ABOUT SALT

At Salt Esthetique, we believe in enhancing natural beauty while guiding and educating our clients throughout every step of their aesthetic journey — and that belief is exactly how our clinic came to life. Founded by Registered Nurse Alexandria Read, Salt Esthetique was born from a desire to fill a gap in Townsville’s cosmetic industry. Alexandria recognised the need for a space that delivers high-quality, natural-looking aesthetic treatments without the pressure, overdone results, or one-size-fits-all approach.

Located in the coastal suburb of Bushland Beach, Salt Esthetique is a boutique clinic offering a holistic range of services — from cosmetic aesthetics and dermal therapies to advanced skin treatments and pigmentation correction. Our experienced team is passionate about providing medically backed treatments with an emphasis on subtle, refined results that enhance rather than alter.

We pride ourselves on being the go-to clinic for clients who want more than just a treatment — they want an experience. Our client-centred approach, innovative technology, and exclusive medical-grade skincare set us apart as Townsville’s leading destination for results- driven, natural aesthetic care.

At Salt, we know the aesthetic world can feel overwhelming. That’s why we take the time to truly get to know you, understand your skin and aesthetic goals, and develop personalised treatment plans designed to deliver real, long-lasting results — all in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

THE FOUNDER

Alexandria Read

With over a decade of experience in the healthcare industry, Alexandria Read brings more than just credentials to Salt Esthetique — she brings heart, precision, and a passion for redefining the cosmetic experience. Alexandria began her nursing career in 2014 with a Diploma of Nursing, later advancing her qualifications with a Bachelor of Nursing from Central Queensland University in 2020.

Alexandria's clinical experience is broad and deeply rooted, spanning general practice, allergy clinics, anaesthetics, operating theatres, and correctional nursing. But it was her desire to support people beyond the hospital walls that sparked the vision for Salt Esthetique. Frustrated by the lack of natural, client-centred cosmetic options in Townsville, Alexandria set out to create something different — a space where clients feel seen, safe, and empowered through every step of their aesthetic journey. After training alongside one of Australia’s most respected names in non-surgical cosmetics, Juv'ae, she officially opened Salt Esthetique in February 2023.

At Salt, Alexandria doesn’t just deliver treatments — she delivers an experience. One rooted in education, trust, and high-end results without the high-pressure atmosphere. Her calming presence, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering dedication to professional development ensure that every client receives bespoke care that’s at the forefront of the industry. She’s not here to rush appointments or sell you what you don’t need. Alexandria is here to
build real relationships, design customised treatment plans, and provide natural-looking results in a clinic that feels more like a sanctuary than a sales floor.

Because at Salt Esthetique, it’s not just about how you look — it’s about how you feel when you walk out the door.
