Local swimmers take gold with Team USA at championships After being tested on flexibility, strength, and synchronized swimming techniques the two were selected to be on a team of 10 to represent the United States at the UANA Pan American Synchronized Swimming Championships. The games are an international synchronized swimming competition that North and South American countries compete in. It is typically held at the end of summer annually in a different country each year. Outside of the team event, each girl on the team also competes in individual events known as figures. Maya placed in the top 16 out of all other girls there from various countries, while Ivy placed in the top eight of competitors from around North and South America. “Both placements are quite an accomplishment,” Kuchan said. The girls are planning to take a brief recoup now that the games are over before beginning their training for the 2016-2017 season with the Scottsdale Synchronized Swimming Team at McDowell Mountain Ranch Aquatic Center on Thompson Peak Parkway.

Synchronized swimmers Ivy Davis and Maya Schwickert represented the United States in Puerto Rico.
Two synchronized swimmers from Scottsdale scored a gold medal with Team USA at the UANA Pan American Synchronized Swimming Championships in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the beginning of September. Ivy Davis and Maya Schwickert, from the Scottsdale Synchronized Swimming Team, represented their club and the United States as part of the 12 and under National Synchronized Swimming Team at the games. In the 12 and under team final, the United States took gold, finishing with 133.7600 points. Canada was second at 130.6655 and Colombia was third with 120.2881. “As a coach, and former national team athlete myself, I understand how challenging of a process it is to even be on the national team let alone compete for your country in an international competition. So we are so very proud of them for accomplishing that at such a young age,” said Scottsdale Synchronized Swimming Team coach Jamie Kuchan. Kuchan said Ivy and Maya were selected as two of only a small group of top athletes in the country to go through a rigorous tryout process that began in January. The two then advanced to the next phase of tryouts held in the spring.

Rose Hair Studio offers caring and pampering touch By Alison Stanton Rochelle Baumgartner is passionate about pampering clients at her salons, The Rose Hair Studio in Goodyear and Scottsdale. Salons are in her blood, as her mom owned them in the 1980s. So it was only natural that Baumgartner would open her own. About six years ago, Baumgartner opened the Goodyear location. Two years ago she opened the second salon in Scottsdale. One of the best parts of owning her own studio, Baumgartner said, is that hair styling and coloring is a family affair. Her mom, June Seney, and daughter, Aislinn Schwartz, both work with her. “We are an Aveda Concept Salon, so we only use Aveda products. They are organic and plant-based and are made with essential oils,” Baumgartner said. One of Aveda’s key philosophies is that every client who comes in is not just a head of hair, but a whole person who should have their mind, body and spirit cared for, she said. “We offer our clients Aveda tea or water, and then we also give them a shoulder massage and hand massage and we do makeup touchups as well,” she said. “If you go into other salons, you usually don’t see all of these extra services. They are all

feel like they are getting extra value.” The Scottsdale location has 10 stations, and is the bigger of the two hair studios. “We specialize in color, hair smoothing, perms—everything to do with hair,” she said. “We also do facials, waxing and makeup.” Baumgartner said they work with men and women, and see a wide range of ages. “We get a lot of retired people, but my staff is young so we see a lot of young people, too.” Baumgartner said she, her mom, daughter and the rest of the staff all enjoy getting to know their clients, many of whom are repeat customers. They are also happy when new customers come in, and offer $20 off to new clients who spend $40 or more during the first appointment. In the case of older clients, Baumgartner knows she might be the only interaction they get all day. “I think that is what I love the most. It really makes a big difference in their lives, and I also love that we can help them feel pretty. It really makes a big difference when someone feels pretty,” she said. The Rose Hair Studio is located at 8664 E. Shea Blvd., Suite 158, Scottsdale. For more information, call 480-970-1711 or visit therosehairstudio.com.

