Rosa Scialo
Beauty Therapist/Facialist
Body Sense
Welcome to BodySense
My name is Rosa and I am an independent beauty and aesthetic therapist, offering an extensive range of skincare treatments. I pride myself on providing a high quality and professional service here at my home-based salon, where you will receive a warm, friendly and ultimately relaxing experience.
With 30 years of working in the beauty industry, I can truly say I love my job. My passion for skincare was a direct result of my own personal challenge with psoriasis. I wanted and needed to understand the how and why of skin function. This led to my long-standing association with Matis.
Matis are a prestigious Parisian brand and have been sharing their professional expertise for over 80 years. I have recently also started working with Phyt’s, a certified organic range who grow all of their ingredients on their own farm to ensure purity and quality.
All the treatments can be tailor-made and I would love to build a bespoke treatment plan that works for you, your skin and indeed your goals.
