💅 WE’RE HIRING! 💅

Smashing Nails is growing and we’re looking for another nail tech to join our team! ✨

Experience is a massive bonus and definitely preferred, as we’d love someone who can bring their own skills, creativity and love for all things nails into the salon.

That being said, we’re all about finding the right person - so if you’re new to the industry but have the passion, attitude and willingness to learn, we’re happy to work with you! 🥰

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work, has high standards, loves creating beautiful nails and fits into our quirky, sass-filled little crew. 😂

The position will initially be part-time, with the potential to grow into more hours and potentially full-time for the right person.

The role will include some late nights and weekend work, so flexibility is important.

If you think you could be a great fit for Smashing Nails, we’d LOVE to hear from you!

📩 Applications via email: [email protected]

Please include a little bit about yourself, your nail experience and some photos of your work

Obsessed with how soft and glowy these turned out 😍✨

I turned duo chrome powders into custom polishes, then ombréd the shades across each nail for that dreamy shifting glow 🌈💫 Finished with little hand-painted sparkles because apparently they weren’t magical enough already 😂✨

The colour shift on these in different lighting is UNREAL 🤤💖

✨⚡ Mischief managed… and nails officially parade ready! ⚡✨

The gorgeous girls from the Shop Front Alliance came in to get their nails ready for their Harry Potter themed float for the Alexandra Blossom Festival parade! 🧙‍♀️🪄

Of course we had to go FULL Hogwarts - house colours, lightning bolts, Deathly Hallows, golden snitches and all the magical little details. ✨💅

Now all that’s left to do is VOTE FOR THEIR FLOAT! 🙌🌸
If you spot the Harry Potter crew in the parade, make sure you show the Shop Front Alliance girls some love and get your vote in! 🪄⚡

They’ve put so much work into bringing the magic to Blossom Festival and we can’t wait to see the finished float! 😍

Accio votes! 🪄✨

That glossy brown is SUCH a vibe 😮‍💨 and the blooming gel accents just make it 🤌🏼✨

Simple enough for the neutral girlies… but with a little bit of sass 💅🏼

Gorgeous set by Renee 🤎
