KAT MARTYN:

HELPING SKIN

& BEAUTY

BUSINESSES

TURN TALENT

INTO PROFIT

KAT MARTYN

MEET

Founder of The Face Tonic, has built a strong

reputation as a business mentor for skin and beauty

professionals who are ready to move beyond

inconsistent income, undercharging, and working

harder than they need to. Through her mentoring,

Kat helps clinic and beauty business owners turn

their skills into real profit with clear structure,

strategy, and systems that work.

Having built her own business from the ground up in

the skin industry, Kat understands the challenges

many talented therapists face. She believes success

is not about skill alone, but about knowing how to

run a profitable business. After spending 15 years

working in corporate London, Kat now uses her

background in sales and marketing to help clients

achieve stronger financial results and long-term

growth.

Kat works with business owners at different stages,

whether they want to create consistent £7K months

or scale to £20K+ with a sustainable business model.

Her current focus is helping clinic owners make

money now while building something that lasts.

Among her core programmes is Clinic Launch Lab,

designed for clinic owners who want to step away

from

treating

clients

themselves

while

still

generating revenue. In this programme, Kat and her

team train staff in sales, marketing, and social media.

She also offers Scale Up Society, aimed at solo skin

and beauty business owners who want to earn £7K a

month while working part-time and creating a

business that fits around family life.

Another standout programme is £3K on Repeat,

which focuses on building predictable monthly

income

through

her

membership

method,

without constantly chasing new clients.

At the heart of Kat’s business is helping women

charge properly, earn more, work less, and still

deliver incredible client results. She teaches

practical systems that help owners convert

enquiries into paying clients, create repeat

business,

build

steady

income,

and

use

Instagram as a tool for attracting clients rather

than simply gaining likes.

Many of Kat’s clients come to her feeling fully

booked but still struggling financially, unsure

how to grow, or frustrated that their marketing

efforts are not bringing results. Others feel

uncomfortable when it comes to selling their

services. Through her mentoring, Kat helps

identify the gaps, simplify the process, and

create results quickly.

For Kat, business should feel exciting and

rewarding. She is passionate about helping

clinic owners rediscover the love for their

business while creating something that works

both financially and mentally.

Exclusive Interview

F O U N D E R O F T H E F A C E T O N I C

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST “RED FLAG” YOU SEE IN

CLINICS?

“Busy all the time… but no money to show for it.

I see it all the time, fully booked diaries, long days, no

gaps… but when you actually look at the numbers, the

profit isn’t there.

They’re undercharging, over-delivering, and relying on

constant new bookings just to keep things going. There’s

no structure behind it, no real plan just “stay busy and

hope for the best.”

From the outside it looks successful, but behind the scenes

it’s stressful, inconsistent, and exhausting. This is my

favourite type of client to work with, once they

understand their numbers and they refine their treatment

menu, they move forward with a fresh new perspective

and turn their business into something that works for

them, around their life, not something that feels like an

overwhelming hamster wheel. “

WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES A CLINIC PROFITABLE?

“It’s not more clients it’s better systems.

Most clinic owners think the answer is “I need more

bookings,” but actually, they need to get more from

the clients they already have.

When you fix your pricing, improve how you consult and sell,

and build proper retention (memberships, treatment plans,

rebooking systems), everything changes.

That’s when you stop starting from zero every month and

start building predictable income instead.“

WHAT DO PEOPLE GET WRONG ABOUT INSTAGRAM?

“They treat it like a content machine instead of a client attraction tool.

Posting every day doesn’t automatically bring clients in. You can be consistent and still not make money if your content

isn’t actually speaking to the right person or guiding them to book.

It’s not about doing more it’s about speaking directly to your people.

What you say, how you position yourself, and how you lead people into your DMs or bookings… that’s what makes the

difference. I built two businesses using instagram and now it’s my fave tool to connect with my ideal client. It took me a

while to get my head around it, but once yo figure out what works its the greatest tool.“

WHO IS YOUR COACHING REALLY FOR?

“It’s for the ones who know they’re capable of more but their business isn’t reflecting that yet.

Usually they’re amazing at what they do. Their clients love them. But they feel stuck financially, or like they’re working

way too hard for what they’re earning.

They’ve tried bits of everything posting more, lowering prices, doing offers but nothing feels consistent.

That’s when they come to me to actually put proper strategy behind the business.

I love working with people who are serious about changing their life and business and it fills me with so much joy when I

help them double their income or make enough money to take the family to Disney for example. I just love helping

women make more money and enjoy their lives more.“

WHAT’S YOUR APPROACH AS A MENTOR?

