About/ Despre Kitty Claws

When I figured I enjoy doing nails extremely much, I thought "Why not try and make a living out of it?". And so, Kitty Claws was born. Sometimes being a perfectionist is good, sometimes it's stopping you from doing things. I want to provide excellent quality service and that's why it took me so long (about an year) to open my doors. I wanted my room to represent me and to be a pleasant place to spend time in. I had to invest a lot as much of the furniture I had was taking up almost all the space. That is a challenging thing, when you don't have a stable job and you're (still) a parasite on your parents' back. I'm happy with the way most of it came out, of course I still have some things to get rid of but overall, I feel I'm on the right track. Kitty Claws is my home based business as I can't afford to rent a place yet :(

Cand mi-am dat seama ca imi place sa fac unghii foarte mult, m-am gandit "De ce sa nu incerc sa traiesc din acest lucru?". Si asa s-a nascut Kitty Claws. Cateodata a fi perfectionist este bine, cateodata te opreste din a face lucruri. Vreau sa ofer servicii de calitate excelenta si de aceea mi-a luat asa mult (cam un an) sa deschid usile. Voiam o camera care sa ma reprezinte si in care sa fie placut sa-ti petreci timpul. A trebuit sa investesc o gramada pentru ca mare parte din mobila pe care o aveam imi ocupa aproape tot spatiul. Acesta este un lucru destul de provocator, cand nu ai un loc de munca stabil si esti (inca) un parazit pe spinarea parintilor. Sunt incantata de cum a iesit in mare, bineinteles mai am cateva chestii de care trebuie sa scap dar per total, simt ca sunt pe calea cea buna. Kitty Claws este afacerea mea de acasa pentru ca nu imi permit inca sa inchiriez un spatiu :(

I offer advice and support on growing and maintaining healthy natural nails, regardless of the desired length. On her first visit, each client receives a free cuticle oil with her desired scent (I have cinnamon, lavender, lemon, orange, bergamot, jasmine and ylang ylang available) and an instruction sheet on how to maintain a perfect manicure for up to two weeks (if done with regular polish). Gel polish manicures can be kept more but I recommend changing them every two weeks as the removal process is easier and takes less time, not to mention the esthetic aspects (the visible growth at the cuticle).

Ofer sfaturi si ajutor cu privire la cresterea si mentinerea unghiilor naturale sanatoase, indiferent de lungimea dorita. La prima vizita, fiecare clienta primeste un ulei de cuticule cu aroma preferata cadou (am disponibile scortisoara, levantica, lamaie, portocala, bergamota, iasomie si ylang ylang) si o foaie cu instructiuni despre cum poate pastra o manichiura perfecta pentru o perioada de pana la doua saptamani (pentru oja normala). Manichiurile cu oja semipermanenta pot fi tinute mai mult dar recomand schimbarea lor o data la doua saptamani pentru ca procesul de indepartare este mai usor si ia mai putin timp, fara a mentiona aspectele estetice (cresterea unghiei vizibila la cuticula)

As soon as I get other products I need and/or attend various training courses, more services will be added to this list.
De indata ce fac rost de alte produse care imi trebuie si/sau merg la diverse cursuri, mai multe servicii vor fi adaugate la aceasta lista.


Policies I have in place
Regulile pe care le aplic

1. Please don't be late when arriving for your appointment. A 15 minute delay will get your appointment rescheduled in order to respect the next client's time.

    Te rog nu intarzia la programare. Daca intarzii 15 minute, sedinta va fi reprogramata pentru a respecta timpul urmatoarei cliente.

2. If you want to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please do it at least 24 hours in advance. If on two occasions you cancel less than 24 hours in advance, you will not be able to make another appointment unless you deposit 50% of your desired service beforehand (this sum is non-refundable).

    Daca doresti sa anulezi sau sa reprogramezi sedinta, te rog fa acest lucru cu 24 ore inainte. Daca de doua ori anulezi cu mai putin de 24 ore inainte, nu vei mai putea face alta programare decat cu plata in prealabil a 50% din serviciul dorit (aceasta suma este nerambursabila).

3. If you don't cancel your appointment and don't show up for it, you will not be able to make another appointment unless you pay 100% of your desired service in advance (non-refundable).

    Daca nu iti anulezi programarea si nu vii, nu vei putea face alta programare decat cu plata inainte a serviciului dorit (100%, nerambursabil).

4. Before making an appointment, please check your fingers and nails and assess their health. If you see anything abnormal, please don't make the appointment and go visit a physician first. Also, if you're sick (you caught a flu or any other contagious disease), please don't make an appointment until you're healthy.

     Inainte de a face o programare, te rog verifica-ti degetele si unghiile si evalueaza-le sanatatea. Daca observi ceva anormal, te rog nu face programarea si mergi la un medic in schimb. De asemenea, daca esti bolnava (ai luat o gripa sau alta boala contagioasa), te rog nu face o programare pana cand nu esti sanatoasa.

5.  I'm a perfectionist. The duration of the service depends on the state of your nails and the complexity of the design you choose.

    Sunt o perfectionista. Durata serviciului depinde de starea unghiilor tale si de complexitatea modelului dorit.

About the products I use
Despre produsele pe care le folosesc

I use vegan and cruelty-free products. I sanitise and disinfect my implements thoroughly by immersing them in a very powerful disinfectant (biodegradable, approved by the Ministry Of Health). The files I use are also biodegradable. My cuticle oil bottle has a dropper, not a brush (in order to avoid product contamination). I do not cut cuticles!

Folosesc produse vegane si netestate pe animale. Imi curat si dezinfectez instrumentele foarte bine, scufundandu-le intr-un dezinfectant foarte puternic (biodegradabil, aprobat de Ministerul Sanatatii). Pilele pe care le folosesc sunt de asemenea biodegradabile. Sticluta mea de ulei de cuticule are o pipeta, nu o pensula (pentru a nu contamina produsul). Nu tai cuticule!

This is the Kitty Claws facebook page if you want to follow my activity there too. On my blog I will only post my nails.

Aceasta este pagina de facebook Kitty Claws daca vrei sa imi urmaresti activitatea si acolo. Pe blogul meu voi posta doar unghiile mele.
