Hi, I’m Shai 👋🏼 (pronounced Shay) I’ve been meaning to show my face on here properly and introduce myself…
I’m 30, a mum, a newlywed and the face behind Calm 🥹
I’ve pretty much grown up in the beauty industry. My Mum and Auntie both own successful salons and some of my earliest memories are being in my Mum’s first salon, watching all the girls with their clients and absolutely loving being around it all.
I started studying hair and beauty while I was still at school and at 16 went on to study Beauty Therapy at college. Around the same time, my Mum opened Beautiful Nails & Body Salon in Poundhill, where I’ve worked for the last 14 years!
It was during my pregnancy that something started to shift for me. I suffered with HG, which is severe sickness, and I wanted to find a more natural way to help manage it. This led me to acupuncture and homeopathy, which opened up a whole new world for me. I became really interested in holistic treatments, wellbeing and how much our lifestyle can affect how we feel 🍃
After having my son, that interest only grew and I decided to train in reflexology and completely fell in love with it. Anyone who speaks to me about it can probably tell because my face lights up! 🦶🏼
And that’s really where the idea for Calm began ✨
Calm is my own little space where I can bring together everything I love about beauty and wellbeing. From reflexology and holistic therapies to facials, massage, brows, lash lifts and body rituals, with plenty more to come.
I’m so excited for this next chapter and so grateful for every booking and every bit of support so far. And if I haven’t met you yet, I can’t wait to welcome you to Calm 🤍
