you want to get in touch it's best on my email zoe.nichols@danielsandler.com as the new salon is full of builders!)

This is the new salon, my 1st premises, sorry for the wait- but you gotta make sure the lease is 100% done properly! Many thanks to Graeme Quar of Quar and Co. for doing such a thorough job. This is what things look like at the mo, an empty shell soon to be:

Soda Beauty & Blow Dry Bar,

5 Poole Hill,

Bournemouth,

Dorset,

BH2 5PW

Tel: 01202 553400

Web: http://www.sodasalons.co.uk/ (under construction.)

Going to be a busy little bee! I've got local man Mike Planner and his motley crew in to create me two new rooms, wire in all my lights, put down the flooring and plumb in my washpoint!!!! Fingers crossed no major disasters will prevent me opening the doors on Tuesday the 5th of October with a big launch party to follow.

You can expect to see me doing my fave things- Makeup- using Daniel Sandler Makeup as normal but now I have the opportunity to include a selection of the range in salon from a stand with the best sellers to buy and take away-there and then! Lashes- using Eylure for strip lashes and Nouveau for semi permanent silk lashes and Spray Tanning using classic Fake Bake!

You can expect a nail technician offering a range on enhancements and manicures and pedicures using the extensive Nails Inc colour collection!

You can expect a therapist for your waxing, massage and Dermalogica Skincare.

And you can expect hair stylists offering beautiful blow dries and dry styling with GHD stylers and styling products.

I hope Soda to be a refreshing change from other hair and beauty salons and hope to see you all soon! I'll update with new pics as I get them!

Moving on from Essensuals...

I have enjoyed my last 8 months at Essensuals, working within Essensuals Beauty salon, but as clients who popped their emails down on their record forms will know I've recently left. (So yes I have alot of updating re my website to be doing!!!) I will let you all know when I've sorted myself out at my new premises, only a short walk from h&m and m&s in Bournemouth town centre. Any my phone number will still be 01202 553400. I will be looking for a couple of self employed personel to join me in my venture, a nail technician to rent a desk, a therapist to rent a beauty room and hair stylists to rent hair chairs- yes, it's quite a move I'm going for!!!

Just to keep you in the know I've been working at a couple of events recently!

The 1st was last week, a very early 7am start for the Elite model search photoshoot day. This was at the very 'wow' Holborn studios, large white rooms and piccies of celeb clients on every wall! Mc Fly was in the studio next to us and Hannah Waterman upstairs. The hair was sorted by Toni&Guy and the look was very natural, then very glam to give the newbie models a couple of different images to kickstart their careers!
Then this week was early, but not so bad at a lush home on the Kings Road for a Daniel Sandler QVC promotional video shoot. Myself and Chris (Quar from the DS team) had to help get 4 models camera ready for a piece that was shot to be used in the run up to Daniel appearing on QVC with his fantastic range. The studio was home of Jonathan Malone, hairdresser to the stars (Naomi C and Kelly Brook and lots of Cosmo covers were on the walls!) and a v beautiful home it was. Defo got some inspiration for my new lil salon!

Can't wait to post more news, keep checking my twitter as I've got a new posh phone and can tweet super easily now!!! xx

It’s been a while! But so much has been happening!
Last Thursday I travelled up to Warren House in Kingston for a Lady Taveners lunch event with the Daniel team! Myself, Christine Quar and Claire Logue had the pleasure of glamming up the already very glamorous Ladies and selling Daniel Sandler Cosmetics to raise money for their projects.
My hectic weekend involved moving house, clients at Essensuals, photographic studio work and making up Lauren for her big day! Lauren is a wedding planner (check out www.florenceblue.co.uk) and I cannot wait for a pic!
Tuesday morning was an early one, up to London to assist Daniel with another Boots.com makeup video. All about bronzing face makeup for a natural glow and a bit of the fake tan application! Then, as Daniel is super amazing at doing things in one take, we finished early and I went to big Topshop. I couldn’t resist the Wah Nails nail bar so got my nails done. Nail Tech Chantel was great and my nails are a lush grey with pink lip kiss marks on my thumbs! I so have to try it myself and get those pens at Essensuals Beauty!
Then this morning brightened up quickly with a visit from photographer Kim to Essensuals Beauty. Fresh faced model in tow, I got to be part of one of the most exciting shoots ever, and prepped the model for an underwater fashion shoot. Pic to be posted soon! Very 80’s inspired, I just had to go for bold block colours on the eyes as the shapes shot underwater were very unique. I finished my beauty page for Listed magazine with Festival Glamour beauty tips and perfect plaits and then picked up a copy of the June edition my way home!
More is planned so I’ll update you soon!

ps this was posted today the 8th of june but was meant to be posted on the 1st, internet troubles you see!

