Leoni Rawle

Leoni Rawle has lived in Broadwindsor for 19 years and is Mum to two grown up girls.
“I’ve worked in the care industry for many years and I’ve enjoyed having my nails done for many years too. I realised that many people enjoy their nails being done but are unable to get to salons for many different reasons – so I thought it’s a service I could offer people.”

Leoni  qualified as a nail technician in September 2021 having trained locally under Toni Rodway, owner of The Painted Nail at Redlands Yard.

Operating as Nailslz and with no salon overheads to consider… Leoni’s prices are competitive too,

  • Pedicure with gel polish – £25 (1 hour, 30 mins)
  • Pedicure – no polish – £15 (1 hour)
  • Manicure with gel polish – £20
  • Acrylic extensions – £35 (2 hours, 30 mins)

The FULL LIST of services offered can be found HERE on the Nailsiz Facebook page.

Restrain Your Dog In Your Vehicle Else Pay A Fine

Rule 57 of the Highway Code states: “When in a vehicle make sure dogs or other animals are suitably restrained so they cannot distract you while you are driving or injure you, or themselves if you stop quickly. A seat belt harness, pet carrier, dog cage or dog guard are ways of safely restraining animals in cars.”

Being in breach of this advice can see drivers facing on the spot fines of up to £1,000, a maximum fine of £5,000, nine points on their license and even a driving ban and compulsory retest.

According to the RAC, the Highway Code itself is not a legal document and the rules outlined in it are not official road laws. However, “A number of the points outlined in the Code are backed up by official traffic laws, meaning you can be fined, prosecuted or disqualified if you ignore them.”
