Blades & Beauty

Skincare specialist Vicky Lane set up her own business Blades & Beauty in 2019 because she wanted to work for herself & be her own boss. She's never looked back

Before I discovered Pocket PA, I used 3 different apps for all my business needs which can become a bit tedious. My business would not be where it is today without Pocket PA.

How did you get started in Skincare and working for yourself?

I started my business in 2019 after wanting to do something for myself, and something to make me feel proud. I looked at all the options but I have always been interested in beauty and skincare.

I found a skincare course online and booked it without hesitation, I thought, If I like it, great, If I don't that's ok.

I completed the course and I just instantly knew that I wanted to do skincare treatments.

I started my Instagram page and had a small clientele and a few models. I had no idea how popular skincare treatments were until I started and I became busier and busier.

I never expected this. I have built such a good relationship with my clients and nothing makes me feel happier knowing they are happy with the treatment I provided.

I feel totally in control of my bookings and income. Sending out email reminders is so <br>professional and all my clients love it!
What do you feel most proud of over the last 12 months?

The biggest achievement in the last 12 months has been building a clientele and having people recommend me.

I never believed I could start my own business, have a clientele, have clients that are like friends to me, all while managing a full-time job.

Where do you see yourself a year from now?

In the next 12 months, I would love to own my own salon and train in new aesthetic treatments.

I would like to further my skills and gain another qualification in beauty.

Pocket PA has made my day to day life so much easier and I love how all my bookings, payments, expenses can all be dealt with in one app.

I am so new to tax returns and expenses, but Pocket PA makes this a breeze.

Pocket PA sends out automatic reminders to my clients to remind them of their appointment which saves me a job every night.
