Carly
Senior Beauty Therapist | Operations Manager
I've been a beauty therapist for just over 10 years. My journey started in high school, where I enjoyed creating colourful and fun makeup looks for my friends.
This passion led me to study makeup, which extended to skin, beauty services, and massage.
Transforming my clients' skin and giving them more confidence makes my week. Providing any treatment that allows my clients to take a moment to relax away from life's busyness is rewarding.
When I'm not in the salon, you can find me chasing after my daughter at the park, trying to prevent her from opening the same drawer 100 times or posting on the Lush Skin and Body social media.
Monica
Senior Beauty Therapist | Management
I started my career in Beauty back in 2015.
I've always been passionate about skincare and helping others feel their best. Becoming a beauty therapist felt like a natural extension of that passion, allowing me to combine my interests in beauty, wellness, and helping people feel confident and cared for in their skin.
When I’m not in the salon, I’m usually up bright and early, running around Perth and prepping for my next Marathon!
Leah
Salon Co-ordinator | Management
Hi, I’m Leah! I’ve been in the beauty industry for 20 years, and my passion for this field has only grown stronger over time. When I first started, my goal was to help people feel good about themselves and enjoy a little pampering. Now, my role has evolved into something even more meaningful, and I truly love every aspect of what I do.
What I love most about Lush Skin and Body is the diversity of my role as Salon Coordinator. I get to work alongside Laura and an incredible team while connecting with our wonderful clients, who make every day so special.
I look forward to seeing you at Lush and helping make your experience unforgettable!
Peyton
Beauty & Spa Therapist
I’ve been in the beauty industry for almost three years and love what I do. For me, it’s not just about skincare—it’s about creating a space where clients can fully relax and leave feeling more confident and refreshed.
I specialise in relaxing facials and spa treatments. I love helping people de-stress and float out the door, feeling completely renewed. My favourite treatment is the Foaming Enzyme Facial—it always leaves my skin feeling so fresh!
I can’t live without iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum and Warming Honey Cleanser. They’re my daily go-to's, no matter the weather or skin concerns.
I can’t wait to welcome you into the salon and help you relax, unwind, and feel your absolute best!
Natalia
Senior Dermal Therapist
I have worked in the beauty industry as a skin/dermal specialist for over 12 years.
My favourite part is the consultation process. It’s rewarding to listen to people talk about their concerns and know you can help them. It’s really important to me to educate throughout this process and make this change an easy part of my client’s lifestyle.
Sharn
Senior Beauty Therapist
I worked as a spa assistant when I was younger, and I loved the atmosphere in the spa. I enjoyed learning about the constantly changing beauty industry.
I am passionate about making people look and feel their best, so whatever your concern is, I love helping my clients achieve their beauty goals. From giving princess-worthy pedicures to shaping brand-new eyebrows, improving your skin, or relieving aching muscles, I love all aspects of beauty.
Caity
Senior Dermal Therapist
I have been interested in beauty since I was a child. I watched my mum getting ready with all her potions. I was in awe of her taking care of herself.
Nearly 11 years ago, I started my beauty journey being mainly in spa treatments and then transitioned into a dermal therapist. I love taking care of my clients' skin and their souls. I can see results and build personal relationships with my clients, all while making them feel nourished from the inside out. I fully believe in approaching my clients wholeheartedly and in a holistic way. I am fully in love with my job!

Taylah - currently on extended leave
Skin Therapist
I have been in the beauty industry for 3.5 years. I was drawn to becoming a beauty therapist because I love helping people feel confident in their skin.
My favourite treatment is skin needling because it's stunning for all skin concerns and rejuvenation. Interestingly, it's also my favourite treatment on myself!
Working at Lush is a delight because the team feels like family, and the work environment is simply lovely to be a part of.
