CD has become today.”

Day Spa Nirvana Gives
the Gift of Relaxation silvafm@silvapiano.com
Nirvana, in

Cobb’s Day Spa
Nirvana is aptly named. A family-run business, Day Spa
Nirvana is celebrating its one-year anniversary this month.
Located in the Kroger shopping center at Shallowford
and Sandy Plains roads, Day Spa Nirvana’s specialties
include an affordable one-hour foot massage for $29.
Stanley Ge, manager, said this service, unique in East Cobb,
employs the methods of reflexology, which can improve
health and circulation while alleviating stress and insomnia.
“We chose East Cobb to open our business because it is
a stable, family-friendly community,” Ge said. “Our custom-

Ge said Nirvana offers a $49 per month membership,
which entitles members to a monthly one-hour massage, dis-
counted massages for family members and 10 percent dis-
counts on any spa service or product. They also offer facial
memberships for $59 per month, which include microderm-
abrasion, pumpkin peel treatments and other benefits, with

Following in the footsteps of her beloved grandmoth-
www.CanvasbyU.com er’s retail store in Indiana, East Cobb resident Laura Fanoe
is opening a boutique full of upscale jeans, cute little tops,
678-954-8399 • info@CanvasbyU.com accessories, and unique gift items. Laura gave her shop
the same name as grandma’s shop, The Hub Boutique “The
Center of Fashion”, as the ultimate nod to grandma. She
says, “My grandmother and I were best friends.” The Hub
is still a family affair, as Laura’s mother-in-law, Dorris, family
members, and her best friend are helping out.
“As a Marietta native, I wanted to give local women
(and men) the accessibility to great designer clothing with-
out the hassle of time consuming commute. I want The Hub
Boutique to be your “go to” store when you are in need of
a wardrobe/attitude pick-me-up,” shares Laura.
The Hub Boutique opened for business November 3, just
in time for colder weather and the search for holiday gifts!
Men and women of all ages can find high-end jeans at The
Hub. Laura had both normal and a-bit-heavier people try
on different jeans, until she found the best brands to carry:
jeans that make everyone look great! She said, “The idea is
to have something for everybody…to [have customers] find
the perfect fit.”
At The Hub Boutique, you can shop for upscale, well-
cut jeans or lower-priced gifts. Explore not just shades of
indigo denim, but several other color options. NYDJ, the
newly re-branded Not Your Daughter Jeans, are available.
The store carries everything from the cleaner-looking Henry
& Bell to the very trendy look of True Religion.
“We are incorporating San Diego Hat Company mer-
chandise…including a really cool scarf that has a pocket,”
said Laura. Another unique item is a soy candle that makes
a warm wax you rub on your hands, as a kind of lotion. Who
knows what other cute things you might find? Check out
The Hub Boutique at Merchant’s Walk shopping center, 1311

CEO Matt Dang’s family, with 20 years in the nail care
industry, recently opened its newest location in The Avenue
East Cobb, conveniently centralized to shoppers from
across north metro Atlanta.
Dang explains that he chose the name “Parisian”
because “Paris is considered the nail art capital of the world
and our name reflects that French theme.” He adds that, as
such,“we offer a large pallette of contemporary nail polish
colors and old classic collections, as well as seasonal colors
with shades and designs to match the occasion.”
The variety of brands of nail polishes offered at Parisian
includes: OPI, Essie®, China Glaze® and Orly®.
In addition, Parisian features CND Shellac™ service,
the only salon that does so in East Cobb. This unique, two-
week long lasting application will not damage regular
nails, according to Dang.
With their products, ambiance and personal touch
service, you will enjoy the Parisian Nail Salon promise to
“Indulge in Serenity.” Simply call 770-578-6666 to make an
appointment, or Walk-ins welcome. Vist their website at
www.parisiannailsalon.com for more information.
