The Launch of WASSABA
- SUNSET SESSIONS -
An evening of connection, insight & community — set against WA’s iconic summer sunset.
On Wednesday 25th February, we officially introduced WASSABA to Western Australia… and what a way to begin.
Sunset Sessions was more than a launch. It was a powerful coming together of the Western Australian Skin, Spa, Aesthetics and Beauty community — a room filled with passion, professionalism and genuine connection. The incredible turnout and electric energy confirmed what we’ve always believed… WASSABA is something WA is more than ready for.
WASSABA is about Connection. Collaboration. Community.
It’s about building something meaningful together and creating a platform that recognises, celebrates and elevates our industry.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, panelists, brand partners and teams who helped bring this vision to life — and to every single guest who joined us. Your support was nothing short of extraordinary.
Event Photos
We’ve received the stunning event imagery from the incredibly talented Sarah Ellen, and we’re so excited to share some of these moments with you.
Sarah has also generously gifted $200 off a professional photoshoot to everyone who attended Sunset Sessions. Be sure to take advantage of this exclusive offer — she is one of the industry’s most sought-after photographers for a reason.
A special thank you to our incredible brand partners who generously contributed to the Sunset Sessions gift bags. Because of your support, every guest left with a beautiful reminder of the industry we all love. We are so grateful to have brands who are passionate about championing and elevating the WA industry alongside us.
Thank You to Our Brand Partners
This is only the beginning.
We cannot wait to recognise, celebrate and elevate our industry together at our Inaugural WASSABA Awards Gala on October 23 at the iconic
The Ritz-Carlton, Perth. Get your ball gown ready — we’ll see you at The Ritz.
