family atmosphere at new salon
-----Gerard Crew

Goderich's business landscape just
got a little choppier as a new hairstyling
salon opens its doors downtown
"I like to make people feel better,"
said Amy St. Clair from her Victoria
Street salon. "And, look better."
St. Clair's business; Hidden Roots,
offers cuts, colours, coifs and curls for
moms, dads, kids and everyone in be-
tween.
A graduate of Festival Hairstyling
school in Stratford, St. Clair has 13 years
experience under 'her smock, including
opening her own salon in Woodstock at
the age of just 20.
"That was a big accomplishment,"
she said.
St. Clair operates Hidden Roots from
her home, a move she enjoys as it al-
lows her to be at home with her young
family.
"I wanted to be home with my kids,"
she said.
A mother of two, St. Clair said she can
appreciate how busy a mom's schedule
is, and offers a family -friendly atmo-
sphere.
"A lot of salons don't offer that," she
said. "People are welcome to bring kids:
We're very child friendly."
Originally from Lucknow, she said
she same to Goderich to be closer to her
family..
Well, that and one other thing...
"The beach!" she laughed.
Small town kindness, she said also
goes a long way.
Goderich, she said, provides not only
a unique business opportunity, but a
much friendlier atmosphere than the
city.
"It's amazing the difference here with
people being friendly," she said. "The
day we moved in we, knew our neigh-
bours."
A self-proclaimed `Chatty Cathy,' she
said she enjoys getting to know her cli-
ents, and buildling a trusting relation-
ship.
St. Clair said her clients always say
she's a .good listener...
"And a fabulous hairstylist," she add-
ed with a smile.
St. Clair offers anytime appointments,
same-day appointments, evenings and
weekends another advantage to work-
ing out of the home, she added.
Staying on top of tress -trends can be
an arduous task, but St. Clair said at-
tends courses and conventions to stay
keep in the know with what's happening
in the business.
"I definitely try to stay on top of that,"
she said. "Hair shows, courses... I try to
stay new."
Hidden Roots officially opens on the
12th of this month, and St. Clair .is of-
fering free childrens' cuts and $5 off
any other service for her first week.
To schedule an appointment, or even
just get a consultation, call Hidden
Roots at 519-524-1692.
