Shop owners and town officials think these shops are going to succeed even if the targeted shoppers are not UNC students. One of the newest, exclusive busi nesses is Mina's Studio, located in the Galleria Shopping Center. Mina's Studio offers a variety of quality health and beauty services, said Mina Vakil-Zadeh, owner of the shop. "I think this area was finally ready for it," she said, "Chapel Hill is such a cosmopolitan area." Mina's Studio is part of the Gal leria Shopping Center, a $4.3 billion business venture located on South Elliott Road. Currently one other shop, Purple Puddle, which sells specialty items including flowers and stationery, is located in the shopping center, said Mehran Rad, an associate X'f j!

Rad, along with his brother-in-law, Javad Vakil-Zadeh, president of the investment firm, developed the shop ping center, which also includes Squid's Restaurant. "The Galleria is a specialty shop ping center, and we hope to get more exclusive stores in by early spring," Rad said. "We feel that the economics of Chapel Hill are right for our businesses, especially because of the Research Triangle, the University, and the hospitals in the area," he added. The Courtyard on West Franklin Street is outdoor cluster of businesses that also attracts exclusive specialty shops. The Stock Exchange, located in The Courtyard, is a consignment shop which sells designer clothes and furs, said owner Ann Lynn. "Although we sell high-quality clothing, our prices are reasonably low, and we've been doing very well in the two years we have been here," she said. LOONY PROPORTIONS ' 77 II C 1 S-K.

Bench Mark Furnishings sells furniture, prints, lamps, gift items and cards, she said. The store attracts people in the 20- to 40-year-old age group. Leonard Van Ness, executive vice president of the Chapel Hill-Carr-boro Chamber of Commerce, gives various reasons to account for the increasing number of these businesses. "There definitely seems to be a trend for more upscale shops, espe cially in the peripheral residential areas," he said. "I think it reflects the growing affluency of the residents in Chapel Hill. "Residents in this area are well-to-do," he said. "Many come from the Research Triangle Park, and the average household income in Chapel Hill is higher than the national average. Van Ness said he believes upscale shops are going to become lucrative businesses in Chapel Hill. "There is a market for these shops, and as long as too many don't develop at one time, they will survive," he said.

WFUN o Kroger Plaza o PEOPLE MAGAZINE HUNTER ALBERT BROOKS if L 1 Beauty salons By CORIN ORTLAM Staff Writer r i today's image-conscious society shows that you feel Jl. only as good as you look. "Outer beauty has a great impact on inner beauty," says Mina Vakil Zadeh, owner of Mina's Studio in Chapel Hill's new Galleria Shopping Center. Along with Lou Stephens, owner of Finesse in Ram's Plaza, Vakil-Zadeh is learning that total beauty is a popular concept that is spreading to Chapel Hill. These two total-body salons offer a wide range of services designed to "make people feel and look as good as they can on any given day," says Stephens. Finesse specializes in color analy sis, wardrobe planning and shop ping, and it also offers nail care, facials, custom cosmetics and indoor tanning. The atmosphere in the Finesse shop appeals to the stylish and the eclectic. Area merchants make a lot of their unusual clothing and accessories. Mina's Studio is a comprehensive total-body salon that offers haircuts, coloring and perms, as well as nail care, waxing, skin care, make-up consultation and application, ward robe planning, electrolysis, mas sages, pedicures and indoor tanning. In addition, Mina's Studio has isometric exercise machines origi nally designed for polio patients that tone instead of build muscles. "There is no sweat," says Vakil Zadeh. "The person can come in full make-up and without special clothing." The decor of Mina's Studio is as Government agencies overlooked PTL wrongdoings, investigator says From Associated Press reports CHARLOTTE Federal government agencies failed for years to properly investigate pos sible wrongdoings at PTL under Jim and Tammy Bakker, a Federal Communications Commission investigator says in an upcoming documentary. The documentary, to be aired on PBS Tuesday, says the FCC watered down and delayed a poten tially damaging report on PTL. The documentary notes that Pres ident Reagan "had courted funda mentalists generally and religious broadcasters in particular" in his 1980 election campaign, The Char lotte Observer reported in Thurs day editions. Federal officials knew six years ago that Jim Bakker, PTL's founder, had lied under oath and was taking ministry donations for his own use, FCC investigator Larry Bernstein says in the documentary. "We found scores, perhaps hundreds, of false statements under oath by Jim Bakker," Bernstein says. "We found evidence of people going into the PTL counting room and scooping money out evi dence that ... Rev. Bakker and others had enriched themselves personally with money solicited for Sunday at 1 :00 Doors open at noon) "CaroEna Kamakazis" Coming Sun.

