Now that the hubbub of the
Christmas season is behind us and the glamour of New Years Eve (at home in PJ’s
with a movie perhaps?) is history, many of us are daydreaming of a little pick
me up.
Manicures, pedicures, spa
days or a change of hairstyle may be just the ticket!
This past weekend I visited a
unique small business in Bracebridge which offered an opportunity to fluff and
polish. It’s a self-serve location as well, open 24 hours!
Upon walking through the
door, in plain view is a metered timer – make your selection on the dial and
drop in either the One Dollar or Two Dollar coins. The choices are Oatmeal
Shampoo, Rinse, Conditioner, an intense Extra to eliminate strong smells, and
then the blow dryer – which incidentally blows cool so as not to cause skin
irritation. If you need more time to complete the tasks or repeat, just insert
more coin!
A stainless steel tub is
easily accessed up a slight rubber-coated incline – no slips or falls, and
there’s even a tether to latch onto for anxious participants! The whole process
from start to finish takes about 5 to seven minutes, not including nails of
course, and the set-up is convenient for all shapes and sizes.
First timers have no need to
feel anxious, they can enjoy the pampering and exit wrapped in a big towel! The
Smelly DogWash is located on Ecclestone Drive near the Esso™ gas bar on the way
into town.
It’s an amusing opportunity
to pamper your pooch – like humans they need a little TLC on occasion to make
them feel “in the pink” of perfection!
