New business offers head to toe experience
By Janice Becker
As you lay back, your eyes slow-
ly close, soft hands gently massage
your face and stroke your brow. A
warmth encompasses your face as
you relax.
That is just the first step in a
relaxing, refreshing facial at Aes-
thetics by Bonnie, a new, personal
care salon which opened in Brus-
sels, July 3.
Aesthetician Bonnie Sallows,
with eight years of experience in
the business, offers complete skin
and body care from tension-releas-
ing facials, to manicures, pedicures
and the most popular feature, brow
waxing.
The perfect advertisement for her
business, Sallows herself has fol-
lowed a regimen of cleansing, ton-
ing and moisturizing for most of
her 39 years.
Skin health is a life-long process
which changes as we age, says Sal-
lows.
"Your face and hands are the first
impression people have. Looking
after your skin is very important."
What worked for the teenager
will not be sufficient for older skin,
she says. While sun and age dries
the skin, smoking and alcohol also
affect it.
For prevention, Sallows recom-
mends staying out of the sun as
much as possible, particularly
between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., using
sun screen and drinking lots of
water.
But, to counteract those tiny lines
which have already begun to show
around the eyes or just to ease

away the tension of the stressful
lives many people live in the 90s,
Sallows suggests one of her proce-
dures.
"Healthy skin is also in the mind.
Mlany clients say an appointment
with me is the only hour they have
to themselves all week."
It is a time to lay back, relax and
be pampered just a little.
To start, a facial, utilizing the
gentle, rhythmic motions of a Euro-
pean system, Sallows cleanses,
tones and moisturizes the face with
vegetable-based products.
What may be difficult for some is
the next step, a close inspection of
the skin, which allows Sallows to
develop just the right combination
of products to specially suit each
client.
"I am like a chemist," she says. "I
can mix and match the components
specific to the needs of each per-
son."
Once the analysis is complete,
Sallows gives the face an enzymat-
ic steam, removing the surface
crust of dry, flaking skin, allowing
the skin to breathe more easily.
The result is smoother, brighter
skin, immediately, she says.
Included with the facial is an
upper body massage to work out
any remaining tension.
Now that the face is glowing, it is
time for a manicure and pedicure.
Proper hand care helps prevent
hangnails and soft or brittle nails.
Most of the work is done on the
cuticles so length of nail is not
important. A hand and arm mas-
sage is included -and nail polish is
an option.
For those walking-weary feet,
which Sallows says is the most
neglected part of the body until
they begin to hurt, a soothing pedi-
cure may perk up tired tootsies.
After a soak in the massaging
unit, the nails are shaped and filed,
callouses are removed and refined
and a touch of colour can be added
to toenails.
Being the victim of sexual assault
is frightening and isolating, which
can leave one not knowing where
to turn.
However, as part of the Women's
Shelter in Huron County, two local
women, Kim Lorimer, Brussels,
and Brenda Burkholder, Blyth,
have helped form the Sexual
Assault Response Team (SART).
SART, an in-person support ser-•
vice, was first conceived by a
group of volunteers attending an
annual 10-week training course
offered by the Women's Shelter and
Counselling Services of Huron.
The volunteers, trained to accom-
pany victims to police stations,
hospitals or the Women's Shelter,
are on-call 24 hours-a-day, to pro-
vide emotional and practical sup-
port to women 16 years and older.
Initiating the program two-years-
ago, Debbie Reid, a training-course
volunteer, saw a need for the in-
person service and called together a

This is great for the summer
when toes peek out of cool sandals.
Pedicures are also good for
seniors, says Sallows, because they
may have difficulty reaching their
feet.
Waxing is a highly-efficient,
temporary method of hair removal,
which is safe for all areas of the
body. Sallows uses the roll-on
method instead of the pot-and-spat-
ula system because it is gentler on
the skin.
A service available for the face is
brow waxing, which, Sallow says,
normally lasts three to four weeks,
depending on the hair growth.
The level of pain is different for
each client because of tolerance,
but the more often it is done initial-
ly, the less it will have to be done
group from the session. Along with
Terri Shobrook, the pair developed
a steering committee which consist-
ed of Lorimer, Burkholder, Angela
Brindley, Lori Stanley, Sharon
Marton and Goderich OPP Consta-
ble John Marshall, who acted as
liaison between police services and
the committee.
After a year of planning and con-
sultation with lawyers, police, doc-
tors and other shelters, SART took
their concept to the Women's Shel-
ter and Counselling Services in
March, which then formally accept-
ed it as part of their volunteer pro-
gram.
Crisis telephone and appoint-
ment-based counselling have
always been part of the Women's
Shelter mandate.

ing with the Women's Shelter may

For a successful wax, on any part
of the body, the hair needs to be 1/8
to 1/4 of an inch.
Specializing in very personalized
care, Sallows' Brussels' shop is
open Monday, Wednesday and
evenings with the rest of her time
spent at her Listowel salon.
"Healthy skin is a long-term
maintenance program, with a life-
long commitment," says Sallows,
so if interested in beginning the
journey, she can be contacted at

The service is for men and
women, with gift certificates avail-
able for those looking for a refresh-
