NORWOOD PARK — Nadine Senese wants you to take better care of your skin.

"It's your largest organ, and the first thing people see," Senese said Thursday at the grand opening of Bella Faccia, her newly-relocated health studio. "You need to be keeping it healthy."

Senese, a licensed esthetician, keeps an intimate clinic at the back of Do or Dye Salon, 6005 N. Nina Ave., where she offers a wide suite of facials and skin treatments. The most basic package gives customers an hour in her zen-style nook, where they're treated to skin cleansing, exfoliation, facial massage and a mask.

The treatments include LED light therapy for acne and vitamin-infused oils to keep skin supple and young-looking. One facial treatment, recommended for special occasions, even uses collagen infused with 24-karat gold.

Senese also boasts a full shelf of oils and creams for customers to take home with them, including a few distributed under the Bella Faccia label.

After spending a year operating her studio around the corner at 6130 N. Northwest Hwy., Senese one day walked into Do or Dye with a hair appointment and walked out with a plan to co-lease the storefront together.

The hair salon has operated continuously since 1995, but never before with a co-tenant. Co-owner Julie Kelley said she looked forward to the new roommate "bringing a little sparkle" to the storefront

Senese is carrying over a loyal customer base, including Laurie Christie, who said she makes time for an immersive and restorative session at the studio every month.

"It's all about the experience with wellness therapy, and I don't think you can have a more relaxing atmosphere than you do with Nadine," Christie said. "I would follow her anywhere — but I'm glad she's staying just a few minutes away."

Bella Faccia offers service by appointment only; sessions can be arranged by calling 773-206-2320.
