Important July dates for your nail & beauty business

Get your business prepared for the month of July, with our roundup of dates to note…
UV Safety Month
Each July, UV Safety Month serves to educate the public about the importance of protecting themselves from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly in the summer months when UV intensity is at its highest.
It’s an apt time to help clients understand how they can adopt practical sun safe habits, like using SPF, as well as ensure your knowledge is up-to-date. The UV Safety Initiative was recently launched by the British Beauty Council, and aims to boost industry knowledge around suncare, SPF and the risks of UV radiation. There is also training you can take part in – UK skin cancer charity, Skcin, offers online courses to help professionals spot the early signs of skin cancer in clients. Get involved here.
1st-7th: Create Week
Creative arts charity, Create, is using this week to spread awareness of the importance of creativity and benefits of the creative arts. The week will feature an online campaign inviting people to engage with daily activities and use the hashtag #CreateWeek to spread the word.
Why not get involved by designing a Create Week-themed nail look using the campaign’s colours and logos? Be sure to tag the charity and encourage your fellow nail techs to join in! You can also take part in Scratch’s Creative Challenge on Wednesday 2 July to embrace your creative skills. Keep your eyes peeled for its launch on our Instagram.
Until 13th: Wimbledon
The iconic British tennis tournament continues into July. Keep excitement high by sharing Wimbledon-inspired nail art designs on your social media pages. Whether you hand-paint a tennis racket or create a strawberries and cream-inspired look, themed manicures are sure to boost engagement.

4th: Independence Day
Independence Day, commonly referred to as the Fourth of July, marks the anniversary of the United States declaring independence in 1776. It is the US’ national day and is celebrated with parades, concerts and firework displays. Market nail styles featuring dazzling firework art and patriotic symbols on social media and salon mood boards, to inspire nail choices for those celebrating.

7th: World Chocolate Day
World Chocolate Day is celebrated each year, encouraging chocolate enthusiasts globally to enjoy and share their passion for chocolate. Encourage clients to opt for a good-enough-to-eat design by sharing chocolate brown nail looks to your social media channels.

24th: International Self-care Day
There’s a meaningful reason why 24/07 is International Self-care Day: because self-care can be practiced ’24 hours a day/7 days a week’. 24 June marks the start of Self-care Month, which ends with this event. It is designed to empower people to take care of all aspects of their health and wellbeing.
Your role as a nail and beauty pro involves supporting the self-care needs of each client, but this day provides an opportunity to really promote the wellbeing benefits of your services, both in-person and in marketing materials. It’s also an apt time to consider your own wellbeing and ways to enhance it at the nail desk. Click here for 7 top tips to do just that.
24th: 24/7 Samaritans Awareness Day
Championed by the Samaritans, a charity well-known for its emotional support services, the day reminds individuals that help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for anyone struggling, or experiencing feelings of despair or loneliness. The event seeks to break stigmas surrounding mental health and encourage people to seek support.
Encourage clients to open up by resharing information about the Samaritans’ services on social media. With the charity’s logo being green, you could also wear green on the day to show your support, offer green nail designs and donate a portion of profits to the charity.
