The Skin BOUTIQUE<br />
Vicky Moini always envisioned<br />
a clinic that offered effective<br />
treatment solutions for a<br />
wide range of skin concerns.<br />
Six years ago, she and her<br />
husband opened The Skin<br />
Boutique. Vicky catches up<br />
with Michelle Ruzzene to talk<br />
about working with clients on<br />
their journey to better skin.<br />
Tell us about The Skin Boutique:<br />
“The Skin Boutique was founded in 2013 by my<br />
husband and I but our careers together began at<br />
one of Australia’s largest laser clinics which he<br />
had co-founded in 2008. This was an incredible<br />
experience and one that we were very fortunate to<br />
do together. However, the professional satisfaction<br />
for myself had hit a peak with only offering<br />
laser hair removal and I wanted a new challenge.<br />
Whether it’s someone that has never done<br />
anything for their skin or clients that regularly<br />
maintain their complexion, we believe in educating<br />
clients on all the available treatment options and<br />
creating a custom treatment plan that is tailored to<br />
their budget and timeframes.”<br />
How many staff do you have?<br />
“We started off with only three skin and laser specialists and with one location and<br />
we now have four locations with over 40 specialists and nurses. They range from<br />
being with us as new employees to staff of several months and long term staff.<br />
One of our first therapists now runs her own Skin Boutique in Elwood.”<br />
How do you keep your staff motivated?<br />
“To continue the enthusiasm and motivation of our staff purely comes down to<br />
the creation of treatments that will provide continued results for their clients.<br />
Our specialists also help with the collaboration of these treatments and we<br />
encourage open-mindedness when it comes to any new way we can work with<br />
our treatments and devices. It also comes down to<br />
training, continued development and self-development.<br />
We have a professional development coach who is<br />
working with our staff to educate them on areas of<br />
themselves that they can improve on.”<br />
