In past newsletters, we have mentioned that massage therapist Phillip Bryson would be at the Uptown Sushi Bar on certain nights giving complementary chair massages.(2565) Due to a busy schedule, it has been difficult to manage this. In an effort to continue to offer this wonderful special we have decided that on the first Friday of each month, Phillip will be in the hallway located beside the Uptown Sushi Bar to display his wonderful talents! We are sorry if you have experienced any inconvenience due to this matter, but hope that you can look forward to seeing him on the first Friday of each month!

Nail Technician Debi Harvley would like to say "Thank you" to all of the clients who have been so kind to her while she has been on medical leave. She has returned to work and is seeing a few clients on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and would love to see her clients that she's missed so much!(0285) Give us a call so you can schedule your appointment with Debi.

October is National Cosmetology Month and we would like to join several other salons in the community by requesting that our clients bring in any canned food goods to go to local shelters.(2629) As an incentive to donate, we will be putting the names of whoever donates in a "hat" to win special prizes from Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics!
