DESK SPACE AVAILABLE EASTER ROAD 💅🖤 Not you

DESK SPACE AVAILABLE EASTER ROAD 💅🖤

Not your average nail desk…and we’re not looking for your average FULL TIME nail tech 👀

At Cute But Deadly you’re not just renting a space, you’re stepping into a creative, alt, fully booked, opportunity-filled chaos (the good kind) 😈

Think:
✨ Pop-ups with cool brands
✨ Guest spots & events
✨ Local Collaborations
✨ A supportive team that hypes you up
✨ Learning directly from Zara (aka your nail industry big sis/mentor)

We’re ideally looking for 2 part-time artists to share the desk and keep the space buzzing all week ⚡️

If you’re ready to grow, create sick nail art and be part of something bigger than just a desk rental…

📩 DM us to apply or find out more

Did you honestly think we were retiring nail art?

Be serious.

Welcome back to Cute But Deadly Business School 🎓

For the girls, gays and theys who hated school but want to know about business.

Episode Two, Zara had 8 weeks to find a new salon…or it was game over 💀

No plan B. No safety net. Just conversations and a slight level of delusion.

Through chatting to clients (because yes…your clients know EVERYTHING 👀) she heard about a space that might be available. Emails? Ignored.

So what did she do?
Went and found them in person. Obviously 💅

And just like that…the Easter Road salon was born 🖤

The lesson?
Open your mouth. Talk to people. Tell EVERYONE what you’re doing.

And if no one replies? Be persistent. Be annoying. Go knock on the door!

Because you never know who’s in your chair…or what doors they can open.

Bosses don’t wait for opportunities. They chase them down 💅⚡️

Welcome to Cute But Deadly Business School 🎓 Fo

Welcome to Cute But Deadly Business School 🎓
For people who hated school but still want to learn about business.

First lesson from your Scottish Nail Maw, don’t accidentally own HMRC £10,000 😅

When you’re self-employed, no one really explains things like payments on account…that you might suddenly need to pay 50% of next year’s tax upfront. Fun surprise, right?

In this episode Zara talks about learning the hard way why it’s so important to check in with your numbers and your accountant throughout the year, not just when the tax bill lands.

This series is all about the real stories behind running a creative business, the wins, the chaos and the mistakes we made so you hopefully don’t have to.

If you’re a freelancer, creative or small business owner, consider this your unofficial business class 🖤

Got a business question you want covered in the next episode? Drop it in the comments.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the incre

Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women who make Cute But Deadly what it is 💕🎉🌈💅🏻

From the artists behind the desks to the clients who sit in them, this little alt nail community is built on talented, creative, supportive women who hype each other up every single day.

Behind the scenes there are also women working incredibly hard supporting each other, sharing advice, offering help, and quietly lifting this community up in ways people don’t always see. That kindness and support is what makes this space so special.

Here’s to women running businesses, creating art, supporting each other and looking absolutely deadly while doing it 💅✨

We loved seeing nail techs getting their flowers during Bad Bunny’s halftime performance 🔥💅

So much of nail culture and innovation comes from Black and Hispanic communities, and that creativity deserves to be seen, celebrated and credited always!!!

We might be based in Scotland, but we know this craft has deep roots, real history, and serious cultural impact 🖤

That moment was such a powerful reminder that celebrating differences makes everything richer, louder and way more fun ✨

Nails are art. Nails are culture. And we’re always here to honour where it comes from 💅🖤