“Very honest… and very focused on results. If you commit to working with me, I take that seriously - we're getting it

done! I’m not here to just motivate you and send you on your way. I’m here to help you actually fix what’s not working.

That means looking at your numbers, your pricing, your client journey, your content - all of it - and making sure it’s

aligned. I’ll support you, but I’ll also challenge you. Because most people don’t need more information… they need to

implement properly. My clients say they feel they can take on the world after a call with me, they call it the ‘Kat Martyn

effect’ which I love!! I'm an open book, I share everything that works in my own clinic and every mistake ive made along

the way.“

WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU?

“Scaling what I already know works but to more people.

I’m expanding my programmes, building more structured training, and helping more clinic owners step out of survival

mode and into proper growth. Because there are so many talented people in this industry who should be earning far

more than they are.“

Revive Active, Galway Business Park, Dangan, Galway, Ireland, H91 EE39

In an industry that evolves rapidly, only a handful of brands manage to

truly stand out. Venom Beauty has done exactly that. Bold, fearless and

unapologetically confident, the Liverpool based aesthetics powerhouse

has quickly become one of the most recognisable names in advanced

beauty.

Founded in 2021 by entrepreneur Domante Woodroofe, Venom Beauty

was built on passion, resilience and an unwavering mission to empower

others. Now aged 31, Domante is not only the CEO and founder of the

multi award winning clinic, but also an advanced aesthetics practitioner,

industry judge, product creator and mentor within the beauty space.

You’re just one appointment away with Multi - Award Winning Clinic

Venom Beauty UK from feeling like the most confident version of you.

At Venom Beauty UK, every treatment is completely tailored to each

individual clients, no shortcuts. Whether you’re coming in for advanced

aesthetics , advanced skin treatments, or lash & brow perfection, you’ll

leave feeling powerful, polished, and fully looked after.

This is where clinical expertise meets bold beauty, and your results

speak for themselves - #beautywithabite

Today Venom Beauty is recognised as one of the most exciting and

dynamic clinics within the industry. The brand has developed a

reputation for its bold identity, advanced expertise and fearless

approach to beauty.

VENOM BEAUTY UK

Beauty with a Bite

For Domante, beauty has never been just about treatments. It is about

confidence, transformation and helping people feel like the best version

of themselves.

“My mission has always been to empower others. When someone walks

into Venom Beauty I want them to leave feeling stronger, more

confident and proud of who they are.”

This philosophy runs through every part of the business.

Venom Beauty specialises in advanced beauty and aesthetics including

facial contouring, skin treatments, IV therapy, phlebotomy and expert

aesthetic procedures. Each treatment is carefully tailored to the

individual client to ensure results that enhance natural features while

maintaining harmony and balance.

Signature Doll Lips are known for creating beautifully balanced, defined

and feminine lips, while advanced facial contouring treatments restore

structure and shape to the face, producing elegant and natural looking

results.

The Venom Beauty approach is built on precision, artistry and a deep

understanding that every face is unique.

But the brand goes far beyond treatments.

Domante has expanded Venom Beauty into a lifestyle brand with the

launch of the official website, venombeauty.co.uk, which offers online

masterclasses, e books, beauty education and a growing range of

professional quality products. One of the most exciting developments

has been the launch of the Venom Beauty skincare line.

Leading the range is the brand’s best selling PDRN

Collagen Capsule Cream.

Inspired by Korean skincare innovation, this advanced

moisturiser

contains

PDRN,

also

known

Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a regenerative compound

derived from salmon DNA. In aesthetics, PDRN is

recognised for its powerful skin repairing and anti

inflammatory properties, helping stimulate collagen

production, improve elasticity and support overall skin

rejuvenation.

The Venom Beauty formula combines this advanced

ingredient with Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, pomegranate

extract, glycerin and aloe vera to deeply hydrate and

revitalise the skin. Clinical testing has shown the cream

can improve skin elasticity by up to 33 percent within

two weeks, while delivering 102.4 percent immediate

hydration and helping reduce pigmentation.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or

problematic skin, the cream helps support concerns

such as dehydration, blemishes, rosacea and fine lines.

Its unique capsule texture allows the formula to deliver

both hydration and firming benefits, leaving the skin

with a radiant glass skin finish. Demand has been

exceptional, with over 500 tubs sold within the first

month of launch.

We are 2nd place winner with National Beauty Awards for

Best Beauty Entrepreneur 2026 - Domante has also been

invited to judge and guest speak at multiple industry

award events throughout 2026, further cementing her

reputation as an influential voice within the beauty

industry.

