Our Team

  • Lauren Clymo - Owner / Director

    Lauren is where the vision of Skin Avenue began. She has over 8 years of experience working as a Cosmetic Nurse, ensuring a natural and undetectable result for every client.

    Lauren opened holistic skin clinic ‘Skin Avenue’ in November 2020 and since then has created a team of skin-loving professionals to perform advanced treatments such as: Morpheus8, laser genesis, IPL, clinical facials, permanent fat reduction and cosmetic medicine.

    When Lauren is not working her craft at the clinic, she can be found spending time with her two English Staffy babies, Rex and Charlie.

    Lauren is renown for her knowledge and advanced skill-set within the aesthetics industry. She is a highly sought after Cosmetic Nurse, often booked out for months in advance.

  • Julia Zerafa - Registered Cosmetic Nurse

    Julia is one of our Cosmetic Nurses at Skin Avenue, always offering a warm and welcoming experience for all of her clients.

    Julia always gives her honest expert advise during every consultation and she explains everything very thoroughly. She has a gentle approach, ensuring her clients are always comfortable during their procedures.

    Something that is so amazing about Julia is that she can juggle so many different roles. When she is not working at Skin Avenue, she can be found working in the Emergency Department where she is faced with all kinds of challenges. She is also a super talented Makeup Artist! On top of these 3 jobs, we think Julia could also make an amazing event manager as she is always planning our next team event.

    Outside of work, Julia is a fur-mum of an adorable Spanish Water Dog named Lola and cat Khaleesi.
