Pure Luxe Salon, Spa & Medspa


Pure Luxe copyThis month Everything Knoxville is pleased to feature Pure Luxe Salon, Spa & Medspa. This innovative, new approach spa, launched in 2009, is the creation of Knoxville native and entrepreneur, Rusty Bittle. His goal was to offer area residents an extraordinary destination where people could discover a luxury spa that is typically only experienced when visiting the world’s finest resorts and destination spas. A place that beckons guests looking for somewhere to retreat, relax, and rejuvenate, Pure Luxe offers visitors industry-leading salon, spa, and medical spa services in a state-of-the-art, 9,000 square foot facility featuring a team of the area’s most talented and knowledgeable medical and beauty professionals who are totally committed to enhancing your very own unique, Pure Luxe experience.

EK: Share with our readers just what sets Pure Luxe apart from other area salons, spas, and medical spas.

Pure Luxe: We are Knoxville’s only full-service salon, spa, and medspa, which allows our clients to make only one stop for all of their beauty services. If you receive a relaxing massage, try a shampoo and blowout, after which you walk out feeling and looking great. Stopping in for BOTOX? You’re able to get a manicure too while you’re here. It’s so convenient for our clients, and we love having the option to offer them a full range of services.

EK: Before launching Pure Luxe, your founder, Rusty Bittle, visited world-class salons, spas, and medspas that are typically only found in high-end resorts and destination spas. Why was that so important?

Pure Luxe: Having grown up in this area, Rusty knew that there was nothing like Pure Luxe to serve this community. There wasn’t a place where clients could truly feel like they had entered their own personal retreat, where they could leave their stress at the door and physically and mentally begin to rejuvenate. He wanted his Knoxville neighbors to experience the same luxury and pampering he had experienced around the world, combined with a healthy dose of Southern hospitality and superior customer service that you may have thought no longer existed.

EK: Your 9,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility no doubt exceeds most people’s expectations. Why is the unique ambiance experienced at Pure Luxe significant to visitors?

Pure Luxe: Most people aren’t expecting this type of luxurious and relaxing ambiance in Knoxville. It’s almost as if you are stepping into another world as soon as you enter through our doors. The peaceful waterfalls, the dimly lit spa hallways, the extraordinary attention to every detail – they all leave a sense of peace and tranquility whether you are here for five minutes or five hours. Even the drive to Hardin Valley is more relaxing than the alternative congestion of Turkey Creek or West Knoxville you’re accustomed to, even though we’re only a few minutes away.

EK: In addition to offering full salon, spa, and medspa services, Pure Luxe’s team of professionals includes three registered nurses and a physician with more than 75 years of combined medical experience. Tell our readers what their roles are at Pure Luxe.

Pure Luxe: Our highly trained RNs perform the majority of our medspa services. They have backgrounds in fields such as dermatology and plastic surgery, in addition to extensive aesthetics training and experience. Dr. Russell, our Medical Director, oversees the medspa and performs some treatments. Our medical team members fully assess your needs and wants in order to recommend a customized treatment plan just for you. One-on-one consultations are always complimentary and provide a great opportunity to ask questions before deciding on a particular service.

EK: Pure Luxe’s expansive medspa offers BOTOX, dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, laser hair reduction, and weight loss programs, as well as your latest service, CoolSculpting. First, elaborate a little on your existing services.

Pure Luxe: As mentioned, our team of professionals can develop a full treatment plan that meets each client’s needs and wants. That plan could include anything from BOTOX and dermal filler to laser skin resurfacing, sclerotherapy, and more. It is about achieving your expectations, and our team has the experience to do so. As a bonus, you receive these treatments in our lovely facility, which has the same luxurious feel of our salon and spa. You avoid the sterile environment of a doctor’s office without compromising your safety or results.

EK: I know our readers are excited to learn more about CoolSculpting.

Pure Luxe: We’re excited to offer it, too! CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that freezes stubborn fat, which is then naturally eliminated from your body. It’s a revolutionary procedure we wish had existed years ago! Men and women of all shapes and sizes are appropriate candidates. There are no needles, no special diets or supplements, and no surgery required to permanently eliminate those areas of fat that have bothered you for years but are resistant to diet and exercise. Best of all, there is no downtime! Our clients and employees have been thoroughly impressed with their results, especially since this is a safe, FDA-cleared treatment that actually does what it says it will do.

EK: What can a client expect when they come in for a CoolSculpting treatment?

