Hilary

Hilary is a Registered Nurse with a passion for aesthetics and client care.


I transitioned into the cosmetic industry and have loved every moment of helping people feel more confident in their own skin.


I take pride in creating bespoke treatment plans tailored to each client’s unique goals, using a full-face approach that respects natural anatomy and enhances individual beauty. For me, education is the key to positive outcomes, and I ensure my clients feel informed and supported throughout their journey.


Outside the clinic, I enjoy socialising with friends, exploring new restaurants, and travelling to different parts of the world. South Africa holds a special place in my heart, where I spend time with family and draw inspiration from my roots.


Through both personal and professional experiences, I’ve come to value the importance of genuine connections. I bring warmth and authenticity to every interaction and look forward to welcoming more clients into our Cosmetic HQ family.

Amanda

I am a registered nurse with several years of experience in aesthetics, dedicated to delivering safe, results-driven, and personalised care at Cosmetic HQ. My practice is built on a holistic approach—celebrating individuality, respecting natural anatomy, and creating treatment plans that enhance confidence while maintaining authenticity. I strive to provide a space where clients feel comfortable, valued, and supported throughout their aesthetic journey.


Beyond my professional role, I am a proud mother of three and the devoted owner of a much-loved toy poodle, Osito. My late grandfather’s encouragement and compassion remain a guiding influence in my career, inspiring me to bring empathy and dedication to every interaction.


I believe aesthetics is not just about appearance, but about connection and empowerment. Whether a client is seeking subtle refinement or a more transformative change, my goal is to ensure they feel heard, respected, and truly confident in their own skin.
