Transformation 26 Finalist: Emma at The Beauty Barn
Emma has been in business at the Beauty Barn in Pinwall for the last 4 years, and has been a SkinBase Therapist for 3 of them. She is an AYCE therapist, also offering SkinBase Microdermabrasion, Hydro and Intense Pulsed Light.
Q: What challenges did the client face before starting their SkinBase journey?
“My client came to me feeling self-conscious about her stomach after having a baby. Even though she was very slim, she felt very conscious about the stomach area. So, that’s what we wanted to improve the appearance of, and give her some more confidence again.”
Q: At the consultation stage, what made you confident the client would be suitable for SkinBase Collagen Lift?
“During the consultation it was clear that her main concerns were the lack of firmness in her stomach area. As SkinBase Collagen Lift is specifically designed for skin tightening and to support collagen production, I was confident it would be a suitable treatment for her. We talked through the results she wanted to achieve and I felt that it matched her needs really well.”
Q: At what point did you/they start to see noticeable changes in their skin?
“I had noticed a significant difference at the third appointment. When we were taking her photos before the treatment, I could see straight away that there had been an improvement since her previous session. The area looked noticeably firmer and it was really exciting to see those results starting to come through so early in the course.”

Q: What key habits did the client commit to that made the biggest difference?
“She was already looking after herself with a healthy diet and good hydration but I think the biggest influence on her results was her consistency. She came in once or twice a week and really committed to the treatment plan because she was so regular with her appointments we were able to see results much more quickly.”
Q: What is your number one skincare tip for maintaining a fresh, glowing complexion year-round?
“For me, the biggest skincare tip is that your skin reflects your lifestyle. Eating a healthy diet, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep and of course protecting your skin with an SPF every day all contribute to a fresh, glowing complexion. Consistency is the key. It’s the little things you do every day that make the big difference over time.”
Q: How did documenting progress help both you and your client? Any tips for getting great before-and-after shots?
“Before and after photos are so important. The results were actually much more noticeable in the photos than they were day to day. When you look at yourself every day, you don’t always see the gradual changes but when you compare the images side by side, the differences are amazing. My biggest tip is to keep the photos consistent. Same lighting, same pose, at the same angles every time. The best way to accurately capture the progress and results.”
Q: As a finalist, what’s your top tip for salons talking to clients about the competition?
“When I started the client’s treatment journey, I wasn’t really thinking about entering the competition at all. It was only when I saw the incredible results that I felt that they deserved to be recognised. I built a really good rapport with my client throughout her treatment. So when the time came, I simply explained that SkinBase runs a competition and asked whether she would be happy for me to submit her photos. She was delighted and agreed because she was really pleased with the results and the transformation she had achieved.”
Q: What advice would you give to therapists thinking about entering the Transformation of the Year competition?
“My advice for anybody thinking about applying for the competition is to go for it. If you’ve achieved genuine results and have good photos, documentation of your results then do it. The application process is really straightforward and it is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your results.”
Q: How has the Transformation of the Year competition benefitted your business?
“The Transformation of the Year competition has been really beneficial to my business. SkinBase Collagen Lift was already a popular treatment within my salon but becoming a finalist has given me the extra level of credibility when talking to both existing and new clients.”
