Scratch Nail & Beauty Salon in Stourbridge, West Midlands, marked 20 years in business with an ‘Emerald Party’ for clients and staff.
The celebration on 8 June encouraged a glamorous dress code, and clients who have supported the business were invited for complimentary drinks and to take part in a raffle, with treatments as prizes.
Owner, Chantal Welvaert, took over the salon from its previous owner 10 years ago, when she was 23. She has since expanded the salon’s offerings to include nail, beauty, holistic and aesthetic services, and boasts a team of six nail pros, two beauty therapists and a skincare specialist.

“I am always looking for ways to grow the salon business, and credit my team largely for its success,” Chantal comments. “They are friendly and professional and present themselves immaculately in their salon uniforms. Each team member brings valuable skills and traits to the business and we welcome a very loyal client base.”
Nail treatments include gel and L&P enhancements, and the ‘Designer Manicure’: including Hermès, Chanel or Gucci products.
“Consistency, professionalism and creating a comfortable environment are important factors at Scratch, and clients also enjoy the Champagne Bar – which is a talking point!”
The Scratch Nail & Beauty Salon team raise funds for charity each year, and donated £2,000 to Guide Dogs in May 2024, completing a half marathon walk from Stourport to the salon premises. The salon also reached the finals of the Scratch Stars Awards in 2020.
“My hopes and goals for the next 20 years for Scratch Nail & Beauty Salon are to keep standards high, continue learning and training, and potentially open a second salon.”
