Rising Stars: Meet Talia Rosen of City Park West

Today we’d like to introduce you to Talia Rosen

Hi Talia, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My journey into aesthetics began in 2020, at a time when I felt like I was drifting without a compass. At 21, I had just left college, feeling untethered and uncertain about my future. I was searching for something—my purpose, my path, my spark. But in truth, it had been with me all along. Skincare and healing had always been a quiet undercurrent in my life—mixing potions in my bathroom as a child, experimenting with botanicals in a tiny apothecary as a teenager. So, with a hopeful heart, I took a leap of faith into esthetics school. That leap turned out to be the most magical decision I’ve ever made. It didn’t just give me direction; it awakened something deep within me.
I fell in love with the art of facial rituals—their intimacy, their creativity, the way they weave together touch, energy, and transformation. There is something truly enchanting about creating a space where someone can close their eyes, exhale, and emerge feeling renewed. I spent nearly three years perfecting my craft at a local spa before feeling the undeniable pull to create something of my own. I envisioned a sanctuary, a sacred retreat where I could infuse every moment with intention and care.
With little more than a dream and a fierce belief in my work, I stepped out on my own. I started in a cozy suite, and now, my practice has found its way home—literally. There is something almost ethereal about welcoming my beloved community into my personal space, where every detail is infused with warmth and love. It’s more than a business; it’s a living, breathing expression of my passion. And I couldn’t be more grateful to share it.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It hasn’t been a smooth road—far from it. As with most small business owners, self-doubt and imposter syndrome have been familiar companions on this journey.
My perfectionist tendencies often whisper that I could be doing more, offering more, showing up as a better version of myself.
For a long time, I saw these traits as obstacles, things I needed to overcome. But now, I’m learning to reframe them—not as flaws, but as fuel. They push me to grow, to refine my craft, to pour my heart into every detail. Instead of holding me back, they propel me forward. And maybe, just maybe, they’re not a weakness at all, but my own kind of superpower.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I specialize in results-driven, meditative facial rituals—treatments that go far beyond traditional skincare. To me, facials are not just about glowing skin; they are about deep restoration, both inside and out. Every treatment I offer is fully customized, not just to my clients’ skin concerns, but to their emotional and energetic needs as well. I incorporate the power of sound, crystals, aromatherapy, and intention setting in most of my rituals.
My goal is to create a space where clients can truly receive, where they feel safe to show up exactly as they are. I place a strong emphasis on nervous system regulation and relaxation because our skin is a mirror of our internal world. When the mind and body are at ease, the skin follows. By blending intention, technique, and a touch of ritual, I help my clients reconnect with themselves—leaving not only with radiant skin but with a sense of balance and renewal.
