Pampered - Lane' Stacks gets her feet pampered at the Hair Works Salon and Day Spa. The salon offers manicures, pedicures and acrylic treatments.

   Two years after opening for business, HairWorks Salon moved to a new location and started offering spa services in November 2007.

   Owner Donna Miller decided Monticello needed a day spa so customers could get a variety of services in one place.

   “(Monticello) needed a place to get everything done,” Miller said. “No one else offered a place to do it all.”

   The salon moved from 420 West Gaines to 531 West Gaines Suite 3, right next to Breaker Drive-Inn.

   After adding the new spa services, Miller said the traffic in the salon tripled.

   “The response from Monticello has been wonderful,” Miller said.

   Miller said customers should expect an unforgettable spa experience. They offer typical spa services including Swedish massage, healing stone massage, salt glows, facials, pedicures and manicures.
 
   “We just want to wait on customers hand and foot,” Miller said. “Our motto is ‘leave your troubles at the door.'”

   The spa also offers Botox and Restylane injection. Miller said they have an injection specialist to offer those services.

   HairWorks offers special spa services including spray tanning, coffee pedicures and ear candling. According to Earcandling.com, ear candling can help rid customers of headaches, sinus problems, vertigo and other conditions caused by the ear.

   With Valentine’s Day around the corner, HairWorks offers salon and day spa packages customers can buy as gifts for a significant other. HairWorks also sells gift certificates. Packages comprise:

• Package #4: Half-Works $70

    3.5 hours of service
    Pedicure, manicure and lunch.

    1 hour massage, facial, manicure, spa pedicure, hairstyle and delivered lunch.

    1 hour massage, manicure, spa detox, spa pedicure, hairstyle, wax, facial and lunch.

Stylin' - Hair Works Salon and Day Spa owner Donna Miller styles Lisa Murphy. Miller's salon offers a whole range of services to pamper clients. "You come here and it's all about you," Miller said.

   For customers with children, HairWorks provides spa packages to pamper children 12 and younger.

   Britney Hornaday, University of Arkansas at Monticello student, said her boyfriend bought her a spa package from HairWorks for Valentine’s Day.

   “I’m so excited about (the package). I really need the relaxation,” Hornaday said.

   Hornaday said she was surprised when she found out Hairworks added a spa, but glad because Monticello needed it.

   “It’s so inconvenient to have to go one place to get your hair done, another place to get your nails done and then another place to get a massage or a facial,” Hornaday said.  

   Miller said the atmosphere makes customers immediately feel at home in the salon. She stressed that customers remain the staff’s first priority. Miller credits the salon’s success to the friendly atmosphere they provide.

   “I’m very friendly,” Miller said. “I’m the type of person that will meet someone and then take them home for Christmas dinner.”

   HairWorks kept the same phone number when they moved to their new location. For additional information on the salon and spa services offered at the salon, contact Owner Donna Miller at 367-9675.
