I have seen a lot of new faces in clinic recently so I thought I would re-introduce myself 👋 Everyone who knows me knows I am a chronic over-sharer so here we go…
My name is Selby, I am the proud owner of The Face Base (formerly known as Selby Aesthetics.)
I grew up on a 7000acre grain and sheep farm 3 hours inland from Perth and came here to boarding school when I was 11.
Little 17 year old me dreamt of being a nurse, and when I started working in the hospital I very quickly realised it wasn’t for me. Fast forward to now, I have been a full time cosmetic injector for 11 years and a business owner for 5 of those years!! (Wow that makes me feel old but proud 🥹).
Being a business owner was never something that was in my long term plan but alas here we are, and boy oh boy what a journey it has been.
The sheer amount of learning curves I have been through in the last 5 years is something I cannot even explain. The amount of sacrifice, tears, doubts, crippling anxiety & panic attacks and just plain questioning of what I had gotten myself into.
It has not been (and probably won’t ever be) easy being a business owner. But I will tell you one thing for free- it is worth it. For the beautiful patients I get to see every day, for the staff I get to teach and share my knowledge with, for the flexibility it has given me in many aspects of my life. The list goes on.
So here we are, 5 years deep into a journey I hope lives on for years to come. If you have been to The Face Base, you will understand I treat everyone like family and I expect my staff to do the same. For you to feel welcomed, heard and at ease.
It goes without saying but I cannot thank you enough for your support🤎
