Page 22 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • April 9, 2014 CUS on Midland Park Businesses The Body Works: Nelund Minton: The upscale Family-owned for 30 years salon next door T S F ince he purchased Nelund Minton five years ago, Iain Foster has been enjoy- ing the growth of his upscale salon, while retaining the amenities clients have come to expect. While some faces are new, former owner and colorist Jim Minton is still on staff. Iain has added several new services, while continuing to provide the latest in men’s and women’s hair cuts and color, smoothing keratin treatments, hair extensions and waxing. Iain is continuously updat- ing the salon, and has installed new sinks and chairs for clients’ comfort. Yet he has retained the salon’s cozy feel that is enhanced by fresh flowers, coffee, tea, and bagels. Owner Iain Foster Located at 208 Godwin Avenue in Midland Park, Nelund Minton combines the benefits of expertly-trained staff and a convenient, hometown location. “We keep ourselves educated about the newest trends and techniques,” Iain says. “Our hairdressers regularly attend workshops and trade shows on the latest developments in our field.” Iain honed his hairdressing skills in Amsterdam, where he worked for 15 years. He later worked at salons in Fort Lee and Hackensack before joining Nelund Minton a decade ago. He has made the salon as “green” as possible by using products that are envi- ronmentally friendly and non-toxic. Product lines include L’Oreal, Davines, Ianza, Moroccan Oil and Goldwell and Tocco color. Clients are invited to browse Nelund Minton’s line of custom jewelry – and leave looking beautiful and well accessorized. Nelund Minton opens at 9 a.m. Tuesday-Saturday, with late hours on Wednes- day, Thursday, and Friday. Ample parking is available.

The Body Works has been a family-owned and operated auto and mechanical shop since opening its doors in 1983. Sam Eletto is the heart of the operation. He oversees and repairs with the utmost care for each and every vehicle. Sam’s daughter, Sammi, has been work- ing alongside her dad since she was 16, and now manages the shop. Sammi is responsible for writing estimates, handling clients’ claims, making sure repairs are done on time, working with insurance compa- nies, arranging a rental car for clients, and pro- viding a ride or pick up if Sam and Sammi Eletto needed. Her daily input has made the shop a success. She has brought in the current technology and equipment needed to make The Body Works a state-of-the-art auto body shop. The Body Works is an independent, licensed shop. Repairs are available for any type of vehicle. “We work for you, the client, and will work alongside the insurance company representing the vehicle owner during the claims process,” Sam says. Repairs performed at an insurance company’s “direct repair shop” are dictated by the insurance, thus the insurance company becomes the customer as opposed to the owner of the vehicle. As an independent auto body shop, The Body Works deals directly with each customer to ensure that the correct repairs are performed and guarantee the safety of each vehicle that leaves the shop.

Barefoot Carpet & Flooring W elcome to Barefoot Carpet & Flooring, where quality and personalized service is just a phone call away. Owner Thomas Faber, a lifelong resident of Midland Park, has been in the flooring business for 25 years now, and if there is one thing that hasn’t changed is his dedication to bringing his clients the best service possible. Barefoot Carpet & Flooring over the last few years has turned into a mobil shop-at-home service. “I think we have all experienced it,” says Tom. “You go out to look at different samples in a showroom, and by the time you bring them home, they look completely dif- ferent. I have found that my clients would rather shop from the com- fort of their own homes or offices, in the lighting and the atmosphere of the room(s) they are decorating. Thomas Faber Not only is this convenient for my clients, but it also allows me to do what I enjoy the most, which is helping out with the different shades and colors of flooring and being there to answer any questions that might come up. There is really nothing like the shop-at-home experience”. Barefoot Carpet & Flooring carries a wide variety of flooring, which includes carpet, vinyl, laminate, luxury vinyl tile and hardwood. Another great service we offer is our 0% financing for up to one year. For your convenience we are available during the day and evening. Call Bare- foot Carpet & Flooring for an appointment at 201-445-5885 and get ready to sit back, relax and enjoy the luxury of shopping from your own home.
