Dija Ayodele: Creating a more inclusive aesthetic clinic
Dija Ayodele has made her name pushing the aesthetics and beauty industries to better serve people of color. She is founder of West Room Aesthetics in London, a clinic whose mission is to consistently elevate the skincare experience for women of color and to champion accessible skincare.
As well as being a Glamour Magazine columnist, she is also founder of the award-winning educational platform, Black Skin Directory, which connects people of color with expert skin care professionals.
And in 2021, she published Black Skin: The Definitive Skincare Guide, which not only gives essential insights to women of colour on how to care for their skin, but also examines how history has shaped how black women have expressed themselves in beauty and skincare and looks at the very concept of identity.
In this episode, we delved into some of the fascinating topics raised in her book; and discussed how clinic owners can create more inclusive practices, and how we can create a more inclusive aesthetic industry in general.
Plus we discussed:
>> Where the inclusion of women of color in the aesthetic industry has improved in recent years... and what’s still missing
>> How skin therapists can build their confidence treating women of color, if necessary
>> How diversity in aesthetics is different in the UK and US - and what British clinic owners can learn from their American peers
>> Why she moved from a lucrative role in an investment bank to the aesthetics industry
>> Why niching has not stopped women of all skin tones coming to her clinic - and what other clinic owners can learn from this
>> How she markets with complete authenticity and keeps in touch with clients in unusual ways
>> The unexpected impact that publishing a book has had on her clinic
>> Dija’s biggest marketing challenge
...and more.
