Sandra Martin recently started her own skin care and makeup business in Lafayette. The young woman was born and raised in Switzerland, and has always paid close attention to skin care. Starting in the beauty industry 15 years ago, the Lafayette resident worked closely with dermatologists and plastic surgeons using state of the art treatments. Her focus is to apply her knowledge to benefit each client's needs and customize treatment to maximize their results. Martin is also a makeup artist trained at the Make-up Designory academy in Los Angeles. She offers makeup services for weddings, proms, and special events, as well as facial, resurfacing peel and waxing services. Her website also includes interesting advice related to beauty. For example, in the post "What makes a complete skin care regimen?" she explains how to use alpha hydroxy acid and beta hydroxy acid products, the importance of vitamin C and peptides, and the role hyaluronic acid/ B5 serum plays in helping keep skin young looking. She also writes about the latest makeup trends on the site. Martin works Tuesday through Saturday, by appointment only.
The Squirrels Coffee Shop Closes
998 Moraga Rd., Lafayette
Squirrels Coffee Shop will close its doors Aug. 15. The Lafayette icon has been operated by the Poy family for nearly three decades. A favorite place for Sunday brunch, patrons especially liked the long counter that created an East Coast atmosphere. The family has been working with the city on plans to renovate the Plaza Park shopping area. Owner Bill Poy said, "The Lafayette community has graciously supported our restaurant over the years and the renovation is our way of giving back to them and to thank them for all the years of supporting The Squirrel's Coffee Shop." Craig Semmelmeyer, of Main Street Properties, said, "The eclectic mix of premier establishments that will be featured at Park Plaza Shops will create a rebirth in the community and will serve the surrounding needs and provide an inviting and vibrant place to shop, eat and relax."
