Virginia Scott

40 years experience in Beauty Therapy

With over 40 years experience to say Virginia is an expert in beauty therapy is an understatement. She discovered her passion for making people feel and look fantastic at a young age and has since cultivated her craft. Virginia has mastered the best techniques through continual training and ensures she is up to date with the latest beauty therapy treatments. She also endeavors to source the most effective beauty therapy products and make them available to her clients, delivering the results they want. 

While working in Europe for 3 years, she had the privilege of working on some very famous clients (see Woman’s Weekly article below). Virginia has had several Beauty Clinics in Christchurch over the years, one in Merivale, and then one in Riccarton. 



She now works from the privacy of her own home in Ilam, Christchurch. There are two rooms, a reception area and a bathroom set up for body treatments. There is also brilliant off-street parking for two cars, making the walk to the facility short and sweet 
(no walking through busy malls after treatments). 
Eftpos is also available.
