WHY DID WE OPEN A NAIL BAR?

Welcome to the new Nail Bar at Elevate Lash Lounge Inc. ✨

You may be asking- why did a lash lounge end up opening a Nail Bar?? And before COVID, we would have probably been asking the same question!

The truth is however crazy this COVID situation is, as a business we have chosen to adapt, lean in (figuratively speaking 🤣) & grow through this all.

As many of you already know, our general manager & master esthetician, Jane, moved back to Nelson from Torino where she worked in & managed spas at 5 star resorts (like the @ancientcedarsspa at @wickinnbc ) to be a caregiver to one of her best friends with MS. After lockdown in March when we were able to come back to work in June, Jane raised concerns about working so closely over faces for extended periods of time while she was also working so closely with a dear friend who had a compromised immune system, suggesting that maybe we could bring in pedicures at Elevate so she could continue working on the team at a more comfortable distancing during services with clients.

Throughout the summer we quickly realized we were going to need more space as clients started also asking about manicure services and group pedicures. One day our landlord dropped in to say hi & offer us another space on Herridge Lane... and the rest is history!

Thank you so much to everyone who has made this possible- @shorelinelectric @styledbyjude @patinad_interiors @speedpro_nelson @freshphoto Dan, Uriel & Mike. Also Emily, our new senior gel & acrylic nail technician who moved to Nelson, BC all the way from Peace River, Alberta- we are so happy to have you here on the team at Elevate 🖤

Thanks so much also to our local clientele for your patience, understanding & continued support as we learn to adapt and navigate through this unusual time... we could not have done it without all of you!! 😘
