Inside the World of Beauty Therapy with Victoria Toye (Beauty Therapist & Business Owner)
From a small-town childhood to founding The Darling Room, Victoria Toye opens up about her work behind building a people-first beauty practice: education, empathy, and emotional intelligence. She traces the early spark that led her into beauty therapy, the science that underpins her treatments, and the quiet confidence she cultivated to take up space in the industry.
We dive into holistic care as a lens for healing, the power of listening deeply to clients, and the belief system that guides her decisions.
Victoria shares how trusting her instincts, asking questions, and challenging workplace norms became defining moments in her career progression. She also speaks candidly about the courage it takes to run a business built on care: balancing client needs, professional standards, and the emotional labour that comes with supporting people through their skin journeys. Her philosophy is anchored in empowerment.
Above techniques and treatments, Victoria’s proudest achievement is the way she shows up: with empathy, integrity, and a belief in holistic well-being - proof that beauty therapy is as much about who you are as what you do.