By Carson Mlnarik Brooke Roe was inspired by her own lack of output when it came to DIY projects. To nudge herself and others, she created Pinspiration, with the tagline “Where community meets creativity.” She wanted to break down the walls that were preventing people from finishing their projects. She found that expenses, equipment, fear of failure and even lack of creative space were stopping many Pinners from completing the projects they liked the most. “Inspiration is contagious and there is nothing like the energy that comes from surrounding yourself with other creative people,” said Roe, who is hosting a booth at the Pinners Conference at WestWorld in Scottsdale Friday, Oct. 7, and Saturday, Oct. 8. “Plus, there is always the glitter. We love the glitter.” Armed with glue gun, the Scottsdale resident created a hip studio space in
Phoenix, allowing everyone to get in touch with their inner DIY artist. The Pinspiration staff provides the tools for guests, who have the option to choose from one of the month’s most “pinned” projects online or work off an idea they have in their head. The group hosts workshops on everything from calligraphy to painting as well as corporate events, birthday parties and group get-togethers. “We think it’s really important for people who are passionate about Making to have a place to come together and celebrate all-things-DIY,” Roe said. The DIY community was at the heart of Pinspiration’s conception, so their support at a communal celebration for crafting is a no-brainer. Pinspiration is also teaching class at 3:30 p.m. Saturday called “We Heart String Art.” Instructors will show participants how to “nail” the popular Pinterest project by creating a string art piece to take home.

Years of nature love at Boyce Thompson Arboretum By Kimberly Hosey Like any sentimental mother who can’t believe her little cherub is already a surly teenager, I’ve taken (and frequently look back on) my share of snapshots. Happily, with one destination that’s become a family tradition, I have a ready-made excuse, as well as a lovely background for those photos. My son and I have regularly visited Boyce Thompson Arboretum, which houses more than 3,000 different desert plants as well as the animals that call the plants and environment home, since shortly after he learned to walk. In those days, it was the best local spot I knew to take long walks and expose him to the natural world. As time went by and we got to know the trails well, we found favorite spots: the main trail as it winds around a canyon rim, flowers alive with hummingbirds and butterflies and many more. We’ve visited at all seasons, become members and even volunteered there. On this particular trip we enjoyed the fresh feeling that comes from a recent rain, looked for queen butterfly chrysalises on milkweed plants, and learned more about our local desert lizards—greater earless lizards, tree lizards, the big spiny lizards and even a tiger whiptail—and got to study a few in detail as they were safely caught and then released by our guide. We’ve been on most of the interpretive tours the arboretum offers; exploring plants,
“Learn Your Lizards” guided walking tours at the arboretum give visitors a primer on identifying the reptiles, as well as opportunities to get up-close and personal with a few lizards.

lizards, butterflies, dragonflies and more. The groups often, but not always, include other children. This time, he was the youngest participant. It didn’t matter; everyone turns into kids as we have up-close encounters with nature. We’re all learning here. After our tour, we checked out the Hummingbird and Butterfly Garden as a family with several kids joined us. Two kids paused in the path to watch birds in the water fountain, bringing us to a stop. The father apologized, but I told him he needn’t worry. We were stopping to watch. The opportunities at the arboretum are limited only by your and your kids’ interests. One highlight not to miss is the Children’s Garden, a well-designed collection of mazes, flowers, mosaics and more. Kids can navigate the maze and pretend to be javelinas, excavate “fossils,” watch butterflies dance among the flowers, become a human sundial and more. It’s all about interacting with the natural world. The arboretum has many events and interpretive walks coming up in the next few months, great for all members of the family: Saturday, Sept. 24—September brings the autumnal equinox, observed by cultures from the ancient Greeks to Aboriginal Australians. The Arboretum
has a day filled with events starting just after sunrise with the annual Bye Bye Buzzards seasonal send-off. View and learn about the resident flock on the cliffs before they start their daily soaring. Vulture viewing is from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., with a guided bird walk to follow from 8:30 to 10 a.m. 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 24—Geology Walking Tour: Geology rocks— literally—as the minerals and volcanic formations along the Main Trail take center stage as guests cover almost 2 billion years of geologic history with professional geologist Rich Leveille. 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 24— Butterfly Walk: Queens, Empress Leilia, spring azures and more: The fancy names and their flashy owners delight during leisurely walk through the Hummingbird-Butterfly Garden, Demonstration Garden and Children’s Garden collections, led by local butterfly researchers and experts. 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 1— Dragonfly Walk: Blue-eyed and common green darners, flame and roseate skimmers, Mexican amberwings, blue dashers: Even the names are colorful.

