MY STORY
I'll always tell you the truth. Kindly.
I'm politely blunt. I say it how it is, and I always say it with kindness. So here's the truth about me.
Where it started
I didn't start out running the show. I started out doing the work, for over 25 years, in salons, in spas, on cruise ships and in recruitment. And I kept seeing the same thing: brilliant, talented people being undervalued in an industry that's so much more than painting nails.
Why Mooeys
In 2013 I found the courage to do something about it and opened Mooeys. Today it's seven salons across the south of England, and every single Moo is employed. Trained, supported and paid properly. It isn't the easy route. It's the right one.
No BS
You should also know this. Our feeds are full of BS. People selling what they've never done themselves, and polished highlight reels that leave the rest of us feeling less than. You won't get that from me. You'll get authenticity: the wins, the wobbles and the lessons, even when they aren't pretty.
What drives me
What drives me most is empowerment. Teaching, sharing what I've learned the hard way, and helping people see what they're capable of long before they can see it themselves. Watching someone step into a role they never thought was meant for them is the kind of growth I live for.
Curious to a fault
When AI arrived I didn't wait to be told how to use it. I rebuilt our budgets, our systems and our training around it. That bit of innovation changed how I run everything, and I'd love to show you how.
Home
Home is Bedford, with my husband, aka Hot Ginge, our daughters Willow and Piper, and Ted the dog at my feet. Still evolving, still curious, and still writing it all down.