Pure Luxe: A CoolSculpting treatment day is very simple. You begin by changing into a comfortable spa robe then relaxing in the Men’s or Women’s Lounge. The nurse then takes you to the CoolSculpting room where you relax on a reclining chair while she assesses your areas of concern and begins the treatment. Since we have two machines and multiple applicators, each treatment takes approximately one hour. Even love handles and other dual-sided areas take one hour instead of two, which maximizes your time with us. During that hour, you can read, answer emails on your iPad, or we’ll dim the lights so you can take a nap. You could even receive your BOTOX treatment! At the end of the hour, you’re able to get up and proceed with your day as usual.

EK: Speaking of BOTOX, Pure Luxe also offers a unique BOTOX club, called Club 90 Ten. Tell us more.

Pure Luxe: Club 90 Ten is an exclusive BOTOX club that helps members stay on a regular treatment schedule. For a minimal annual fee, members receive reduced pricing throughout the year – lower than any other special offers – in addition to member-only perks like discounts on other medspa services. This club has become very popular with our BOTOX clients.

EK: Any final thoughts or comments you would like to share with our readers?

Pure Luxe: Our vision for Pure Luxe is to provide the very best customer service in an environment that can truly be your retreat. All of our team members are well-trained, experienced, and excited to serve you. So whether you are stopping in for a brow wax or spending a full day of pampering with us, we’ll help you escape the stresses of life while providing you a truly enjoyable Pure Luxe experience.

Decorating Den Interiors


By Sandy Kozar, Award-Winning Interior Designer

Decorating Den Interiors copyMy road to becoming an Interior Designer began with my interest in art from a very young age. Painting watercolors while living in Southern California, I realized that I wanted to do more. That is when I attended Fullerton College and studied design under a prominent Santa Monica architect, as well as one of the founding members of the American Society of Interior Designers.

My education, combined with my family relocating several times across this beautiful country, gives me a unique perspective that I bring to my clients’ homes. I relate to all types of design styles and create “lifestyle” designs based on the client’s individual needs. Whether traditional, contemporary, transitional, or any number of design styles, I strive to create the “room of their dreams.”

Thankfully, my road came to Knoxville. It was the right choice for our family, as we had been visiting our family here for more than 20 years. This was home – and has been for the past five years.

I opened a Decorating Den Interiors franchise. (There are more than 400 franchise owners nationwide.) Purchasing the franchise allows me take advantage of their support and resources. My supplier listing is so vast and comprehensive; it is the envy of any independent designer! Plus, we do not charge for our time as most independent designers do, but for the items they are purchasing only.

I always begin with telling my clients that we do lifestyle design based on their wants and needs and not what I think the room should be. This helps the client realize that they are an integral part of the process. I provide a service to them – not by dragging them all around town “shopping,” but by bringing fabrics, finishes, and the designs to their home, saving them precious time and money.

Also, doesn’t it make sense to see everything in the light of your own home? I have had clients call me after they have made a major purchase on their own, only to discover it didn’t fit in the room properly, or the scale was out of proportion, or the color or finish was just wrong for the room. I encourage clients to call me before they begin designing a room, as I can save them these types of costly mistakes. Why not make that simple phone call? We offer a complimentary consultation for you to get to know us and for us to get to know you and your project.

Sometimes people are intimidated to call a designer. Did you know that the majority of the clients I work with have never worked with a designer before? After using our services, they say they will never do it any other way, and the time savings and convenience was great!

Did you also know that we install everything in the room in one day? It’s fun and exciting to see the client’s face as they walk into their newly decorated room for the first time. That’s the best part of my job!

Whether it is one room, an entire home, or you are building your dream home, I encourage you to experience the Decorating Den Interiors difference. Discover why I have recently been awarded an International Dream Room Award and was graciously awarded first place for designing a home from the design, to the brick, to the finishing touches in the 2012 Parade of Homes in Knoxville. My work has also been featured on HGTV’s website and will be published soon in Real Kitchens magazine.

I love living in Knoxville and the wonderful people I have had the privilege of working with on their homes. Why not create your “dream room” by simply calling us today for your complimentary consultation?

Entrepreneur


The Competition

By Tom Irmen

Throughout the course of a year, I am afforded the opportunity to meet with hundreds of small business owners. Frequently, while helping our clients develop their individual marketing strategies, the topic of competition arises. Their competitive responses vary widely, from complete indifference to rage. I actually had one small business owner state that he would cause physical harm to his principal competitor if given the opportunity. While I didn’t take him seriously, it was apparent from his comments that his competition had really gotten under his skin.