insects, and learn more about their life cycle and how they hunt. 8:30 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays: Oct. 1, 2, 9, 15, 29 and Nov. 13 and 19— Guided Bird Walk: Discover how to spot (and listen for) warblers, cardinals and many more birds during this interpretive walk led by local bird experts.

The arboretum also offers history walks, photography workshops, home school day tours and more. The arboretum is open daily from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. through September, and changes to its fall and winter hours in October, when it is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for ages 5-12, and children younger than 5 are free.

How to make a front-yard zombie Anyone who has flown in the last decade has flipped through Skymall. One of the most memorable products was the “Zombie of Montclaire Moors” sculpture, which appears to be clawing its way out of the owner’s yard. I’ve always loved the concept, but never wanted to spend more than $120 for the novelty. I have since realized I could make my own, and Halloween is going to be a little spookier this year. law talk

mask like I did (Frankenstein), the paint can do wonders for hiding clues that your zombie started out as a more famous character. A wellplaced bruise, ripped flesh or streak of blood can cover a lot of stitches and bolts.

expensive homes
You will need: a 25-pound box of rapid-set cement, two 1 foot x 3/8 inch rebar, bucket and stir, bucket, one set of dollar store cleaning gloves, full face monster mask (check thrift shops, I found mine for only $2.99), duct tape, length of bamboo broken into three pieces and outdoor paint. Step 1 Use duct tape to cover the eye and nose holes of the monster mask. Make sure to put the tape on the outside of the mask or else an imprint of the shape of the tape will remain on your cast. Empty 2/3 of the concrete to your bucket and slowly add water until you’ve achieved a consistency similar to a milkshake. Have someone hold the mask open and pour the concrete into it filling every nook and cranny. Put two holes in the mask, one on either side of the face and thread the bamboo through the holes so the face is hanging down. Suspend the mask from the bamboo pole until the concrete solidifies. (If you lay the mask on the ground to solidify, it will flatten and not retain a humane-like shape.)
Page 22
Step 2 You will need a way to suspend the two gloves while you fill them with concrete. I happened to have two bulk-sized snack canisters which did the trick. A 5-gallon bucket would also work, or two piles of bricks or wood. Put holes through the tops of each glove, then use the remaining two pieces of bamboo to thread through the holes. Suspend the gloves by the bamboo. Mix the rest of the concrete, again going for a milkshake-like consistency. Pour into each of the gloves until there’s only about 1 inch left at the top.
While the concrete is setting, use rocks to bend the fingers into clawlike positions. Take care not to bend the fingers at very extreme angles or the fingers could break when you’re removing the gloves. When the concrete is just about to solidify, insert one piece of rebar into each glove, about halfway. They should stand up straight without any help. Step 3 You can remove the castings from their molds as early as two hours after setting. I recommend waiting overnight, however. You can tell that the process is finished when the concrete is no longer hot to the touch. Carefully strip the plastic away from the concrete mold. You may have to use a razor blade on some
of the tighter areas of the fingers. If done carefully, the rubber mask can be removed without cutting and be reused for more castings. Step 4 When the concrete is set and cooled, it can be painted. I made two sets of monsters, one for me and one for my kids. They wanted their zombie to have a greenish pallor so I used a can of green spray paint on their monster. I left mine concrete gray because we know that dead flesh turns gray over time, or so say zombie movies. After the spray paint, it was just a matter of decorating the heads and faces to look like zombies. I only used red, white and black outdoor
acrylic paint and mixed it with water when I needed it to spread like a bruise or a shadow. If you end up with a very easy to identify monster
Nearby News • For News Around Our Neighborhood
NOTE: I broke a number of monster fingers when I was removing the gloves from the cast. I glued them back on and used red paint (blood) to hide the fractures and glue. I even left one finger off, painted the break black and put a dab of white in the middle to indicate where a bone would be. Step 5 The only thing left is to find a spot for your zombie to claw out of your yard. This will require some digging of two approximately 10-inch holes, but you want to make it look like the arms are emerging from the otherwise solid ground. For effect, you could leave some small piles of dirt in front of the hands. Clear out the top layer of rocks or dirt in the middle of the two hands and set 6 inches to 12 inches back for the head, then fill the earth back in around the edges. All that’s left now is to scare the neighbors with your very own yard zombie.

