Meet the Team

JESS

I'm the owner here at Skin and Beauty Bar where it's now been 5 years!

I started in the industry straight out of school where I attended Elly Lukas.

Prior to this I guess you could say my passion started while watching YouTube videos on makeup tutorials.

11 years on now and instead of focusing on covering the skin it's all about what's underneath.

I'm still passionate as ever and love everything about the industry. The connections I've been able to make, the skills and information I've learnt to now share that with an amazing team is truly rewarding.

The brands we stock and use every day are carefully selected to meet our client results, working with you and your skin to find the root cause of any conditions that come our way.

I love all treatments if I’m being completely honest but being up in the skin rooms are my favourite. Working with clients and their skin. It's also very Zen!

My Ride or die products would have to be Beta Gel by DMK and Beauty oil by Lira (if you know you know) But honestly these two especially have changed my skin!

Some little facts about me on a more personal level

I come from a family of 7 children, where I sit right in the middle. Middle child syndrome is definitely a thing.

I struggle to stay still, always seeking the next adventure whether that's in Australia or international.

I'm a Passionate Dermal Clinician with a wealth of experience, having been in the industry since 2015.

I began my introduction to the beauty industry whilst I was completing my VCE beginning with my Certificate 2 in Retail Makeup and Skincare. After that I completed my Diploma of Beauty Therapy.

I left my hometown and started my journey working on a cruise ship travelling the world whilst working in the industry I love. Here I finally found my love for skin. This was the confidence boost I needed for my career and I learnt so much in my time onboard. It was then time for me to come home, so when Jess reached out to come work for Skin and Beauty Bar it was a no brainer.

I have now completed my bachelor of dermal science.

I am a true enthusiast of the DMK range and have a special love for the brands homecare products and treatments. My favourite treatment? Skin needling, which I believe offers incredible results for a multitude of skin concerns. When it comes to products nothing compares to the powerful effects of DMK's Firmatrix, my go-to for firming and revitalizing the skin

I am the biggest chatter box but dedicated to helping clients achieve their best skin, I strive to bring a blend of experience, passion, and a personal touch to every treatment.

I've recently built my first home with my partner so that's where you can find me if I'm not at work, but I am a little bit of a workaholic haha.

GEORGIA

I am an only child, my favourtie colour is black and I love Mexican and Margs

I originally use to be a client at Skin and Beauty Bar and decided to head down the pathway of beauty and skin after having facial treatments done by Jess. Prior to these treatments, I had just returned home from an overseas trip where I had neglected my skin and was struggling with acne. After I physically and mentally felt so much better about myself. It opened my eyes to the industry and I wanted to be apart of helping others. Allowing people to experience what I did.

So I ditched my job in the medical industry, completed my Diploma of Beauty Therapy and couldn’t be happier.

My favourite Beauty treatment would have to be Brow Dye and my favourite Skin treatment is the Hydrafacial.

My ride or die products would have to be DMK Revitosin and Lira Anti Aging Pads, the perfect at home treatment to smooth and correct.

Fun fact - I’m left handed and it’s a curse!

You'll often find I have to turn the bed around for body waxing

CLAIR

I've been passionate about everything beauty since I can remember.

After finishing year 12, I dove straight into studying beauty and completed my Beauty and Business dual Diploma at Elly Lukas. I've now been working in the industry for a year and my love only continues to grow.

I was originally a client at Skin and Beauty bar and always loved my experiences here and it inspired me to join the incredible team. I started here while studying my diploma and now work basically full time.

I struggled a lot with acne growing up so I understand how deeply it can affect your confidence and how frustrating it is to feel like you have tried everything.

Which now has inspired me to pursue my Associates Degree in Applied Health Science to become a Dermal Therapist, with plans to continue on to my Bachelor's.

I'm passionate about gaining a deeper understanding of the skin so I can help others overcome their own challenges and feel confident in their own skin.

I love all our treatments and making everyone more confident, but if I had to choose it would be the HydraFacial as it deeply cleanses the skin and leaves it super hydrated and glowy.

My all time favourite product is Beauty oil by Lira, if you have tried this I feel like it speaks for itself but its so luxurious and hydrating.

AVA

I started in the Industry when I was only 16 and love everything about it, the feeling of clients looking in the mirror and being obsessed with how they look and feel is truly the best feeling.

I knew I wanted to work in the industry while I was quite young but didnt know how know I did a beginners hair course in year 9 but soon found out that wasnt for me. I then went on and did a makeup course while in year 10/11 but new I need more, so I left school and did my diploma of beauty therapy at Elly Lukas.

While working doing all things beauty I decided I wanted to focus more on skin so I have now started studying my degree in Dermal Science.

I don't really have a specific favourite treatment but I love a crisp brow dye and a lash lift and tint as well, working more and more with skin I'm absolutely loving being up in the skin rooms to.

I've just started using Lira Clinical and loving the tinted SPF, I cant go a day without SPF!

My fun facts would be that my hair is naturally curly but no one knows this as I straighten it religiously or its up in a bun.

I have also recently caught the travel bug and can't wait to tick off more places around the world!

COURTNEY

I've been in the industry for 3 years now and I love it. I started working in laser clinics and wasn't until I started working at Skin and beauty bar I found my true niche I love the beauty industry as it's a job where I can see and treat all my favourite people and not having it feel like I'm working.

My favourite treatments to do are lash lifts and Brow Laminations because the transformations are unmatched. They become an addiction!

My favourite product to use would be Super Serum by DMK, it is a must have in my routine as my skin can get dry and I'm prone to pigmentation.

In my own time, my partner and I love to go on camping trips and explore our beautiful country, most recently we have spent some time travelling the peninsulas' of SA.

I feel most at peace in nature.

I'm also a huge animal lover, I've got a fur baby named Maizie, she's my little rock.

Courtney is currently on Mat leave after having her beauty baby girl, Bobbi
