Martha’s Hands Home Health is on a m i s s i o n t o s e r v e w i t h compassion. Martha’s Hands provides quality, compassionate private duty h o m e h e a l t h c a r e . E i l e e n and John Hedrick founded Martha’s Hands over 30 years ago. While a nursing student, Eileen was taught compassionate care by the Sisters of Mercy emphasizing total wellness. Because she wanted to maintain those high standards, Eileen turned to her husband for expertise.

Since the 1980s, John had been building his own successful engineering firm. With Eileen’s focus on high quality standards and John’s ability to s e t - u p a c o m p a n y, M a r t h a ’s Hands started in their basement in 1997. While actual family members have joined the company, the Hedricks consider all of their employees like members of their family, working to continue Eileen’s original mission of “Love through Service.”

Known for quality and compassionate service, Martha’s Hands has grown to become one of the premiere private

duty home health agencies in St. Louis, expanding to include a second office in St. Peters to better serve their St. Charles County clients and caregivers. Assistance that Martha’s Hands can provide include: bathing, grooming, dressing; meal preparation/clean-up, medication set-up and reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, errand running, mental stimulation, companionship and spiritual support.

Martha’s Hands additionally offers programs like Just For Moms. This program provides assistance with the family’s daily activities for expecting and new moms. Martha’s Hands also is offering Home Dentistry services. Instead of going to a dentist, Dr. Dennis McCaffrey will offer basic dental services in the comfort of home.

Accomplishments are meant to be remembered forever.

At Crown Trophy, clients are guaran-teed satisfaction. A one-stop shop for supplying awards and recognition products to businesses, schools, athletic associations and many other organiza-tions, Crown Trophy delivers on price, quality and service.

“We also have other products that customers might not expect a business of our type to carry, such as promotion-al products, signs, name badges and bronze plaques,” Vice President Ben April said.

He and his wife, Wendy, started their franchises 16 years ago, knowing it would be a good way to work together and combine their talents with excep-tional products. In addition to their Ballwin location, the couple also owns a Crown Trophy in St. Peters.

Nationally known and locally owned, Crown Trophy is part of the only fran-chise system in the awards and recog-nition industry. Its 150-plus stores across the country give it the ability to develop its own exclusive and unique products. The company as a whole con-stantly works to develop exciting new products for its loyal clients.

“Our customers love the flexibility of choosing different awards from event to event,” April said.

Not only can Crown Trophy supply the same products as its competitors, but it also has its own designs that are exclusive to Crown Trophy stores.

“We are craftsmen at heart, and we strive to generate quality products that we, our customers and the end recipi-ents will feel proud of,” April said. “We want our customers to feel confi-dent that they are recognizing the achievements of people with the high-est quality awards available.”

Painful waxing is a thing of the past – along with the high expenses of tradi-tional waxing services.

Known for its high-end, yet reason-ably priced, full-body waxing services, European Wax Center is a second-gen-eration, family-owned salon without the “ouch factor,” for which traditional waxing methods are known.

“My wife always complained about how painful waxing was, and she hated the irritation afterward,” said owner Dennis Lowery, who co-owns the salon with Brad Frame. “So when we discov-ered the European Wax Center’s virtu-ally pain-free approach, bringing it to the St. Louis area was a no-brainer.”

The key is a four-step process that cleanses, protects, waxes and rejuve-nates the skin. The wax, specially for-mulated in Paris exclusively for Euro-pean Wax Center, is alcohol-free, has a low melting point and is applied by licensed estheticians at warm bath water temperature. The wax then sets as one continuous elastic layer, adher-ing only to the hair follicle, not the skin. Because of its strength and elas-

ticity, the hard wax can be removed without adhesive strips, which cause discomfort and redness.

Best of all, clients are invited to try it out for free.

“Women receive a complimentary bikini line, eyebrow or underarm ser-vice on their first time in,” Lowery said, “while men are treated to no-cost eyebrow, ear or nose hair removal.”