Four more years We’re in the middle of a presidential election year (boy are we ever) and the nation is firmly focused on the next four years. What will they bring? Will things change, or stay the same? My household is experiencing a similar situation, although our focus has nothing to do with campaign strategies, polls or votes. We are staring down the nose of four more years. Our last four. It’s the number we have to go before our youngest son graduates. For us, it’s been a long time coming. When our son receives his diploma in four years we will have spent 23 consecutive years in school. Or at least our kids will have. But any parent knows education is a family affair. Our daughter first rode the kindergarten bus back in the last millennium. The year was 1997. We had a Clinton in the White House.
a photo of our child descending the vehicle’s steps. If we’d been hip, we would have used the newly invented camera phone, but we have never been that cutting edge. In 2003 I was still using a 35mm that required film. Imagine! Apple launched a new music store called iTunes and Skype was released to the public. Facebook was a year away from existence. Families throughout the country were intent on finding Nemo while Will Ferrell played a lovable elf in movie theaters. At a whopping 766 pages, the fifth Harry Potter book hit the shelves. Our little caboose rode the kindergarten bus in 2007. It was the same year a senator from Illinois named Barack Obama announced his candidacy for president. The first generation iPhone came equipped with a new feature—a touchscreen. The savviest among us posted our kindergarten videos on YouTube (created in 2004) and limited our commentary to 140 characters or less on Twitter, which had been around for just a couple of years. The show “Mad Men” premiered and viewers watched the final episode of “The Sopranos.” The federal minimum

wage increased for the first time in a decade, from $5.15 to $5.85 per hour and gas cost about $2.80 a gallon. The seventh book about Harry Potter was published, giving readers the satisfaction that Voldemort finally got his comeuppance and good guys occasionally do win in the end. My family’s long-term relationship with public education will be complete in four more years. The world has changed in significant ways since we started this journey 19 years ago and there are more unfolding as we speak. The newest book in the Harry Potter series is available for diehard fans. And, perhaps even more noteworthy, in January a new president will enter the White House. It’s a pivotal period for the wizarding world and our nation. I hope things go well for both. As I do for my son’s next four years. High school is also a pivotal period and I hope his experience is not only magical but presidential.

Our family didn’t possess even one cellphone, much less six. No one had heard of the Google because it was a year away from being invented. We watched “Titanic” and “Men in Black” on the big screen. The federal minimum wage increased from $4.75 per hour to $5.15. The first Harry Potter book was released leaving us all talking about Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Three years later, when our son started school, George Bush and Al Gore ended campaigns in a presidential election that left us chatting about chads. Global Positioning System, better known as GPS, became available for nonmilitary use and the first hybrid car hit the roads. The reality show, “Survivor,” hit the small screen.

