A new chapter began for Chantelle Sawatsky as she celebrated her new venture CS Pedicures. On April 3 an official ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at 4924 50 Ave in Lakeland Mall. Her space boasts elegance and simplicity creating an intimate, luxurious, individually curated pedicure experience. Her services include polish changes, basic pedicures as well as spa pedicures and she hopes to incorporate hot rock leg and foot massage soon. She said, ”I would like everyone to leave my salon feeling rejuvenated and confident.”

The ceremony marked an exciting moment for Sawatsky to move into a store front location. Town of Vermilion Councillor Kirby Whitlock settled himself into the cozy black leather massage chair dipping his feet into the basin of warm bubbling water. Councillors Robert Pulyk and Robert Snow, were also on hand to mark the occasion, joined by Economic Development Officer Mary Lee Prior and Chamber Executive Director Karen Hughes. To officially welcome Sawatsky to the local business community, the group presented her with a welcome plaque on behalf of the town.

Sawatsky, who settled in Vemilion six years ago, expressed her excitement at getting started. “By far the proudest moment so far was my opening day. Seeing everything come together was just amazing,” commented Sawatsky.

As part of her opening, she is currently offering a scratch and win card with all gift card purchases for the month of April.

Sawatsky expressed gratitude for the clientele she currently serves and the new ones she will welcome.

Members of the Town Council, Economic Development, and the Vermilion Chamber wished Sawatsky every success as she embarks on this new business venture, CS Pedicures.
