The shop also offers package deals of facials, facial/manicure, ,facia/pedicure, facial/manicure/ pedicure/brows and wedding day services at reasonable prices. "This is something I always wanted to do. For the past 13 years, I had worked for the Loblaws at King and Wilson (Oshawa)," owner Joni Patterson said. She was "aware" that the store would be closing, and was taking courses at Lams Esthetic and Beauty Therapy in Toronto and a freelance makeup course with International Top Models in preparation for work in esthetics after the store closed. "If theres any way I can help people, it makes me feel good. I enjoy working with people," Patterson said. "So rnany people are afraid to come in for pedicures. I love to see them leave without calluses, feeling better," she continued. "I like to give each client individual time, so appointments are a good idea." The most common skin problems that Patterson said she sees are aging skin and broken blood vessels across the cheeks. The mnost important services a person can obtain for their skin are: use of professional products, daily cleansing, use of sunscreens, and regular -visits to an esthetician, according to Patterson. "Drinking water is extremely important to the health of your skin as well," she added. To maintain the health of the skin, ý Patterson recommends facials every four to six weeks. Patterson says she is seeing a definite trend toward more subtle makeup, but will apply makeup to suit the customer's taste. Patterson suggests that for a very relaxing, rejuvenating experience, try a pedicure - one of Patterson's specialties. Professional Touch by .Joni is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday and Friday, and 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. - W Dhii e1b e1Wsi¶teI JIM PAPAS, owner of Jimmy's Steak and Burger, prepares his house specialty, souvlaki.