Lic# 4147
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Chris Difford of Squeeze is in a good place. The English pop band, which kicks off its U.S. tour at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday, Sept. 21, is pleased that the act has witnessed a resurgence since the 2015 release of the album “Cradle to the Grave.” “We’re fortunate to get back on the radio and have people buy our records again,” Difford said via telephone from England. “You don’t get many bites at the cherry when you’re at this end of your career. I think we’re very lucky and we should make the most of it.” “Cradle to the Grave” is Squeeze’s first album of new material in 17 years, which is why the collection’s success comes as a surprise to Difford. The songs were commissioned for a similarly named British sitcom, “Cradle to Grave.” “A friend of ours (Danny Baker) wrote a script for a TV show and asked us to write the music for it,” he said. “We thought we would have to make our songs fit the script. He said, ‘Forget that. Write a really
good Squeeze album.’ That’s exactly what we did.” Those songs will be the focus of Squeeze’s SCPA show. “We’ll be primarily playing songs from it and all the usual songs that people love Squeeze for,” he said. “It’s a tapestry of all things.” Some of those hits are “Black Coffee in Bed,” “Up the Junction,” “Tempted,” “Pulling Mussels (from the Shell)” and “Hourglass”—all staples on classic rock radio. “We’re really fortunate to have had a history that stands up and timeless in a way,” Difford said. “That’s the nature of Squeeze.”

What’s Cooking? By Jan D’Atri
Hamburger Pancakes I just love this recipe. Not the least of which is the name: hamburger pancakes. I also love the stories behind the recipe. Hamburger pancakes were made popular during wartime when rationing was top of mind. Here what one of my favorite vintage cookbooks, “Cooking On a Ration,” said about 1943: “We have taken a sudden nosedive from happy-go-lucky splashing about with plenty of whipping cream, pounds of butter and rib roasts to conserving our precious food supply, making it stretch,” it read. “Women have been whirled into dizzy readjustments and are showing dauntless spirit and resolve to turn out delectable food with whatever materials may be available.” These were times of battle and belttightening. Fancy dishes like Entrecote a la Bourguignon were likely replaced by
Page 28
recipes simply titled, wartime stew and victory pie. Meatball pancakes (or hamburger pancakes) was one of those simple and dollar-stretching dishes that should have never left our recipe box. I’ve received several emails over time from readers sharing their recipe for these unique and savory pancakes. They’re a favorite for busy moms as they come together quickly, and perfect for kids who will gobble them up in an instant! They can be a main meal served with tomato sauce or as a finger food appetizer with catsup! Here’s a recipe and story from Marty Grotlisch: “It was World War II and I was just out of college,” Marty said. “I was on a radio show in Kansas City called The Happy Kitchen. As that was some 64
years ago, memories dim, but such fun it was! We always included at least one recipe. When my ‘true love returned from the Battle of the Bulge, we married and I left with a suitcase full of recipes.” Well, Marty, I’m glad this one went packing with you. After making your wartime meatball pancakes, it was a battle to the finish in our family for the last one on the plate!
received from Pat in Tucson: “I was a young bride on a very low budget and always looking for recipes that would stretch my dollar. The hamburger pancakes made my dollar go further and were delicious hot or cold. We served these in our restaurant as a special once a week and they would sell out every time.”

Ling and Louie: Happily, ever after in comfort and adventure diy
photo page
Once upon a time, all-American cook Louie fell for beautiful Asian chef Ling and they opened a restaurant. Louie loved American comfort food. Ling was a connoisseur of Asia’s panoply of adventurous flavors and textures, from Thailand and China to Korea and Japan. What kind of menu could such a couple possible agree upon? Hmmm. How about meatloaf under a gravy that suggests Szechuan with a side of wasabi mashed potatoes ($11.50)? Or maybe good old southwestern tacos stuffed with sashimi-grade ahi and an Asianinflected salsa? To be clear, Ling & Louie’s Asian Bar and Grill really is more Asian than American in its flavors and presentation. An entire section of the comm. spotlight

menu is devoted to an array of wok dishes for which you choose chicken, beef, scallops or shrimp, cooked with myriad possible sauces, including Kung Pao, peanut-red curry, honeywalnut, cashew and a fiery red chili. But the feeling is laid-back American, and there are persistent attempts to make American forays into the Asian dominance. The Mongolian flatbread ($11.25) may remind you a bit of a Mongolian barbecue, but since when did the Mongolians invent cheese? Oh, and Ling and Louie aren’t real. Sorry. “That was a story made up to give a background to the restaurant’s concept,” explained John Banquil, director of brand development for the restaurant and former manager of Ling & Louie’s Scottsdale location. meet your neighbor

