PLEASE READ

New clients - deposits and cancellation fees.

👂 Ear Wax Removal customers only

I’m so sorry to have to do this but
Unfortunately I have had 2 clients this week, who booked their next appointment for 6 months time but quite clearly had forgotten when I turned up at their homes🤷‍♀️

Text message reminders are sent out via Fresha to the contact number given in advance - please look out for these and if you are unable to honour your appointment just let me know - there is no cancellation fee if cancelled up to 48 hours in advance, after this a £30 fee is payable - (a payment link will be sent for cancellation payments, if not paid no further appointments will be honoured).

This has been a loss to me of £130 + fuel costs this week so far which I just cannot afford to lose.

So unfortunately now I have made the decision to introduce a deposit scheme for all advanced bookings - anything booked further ahead than 4 weeks will now require to pay a £30 non refundable deposit upon booking.
This will then be taken off the total cost once treatment has been provided.

Appointments will not be honoured until the deposit has been received.

This is to cover my costs (fuel, time, wages etc)

(This is for new clients only booking their 2nd + follow up appointment ).

I always advise my clients to only book ear wax removal if/ when they have a problem or can feel
Their ears need clearing - so if you have an awful memory like me 😂 or just don’t keep a note of dates and appointments, please just call and make an appointment as and when needed - this will save any embarrassment for both of us and losses to my business.

I currently don’t take deposits on bookings as I have built my business out of mutual respect and trust but unfortunately this may have to change.

I get it - life is busy, we all forget things and make mistakes but Please look after us small businesses or you just might lose us altogether.

Thankyou for reading and thankyou for your continued support

Ever wondered why the skin on your feet feels so different? 👣

🚨 DID YOU KNOW - The epidermis on your feet actually contains an additional layer compared to the rest of the body - the Stratum Lucidum

The skin on the soles of your feels thicker, tougher, and is built to handle pressure, friction, and impact all day long. Unlike the rest of your body, it doesn’t produce oil—just sweat—so it can get dry more easily. Plus, those unique ridges help with grip and balance.

Every aspect of your feet are basically engineered for walking. Pretty impressive when you think about it.

👣 HERE IS A SIMPLE FOOT CARE ROUTINE FOR YOU TO TRY:

If your feet get dry, rough or cracked, here’s a no-fuss routine that actually works:

🧴 Daily: Apply a heel balm like Flexitol/Dermatonics or Restorate Foot Cream (10-25% urea) to deeply hydrate and soften hard skin.

🪨 2–3x a week: Gently use a fine foot emery board (NO GRATERS, NO PUMICE STONE - these can be harsh and cause cracks to split; as well as causing issues for those with diabetes)

🌙 Night boost: Apply cream, ideally after showering, bathing or a luxurious foot soak 💤… then immediately apply bamboo or cotton socks overnight to lock in moisture.

💡Get feet checked by the professionals… not all flaky/ cracked skin is a simple hydration issue… thyroid problems, mediations, skin disorders and health conditions can impact skin integrity. Sometimes antifungals are required instead of moisturiser!

Consistency beats complexity — your feet just need a bit of regular care to stay soft and healthy.

I haven’t posted on here for a while as apparently some of you don’t like my pictures of feet 🦶 😂

I have been incredibly busy with both foot care and ear wax removal which I am so grateful for.

I can always squeeze a few more appointments in though, so if you or anyone you know, wants either your feet taking care of or your ears unblocking please give me a call (the new website is still under construction).

I will try and get some more ear wax pics and maybe a video or 2 👂

Twins!!!

This poor young chap came into clinic today with a bad headache, jaw ache and generally feeling horrible.

I took one look in his ears and both were solidly packed with wax.

A little oil and the mighty microsuction device soon cleared those ears and left my patient feeling and hearing much better.

What a fantastic result 🏅