Competition is inevitable. In fact, it can be downright helpful.

I recently listened to the CEO of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange being asked during an interview about the competitive pressures his company was experiencing from competitive exchanges. He was most gracious in his response. While acknowledging the competitive pressures that the CME faces, he reminded the interviewer that, if it were not for competition, his exchange would still be trading in butter and eggs as it had earlier in its 100-plus year history.

How do you respond to your competitors? Ignoring them is unwise. It’s important to evaluate them closely to try to discern any changes they may be implementing which might be signaling a marketplace change. You also need to monitor them for potential opportunities which might be successfully exploited.

I’m sorry, but rage is just stupid. I’ve observed numerous small business owners, and a few big ones, too, who are virtually obsessed with their competition. They often spend more time contemplating their competitor’s next move than they do implementing their own marketing strategy. Rage has the potential to paralyze a small business owner, taking them out of their game as they remain preoccupied with their competition.

The owner of a small retail electronics store was asked by his landlord if he thought it might be advisable for him to relocate since Best Buy was going to be moving into the same retail plaza. The owner, instead, used this worst case scenario to his full advantage. He decided to focus on differentiating his electronics store from Best Buy by promoting his associates’ superior product knowledge. Best Buy brought in the customers, many of whom visited his store as well. His strategy paid off, and he was rewarded with double digit growth year after year.

What does the competition manifest in you? Ignore them, or express rage, at your own peril. Study them, successfully differentiate yourself, and your competition might be the best thing that ever happened to your small business.

Rhinocoate


Where beauty is more than surface deep

If you’re tired of that dull, dirty, and stained garage floor, and who isn’t, or if you just want to liven up that cold, uninviting, grey concrete basement floor, deck, or patio, Rhinocoate can help you create a stunning, seamless masterpiece that will make you the envy of the neighborhood. You may even be tempted to leave your garage door open.

Not just any floor coating, and certainly not a finish that you’ll find at the big-box stores, Rhinocoate is a proprietary surface finish with a patented wicking technology designed to prevent most failures. Rhinocoate is a so confident in their floor finishes that they offer homeowners a lifetime guarantee for as long as they own their homes.

This proprietary Rhinocoate system is first applied only after the surface has been properly prepared. They next apply a proprietary epoxy that “wicks” deep into the concrete, creating a bond three times stronger than ordinary epoxy or polyaspartic systems.

Next, your selection of multi-colored flakes are applied to create the finish you selected. Note that they do not use recycled flakes.

Finally, they apply their Extreme Gloss Polyurea Topcoat in your finish to provide you with absolutely the best looking, chemical and abrasion resistant surface available in the industry that will continue to shine when the others have started to fade.

Rhinocoate is also available in solid colors, or you may want to inquire about their patented and proprietary stains that can achieve an altogether unique look and feel.

Interested? Call 865-399-5991 today and discover how the highest quality materials and workmanship combine to create a stunning and attractive concrete surface that is more than surface deep. Also, mention this article to receive $100 off your installation of Rhinocoate.

Ironic


By Courtney Craig

Ironic copyWhen it comes to wrought iron, there’s one place in Knoxville that has everything you need: Ironic.

The unique home décor and gift shop, located in Bearden, specializes in handmade wrought iron. Owner Holly Honeycutt says the store’s 9th anniversary is what inspired the remodel.

“We’ve been open since 2004 and are currently undergoing a remodeling project that will result in all kinds of NEW!” said Holly. “We’ll have a new look, new store hours (Tuesday through Friday from 10 am to 6 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm), new neighbors, and lots of new inventory.”

The wrought iron products sold at Ironic include wall decorations, bed headboards, shelves, patio furniture, candle holders and lanterns, seasonal decorations, and much more.

“One of our most exciting new things will be the introduction of a new line of hand-crafted wooden furniture from Ingrained,” said Holly. “The items are very complementary to our existing iron pieces and will look great in a home of any style.”

Ingrained is a new line of locally made, handcrafted wooden furniture.

“The Ingrained pieces are made from reclaimed wood, so each one has a unique story,” Holly continued. “A variety of woods are used, which also adds to the unique flair. The style is fairly rustic, but we have the ability to create custom pieces in the customer’s favorite style.”

The reclaimed wood used for Ingrained comes from Amish communities in Pennsylvania and locally from surrounding areas. Ingrained furniture is made in a shop on the bank of the Tennessee River in Spring City by third-generation woodworkers. There are no veneers or particle board; just solid wood.

