Bridgetown, Barbados – July 16, 2024 – The Atelier by Seven Blooms,
Barbados’ membership-based nail spa, proudly celebrates its fifth anniversary
with the announcement of the inaugural Battle of the Nails Competition. Since
its inception, The Atelier by Seven Blooms has redefined the nail industry in
Barbados, combining exceptional nail artistry with a commitment to self-care
and community.
Founded by Charlene Garnes-Pilgrim, The Atelier by Seven Blooms began as a
personal journey of passion and resilience. “My love for nails started way
before 2019,” Charlene reflects. “After experiencing the loss of my brother, I
realized how much I was taking for granted, especially my time and my talents.
In 2019, I relaunched my nail business with a renewed sense of purpose and
Seven Blooms was born.”
Over the past five years, The Atelier by Seven Blooms has created countless
memorable moments. From taking clients at a friend’s salon to transforming her
home into a welcoming space, Charlene’s dedication has fostered a loyal
clientele. Notably, the launch of The Nail Slay Club, which evolved into the
Seven Blooms Lifestyle Memberships, has redefined the client-tech relationship
by offering a true self-care experience.
Originally known as Seven Blooms Beauty Studio, the business has transformed
into The Atelier by Seven Blooms, a motivational self-care subscription and
membership-based nail spa. With unique offerings like the GGK Subscription
and various Lifestyle Memberships, including the Nail Garden Club and Chic
Girl Birthday Club, The Atelier by Seven Blooms stands out as the only one of
its kind in Barbados.
Charlene acknowledges the pillars in her life, including her son, sister, husband,
and mentors, for their unwavering support. “I am thankful for the ladies who
continue to choose Seven Blooms; they are my MVPs,” she says.
To celebrate its fifth anniversary, The Atelier by Seven Blooms is thrilled to
introduce the Battle of the Nails Competition. “I wanted to celebrate others and
give nail technicians in Barbados a platform to showcase their talent,” Charlene
explains.
The online competition features six categories open to nail technicians of
varying skill levels, as well as a special category for aspiring or beginner nail
techs aged 16 to 19. Participants will submit photos of their work, which will be
judged based on criteria such as nail shape, cuticle work, apex, structure, and
creativity.
Esteemed guest judges include Renee Norville, Dymond Brown, Rena Boothe,
and Celebrity Nail Artist Celeste Hampton. With the potential for additional
guest judges, the competition promises to be an exciting event for the local nail
community.
Looking ahead, Charlene envisions the growth of The Atelier by Seven Blooms
beyond its current micro spa status. She also hopes to see the Battle of the Nails
Competition become a highly anticipated annual event, potentially evolving into
an expo for nail techs and self-care enthusiasts.
