Westmister, CA January 30, 2005 -- Chiari Wellness Spa, one of Orange Countys newest day spas, will host an open house between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, February 26, offering free beauty services including: eyebrow and eyelash treatments, manicures and pedicures, mini-makeup applications, paraffin hand treatments, seated (chair) massages, dermalogica face mappingSM and skin scanningSM, and a trunk show by Lisa Michelle Collection.

The event will also feature free refreshments, prize drawings every half hour, free gifts (while supplies last), and a one-day-only sale on special spa packages, services, and products in the spas boutique, with 10% of service proceeds benefiting the Assistance League of Huntington Beachs Operation School Bell campaign.

Assistance League of Huntington Beach is pleased to accept Chiari's generosity, said Pat Byers, Public Relations Chairman of Assistance League of Huntington Beach. She continued, The funds from Chiari's event will go toward our Operation School Bell project which provides new school clothing and shoes for children in need from Head Start through middle school and, this year, we will clothe 1200 children from the Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, and Westminster school districts.

Esthetician Heather Bruening, of Huntington Beach, and massage therapists Joanne Barton, of Seal Beach, and Karen Moore, of Long Beach, are co-owners of Chairi and together have a total of 30 years of experience.

Were hosting this open house to offer free samples of our services to the community, as well as to provide an opportunity for guests to learn about the Assistance League of Huntington Beach and support its worthwhile Operation School Bell program, said Chiari co-owner Heather Bruening.

Barton added, The Assistance League of Huntington Beach is a natural fit since its reach includes Westminster, where Chiari is based, as well as our neighboring towns of Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley. Co-owner Karen Moore said, We believe our clients are interested in programs like Operation School Bell which support local women and children in need. Additionally, Moore continued, though clients come to us from throughout Orange County, most of them reside in local beach cities and coastal communities, so we chose a charity our clients may already support or wish to support.