The relaxing, luxurious space, which offers a mini retreat, cannot be beat.

European Wax Center has become a nationally recognized brand, with 240 locations across the country and a recent international expansion into Canada. Today, guests recognize Euro-pean Wax Center as an industry leader in providing guests the ultimate waxing experience.

Dr. Trampe also can help patients with bunions, warts and hammertoes, as well as spurs and neuromas. In addition, he cares for diabetics and can provide outpatient surgery if necessary.

“I am always very honest and will try and do non-invasive procedures prior to recommending surgery,” Trampe said.

Patients at Deer Creek Footcare can expect friendly and knowledgeable service directly from the doctor, Dr.

Trampe always sees patients himself. Patients also will not have to wait weeks before an appointment or opportunity to speak with the doctor.

Dr. Trampe graduated at the top of his class, and he prides himself on providing expert quality care for all of his patients.

“After doing several rotations during residency, foot care was the area I enjoyed the most,” Dr. Trampe said. “It also allowed me to use my surgical skills but still have a work life balance, whereby I can enjoy my family. We will continue to provide honest, quality foot care to St. Charles and the surrounding community.”

Inst-I-Glass delivers unmatched ser-vice with instant insulated glass fabrica-tion and same-day glass replacement services for home and office. Why wait weeks for glass? When you call Inst-I-Glass, you’ll be surprised to learn about the fast turnaround, not to mention their excellent quality and reasonable prices.

Nancy knows that this economy has increased interest in preserving rather than replacing. Inst-I-Glass specializes in restoring the energy efficiency and appearance of existing windows and doors, helping her customers avoid the expense and hassle of full replacement.

unnecessary waste in the landfill. Most estimates are given by phone,

another time-saver. A uniformed techni-cian is dispatched to the customer’s location in a well-marked manufactur-ing truck. Because the factory comes to the customer’s location, Nancy’s team is able to complete many jobs in as little as one hour!

Individu-al private lessons and on-site repairs of instruments are also available to help customers of all playing levels.

“We like to cater to school-age people and prepare them for a great future in music,” John Sherwin said.

idea for parents who don’t want to buy something immediately,” Sherwin said.

In 1995, Mid Rivers Music was founded by John and Peggy Sherwin to give St. Charles County residents a store to supply their music playing needs.

Parkside Retirement Living, established in 1977, is a full service, faith based, not-for-profit continuing care retirement community (CCRC). They are located next to Blanchette Park in Old St. Charles on a beautifully landscaped 13 -acre campus. Parkside is very near the historic St. Charles Main Street district and area hospitals.

The mission statement at Parkside remains today as it was when it was founded, namely, to provide “an affordable, high quality living environment to the senior population. Parkside’s emphasis is to maintain the highest quality of independence within all levels of care by offering programs and services which support the social, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of each individual within a supportive community.”

Because Parkside is a CCRC, it is very easy to transition from the Independent Living to the Residential Care and Health Care portions of the community. All of these “living” areas are available in a connected complex on the same

campus should, for example, a spouse or friend require short term rehabilitation, or a longer term stay. Late in 2009, a gentleman moved from a St. Charles area independent living facility to Parkside, where he could easily visit his spouse on a several times daily basis.

Tom Walther, a St. Louis area native and veteran health care and senior service executive, is the Executive Director at Parkside. A Saint Louis University graduate with a master’s in Health Care Administration, Walther is very familiar with Parkside and its 5-Star status.

“While the 5-Star rating is in reference to a designation achieved only through strict adherence to quality of care standards and a rigorous state survey process, I can confidently say that this rating is equally applicable to our entire Community,” Walther asserts.

Petabulous owners and friends Pame-la Seyer and Denise Style know how it feels to leave a pet at home. So in 2010, they created Petabulous, a full-service pet sitting and dog-walking company that would give animal-lovers and their pets a peace of mind.

“I knew from having animals all my life that a pet-sitter career would be the perfect match,” Seyer said. “Aside from my own love for animals, the idea of meeting more animal-lovers sound-ed like just the thing for me.”

