Skin + Wax: A Legacy of Excellence in Skincare

By Louise May

This year marks a major milestone for Skin + Wax, its 12th birthday. Over the past decade, the clinic has grown from a two-person operation into a thriving, seven-figure business, delivering exceptional skincare services to a loyal clientele. Tammy’s unwavering dedication, combined with the hard work of her team, has solidified Skin + Wax as a leader in the industry.

A Vision Brought to Life

Twelve years ago, Tammy embarked on a bold mission, to redefine skincare in Hervey Bay. Armed with little more than a credit card and an unwavering passion, she founded Skin + Wax, a small two-person salon with big ambitions. Today, it has evolved into a multi-award-winning clinic, delivering unparalleled results-driven skin treatments while creating an exceptional client experience.

Nestled in a prime beachfront location, the clinic has grown into an elite team of eight highly skilled therapists, all sharing the same commitment to transforming skincare into an experience. What started as an innovative brow bar and paramedical skin clinic has since become an industry leader, earning national recognition, including being a finalist in the 2020 Small Business Champion Awards.

International Training & Expertise

Tammy’s expertise is world-class, with training experiences spanning some of the most renowned beauty capitals, including London. Her time studying advanced techniques in the UK’s prestigious beauty institutions has provided her with a global perspective on skincare. The influence of Harley Street specialists and industry pioneers has shaped her approach, ensuring that clients at Skin + Wax receive only the most cutting-edge treatments backed by scientific research.

The Family Touch: A Legacy in the Making

At Skin + Wax, family is at the heart of the business. Tammy’s daughters, Madison and Mackenzie, have joined the team, each bringing their own expertise and energy to the clinic.

Madison, with her meticulous attention to detail and natural ability to make clients feel at ease, has become a standout skin expert, known for her transformative treatments. Meanwhile, Mackenzie has carved a niche in brow artistry and social media marketing, ensuring the clinic stays ahead in both beauty trends and digital engagement. Together, they represent a new generation of skin specialists, blending traditional expertise with modern techniques to ensure Skin + Wax remains at the forefront of the industry.

A Powerhouse Team Driving Success

Behind Skin + Wax is a team of dedicated professionals, each bringing unique strengths to the business:

• Joe & Cherie, the management duo, keep operations smooth and efficient, with Cherie excelling in strategic planning while Joe fosters a positive and collaborative workplace culture.

• Jess, the in-house laser expert, ensures technical excellence in advanced treatments.

• Lily, the newest team member, adds fresh energy to the clinic’s dynamic environment.

A strong focus on training and professional development ensures that the Skin + Wax team remains highly skilled and up to date with industry advancements, delivering cutting-edge treatments with confidence.

The Skin + Wax Experience: More Than Just Skincare

Every aspect of the Skin + Wax experience is designed to be seamless, professional, and results-oriented:

• Personalised Consultations: Advanced skin diagnostics, including the Observe Skin Scanner, allow therapists to develop customised treatment plans tailored to individual needs.

• Bespoke Treatments: The clinic incorporates the latest in LED therapy, chemical peels, and skin rejuvenation.

• Client-Centric Aftercare: A 12-week personalised messenger sequence ensures clients feel supported long after their appointment.

This highly personalised approach is what sets Skin + Wax apart, creating long-term relationships with clients who trust in the clinic’s expertise and innovation.

Circadia: The Ultimate Skincare Partner

When it comes to skincare brands, Circadia was the perfect fit for Skin + Wax. After observing the brand for five years, Tammy was convinced that Circadia’s science-backed formulations and emphasis on skin’s natural biological rhythms aligned perfectly with her clinic’s philosophy.

Circadia’s chronobiology-based approach ensures that treatments work in sync with the body’s natural renewal cycles. Some of the clinic’s most sought-after Circadia treatments and products include:

• Oxygen RX Professional Treatment – Perfect for sensitive and acneprone skin, delivering incredible results.

• Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser – A gentle yet effective everyday cleanser.

• Light Day Sunscreen – A lightweight, protective formula adored by clients.

Unlike other brands, Circadia restricts online sales, ensuring that only trained professionals can prescribe and provide these high-quality skincare solutions. This exclusive approach guarantees clients receive expert guidance tailored to their unique skin concerns.

Leading the Way in Wellness: Totally Derma & Mineralist Cosmetics

Beyond skincare treatments, Skin + Wax is expanding its wellness offerings as the exclusive Australian distributor of Totally Derma Regenerative Collagen Supplements. This revolutionary product is science-backed and doctor-recommended, supporting skin, hair, nails, joints, and gut health—a perfect complement to the clinic’s resultsdriven approach.

Additionally, Skin + Wax is enhancing its mineral cosmetics line, Mineralist Cosmetics, which aligns with the clinic’s commitment to clean beauty. These Australian-made, cruelty-free products offer flawless coverage while nourishing and protecting the skin, providing clients with a holistic beauty experience.

Looking to the Future: Expanding Excellence

The next 12 months hold exciting plans for Skin + Wax, including:

• Menopause Coaching: Providing specialised skin treatments tailored for hormonal changes.

• Oncology Skin Treatments: Introducing a new range of cancer-safe skincare solutions.

• Technology Upgrades: Expanding treatment options with HiFu and HydraFacial technologies.

• Industry Engagement: Entering the ABIA Awards and attending the Beauty Expo to stay ahead in the field.

Tammy is also furthering her expertise by enrolling in a Bachelor of Nursing, reinforcing her commitment to holistic, science-backed skincare. Additionally, she is securing her laser license to continue upskilling her team and expanding treatment capabilities.

A Clinic Defined by Passion & Innovation

Twelve years on, Skin + Wax is more than just a skincare clinic—it is a symbol of transformation, expertise, and industry leadership. With a dedicated team, cutting-edge treatments, and a steadfast commitment to excellence, it continues to push boundaries in professional skincare and beauty.