The Last Samurai a truly unique drink. Banquil described Japanese whiskies as “smoky and complex like Scotch, but subtler and without the peatiness. You get more of the dried fruit qualities.” As for the whiskey-tinged foods, a diner might try the Bourbon-glazed pork sliders with honey-wasabi mustard, or Wokin’ Whiskey, a choice of crispy chicken, shrimp or scallops in a whiskey-garlic sauce (prices not available). The next promotion is planned for November, when the menu will swing more toward American food. We’re talking burgers, tuna melts and pretzels, but with unexpected bursts of Asian flavor. But the restaurant’s big break must surely be in the future. “Right now, we are a hidden gem,” Banquil said.

Exactly what is that concept? “Modern Asian meets American comfort.” The Ling & Louie’s in Scottsdale is the corporate flagship, but you’ll also find the restaurant in Chandler at Wild Horse Pass. Ling and Louie are ready to break out. “Our motto is, ‘Not for boring people,’” Banquil said. And that means constantly rethinking the menu. “We come up with promotions to keep it fresh for our guests.” In September, keeping it fresh means whiskey—shots, cocktails and even whisky-inspired special-menu dishes. What’s the occasion? “September is National Bourbon Month, and we’ve celebrated that for the last four years. We decided to expand it this year to include all kinds of whiskey, including Scotch and the new Japanese whiskeys.” Japanese whiskeys? Take two of the special whiskey cocktails featured in September: The Nikka Sour and The Last Samurai. Both feature Japanese whiskeys, with fresh Thai basil and ginger beer making

This knowledge inspired him to offer emergency service to his customers, often within an hour. “When we get a phone call from a customer who is saying, ‘Oh my gosh, my springs broke in my garage door and I need to get out.’ we can usually get there really fast,” he said. “I am sure to staff appropriately so we can get to customers that quickly most of the time.” The company’s motto reflects this same commitment to the customers, Peruch said. “Our tagline is ‘We will be there when you need us,’” he said. Since A-Authentic Garage Door Service Co. opened in 1999, Peruch said they have strived to offer topnotch garage door service and replacement services. “We repair or replace garage doors and openers. We can work with anybody who has a garage door, including light commercial customers,” Peruch said. Although Peruch said there are not a lot of changes that take place in the garage door industry, he said they do stay abreast of the latest technology and products.

For example, the Wi-Fi garage door openers are catching the eye and interest of customers, he said. “They are MyQ compatible, and you can open and close your garage door with your iPhone,” he said. Wi-Fi openers are ideal for people who routinely get to work and ask themselves “Did I close my garage door?” “You can check from your phone if it is closed. This way, if it was left open it won’t be open all day, and people won’t come back home and find that everything in the garage is gone,” he said. Peruch said he is proud of his company’s many repeat customers and numerous referrals. Peruch also likes knowing that he and his staff are helping people, some of whom are dealing with an emergency situation. “Our customers have a problem and they are stuck in their garages and can’t get out, so we get there and help them. Our customers are happy, we are happy, and then we move onto the next person,” Peruch said. “Knowing that we are helping people is a very rewarding experience.” A-Authentic Garage Door Service Co. is located at 22051 N. 23rd Ave., Phoenix.

