00:00 I'm Katie Kirk, owner of Nailogical.
00:04 So Katie, tell me what award you've been nominated for and do you think you'll win?
00:09 This year so far we've been nominated for Nail Salon of the Year for 2024
00:17 and we won it last year so fingers crossed, I really hope we win it again.
00:24 Tell me what it's been like running the business this year, what with the cost of living crisis?
00:30 It's been really difficult this year, everybody is really really struggling
00:35 and that has had quite an impact on the amount that people spend in here and also
00:43 some clients just can't afford to come anymore which is a shame, well they've had to stretch
00:49 out their appointments so it's definitely had quite an impact on us.
00:55 And tell me what it's like sort of changing your career to running your own business now?
01:00 I changed my career at the age of 30 and it's amazing, it fits around my children,
01:09 I work the hours that I need to, when my husband's away it gives me the flexibility
01:16 and it's such a sense of achievement to be able to say that this is all mine.
