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.