Seyer and Style worked at jobs for many years, Seyer in the manufactur-ing industry and Style in an office envi-ronment, until they decided to retire and try something more fun.

Founded with one goal in mind – to provide its clients with the finest possi-ble care for their pets – Petabulous provides reliable, trustworthy pet-sit-ting services, mid-day walks, puppy care and aging dog care.

Friendly, caring staff comes into cli-ents’ homes so that their pets can stay in their own comfort zones. Staff even will bring in the mail and newspaper, alter lighting and water plants, if needed.

Competitive and affordable compared to kennel rates, Petabulous’ fast-grow-ing company is insured and bonded. It also is a member of Pet Sitters International.

Petabulous’ services cover zip codes: 63368, 63366, 63367, 63376, 63385, 63348,63304 and 63379.

“I needed to feel like I was making a difference in the lives of others, and this change has done it,” Style said. “I am able to give my clients the peace of mind that their pets are in great care.”

Jaime Grosvenor, owner of Molly Maid of St. Charles County, has high expecta-tions for the services they provide. “The instant you walk in your home, you’ll know we were there” is the company slogan because the experience of com-ing home to a clean fresh house is just invigorating. “We want our customers to feel good when they walk in the door and have more free time to enjoy,” ex-plains Jaime.

Molly Maid was voted Best Value by “Good Housekeeping” magazine and gives every customer’s home “The Pink Glove Treatment.” That means that Jai-me or her manager comes to a potential customer’s home and discusses their unique cleaning needs and expectations to develop a written “Pink Glove Treat-ment” plan.

“Each person’s expectations are dif-ferent and not every cleaning company bothers to ask about personal expecta-tions,” says Jaime. “We don’t require contracts from our customers and know we have to earn their continued busi-

ness every time we walk in the door. How can I guarantee satisfaction if I don’t really listen to how a customer wants things done?”

Molly Maid assures that their teams will treat each home with the utmost care and respect. Customers can expect a team of two uniformed, bonded and insured cleaners to arrive with all of the necessary supplies and equipment. They have reliable transportation in the familiar blue cars with distinctive pink Molly Maid logos and professional uni-forms.

“Our customers often find that we of-fer more reliability and peace of mind than they’ve ever experienced from a maid service,” Jaime said. If you want to make coming home feel great again, contact Molly Maid today.

Hearing Health Care Center utilizes the latest in advanced technology to provide the best in hearing care for all of its patients. Owned by Carol Berg-mann, the Center provides comprehen-sive audiological testing for individuals 3 years of age and older. Each patient at the family-owned and operated busi-ness receives personalized attention and treatment from an on-staff audiologist.

“Helping someone to hear again is so rewarding,” Bergmann said. “We give back what they have been missing. It makes us feel good to see people hear-ing things they haven’t heard in a long time.”

The office also provides hearing aid screenings, evaluations, fittings and post-fitting counseling. A wide array of hearing aids is available in a variety of sizes and circuit options. The newest device is the 100% invisible, extended wear hearing aid, the Lyric. Wear 24 hours a day while showering, sleeping and exercising. In addition, the Center

is well stocked with information and supplies for hearing aids and other assistive listening devices.

Because Hearing Health Care Center has relationships with multiple hearing aid manufacturers, the company is able to offer each of its patients the optimal hearing aid to meet his/her individual needs. Dr. Alison Benner, Dr. Kate Sinks and Dr. Colleen Edwards, have doctorates in audiology.

Keeping up with the service on a hearing aid has never been so easy. The Center offers free service on each patients’ hearing aid every three months.

“We care how you hear,” Bergmann said, “and we will work with you until you are satisfied.”

“There’s more to building a deck than just wood and nails,” said Aesthetic Design & Build, LLC Owner and Designer Daniel DuPuis.

Since 1991, Aesthetic Design has been transforming and enhancing back-yard lifestyles with beautiful decks, screen porches, shade structures, per-golas, gazebos, paver patios, outdoor fire pits and water features.

