If youāve followed me from the beginning, you might remember the name Customs By K, when I was 18 I started a small business creating custom designs on shoes, I remember having 1 or 2 customers at first and then it picked up, I had so many boxes of airforces stacked up ready to customise for clients! I had customers that Iāve know/known of from years back at school or around my area buying shoes from me and it was the best feeling ever. When lockdown happened I was furloughed at my full time job and decided to learn how to do nails, once I qualified I quit my full time job took a risk and rented a chair and started doing nails full time in a salon, then we went into lockdown again! Motherās Day and Valentineās Day were round the corner so I decided to make chocolate covered strawberries and bouquets⦠and I was so busy! I remember selling a box of strawberries to my dance teacher from when I was little, who I looked up to so much and she left me a note saying she was proud of me and Iāll never forget that. Once lockdown was over I took another leap leaving the salon to rent a room of my own in Verwood to do nails in, that room is still so close to my heart as itās the first place I rented myself and truly made my own! I knew there was something else for me in the pipeline, so I took my course in aesthetics. I then moved again to where I am today into my Clinic room closer to Bournemouth. Yesterday I had a client come to me for Russian lips, who supported me from way back, buying my strawberries for Motherās Day, came to me to get my nails done and now aesthetics. And it really made me think of how unbelievably grateful I am for each and every one of you whoās supported me wether thatās from when you knew me as Kia from school, dance class, Customs by K or now K Aesthetics! I have a screen shot of this instagram account when I first made it, with only 100 or something and now weāre at 2000+ Iām no where near where I aspire to be, but to look back at where it all began is a truly rewarding feeling! If you read this till the end thankyou and I hope youāve got to know me a bit more from this! Merry Christmas and hereās to the future! šā¤ļø
