(Bonnie Gropp photo) 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. Looking for local heroes There are so many people out there who do so much to improve their community.
