Taylor’s Maternity Leave Updates
Hi my loves!
So, I am officially on Maternity Leave, but what does that actually mean for a women who is obsessed with her work, her salon, her clients and her staff?
Well, it means, I’m gone, but not really. haha, I can’t stay away.
It means that while my bookings are closed & I won’t be working on clients , I will still be around, a lot. I’m not ready to sit at home, when I can sit here with you all instead :D
2026 Birthday Sale
I have decided that we won’t be having a Birthday Sale for 2026, the girls are just jam packed fitting all you beautiful women in for your maintenance appointments. But I do have something planned for when I return, it’s a super secret :P But also keep an eye out for last minute deals we might put up of we have a spot that needs filling.

Faulty Thread Fiasco
We unfortunately had a faulty batch of extension sewing threads come through recently, which meant about 25% of our clients have had issues with thread unravelling, it even happened to my own wefts.
It was definitely not what we like to see, but somethings are out of our control.
We have fixed up all of you who fell victim to the Great Thread Unravelling Crisis of 2025, and have resolved the issue, thankfully we have had no further unravellings!
Appointment Durations
I believe most of, if not all of you, have now had appointments with Teneil, Keira or Maryam (quick note, Maryam is sadly no longer part of our team, no exciting story, the travel to and from work was just a bit too much for her so she decided to resign).
I have been working exclusively with weft extensions since mid 2019, so over the years, I have done over 1500 of sets & maintenances (I ran a report, those are real numbers, CRAZY) which means I have gotten quite quick at them, much quicker than the norm and much quicker than the industry standard.
Additionally, the nature of this style of weft extension (genius/mini weft) is that they are VERY prone to little flappy corners, due to the seams being extremely flat, thin and flexible. Flappy corners are every Weft Specialist’s Achilles Heel, and if you have been a client of mine for a few years, you will know that I have only mastered these to about a 90% success rate in the past 12 or so months.
While the girl’s do a fantastic job, their speed and corners are much more inline with the typical industry standard, but we have extensive ongoing training and coaching to perfect these and increase speed (while not taking short cuts) they are each performing around 10 sets a week, so speed and precision is picking up.
I appreciate you all so so so much for being so wonderful, open and understanding while transitioning to having someone new doing your extensions. I know how hard it can be to trust someone new, but rest assured that the girls are being mentored and coached by someone (me) who truly lives and breathes for Blushington and it’s clients. You are in fantastic hands.
I cannot thank you enough
I opened Blushington in January 2021. I was the middle of COVID, I was 6 months pregnant with Tatum, and I was fueled by a whole lot of ‘what’s the worst that could happen?’
Turns out, nothing!
It was all the best things to happen. We grew a clientele who are truly like family and some of my best friends.
Some of you have followed “Taylor Maree”, from the spare room in my mum’s house, to 4 different rental houses, before Blushington was born. Some of you have been here since the beginning of the salon, and some are brand new.
You have seen my little dream grow, and my little family grow. None of this would be possible without your love and support, and I cannot thank you enough.
I cannot wait to get back onto the salon floor, but thank you for allowing me to take time off to be with the new little baby, whenever they decide to make their arrival.
love love love you all endlessly.
