How SkinBase Started

SkinBase was started in 2005 by Brother and Sister Richard and Leesa Faulkner. At the time, Richard was busy running a successful storage company (and still is!). Leesa had her high street salon. With business in their blood (their parents are also business owners), these two were always destined to do something a little different!

SkinBase was started in 2005 by Brother and Sister Richard and Leesa Faulkner. At the time, Richard was busy running a successful storage company (and still is!). Leesa had her high street salon. With business in their blood (their parents are also business owners), these two were always destined to do something a little different!

SkinBase Microdermabrasion

The idea for SkinBase came because of Leesa’s problems with the microdermabrasion machine she owned at the time. A great money maker but plagued by issues and losing her valuable time and profits. Leesa’s father, a qualified engineer, stepped in. Convinced he could make something better and more reliable, he set about doing just that.

SkinBase was formed.

Richard’s natural salesmanship, drive and positive attitude coupled with Leesa’s calm and confident manner as a trainer was a recipe for success. The company flourished. The SkinBase HQ was Richard’s home office, where he rang salon leads to offer the two-week free trial. Meanwhile Leesa was out on the road training up and down the country.

2008 Recession

However, it wasn’t without its setbacks, as in 2008 the double-dip recession hit. But, as ever, Richard looked for a way to put a positive spin on a difficult situation, and our first PAYG machines hit the market. For a £0 deposit and £0 investment, a free two-week trial and training, salons could ride the recession and come out on top. And they did! Richard proved beauty treatments are not something clients want to just give up, even in a recession! And that is how SkinBase started.

SkinBase Pay As You Go

PAYG is now by far the most popular choice amongst salon owners, with therapists choosing to rent machines in return for SkinBase’s award-winning customer support. Hassle-free, no ongoing servicing and consumable costs, no hidden charges. The microdermabrasion machine was our first step into salon equipment (but not our last!), and you can find out more in the next blog in our series.

Ageing Skin, Collagen Lift

Sammy’s Cosmetic Aesthetics

Client Testimonial: “I have just finished the Collagen Lift course, and wow the results are amazing. My skin feels and looks tighter, my enlarged pores are now no longer, and my lines are minimal compared to what they were. The Collagen Lift procedure is none evasive and can be catered to you personally through the heat levels, great if you’re feeling delicate. Sam was amazing, not only was she friendly, attentive and very informative, She made me feel calm and relaxed throughout. Before the treatment I was aware of the signs of ageing on my face and was very conscious of it and people looking at me, now I ooze with confidence and self esteem. I like me again. I will certainly be booking again without hesitation to keep on top of the amazing results I have obtained from this procedure. I can’t thank Sam and her Collagen Lift enough. Brilliant 5 star treatment and results.”
