Our story
About The Aesthetic Lounge
The Aesthetic Lounge was founded by Katy Hirst, a Registered Nurse with 18 years of nursing experience, including seven years specialising in cosmetic nursing. The clinic grew from a simple belief: that people in North Queensland deserve the same standard of aesthetic and skin care as any capital city, delivered honestly, safely and with genuine warmth.
From our home clinic on Sheridan Street in Cairns City, we've grown to care for clients across the region through visiting clinics in Mareeba, Weipa and Mt Isa, because distance shouldn't mean compromising on your skin.
Our approach
Consultation first
Every treatment journey begins with a proper assessment and an honest conversation about what's realistic for your skin.
Natural-looking results
Our philosophy is enhancement, not transformation, with results that look like you, refreshed.
No pressure, ever
We explain your options, answer your questions and let you decide in your own time.
Skin care for the North Queensland climate
Tropical sun, high UV, humidity and an outdoor lifestyle shape the skin concerns we treat every day: pigmentation, sun damage, dehydration and premature ageing. Our treatment plans and home-care advice are designed around the realities of living in the north, not a textbook written for somewhere else.