The use of reclaimed wood is very important to the woodworking family for three reasons: First, reclaimed wood leaves less of an impact on the environment; second, every piece of reclaimed wood has a history – it might have been part of the old walking bridge in Chattanooga or the floor of an old home in Pennsylvania; and third, reclaimed wood has a beauty and patina that can’t be reproduced.   

All the Ingrained products are hand-planed and hand-scraped for a beautiful, unique, high-quality piece of furniture. Ingrained can create any finish a customer wants and build a special piece based on their ideas and needs. Customers don’t even pay more for custom jobs; the cost is simply based on wood and time.

Ingrained offers tables of all kinds, including farmhouse, trestle, desks, coffee tables, sideboards, sofa tables, cricket tables, benches, large leaning mirrors, and more. The line fits in with Ironic’s other products because there’s a natural connection between handmade furniture made locally with reclaimed materials and Ironic’s handmade iron pieces. They can be beautifully integrated into customers’ homes, inside or outside.  

All iron items at Ironic are double-coated with a rust-protective sealant to help prevent weathering. Ironic will also paint any item for a certain charge, depending on the size of the item.

Customers also are allowed to take any item home on a trial basis. A check or credit card will be held for two days while the customer decides if the item is right for their home.

“Ironic is different than other Knoxville home décor boutiques because of the quality and nature of our products,” said Holly. “Almost everything in the store is handmade and fit for indoor or outdoor use. We are also very hands-on in the buying process. Almost nothing comes from a traditional catalogue, so you won’t find our pieces in any other stores.” 

Ironic also offers many services to customers in addition to selling products. Gift certificates are available. Customers can also create a wish list to let family and friends know about items they’d like to receive for birthdays, holidays, or any other occasion. Engaged couples can create a registry to let guests know how they’d like to decorate their new home together.

“My favorite thing about wrought iron is its versatility,” said Holly. “I can sell a similar piece to three different customers and know that it will look special in each home regardless of their overall style. A piece one chooses to be a grand focal point may just be a small accent to another.”

Ironic is located at 5054 Kingston Pike in Knoxville. For more information, call 865-588-3131 or visit www.ironichomedecor.com. Holly can be reached by email at holly@ironichomedecor.com.

Family Psychology Group


Childhood Educational and Behavioral Solutions

Family Psychology GroupAcademic, learning, and educational difficulties can be caused by a number of conditions and have a profound impact on your child’s learning and behavior. In the classroom, learning difficulties can lead to shame and embarrassment. If it goes untreated, it can cause behavioral difficulties both in the classroom and at home.

It’s estimated that nationally, more than half of 12th graders are below proficient in reading and more than two thirds of 8th graders are below proficient. While learning disabilities can be one cause of poor academic progress, there can be other reasons why your child is not learning or achieving to their ability. At Family Psychology Group, we specialize in the assessment of learning and behavioral difficulties.

A comprehensive assessment can not only identify where there may be a difficulty with your child, but also how best to remediate or treat the difficulties he or she is having. Children with learning difficulties may also benefit from accommodations in the classroom, in college courses, and standardized testing situations. However, schools and professional testing organizations require a complete assessment of learning when considering one’s need for these accommodations.

If you feel your child is having difficulties in any academic area, we can help. Whether your child needs remedial assistance or help with your child maintaining their academic skills, summer is a great time to work on their skills.

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Axtell, contact Family Psychology Group at 865-556-6092 or visit www.familypsychologygroup.com.

Marsh Professional Group, LLC


CPAs and Financial Advisors

Marsh Professional Group, LLC copyIt used to be that, as consumers, we would go to one place to have our income taxes prepared, another place to get investment advice, and yet another place to get legal advice. At the end of the day, it was our responsibility to keep up with all of the decisions being made that impacted our financial world and hope nothing was overlooked – but not anymore. At Everything Knoxville, we found a group of Certified Public Accountants that have created a unique financial planning experience – every financial, estate, and legal service you need is offered under one roof.

EK: Yvonne, tell our readers a little bit about Marsh Professional Group, and describe for them the services you provide.

Yvonne: We are a team of CPA’s and independent financial advisors who partner with an experienced estate attorney to provide our clients with a fully-integrated financial planning service. We provide income tax preparation and tax minimization reviews, we help clients make sound financial decisions to protect their family’s future, and we give them the knowledge and tools to make smart, informed investment decisions. Also, by partnering with an estate attorney, we can make sure that their legacy plans are well thought out and documented. We’re a “one-stop-shop” of financial professionals, I guess you could say.

