A HEARTBREAKING ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT MY BAWTRY SALON
I honestly never thought I’d be writing this post, and if I’m completely honest, my heart is breaking a little more with every word.
After so much love, hard work, passion and dedication, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close my Bawtry salon.
This isn’t a decision I’ve taken lightly. My little salon has been so much more than just a business to me. It’s been a place where I’ve been able to do something I love, help women feel more confident in themselves, provide a little escape from the stresses of everyday life, and create a space where people can relax, feel cared for and enjoy some much-needed me time.
But life has thrown me a curveball that I’m still trying to navigate.
Since having my leg amputated, I’ve had to face the reality of just how much my circumstances have changed. I think, perhaps, I was incredibly naive in believing that surgery wouldn’t change my life in the way it has. I knew there would be challenges, of course, but I don’t think anything could have prepared me for the reality of adapting to a completely different way of living.
And that’s been one of the hardest things to come to terms with.
The Bawtry premises are simply no longer suitable for my needs, and as heartbreaking as it is to admit, I have to listen to my body, acknowledge my new circumstances and make decisions that are right for me going forward.
I’m grieving the loss of something I’ve worked so hard to build, and I think it’s okay to acknowledge that. You can be grateful for what you’ve achieved and still be absolutely devastated that things haven’t worked out the way you imagined.
BUT PLEASE, PLEASE KNOW… THIS IS NOT GOODBYE! 🥹
Although closing my Bawtry salon feels like the end of a chapter I desperately wanted to continue, it absolutely does not mean the end of my journey.
There are already things happening behind the scenes, plans in the pipeline and exciting possibilities that I’m not quite ready to share just yet… 👀
So please, keep your eyes peeled for updates and announcements, because I’m not done yet!
My circumstances may have changed, my path may look a little different, and I may have to find new ways of doing things, but the passion, the ideas and the determination are still there.
Sometimes life takes us down a path we never would have chosen for ourselves, and we have to find a new way forward, even when our hearts are still catching up.
To every single client who has supported me, booked a treatment, recommended my little salon, shared my posts or simply walked through my door and trusted me to look after them — THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
You have been part of something incredibly special to me, and I will never take that for granted.
This chapter is closing, and yes, I’m utterly heartbroken. But there is still so much I want to do, so much I want to create, and so much more to come.
This isn't goodbye. It's simply a change of direction.
Watch this space, lovelies… there's more to this story yet.
With love and gratitude, Danielle x
