Some of WA’s best cosmetics clinics and therapists have been honoured for their success at the inaugural WA Skin, Spa, Aesthetics and Beauty Awards.
More than 300 guests gathered at The Ritz-Carlton to celebrate the awards co-founded by Laura Smyth and Elke Richter, who wanted to give WA’s skin, spa, aesthetics and beauty industry its own platform for recognition.
The awards attracted 150 entries from metropolitan and regional businesses and professionals, with WA now the only State in Australia to have its own industry awards.
One of the night’s standout successes was Skin ResQ Perth and Caryll Wiggers, who received three awards, including the WASSABA Excellence Award, Skin/Aesthetic Clinic of the Year and Skin/Dermal Therapist of the Year.
B Aesthetics also celebrated two wins, while regional business Skin Geraldton was named Emerging Business of the Year.
The Beauty Therapist of the Year went to Rebekah Glen from B Aesthetics and Jules O’Driscoll from Sole Revival Skin & Body Clinic was named Spa Therapist of the Year.