“We do complete backyard packages – with a focus on design and function to bring it all together,” DuPuis said.

Creative design and personalized attention are the prime reasons for Aes-thetic Designs’ great success.

“Most customers deal with me per-sonally,” DuPuis said. Aesthetic Design offers a wide variety of materials.

“Our Chesterfield showroom is over the top,” DuPuis said. “It’s one of a kind, displaying all the materials from many suppliers. Our products are cho-sen from the best manufacturers and suppliers that we can find. Customers can choose those products which meet their specific needs.”

Aesthetic Design’s reputation is built

on fine service. “We provide outstanding customer

Storage space does not need to be messy and disorganized. Shelf 4 U and More has a three-step process, which results in the maximization of storage space. First, Shelf 4 U and More pro-vides an in-home consultation. Then, it formulates a design presentation and requests the client’s feedback. Once feedback has been incorporated, it pro-vides the installation, often less expen-sive than if the client installed it themselves.

Shelf 4 U and More’s owners, Mark and Terri Cirillo, have been in business since 2004. Mark Cirillo has been installing shelving, shower doors, mir-rors and more in the St. Louis area since 1986.

“I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands and building things, so this is perfect for me,” Cirillo said.

Shelf 4 U and More specializes in installations of Rubbermaid shelving for closets, laundry rooms, basements and garages.

“Many people cannot afford to move, so our services allow them a chance to make more space available at a build-er’s cost,” Cirillo said.

When a client calls Shelf 4 U and More, Cirillo will come out and pro-vide an in-home consultation and a free estimate.

“We don’t want you to clean the clos-et before we get there,” Cirillo said. “All you have to do is take out all the clothes and stuff before we arrive on the install date. Also, we would love for you to donate a bag or two of unwanted clothes to your local charity. If you have the bags ready when we’re done, we will take them to Goodwill.”

Shelf 4 U and More also is an autho-rized dealer of Holland Grills.

Sharon Vermilye, RN and President of Angels On Duty, Inc. learned many things from her Grandmother. In 1996, Sharon’s family had to find a caregiver to help her grandmother through her final years at home. The “angel” they found formed a unique bond with the family and motivated Sharon to put her nursing experience to work for other families as well. Angels On Duty was inspired by this experience and is based on her Grandmother’s motto: It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.

Using this moral guide, Angels On Duty has become one of the 50 fastest growing companies in the region according to the St. Louis Business Journal. Sharon continues to expand on her 25+ years of experience in nursing and has built a staff of over 150 profes-sional nurses and caregivers who share her desire to provide more than just daily care for the elderly. Sharon’s “angels” form relationships and attempt

to enhance lives, while providing reli-able and professional care.

“It means a lot to the families we work with that I personally know what it’s like to struggle with the demands of caring for a family member while try-ing to maintain their own lives and families,” says Sharon.

Angels On Duty, Inc. provides help with bathing, medications, meal prepa-ration, housekeeping, exercising, com-panionship and much more. For more information on their services, job opportunities and what local families have to say about their “angels” visit their website or call.

Specializing in Cruise and Land VacationsEnhancing the bond between your pet and family

Positive Paws Pet Training believes that strengthening the communication between your dog and family is essen-tial in creating a healthy bond and achieving acceptable behaviors. Kim Gracner, owner of Positive Paws Pet Training, has educated owners and changed behaviors of over 2,000 dogs. Positive Paws Pet Training opened in 2006, and offers in-home customized training programs tailored to achieve your goals and your dog’s needs.

Kim believes that training in the dog’s environment is most successful for behavioral change. “Problematic behaviors typically occur within the home environment. Since dogs need leadership and proper structure, the family plays an important role in the training process”, Kim says. It is essential for your dog to understand your expectations for successful training.