Michelle Arena, co-owner of Smallcakes, 9699 N. Hayden Rd., Scottsdale, with her speciality cupcakes.
Smallcakes fulfills Scottsdale residents’ sweet tooth By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Growing up in upstate New York, Michelle Arena was spoiled with many bakeries and sweets shops. However, when she and her husband moved to Arizona, they found the Valley lacked that luxury. So Arena left corporate America and opened a franchise of Smallcakes Cupcakery and Creamery last October. The McCormick Ranch resident is preparing to celebrate her store’s first anniversary with a “big party.” She said she’s anticipating specials like four cupcakes for $10, cake giveaways and radio station giveaways. Smallcakes, which carries the slogan of “Maybe a cupcake will help?,” regularly sells cupcakes for $3.75 each; six for $20; or a dozen for $39. The chain was started by Jeff Martin in Overland Park, Kansas. The franchises, including Arena’s store, bake and frost 18 signature flavors every morning from scratch. Extra product is donated to Waste Not, a nonprofit, food rescue organization that delivers perishable food. “We, as franchise owners, run them on our own,” added Arena, whose store is the only one in the Valley. “Jeff isn’t really involved. We design our own stores. There’s a set menu of signature
flavors, but we’re able to pick our specials on our own. We play with the flavors and specials we decide to offer.” Of the 18 flavors, Arena said the hot fudge sundae is a hot commodity for chocolate lovers, while vanilla fans enjoy birthday cake. The store was designed by Michelle Rene, a local artist and a friend of Arena. She hand painted the logos and murals on the walls. That’s not the only local tie. Coffee for the store is provided by Espressions Roastery, a Phoenix company owned by a McCormick Ranch resident. It’s not all about cupcakes. Smallcakes also bakes big cakes, including round, sheet, half sheet and cupcake cakes. Six-inch cakes start at $35. Arena, who has seven employees, called herself a “people person” who enjoys getting to know her customers. “I know a lot of customers by name,” she said. “We’ll chat and it’s nice.”

i2iOptique: Where every customer is treated like family Every day, optician Sabina Krasnov, owner of i2iOptique in Scottsdale, treats every customer as she would her mother. Krasnov, who has worked in the optical industry for 26-plus years, relocated to Scottsdale four years ago and opened i2iOptique two years ago. It is a mid- to high-end optical shop that features a wide variety of glasses, sunglasses and contacts. Recently, i2iOptique moved to a new location in Scottsdale. “I really care about what and how people look and see,” Krasnov said. “I’m especially proud of the personalized service that I offer my clients and I want them to know that they can always rely on me.
“One of the biggest complaints that I hear from people is that at the chains, they see different people each time. But here, I’m the face that they will always see.” Also, because i2iOptique is a specialty store, Krasnov said she can get her patients everything that they need for their eyes. “The quality of lenses is not the same everywhere. Oftentimes, people go to chains and think that the price is less but the quality is the same and this is not true,” she said. “Our glasses are made with love and perfection. For example, our coatings do not peel or scratch easily.” For Krasnov—a self-described “eyeglass fashionista”—working with
her customers from the time they place their order to when they come back to pick up their glasses is part of her commitment to outstanding customer service. The combination of customer service and quality products, Krasnov said, are what makes i2iOptique different. “For me, it’s not just about the money. I really roll out the white glove service to every one of my customers.” Getting to know her customers is a highlight of her work, Krasnov said, as is spending time every Tuesday at assisted living facilities helping the residents with their glasses. Krasnov especially loves the way having the correct eyeglasses can make people not only look terrific, but feel good about themselves. “Everyone who wears glasses needs to see well and look great,” she said. “Every day we change people’s lives by changing the way they see and look and that’s our promise. Glasses are a part of you and we need to love them.”
As the optician and owner of i2iOptique in Scottsdale, Sabina Krasnov said she truly enjoys giving her clients the “white glove treatment” and working closely with them.
i2iOptique is located at 8320 N. Hayden Rd., Suite E 103 in Scottsdale. For more information, call 480-767-3450 or visit i2ioptique.com
