A CLEAN WAY TO CELEBRATE VALENTINE’S DAY
Sparkle, a carpet cleaning and restoration services company in
Costa Mesa, has teamed up with Germaine’s Skin Care in Corona del Mar
to offer a Valentine’s Day special available through February.
While your valentine is receiving beauty treatments at Germaine’s
Skin Care, Sparkle can clean the carpets at home and will leave a red
rose on the kitchen table -- a personalized note is optional. Owner
Cenmar Fuertes came up with this gift from personal success with the
idea.
“My wife was thrilled when I gave her the present of a special
beauty treatment session and, on her return, found a completely clean
and wonderfully smelling carpet,” Fuertes said.
Germaine Jacobs-Taylor from Germaine’s Skin Care thought the idea
was wonderful. Teaming up with Sparkle, she’s offering a variety of
beauty treatments:
The European Royal Treatment includes a European facial, hand
paraffin and foot reflexology. The Hollywood Star Treatment is a
choice of either a Modelage Facial, an ECHO-2 Pure Oxygen Facial or
an Air Brush Make-up Application; for men. The Kings Choice is a
therapeutic and deep cleansing treatment. Prices start at $350
(actual value of $595), and include a premium carpet cleaning service
and rose. Sparkle can be reached at (949) 631-1001 or
www.sparklelle.com. Germaine’s Skin Care is at 2333 Coast Highway,
Suite B. (949) 673-4257.