The programs at Positive Paws Pet Training are structured to teach all ages and breeds. Whether you’re just acquiring a new puppy, attempting to manage your strong-willed adolescent, or striving to maximize your adult dog’s potential, Positive Paws Pet

Training can help. In addition to basic cues, everyday issues such as house training, jumping, digging, nipping, and excessive barking are addressed. Programs are offered for more chal-lenging issues such as aggression, fear and anxiety.

The method of training is as impor-tant as the cues which are taught. Posi-tive Paws Pet Training practices posi-tive techniques. Kim advocates that dogs learn more readily from reward-ing methods.

Kim is a Certified Canine Behavior Counselor, Certified Pet Dog Trainer, member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, Association of Companion Animal Behavior Counselors, and Bet-ter Business Bureau.

Kim has two four-legged family members: Brandie, a Chocolate Labra-dor Retriever, and Baxter, a Golden Retriever.

Cheryl Johnson started Johnson Real-ty in 2005 to rescue homeowners, real estate investors and banks from expen-sive and unnecessary real estate commissions.

Her real estate brokerage helps con-sumers trim anywhere from 3 to 7 per-cent in fees without sacrificing essen-tial services and customer support needed in successful transactions. “What we are is a hybrid of traditional brokerage, ‘discount’ brokers and for sale by owner,” Broker/Owner Cheryl Johnson said. “We have a small upfront fee to help cut costs on our wide-range marketing campaigns, and in-turn are able to charge a nominal fee at closing. Ninety-nine percent of our clients pay a combined total of around 3 percent at the closing table to both Johnson Real-ty and the brokerage that represents the buyer.”

Johnson Realty provides essential ser-vices, such as in-home listings, price guidance and advice, staging, continu-ing marketing advice and support, showings, contract negotiations, inspection assistance, title ordering coordination and Buyer Agency services.

For the past six years, Johnson has

been voted St. Louis Magazine’s Five Star Best in Client Satisfaction and has placed on the St. Louis Business Jour-nal’s High Producing Real Estate Agents for four consecutive years. “The secret to my company is that we know how to deal in large volume, which allows us to charge low fees,” Johnson said.

The public has seen several area real estate brokerages close with the recent market downturn.

“Once people are aware they can sell their home for, oftentimes, more money and faster than average without sacri-ficing expertise and support, they use us to sell and then to buy,” Johnson said. “We’re just the smart alternative to pay ing fu l l commiss ion .” Johnson Realty is locally owned and operated and licensed in the State of Missouri and Illinois.

“Quality, savings, service with no wait” is Cabinet Granite Tops, Inc.’s motto. In four years, the company has built five stores, with returning customers and referrals keeping it busy.

The process starts with the customer coming in and picking out the cabinets, and/or granite they like. They then schedule a free, no obligation measure. The designers use state-of-the-art software to design the kitchen, and once the kitchen is purchased, C&G’s installations are typically completed within a couple of weeks. The entire installation process only takes one to two days.

Combined, designers have more than 50 years of experience in the kitchen remodeling industry. Clients can be assured that they will get the kitchen of their dreams, whether they want a full kitchen or a new granite countertop. C&G blows its competitors out of the water, because it has no middleman. The company builds its own cabinets and imports and fabricates its own granite,

minimizing costs. It will save the client money without cutting out quality.

C&G uses only all-wood Maple cabinets with a Limited LifeTime Warranty. With other companies charging for costly upgrades, C&G offers glazing and full extension drawers with soft close glides as standard features and only installs A-grade, 3-cm granite. Only the best quality products are sold.

C&G opened its fifth location in Earth City. The large showroom features wholesale cabinets, in addition to granite countertops. The sixth location will open next year in St Peters/O’Fallon. For a free, no obligation measure and quote, call C&G today and start planning a new kitchen.

MobileVet is a full-service mobile veterinary practice that provides per-sonalized, professional and compas-sionate veterinary care in the comfort and convenience of the client’s own home. Drs. Jaime Plappert Waltman and Brad Waltman believe that the level of knowledge, compassion, expe-rience and care that MobileVet brings far exceeds expectations.

