4B LIFE/1t|t Ctarlotte $ot Thursday, January 12,2006 Beauty salons go the distance with eyelashes WE ASSOCIATED PRESS GREENWICH. Conn. - Here’s beauty news that may have you toesing your eyeleish curlers and heavy-duty lengthening mascdras. Eyelash extensions, semi permanent lashes that make those full sets of false eyelash es seem so fake, are the latest beauty enhancement offered in upscale salons. The process of ^uing indi vidual lashes and blending them in with the natural lash line started in Asia and migrated to Hollywood. As with so many red carpet trends, the beauty industry took notice and makeup artists began learning the time-consuming craft. Getting lash extensions can be a bit tedious, but one makeup artist skilled in the application paocess says their appeal will make others stare. “They really can make your eyes look amazing,” says Tamara Efron, makeup artist at the Warren TVicomi salon in Greenwich. “I have clients tell me all the time that peo ple ask them what they did, because they look so good, but I think best part is you can go to sleep with them on and wake up without raccoon eyes.” Since Warren TVicomi began offering the service several months ago, the applications have been popu lar with everyone from brides-to-be to stay-at-home moms and women with a heavy schedule of holiday parties. “They are great for a special occasion, like a wedding, where you are going to have lots of events,” says Sandra Warren, manager of the Greenwich salon “But they are also popular with people who have sparse lashes or just don’t likft the results they get from mascara.” Efron explained the appli cation process costs about $100 and takes a little less than an hour. Efron starts with clean lashes, before applying more than 30 separate, black lash es to each eye. She says dark lashes work best on most clients. The extensions last about 2 1/2 weeks before they must be serviced or removed. Samantha Bucci, a client at Committee looks into complaints on police Continued from page 3B complaints and find fault with those making them, said Bill Saunders, the group’s chief executive. “There has to be some hon est dialogue aroiuid the possi bility that the police depart ment has a problem,” he seud. “What they’re saying is that there is no problem and that everything is perfect, and that’s just not true.” Pryor said police are inves tigating the complaints although the committee did not bring them to police. Copies of the complaints were provided to police by The (Charleston) Post and Courier which reported on the complaints last weekend. Pryor said the department doesn’t tolerate officer miscon duct and during the first 11 months of 2005, ei^t officers were fired and 55 faced disci pline resulting from com plaints about conduct. He said people need to bring police their complaints. “They need not fear the police department. When there is a problem, we deal with it,” Pryor said Cl^ty Councilman Bob King said Police CTiief Jon Zumalt works to communicate and handle problems. “The problem is that some people in the community aren’t coming forward,” he said. “If they have a com plaint, I believe the diief will follow up.” Study:More people move west, southeast niE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS—A century and a half after Horace Greeley famously said, “Go West, young man.” many Amejicans are still listening. A study of moving habits by the nation’s largest mover of household goods, United Van Lines, suggests that people are continuing to move to the West and Southeast, and away from the East and Midwest. The St Louis-based compa ny has tracked migration since 1977. The 2005 figures were based on more than 226,000 moves handled by the company in the 48 con tiguous states and the District of (Dolumbia. Oregon had the highest inbound migration, with a 63.6 percent of moves going into the state. (Dther Western states also saw significant inbound movement, includ ing Idaho (61.9 percent), Nevada (60.1 percent) and Arizona (60.1 percent). In the Southeast, North Carolina led the way, with 61.3 percent of moves inbound. Other southern states with large percentages of inbound moves included South Carolina (59 percent), Alabama (58.9 percent), Tfeimessee (58 percent) and Geoigia (55.2 percait). States with the biggest per centage of moves leaving the state were aU finm the East, Plains or Midwest. Chief among them weis North Dakota, with 67.8 percent of moves being outbound. Others with large outbound moves included Michigan (63.9 percent). New Jersey (60.4 percent), Indiana (59.9 percent), New York (59.8 per cent) and Illinois (58.4 per cent). One reception to the trend of movement to the West was CalifcoTiia, where 55.7 per cent of the moves were out bound. Hurricane Katrina played a role in Louisiana’s outbound migration—57.9 percent of moves were leaving the state. Missouri had slightly more moves out of the state than in, with 50.8 percent of moves going out. In Kansas, 52.6 peixjent of moves were leaving the state. United Van Lines Vice President Carl Walter said the company’s migration study has been used through the years by real estate firms, financial institutions and oth ers for business planning and analysis activities.

AIEANIA INQl IRfJi ATLANTA - As the nation prepares to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. next week, new lead ership and a more prominent reJe by a federal agency has taken place toward “the living institutiem and memorial to promote (King’s) ideals of non violence.’* In late September, King’s nephew, Isaac N. Farris, assumed leadership of The King C^ter as president and chief executive officer follow ing a board of directors elec tion.

Young, now 73 and chair man of Goodworks International, was an execu tive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference during King’s reign as founding president. SCiiC was founded by King, Rev. Ralph David Abernathy Rev. Joseph E. Lowery and other clergy in 1957. Local National Park Service or Department of Interior offi cials were not immediately available for comment. The agreement, nevertheless, will have The King (liter’s prop erty deeded to the U S. gov ernment, yet, allow the King family to maintain control of center initiatives. In a December statement announcing the new cents' official, Farris said "the Center has authorized the exploration of options sur- the salon, says the process was painless and worthwhile. “I think they look great,” she said. While Efix)n initially thought clients would try extensions for special occa sions only, she’s been sur prised by the number of women wearing them regu larly, repeating the process again and again. “Actually, the biggest appeal is with women who don’t like to wear a lot of makeup but love how these make their eyes look,” she says. “You can swim with them, workout, wear con tacts, and wake in the morning looking great.” Efinn, who has worked with mqjor magazines on photo shoots, says the lashes are actually the “sneaky little secret,” of the beauty trade. “A lot of times in mascara adds, when the models’lashes look so amazing, these are what they are wearing,” she says. “That’s why they look so great.” House Cliari on Tlie Plaza A i.,>w Country Restaurant Where Everyday is a Holiday l.unch 11:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Dinner. 5:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. The Management cordially invities you to join in celebrating our 3128 The Plaza Charlotte, NC 28205 704-333-4441 Lots of good food and beverages We’ll feed’ you til we fill’ you up, fuh true!