Football Fusion Photo Shoot

Last minute photoshoot yesterday for an forthcoming Bournemouth event Football Fusion. A six a side footie competition and music festival happening this summer!

The pics should be back from Samantha Davis soon as the images are going to be used on a billboard in the town centre!!!! I will also be putting up a few pics from the Rownhams photoshoot I did in February as I've just seen the 'add pic' icon on this blog!

And add videos! Which I'm working on and they are coming soon! I really promise by May!!!

BCOT Competition and busy week at the salon!

Heya!

Last Tuesday the 16th, I was delighted to be asked to judge the student Hair, Health and Holistics Competition at Basingstoke College of Technology! With a number of successful salon owners from in and around Basingstoke I got to chill backstage and decide the fate of the students who had been working all day to create some amazing cosmetic creations, hair and nail art to a number of different themes depending on the categories. The whole effort was outstanding and this year (and I've judged for 3 years now!) was really harder than normal, I have to say as there were so many entries for each competition sometimes I was swayed by the total look and the outfits, not just the art! Totally amazing and well done everyone.

To the College...Thanks for having me!

Makeup Tutorials

Hello, (hiya Clare my 1st follower!)

Just on the long coach ride back from London. Been assisting Daniel at a London studio today. Filming for Boots.com summer makeup tutorials. Met some totally amazing people and am feeling as if I've blinked and the whole day went by so quickly!

I got up at 4am for this one so that's probably why I'm so shattered but had to do just do a little update on here! The Boots people were from Nottingham (obviously the home of Boots!) the model all the way from Brighton and Daniel did a few looks which will be out soon! I'm not going to say any more but post a link when I have it!

1 million different things!

Heya Loverlies,

I feel as if I've done a million different things since my last post so here's all my latest news...

Got PR out at the moment... As the new Hair, Health and Beauty Editor for Listed, the page looks amazing! I love writing and have already sent across next months! Hampshire Brides contains tips from myself and Carly for Mothers of the Bride! and DV8 Bournemouth has a couple of pics of me in with rather alot of blusher on :( (but looking at how neon orange with fake bake body polish is on the shelf behind me shows the piccies were rather punched-up after being taken! and I don't look that mental day to day!) I'll sort out a link to the Daniel Sandler site when those publications are scanned up on there so you can judge!

We started a new client promo. Look out for Touch One reps on the streets of Bournemouth with a really good offer for you, yes it is genuine!

Professional Beauty trade show was Sunday and Monday just gone. I worked on the Beauty Alliance stand (D10/C11) on the Daniel Sandler Pro team. Mini makeups, selling the latest foundation, and signing spas and salons to the Daniel Sandler salon range was my task. along with Heather White (who demoed a look on stage) Victoria Lees, all the way from North Allerton and General Manager, Nicky Saragossi. Oh and Daniel! Demoing and getting stopped for piccies! Celeb Manicurist Leighton Denny, amazing Nail Tech Kirsty Meakin and Wax Queen- Kim Lawless were all demoing too. Long day of working and spending money stocking up on essentials for Essensuals Beauty! Carly got Perron Rigiot non strip wax and for an introductory offer is doing Hollywood and Brazilian waxing for just £15. Call to book on 01202 553400.

Straight after Pro Beauty, Monday morning, nice and early I'm stocking up on strip lashes, to give you Bournemouth girls the trademark Bournemouth look! Then to Creative Academy + for Minx Mondays! Watching and having a go with the new two-tone designs, and stocking up!

I'm editing my makeup tutorial vids and going to London again before the week is out... no peace for the wkd!

Night all!
