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
Hi, I’m Natalia, and I’ve been in the beauty industry for 15 years. What started as a curiosity about beauty treatments for myself quickly turned into a passion for advanced dermal therapies. I love helping clients with challenging skin concerns and seeing the transformative results. My favourite treatments are anything skin-related—especially intense ones like Hydrafacials, which give instant results when paired with LED therapy. But I also believe in balance, so I enjoy offering relaxing, less invasive treatments as well.
At Lush Skin and Body, I’m constantly inspired by our innovative treatment menu and the opportunity to keep learning. The team here is amazing, and I’m proud to work in an environment where we all come together to provide our clients with the best possible service. I’m also a huge fan of iS Clinical, with the Warming Honey Cleanser and Active Serum being my go-to for deep cleansing, smoothing, and brightening.
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!
Samantha
Senior Brow Specialist | Beauty Therapist
Holly
Receptionist | Emerging Beauty Therapist
Hi, I’m Holly, and I’m in my first year in the beauty industry. Growing up as a dancer surrounded by makeup, tans, and bold lashes and brows, I developed a passion for beauty. I love how treatments can boost confidence and create self-love, which inspired me to start doing my own brows, and eventually helping my family.
My favorite treatment to give is a lash lift because it provides a natural yet elevated look, making mornings so much easier. I’m all about brows when it comes to treatments I love receiving, and my go-to products are iS Clinical Eclipse Tinted Sunscreen and Cleansing Complex. What I love most about working at Lush is the incredible support and opportunities I’ve had as a beginner, surrounded by an amazing team in a beautiful, luxurious space.
Chelsea
Beauty & Spa Therapist
Hi, I’m Chelsea, and I’ve been in the beauty industry for almost four years. From a young age, I taught myself beauty treatments, and at 16, I enrolled in a Certificate III in Beauty Services. I loved the course so much that I went on to complete my Diploma in Beauty Therapy. After exploring different roles in the industry, I found Lush, which perfectly aligns with everything I was looking for, and I’m excited to continue growing with the team.
Massage is my favourite treatment. It’s so rewarding to help clients release stress and tension, leaving them feeling relaxed and happier. I love working at Lush because of the variety of treatments we offer and the incredible, supportive team I get to work with. I’m excited for the future and my continued growth as a therapist here.
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.
