Professional Beauty Solutions’ biggest event of the year returned in unforgettable fashion, with Skin Summit 2026 bringing together salon, spa and clinic professionals from across Australia for a weekend dedicated to growth, innovation, connection and celebration.

Client Retention: The Art of Creating Your Dream Database
Tamara Reid delivered a standout session focused on one of the most valuable assets in any beauty business: loyal clients. Moving beyond the constant pressure of chasing new bookings, Tamara unpacked the importance of retention marketing, relationship building and creating exceptional client experiences that turn treatment rooms into destinations clients never want to leave.

Exploring the next frontier in clinical skincare, HydroPeptide CEO Annette Rubin and Senior Cosmetic Chemist Ian Vitek captivated the audience with insights into regenerative aesthetics, peptide technology and epigenetic science. Their session highlighted how advanced skincare formulations are evolving beyond surface-level correction to support skin regeneration at a cellular level, reshaping the future of professional skin health and rejuvenation.
Profit-Boosting Aesthetics: Tech That Pays
PBS Co-Founder and Director Matt Williams alongside PAS Director of Aesthetic Technology Mat Green explored the growing demand for energy-based devices and how clinics can strategically integrate technology to increase profitability and treatment results.
