KRISTIE LYONS KNOWS FIRSTHAND HOW UNCOMFORTABLE IT CAN BE EVEN TO DISCUSS UNWANTED HAIR, LET ALONE DEAL WITH IT. That's why she launched a new business around treating unwanted hair and regaining self-assurance. As the owner of Lyons Electrolysis & Lashes at 2028 Kentucky Ave. in Vestavia Hills, Kristie is one of only a few certified electrologists in Alabama, a state she says doesn't require licensing to perform the procedure. She adds that electrolysis is the only FDA-approved solution for permanent hair removal, compared to laser treatments that are just for reduction.Â "I had electrolysis done myself, and my mom was always self-conscious of her unwanted facial hair," she says. "I and my friends have been through it, and my passion is to help people get their self-confidence back. "It warms my heart, and I'm so glad to be helping people. I know how wonderful it is to regain that happiness." Kristie says she knows people are nervous and don't know what to expect, so she seeks to surround them in comfort. In fact, each patient gets a personal eye mask that is reserved for them to reuse with each visit. That's also why there are no bright lights in her patient environment. CONTINUED >

They also support silent auction fundraisers for charities with fun items from their design center.

DIRECTIONS 1. Make sure to have all of your materials gathered before starting the project for easy assembly. 2. Take your half-circle stamping blanks, large gold bars and medium gold bars and arrange them in the order you want your earrings to flow. You can see how we arranged ours, but consider switching up the placement of each item for varying earring styles. 3. Mark where each of the holes line up on the individual pieces.

4. Once you have your spots marked, carefully and precisely punch holes in your individual pieces. Once all of your holes are punched, connect each piece with the desired size of jump ring. 5. For an added touch, punch extra holes in the bottom piece and finish off with knotted embroidery thread for a bohemian tassel effect.

PIECE BY PIECE

Use both your bent nose forceps and needle nose pliers to secure each end of the jump ring. Gently twist the jump ring to open the gap, and place the jump ring through the holes in the pieces you are connecting. When securely through both pieces, gently twist the jump ring in the opposite direction to close the gap and secure the pieces. 30