EK: How unusual is it for a full-service CPA firm to offer this complete range of financial planning services?

Yvonne: To my knowledge, we are the only CPA firm in Knoxville providing this entire suite of services in one location.

EK: How did you become interested in financial planning?

Yvonne: I started my career as an auditor in public accounting, which taught me how to listen and pay attention to detail. I was always drawn to helping friends and family with their tax and investment questions, so when I had an opportunity to transition into the financial advisory practice, I jumped at the opportunity. After we moved to Knoxville and my daughter was born, I wanted more work/life flexibility, so I started an online business, which I ran successfully before selling it a few years ago to rejoin the financial planning industry. My experiences as a CPA, small business owner, and a working parent help me view things from my clients’ perspective. I find it rewarding to help people make those hard financial decisions and give them the peace of mind they deserve.

EK: What is the biggest obstacle people face when they’re trying to make financial decisions?

Yvonne: I think it’s lack of time actually. We are all so busy managing our daily lives that it can be almost impossible to find the time to manage our financial life as well. It’s easy to push the decisions to another day, but the needs remain – to plan for our children’s college education and our own retirement, to make informed investment decisions, and even to help our aging parents manage their finances. So I developed a solution for myself and for my clients – I call it the Financial Foundation organizer.

EK: What is the Financial Foundation organizer?

Yvonne: We create a unique custom organizer that is our clients to keep. It reflects their entire financial world, from bank accounts, investments, debts, insurance policies, retirement plans, wills, and estate planning documents, just to name a few. Not only does it allow you to keep track of how you are doing, but it is an invaluable tool to your spouse and adult children to have all of this information gathered in one spot. We even include a Survivor’s Checklist to help with the financial decisions that must be made at the loss of a loved one. Also, importantly, it provides me the basis I need as a financial advisor to see where my clients are on their financial journey so I can get them to where they want to be.

EK: So along with providing tax services, help our readers understand the scope of financial planning services you provide.

Yvonne: How much space do I have? Just kidding… First and foremost, we get to know our clients – what financial goals and dreams are important to them. While we definitely help people answer their most pressing financial questions about “how much is enough?” for college savings and retirement income planning, we also dig deeper into the next layer of questions regarding such things as long-term care, social security maximization, income tax minimization, and proper investment diversification. Perhaps most importantly, we make sure that our clients’ investment holdings match their risk personalities so they aren’t riding the stock market roller coaster without a seat belt. We even provide a 401(k) review to ensure they have the proper mix of mutual funds and their investments in their employer’s retirement plan.


EK: So once you’ve created a plan for someone, you can also help them with investment decisions if they need it?

Yvonne: Yes, sometimes just building the plan isn’t enough and clients seek advice on their investment holdings. The most pressing question is definitely how to create income while protecting their principal. Safety and security is the name of the game, and if I’m going to recommend a certain type of investment to a client, I want to be able to follow the process to the end and be sure they get the best options available for them. Since I’m an independent advisor, I don’t have an agenda to promote any particular product or investment. I’m actually an Investment Advisor Representative, which means I am held to a higher “fiduciary” standard than what is generally found in the broker dealer world.

EK: The question I’m sure is on everyone’s mind… is this an expensive process?

Yvonne: It’s really not. Our advisory fees are very reasonably priced, and after our first complimentary meeting, I provide the client an exact quote of what their planning fee would be based on their goals and the level of assistance I can provide them.

EK: What types of clients do you work with?

Yvonne: A wide variety, actually. One reason I love my job is that I get to work with people in all phases of their financial life, though I most frequently work with individuals and couples over age 50 who are managing not only their own financial life, but perhaps helping their aging parents also. They definitely call it “the sandwich generation” for a reason! I also work with young couples and parents just starting out, women in transition due to divorce or widowhood, as well as small business owners.

EK: What is the best way for our readers to learn if you can help them achieve their individual financial goals?

Yvonne: Just give our office a call and set up a complimentary meeting with me. It gives us a chance to get to know each other and see how I might be of service. There’s no cost or obligation – just an opportunity to have your questions answered.

EK: In closing, is there anything else you would like to add?

Yvonne: Just that I hope people can be encouraged about their financial future, even if they have had some setbacks these last few years. Maybe their dreams are different now than they used to be, but they can still be attainable. I’d love an opportunity to give your readers some peace of mind that comes with having a comprehensive plan.
