Descriptiontext

Raquel's Skin Care Centre is a privately held, single-location beauty therapy and skincare retailer operating from 68 Edwardes Street, Reservoir in northern Melbourne, Australia. The business, established around 2000 by founder-proprietor Raquel and operating continuously for more than 20 years, delivers an in-salon service menu spanning facials (including microdermabrasion, peels, and Derma Pen skin needling), hair removal via IPL and electrolysis, radio frequency skin tightening, body contouring, waxing and threading, makeup application (bridal and party), body treatments and massage, spray tanning, manicure/pedicure, and tinting, lifting, and extension services. Treatment delivery relies on industry-standard hardware rather than proprietary technology, including an Australian-made PhotonSmart TGA-approved medical-grade LED light therapy system, IPL machines, RF devices, microdermabrasion units, and electrolysis equipment. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer, concentrated in the Melbourne metropolitan area, supported by organic social on Facebook and Instagram, an e-newsletter, a promotions blog, 24/7 online booking via mylocalsalon.com.au, and a Shopify storefront selling third-party skincare brands (Skinstitut, Sothys, Pure Fiji, Ocosmedics, Cote Noire).

Revenue is generated through three streams: per-treatment service fees ranging from roughly $15 (lip wax) to $280 (Derma Pen) with package and series discounts, retail sale of third-party skincare products in-salon and online, and digital gift vouchers sold in $25-$200 denominations and valid for six months. Pricing is predominantly pay-as-you-go at unit level across all categories, with consultative add-ons (patch tests, consultations redeemable against first treatment) and student/men's pricing tiers on waxing. The business is founder-owned and operated, has no disclosed institutional funding, no subsidiaries, and no parent company. Headcount sits in the 11-50 band, with no published revenue, no AI/ML capabilities, and no patents, awards, or regulatory actions on record.
