Strategy

 Geographical Expansion:

They currently have over 40,000 registered clients across our clinics in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, London and Bradford, and they’re continuing to expand into other regions nationwide.

Growth Focused mainly through Franchising:

SkinHQ is looking for franchise and joint venture partnerships to help deliver professional treatments at an affordable price – ‘cos everyone deserves to look and feel incredible.

Invested in the latest technological tools in Beauty Treatment:

In laser sessions, they use Cynosure Elite combining the Alexandrite laser, which is the gold standard for treating white skin, and the Nd: YAG, which is the gold standard for Asian and Black skin. This combination produces the ultimate system for safe and effective hair removal for all skin types

Partnerships with luxury clinical brands:

They promote iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial peeling product for deep face cleansing, skin reconstruction and age prevention. It is about one of the most reputable UK brands and through the partnership’s promotion they transfer iS Clinical brand features “luxurious and A-lister” to their brand name.

Ambitions

• Further Geographical Expansion both nationwide and internationally
• Acquisition of Larger Market share through Franchising

• Both Men & Women – but mostly women
• Teenagers (they offer extensive acne treatments)
• Adults

Customer Testimonials on their website:

“I visited last week to get the Liberty Laser Hair Removal treatment and the entire process was amazing. Staff were so professional and made me feel super comfortable, I’ll 100% go and would recommend to anyone considering.”

Charlotte Bradbury-Manchester

“Have just had my first “holiday package” laser session in Campden done by Emily. I have had laser before so knew what to expect but Emily was the nicest therapist I’ve had. She was so gentle, yet thorough (what you want with laser) and she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Really happy I have found such a lovely therapist and I’m looking forward to my next session already J Thank you!”

Aesthetic therapist (Former Employee) – Manchester, Greater Manchester – 10 February 2020 (5/5)

The best for career progression

SkinHQ were great to me in my 2 years of employment. They trained me as if I was starting new in the industry and I already had 5 years worth of experience. The training I received from SkinHQ was by far the best I have ever received.

I have decided to work abroad in Dubai and they have supported me in getting my new recruitment opportunity. I am sure I will work at SkinHQ once I come back.”

Pros

Amazing training

Cons

A lot of commitment

Aesthetic Therapist (Former Employee) – UK – 22 September 2019 (1/5)

“worst company to work for

company has no respect for their employees or clients

faulty lasers in rooms with no ventilation, coolers broken since the clinic opened, no stock – we were asked to do treatments on cheap substitutes,

manager has no skills (blames clients for getting burns when unexperienced staff pretends to do the treatments properly) / experience

you have to beg to get paid and yet there is always something they deduct for no reason and tell you it s for your own good…

rude MD, when bullied by one of the managers- no action taken just he gave the advice to be nice to the bully”

Pros

none

Cons

everything, hours, pay, environment you re expected to work

Regional Manager (Former Employee) – Birmingham – 24 July 2019 (1/5)

“Stay clear of this shambles!

Stay clear of this unorganised and badly managed company! U have to fight for ur salary! Any excuse to deduct money from you every month! The MD has no manners and is extremely arrogant and rude with zero respect for his staff! No one is valued and everyone is replaceable to them! By far the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life!” 

Pros

Non!

Cons
