Looking for local heroes
Shannon Cook
opens Village Spa
By Mary Simmons
Student writer
Shannon Cook wants to make the
citizens of this world a little more
beautiful.
The 22-year-old returned to her
hometown of Belgrave after two
years working and studying in
London in order to open Shannon’s
Village Spa.
For her grand opening on April 4,
Cook decided she would give a free
eyebrow wax to anyone who
dropped in at 14 Queen St. between
4 and 7 p.m.
Although the weather threatened
to keep potential customers away,
the turnout was good with 25 free
eyebrow waxes being done.
“It was a perfect crowd,” Cook
said enthusiastically. “Any more and
I would have been too busy. As it
was, I was able to get almost
everyone done.”
For those who did not arrive in
time. Cook handed out coupons, so
they can still receive the waxing at
their own convenience.
While they waited, coffee and
juice was available.
She said she considered the event
a success and was able to book
appointments at that time.
The spa will offer customers full
esthetics, manicures, pedicures and
facials.
Cook decided to open her own
business because she thought it
would be interesting, fun and
rewarding to bring the growing field
of esthetics to the people of
Belgrave and the surrounding area.
She saw a void in the village since
the closest competition is in
Wingham and Blyth.
She had already booked customers
before the grand opening and is
available for wedding parties, prom
makeovers and everyday
pampering.
“I hope to serve a wide range of
women, from the 17-year-old girl to
her 75-year-o!d grandmother who
needs her feet pampered,” she said.
“I want to give my customers a
break from the stress of their lives,”
she said.
There are so many people out there who do
so much to improve their community.
Now you have a chance to say thanks.
Nominate that special person for the 18th
Annual Citizen Citizenship Awards.

the Blyth and area and Brussels and area communities to receive an
