Salon Secrets opens
4-H ready to be polite
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
Looking your best is a boost to
your ego, and a new Brussels
business is hoping to help you on
your way.
Cindy Jarvis is opening Salon
Secrets at her McDonald Drive
home.
Jarvis said she has always been
interested in aesthetics and two years
ago decided to start taking some
courses. “I'd always enjoyed having
these things done to me. And I
wanted a career rather than just a
job. I want to say this is who I am.”
Adding these factors to a desire to
work at home, make the idea of an
aesthetics business seem the right fit.
“I started taking the courses and
really enjoyed them.”
The education continues to be on
going as well, said Jarvis as the
services that can be offered are
limitless. “I will have to look
carefully at the market and see what
people here will want and need.”
Currently she offers pedicures,
manicures, facials, waxing, ear
candling and nail enhancements.
Her husband, Grant, redid the
basement and Jarvis has created a
tropical oasis. “I wanted a beachy
feeling. Something calm where
people will feel relaxed.”
That atmosphere works well with
the tanning room as well, an area
adorned in netting, grass skins and
bikinis.
With concerns these days about
tanning and the potential for harm,
Jarvis made sure she was
knowledgable about the practice.
She took a Smart Tan course in
London, which has helped her
understand how to maintain the bed,
and to know more about UV rays, as
well as of the benefits of tanning.
“What I really learned is that
tanning in moderation is fine. I know
about skin types and how long
people should stay in.”
The proper eyewear is very
important, and Jarvis said she makes
sure that everyone is wearing it.
To offer an opportunity for people
to see her salon and learn more about
the services, Jarvis is holding an
open house on Saturday, April 2
from noon until 4 p.m.