“Home visits are very convenient for the multiple-pet household, animals that don’t travel well, families with children and the elderly,” Plappert said.

MobileVet was designed for both dog and cat owners.

“Many times, pets are nervous and/or scared in a veterinary hospital and are not themselves, but when we visit them at home, they are much more relaxed and comfortable,” Plappert said.

All of this makes the veterinary expe-rience much more pleasant. Meeting both the owner and the pet in their home allows the ability to spend as much time as needed. MobileVet care includes vaccinations, dental proce-dures, surgical procedures, blood work

and much morePrior to opening MobileVet in 2009,

Plappert and Waltman spent many years of practice in emergency veteri-nary medi cine. In the fall of 2010, they also opened a traditional veterinary clinic, Crossroads Veterinary Hospi-tal, in Defiance, Mo.

“This was always our plan to have both a mobile veterinary practice along with a free-standing clinic,” Waltman said. “We feel that this offers clients and patients a complete full range of services.”

The quest to buy a piano or organ ends at Midwest Music. Manager Bob Gray is there to answer all questions about the purchase. The store sells pri-marily pianos, organs and digital pianos.

“Midwest and I make the perfect musical match,” said Gray, who is widely known in music retailing as “The Music Man.”

Bob Gray began piano lessons at age six, added drums until age 11 and then switched to the cello. In his youth, Gray played with orchestras and sym-phonies. Gray was the personal pianist for August Busch III, played for all Cardinal functions and in the Cardinal Club until Mark Lamping left.

Gray still performs at receptions, country clubs, events and parties. He specializes in the Big Band era, has a repertoire of more than 1,000 songs from memory and a CD “Stairway to the Stars.”

Having amassed 59 years of experi-ence, Gray wants to share his knowl-edge with his customers.

“I love taking a piano apart to show

customers all the intricacies of tone and touch,” said Gray, who literally knows the instrument inside and out. “It’s so important to know the salesperson who is helping you select the piano for your home.”

Gray has sold more than 20,000 pia-nos and organs in the St. Louis area and also offers piano appraisals. He is one of eight people chosen to write the “Orion Piano Blue Book,” which is considered the authority for piano valu-ation standards

For help with a piano or organ pur-chase, Gray is the man, and Midwest Music is where he can be found.

“There’s no place like home, unless it’s Caregivers Inn,” said Robyn Schaber about her senior living facility.

Schaber, a registered nurse & licensed nursing home administrator, recently celebrated 15 years as owner of Care-givers Inn.

The inn offers the warmth of home living to seniors who no longer are able to live alone. Specializing in meeting the individualized needs of its resi-dents, Caregivers Inn delivers compas-sionate care in a warm and personal-ized setting. The facility was “deficien-cy free” during its 2010 and 2011 state inspections. The statewide recognition places it at the top for exceptional senior living.

Safety and quality of care are hall-marks of the facility, which offers the following promises of service at no additional charge: three well-balanced meals with a 24-hour nutrition station, medication administration, 24-hour nursing supervision, assistance with daily living, an emergency call system, housekeeping and laundry services, scheduled activities and field trips, a beauty and barber shop and an ice cream parlor. Rehab services also are available, including physical, occupa-tional and speech therapies. Addition-

ally, Caregivers Inn qualifies for long-term care insurance and veteran’s benefits.

Many senior living facilities offer bells and whistles, such as swimming pools, exercise rooms, bowling allies and more, but most residents will never use such amenities. Caregivers Inn offers simple, healthy living at an affordable rate.

Planning a vacation for yourself and need a place for your senior loved one? Why not plan a vacation for them, too? The Inn offers short term stays of two weeks or more (respite care). Think of it as an all inclusive vacation for your loved one.

Caregivers Inn is small and personal. The staff is friendly, the food is deli-cious and the residents really enjoy their home.

Edelman Computer Services serves home users and small businesses in St. Peters and the surrounding area. The company was begun initially as a part-time home-based business in 1996.

