Helping Hideaway Nails and Beauty plan their next stage with confidence

Gaining clarity for sustainable growth

Kamila Kozlowska is the owner of Hideaway Nails and Beauty. When she first sought support, she had strong ambition and many ideas for her business, but lacked clarity around how to grow in a structured and sustainable way.

In particular, Kamila was unsure about areas such as employing staff as a self-employed business owner and how to promote her services effectively online to reach a wider audience. This uncertainty left her feeling overwhelmed at times and hesitant about whether she was making the right decisions to move her business forward.

From ideas to clear direction

Through one-to-one support with her advisor, Lateef, Kamila gained the reassurance and guidance she needed to understand what was possible for her business. Lateef provided clear, honest advice and helped answer questions Kamila did not always know how to ask.

This support enabled her to explore her options with confidence, particularly around employing staff and improving her online promotion, directly addressing the challenges that had been holding her back.

Turning ambition into action

Since working with Lateef and the Cumbria Accelerator programme, Kamila’s business has grown significantly. When she first reached out, she was operating from home. She has since opened her own salon, built a team around her, and continued to expand her client base.

Now, with a clear plan and renewed confidence, Kamila is preparing to move into an even larger premises to support the next stage of growth for Hideaway Nails and Beauty.

Reassurance at key moments

“The most valuable part was having clear answers and reassurance at key moments. Knowing my plans were realistic and achievable gave me the confidence to take bigger steps, like moving into commercial premises and growing my team.”

Moving forward with confidence

With her challenges addressed, Kamila now feels confident, motivated, and secure in her decision-making. Doubt has been replaced with belief in herself and her business, allowing her to continue growing Hideaway Nails and Beauty with clarity and confidence.
