MY DOORS ARE OPEN

Welcome to my nail world! 

My name is Patrycja Zarotyńska or for short just Pat or Pati. 

I am originally from Poland, born in beautiful city of Krakow, grew up in nearby Pieniny mountains. 

I moved to St. Ives in 2008 and instantly fell in love with its charm and picturesque cobbled streets. It’s a place like no other! I call it my home now. 

When I came over to Cornwall I was employed in hospitality, however I always knew deep in my heart that my destiny is beauty. I absolutely love everything about this industry and I finally turned my dreams into reality when I started my own business in 2016 as lash technician and makeup artist alongside my full time employment in hospitality. 

I’ve trained over the years with some amazing ladies including Cindy Nicholls (lash master), Sally Orchard (makeup artist) and Inese Stepanova (Elleebana educator). In 2019 I've decided to take my education further and did couple of courses in nail enhancements, my passion for many years. This was a turning point in my beauty career. 

I trained with lovely Laura Bell in gel polish and later that year did gel nails course with incredible Chrissie Pearce, who I have admired for many years. I’ve passed and gained gel nail qualification in July 2019 and added nail extensions as one of my services. I did not imagine how popular this service is going to be! Nails are hands down the most popular beauty treatment these days! In 2021 I have decided to no longer offer lash treatments or makeup and concentrate solely on my nail career. 

I absolutely adore working as a nail technician and constantly updating my skills and learning new tricks and techniques as I go. I have also done few add on courses to keep myself up to date and expand my knowledge. You could say it’s turned into obsession if you like 😉 Nail industry is probably one of most exciting places to be, hence I don’t think you can ever stop improving and learning, which is fantastic! I discover something new almost every day!

I love how I can make my clients smile and give them confidence by creating mini art! 

Happy clients are my best ‘thank you’ and my biggest satisfaction. I am thankful they choose me and trust me with their nails. I’m proud to be using many amazing well known brands that are most importantly safe, because healthy nails are my top priority. 

Fancy treating yourself? I’m here if you do 💖💅🏽