Owner Doug Edelman had noted a lack of computer services targeted to the home user and small business mar-kets. He started ECS to help fill that niche. He bills himself as the “Neigh-borhood Computer Geek in your Neighborhood.”

ECS provides such services as trouble shooting and repair, wired and wireless networking, security sweep/cleaning, upgrades and performance optimization and what he jokingly refers to as gen eral “ghostbusting,” referring to when a customer’s machine behaves as though it were “haunted.”

Edelman Computer Services pro-vides in-home and on-site service as well as pickup and delivery. Most prob-lems can be fixed in a single visit. The recent rash of worms, viruses, trojans and other se curity threats and perfor-mance robbers has kept them busy.

“If you’re experiencing slow perfor-mance, seeing pop-ups or have new icons on your desktop you didn’t

install… you probably are infected and should have a check-up! There are extremely nasty new rootkits circulat-ing currently, which routine security programs like McAfee, Norton, AVG, MS Security Essentials etc will notpre-vent and can’t clean. If you have “Whitesmoke Translator” on your desktop, for example, you are infected with an aleureon type rootkit!” Mr. Edelman says. “Unlike others, we can clean this infection without reformat-ting your drive.”

Mr. Edelman is a professional IT Spe cialist by trade. He holds multiple professional certifications and has taught PC Main tenance & Repair and Network Funda mentals at St. Charles Community Col lege.

Whether a system needs tweaking, protecting, cleaning or resurrecting, Edelman Computer Services has the ex pertise and experience you need.

Painful waxing is a thing of the past – along with the high expenses of tradi-tional waxing services.

Known for its high-end, yet reason-ably priced, full-body waxing services, European Wax Center is a second-gen-eration, family-owned salon without the “ouch factor,” for which traditional waxing methods are known.

“My wife always complained about how painful waxing was, and she hated the irritation afterward,” said owner Dennis Lowery, who co-owns the salon with Brad Frame. “So when we discov-ered the European Wax Center’s virtu-ally pain-free approach, bringing it to the St. Louis area was a no-brainer.”

The key is a four-step process that cleanses, protects, waxes and rejuve-nates the skin. The wax, specially for-mulated in Paris exclusively for Euro-pean Wax Center, is alcohol-free, has a low melting point and is applied by licensed estheticians at warm bath water temperature. The wax then sets as one continuous elastic layer, adher-ing only to the hair follicle, not the skin. Because of its strength and elas-

ticity, the hard wax can be removed without adhesive strips, which cause discomfort and redness.

Best of all, clients are invited to try it out for free.

“Women receive a complimentary bikini line, eyebrow or underarm ser-vice on their first time in,” Lowery said, “while men are treated to no-cost eyebrow, ear or nose hair removal.”

The relaxing, luxurious space, which offers a mini retreat, cannot be beat.

European Wax Center has become a nationally recognized brand, with 240 locations across the country and a recent international expansion into Canada. Today, guests recognize Euro-pean Wax Center as an industry leader in providing guests the ultimate waxing experience.

a Republican president.She served as U.S. Ambassador to Lux-

emburg, giving her a foreign relations edge over her opponent.

And she can raise campaign cash.In two months on the campaign trail,

Wagner has brought in more than $500,000 in contributions.

“She’s got me there,” Martin admitted. “But we’re working hard. We’re getting lots of the smaller checks – but don’t hesi-tate to write $1,000 if you can.”

Martin’s advantage is name recognition. While Wagner was working hard behind the scenes of many a campaign, including the recent successful run by U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Springfield), Martin has made a name for himself as a Tea Party favorite.

Often a speaker at Tea Party events, Martin champions conservative causes as an outspoken advocate of aggressively reducing the size of the federal govern-ment in favor of growing the public sector,

lowering taxes, scaling back regulation and is unabashedly pro-life.

Wagner has the money. Martin is cur-rently winning in the polls.

The results of the American Viewpoint Poll questions released in July:

Q. Which candidate do you prefer?A. Martin – 38 percent; Wagner – 16
