In just 10 minutes customers can see their face behind two dozen different hairstyles as well as a variety of make-up ap- plications. The computer program, rela- tively new to Canada, is cur- rently offered by seven people in Ontario, including Susan Da- vies, of Ashburn. A photograph is taken and your face is transposed to the computer screen along with the hairstyles of your choice. The consumer receives a videotape and photograph of their choice to take home to share with friends and help make the final decision of changing their looks. "It is a risk-free way to make that change you've always wanted to make," said Ms. Da- vies. Those people who have con- _ sidered drastic changes in hair color or length can see what they look like before having it done by a stylist. Even subtle changes in hairstyles can change a person's looks com- pletely, she added. The service is also a great way for brides-to-be who want to have an extra special look for their wedding day. "By using this system there is no guess work. You can take the photograph of yourself to the hairdresser and you come out happy. You already know what you will look like," she said. The hair designs available in the program are updated sever- al times a year, offering a full line of blonde, brunette, red, gray and mixed shades of color to suit all complexions. Ms. Davies began offering this new service out of her Ash- burn home three weeks ago and the response to date has been overwhelming. "The feedback has been great. People are happy knowingitis a risk-free way to have a change," she said, adding the cost is rea- sonable. As well, customers can see themselves in 24 different styles in one $30 sitting. The service is also available for par- ties where Ms. Davies will bring all the equipment with her. Ms. Davies is also adding oth- er applications to her business including a make-up program, weight-loss program and aland- scaping program. The program also allows Ms. Davies to touch up any blemishes on the face. The landscaping program is one which can save people a sub- stantial amount of money, she said. Before buying paint, shub- bery or adding an addition, homeowners can bring a picture of their home and have altera- tions made to the picture. Homeowners can see new trees, shrubs, interlocking brick and porches on their property before spending one cent. Ms. Davies will be network- ing with many salons and will be taking her equipment to local hairstylists to serve their cus- tomers. Ms. Davies will be at the Monte Carlo in Port Perry on Saturday, April 9 and in Ux- bridge on April 8. Straight Talk with Alex Shepherd, Durham MP What I would like to discuss this week, since it's the end of the fiscal year, is how I've spent your money running the offices in Oshawa and Ottawa. Reducing the cost of govern- ment and moreover, practising what we preach to reduce costs, has been one of my goals. Between Oct. 26, 1993 and March 31, 1994, my operating budget is under the allotted amount by $5,000, which works out to $12,000 annually if the government had been in power for the entire fiscal year. Not much, some might say, but it's your money returned to the Ca- nadian treasury. I've purchased five new com- uters for the offices at a cost of 16,800 for all five. And I still have a $5,000 allowance for equipment purchases which I haven't used. Because we turned our cam- paign headquarters into a con- stituency office, at a: cost of $7,500, we didn't have to pay rent from November to March. We begin paying April 1. Next year we won't have these capital expenses for com- puters and renovations since they are one-time only expendi- Certificates DJ TAYLOR [crc FIVE YEAR INSURANCE BROKERS LTD. 169 North St., Port Perry L9L1B7 Guaranteed Investment (Rates Subject to Change without Notice) 1.0% PHONE 985-8416 SPANKY'S HAULAGE =---- * Basement exc. * Trenching * Septic Systems * Demolition * Grading * Driveways * Trucking * Sand * Gravel * Limestone * Topsoil * Reclaim Asphalt 986-4917 / vos: 433-7273 tures. Consequently, if these equipment expenditures had not occurred, our surplus would have been $29, 300 since last Oc- tober, or $70,000 for the fiscal year, that could have been re- turned to the treasury. In addition I have saved tax- payers $250 per week by taking the train to and from Ottawa. The train is not only cheap, but gives me time to write letters and take care of other business. In fact this column was written while travelling to Ottawa on the train. So little time is wast- ed using the rails. Between my staff and me, we have developed one of the most cost-effective and technological- ly-efficient offices of any MP, which we hope is serving the taxpayer well while saving tax dollars. Since going to Ottawa I haven't found out where the barbers or shoeshine people ply their trades. I use the gym occa- sionally, and after contemplat- ing my waistline, perhaps I should use it a little more. It costs $100 annually to use the facility. Now the infamous parliamen- tary cafeteria. I use it from time to time. It's close to my office and the price of a light lunch is no different than one you could purchase anywhere in Durham. Still there is the question of why the cafeteria runs a deficit. I think it's due to wages paid staff under civil service agreements and not the price of the sand- wiches. As I said, reducing the cost of government while delivering service, remains the goal in Ot- tawa and here in the constitu- ency. Every MP has a contribu- tion to make towards that goal. I hope I've demonstrated to you how I think I'm making a differ- ence spending your money. If you have any questions, or need any help, please call me at 721-7570 or in Uxbridge 1-800- 85 4105. My office is your of- ice. The Port Perry Star for the past 125 years "The Tradition Continues" LL kk time sr AN, I ¥ 4 og RU I ATE Eo STG HET YAIR i' Sv 1 A J