For Domante, success has never been just about

business growth.

It is about building something meaningful.

With bold branding, fearless innovation and a mission

rooted in empowerment, Venom Beauty is more than

just a clinic.

It is a movement.

And for those who have not discovered it yet, the

message is simple.

Venom Beauty is only just getting started.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR

SALONS & CLINICS

The beauty industry has never stood

still — but as we move through 2026,

the pace of change feels sharper,

more intentional, and undeniably

more elevated. Salons and clinics are

no longer just service-based spaces;

they are evolving into experience-led

destinations, blending results, luxury,

and personalisation in ways that

redefine what modern beauty looks

like.

Clients are more informed than ever.

They are not simply booking

treatments — they are investing in outcomes, in expertise, and in environments that reflect their lifestyle. As a

result, the expectations placed on salons and clinics have shifted. It’s no longer enough to offer good

treatments. The future belongs to those who create meaning, trust, and a sense of belonging within their

brand.

THE RISE OF EXPERIENCE-LED BEAUTY

In 2026, the most successful salons and clinics are

those that understand the power of experience. From

the moment a client walks through the door — or even

lands on a booking page — every touchpoint matters.

Interiors are becoming more refined, consultations

more in-depth, and treatments more tailored.

Clients are seeking more than results; they want to

feel something. Calm, confidence, exclusivity. The

environment, the energy, and the attention to detail

now play just as significant a role as the treatment

itself. Clinics are no longer purely clinical — they are

curated spaces that reflect both luxury and trust.

PERSONALISATION AS THE NEW STANDARD

A one-size-fits-all approach has no place in modern

beauty. Clients expect treatments and skincare plans

that are tailored specifically to them — their skin type,

lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Advanced consultations, skin analysis technology,

and bespoke treatment plans are becoming the norm

rather than the exception. This shift is redefining the

client-practitioner

relationship,

positioning

professionals not just as service providers, but as

trusted experts guiding long-term skin journeys.

TECHNOLOGY MEETS BEAUTY

Technology continues to shape the future of the

industry. From advanced laser devices to AI-driven

skin analysis, innovation is allowing clinics to deliver

more precise, effective, and measurable results.

Clients are increasingly drawn to treatments that are

backed by both science and visible outcomes. This

blend of technology and expertise is elevating

standards across the industry, pushing clinics to

continually invest in both education and equipment.

SUBTLE, UNDETECTABLE RESULTS

The aesthetic of 2026 is clear: less obvious, more

refined. Clients are moving away from dramatic

transformations and towards subtle enhancements

that prioritise natural beauty.

Treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, skin

boosters, and dermal fillers are still in demand, but

the approach has evolved. It’s no longer about

changing features — it’s about softening, balancing,

and enhancing what already exists. The best results

are the ones that go unnoticed, where the comment is

simply, “You look amazing,” without anyone quite

knowing why.

THE INTEGRATION OF SKIN HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Beauty is no longer viewed in isolation. In 2026, the

connection between skin health and overall wellness

is becoming increasingly central to how salons and

clinics operate.

Clients are looking beyond surface-level treatments

and are becoming more interested in long-term skin

health. This includes everything from advanced

facials and barrier repair treatments to lifestyle

guidance and wellness integration. The idea of

“inside-out beauty” is gaining traction, with clinics

expanding their offerings to support not just how skin

looks, but how it functions.

CONTENT, COMMUNITY, AND BRAND PRESENCE

In today’s landscape, a strong digital presence is no

longer optional — it’s essential. Salons and clinics are

becoming content creators in their own right, using

platforms to educate, build trust, and showcase their

work.

But beyond content, there is a growing emphasis on

community. Clients want to feel connected to the

brands they choose, whether that’s through events,

loyalty experiences, or simply consistent, authentic

communication. The most successful businesses are

those that create a sense of belonging, not just a

transaction.

What defines 2026 is not just innovation, but

intention. Every element of a salon or clinic — from

its branding to its treatment menu — is becoming

more considered, more refined, and more aligned

with the needs of the modern client.

The businesses that will thrive are those that

understand this shift. Those that move beyond

offering treatments, and instead create experiences.

Those that prioritise trust over trends, education over

quick wins, and long-term relationships over one-time

bookings.

Because the future of beauty isn’t louder — it’s

smarter, more personal, and far more considered.

And for salons and clinics willing to evolve, 2026 is

not just an opportunity — it’s a defining moment.