The relaxing mauve and grey theme, plush leather seats in the waiting room, luxurious flowers, plants and modern furnishings com pliment the salon's concept. The hairstyling room is completely lined with mirrors. Each service is con ducted in a small, private room, and a complete kitchen is available for employees and clients who spend the day at the salon. In addition, the hair stylists concentrate on hair, and specialists skilled in individual areas give customers the special treatment. Vakil-Zadeh found her inspiration in the Elizabeth Arden Studio in New York City. "I thought, 'Why couldn't I do that here?' or at least be able to get their (customers') hair cut in a nice atmosphere," she says. What is so special about these complete salons? "The most impor tant feature is the rapport and rela tionship created for the client," says Stephens. "We get to know them and their needs, and they become comfortable. Second to that is the convenience." Emotional fulfillment generated by these services is an important part of the total-body concept. Vakil-Zadeh related the story of an area woman doctor who strongly objected to being called "Mrs." and was easily irritated when she arrived at the salon. Vakil-Zadeh left her with a hair stylist. "When I came back after she was finished, she was another person in just 45 minutes, thanking me for everything and vowing to return," she says. "It gives people self-confidence when they look good." "Thank God men and more various religious purposes." "The fate of the report raises serious questions about the FCC's conduct but also about the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Justice, both of whom received copies of this report," the documentary says. "Despite evidence of false solicita tion, possible tax evasion and even fraud, all three agencies failed to act, and Bakker continued to raise millions with apparent impunity." Because a federal grand jury is now investigating PTL and the IRS is seeking to recover at least $55.7 million in back taxes, officials of the federal agencies declined to comment for the documentary. But former FCC officials and an IRS commissioner appear on the show and deny allegations of political bias and foot-dragging. The documentary discusses in detail a probe of PTL that the FCC undertook in 1979, prompted by a story in the Observer, which reported that PTL had diverted $350,000 donated for international programming to pay bills at home. The FCC's 126-page report, finished in December 1982 but not made public until November 1985, concluded that Bakker raised money for one purpose but used it for another.

Vakil-Zadeh, a native of Tehran, Iran, says she thinks it is time for the total-body salons to come to the Triangle area. "Iran is not like the one they show on TV," she says. "It is heavily influ enced by European fashion and beauty. I had to get my shoes and bags there for a long time." The timing is now right for the success of her salon. "When I first moved here 19 years ago, the hippie movement was strong," she says. "Now style is finally coming around to the area." At Mina's Salon, a haircut and style runs $30, a manicure is $14, facials are $45, a make-up consulta tion and lesson is $40, a full-body massage costs $40, 10 sessions of exercise are $90 and 10 tanning ses sions go for $60. Mina's salon offers a complete gift package. A woman may be treated as "Queen For a Day." This day at the salon, which lasts about seven hours, includes a facial, mas sage, pedicure, lunch, haircut and style, manicure, eyebrow shaping, make-up application and consulta tion and costs $195. Finesse offers a comparable total body package called the "Finesse Fantasy Day." "Definitely students would get something from it," says Stephens. "Carolina is a unique campus in that there is room for individual style." Finesse specialists work to main tain a person's style, but they try to get them to "blend while standing out." to raise money over the air with false or deceptive appeals. Transcripts show that Bakker's version of events, in testimony to the FCC, was contradicted 81 times, the documentary says. He was refuted by witnesses 27 times, by written evidence 18 times and by his own testimony 36 times. But Bernstein says the report was pushed aside for two years, re written and watered down. Mark Fowler, then FCC director, and Steve Sharp, then general counsel, denied Bernstein's charges. The program questions whether a federal grand jury would now be investigating PTL if not for the sex-and-money scandal that erupted last March when Bakker resigned from the ministry. Part of PBS's weekly "Frontline" series, the program was researched by investigative reporter Scott Malone and produced by William Cran. "I have the sneaking suspicion that there will not be any prose cutions until after the major pri maries and probably not until after the general election," Malone said in an interview. "The history has been one of foot-dragging on PTL. It's a highly political year, and the fundamentalists are incred ibly important to George Bush."
