Lucknow Sentinel, 2009-04-22, Page 29• Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, April 29, ,2009 - Page 9 Full spa treatrnent available in village_ at Studio \C BY GARIT REID Sentinel Staff People looking for that full spa treat- ment no longer have to go to a big city like Toronto to find it. Studio C salon and spa, in Lucknow, caters to that ideal as the owiers continuously expand to meet the needs of their customers. Scott and Karissa Chow started their business in a smaller setting in the base- ment of their former home on Place St. Then it was hair styling and a teaching studio for things like guitar lessons for the couple, but they had a dream to expand that and the dream of Studio C was born when they purchased a house at 511 Havelock St. on Oct. 31, last year. The purchase of , the house started the. ball rolling as they worked for about 18 hours a day for 12 days to get the salon up and running and by the end of November the place was fully operational. The dream of a bigger business came together when Karis sa and her friend Beth Hergott, a trained esthetician, talked about working together. ether. This idea blos- somed into what is now Studio C. "Karissa and Beth were chatting one day saying they should work together and it was in a matter of six months that Karissa and I decided to either go big or go home," said Scott. "We wanted to expand, but the basement on Place St. wasn't the right .`setting. There was no parking and it was residential and we did- n't feel it was fair for the neighbours. So we went pretty extreme and took the place on Havelock St." One of the big decisions of going big was the ability'to offer a wide variety of y services that weren't available at their Place St. location. The big change also allowed the Chows to hire Beth as an esthetician, another hairstylist in Amanda Montgomery and Sarah Middleton as their registered massage_ therapist. With the larger staff, the Chows have been able to offer a wide variety of serv- ices such as full service hair care, mani- cures, pedicures, hair removal, gel nails, facial treatments, massage, etc. They also have 'a wide assortment of Studio C products. It's not only the people of Lucknow who enjoy the services of Studio C. Through word of mouth, people from areas such as Wingham, Ripley, Kincardine, Point Clark, Port Elgin and Southampton come to enjoy the full spa treatment. "There are a lot of businesses in the area that are battling for the same $12 haircut and we don't want to go after the same clientele as everyone else," said Scott. "Everyone who works here is really good at what they do. Beth and I have worked in larger centres for a long time so we have a different perspective that we . bring to the business," said Karissa. Being part of the Lucknow Chamber of Commerce has made Studio C a part of the community that wants people to spend locally, which benefits every business in town. "Everyone tries to keep the money in the vige. We want to see everyone else do well be use if they do well, that means the village is flourishing," said Scott. The move to Havelock has been surre- al. for Scott and Karissa and their dream of a full treatment spa has been realized and is continually growing. They have benefited fromthesupport of the commu- nity of Lucknow. At the end of the day the Chows just want to put the best quality of service out there.
