L\u2019Azur Med Spa <\/em>
\nWorld-Class Treatments, Products and Services At Beaux Visages, Latham Farms
\n783.1988; www.beauxvisagesnewyork.com
\n<\/strong>
\nOwners:<\/strong> Cheryl Anne MBA & Alan R. Jones
\nHow long have you been in business?<\/strong> Five years. This is our second Med Spa. Our first opened three years ago and is the market leader in Rockland County, just outside of Manhattan.
\nDescribe your business:<\/strong> Our dedicated and qualified staff of advanced medical, aesthetic and wellness professionals deliver of-the-moment high technology and time-treasured treatments and products to achieve ultimate personal enhancement, rejuvenation and graceful aging \u2014 offered in a warm, inviting Mediterranean environment. We work hard at retaining the old-fashioned values our parents instilled in us. The reality is we live in a high-tech, post-modern society leaving many of us feeling stressed, alienated and deprived of the basic need for caring human touch.
\nWhat sets you apart from competitors?<\/strong> L\u2019Azur Med Spa focuses on the sp-a-a-a-h-h in Med Spa and the laser, medical treatments follow. All of our treatments are non-ablative so our clients won\u2019t have to concern themselves with downtime or discomfort. Still, it\u2019s a new experience and we give our clients the T.L.C they deserve. We are looking to forge long-term relationships as we satisfy the needs of body and soul. Physical transformations can be spectacular, but what pleases us most is that we deliver them with a warm, human touch in an atmosphere scented with lavender as you sip soothing green tea while lying on a comfy, cushioned bed surrounded by lovely Mediterranean art.
\nWhat advice would you give to others wanting to pursue a similar career? <\/strong>Do your homework and gain a clear understanding of this unique hybrid industry. Though a retail concept is necessary to survive it is, after all, medical above all else.
\nWhere do you see your business in the next five years? <\/strong>We have a winning formula, which we intend to share with physicians seeking additional revenue opportunities. Insurance cutbacks have been financially devastating; still it takes a whole lot more than buying an expensive laser and offering Botox to succeed as a medical spa.

\nWhat advice would you give to others wanting to pursue a similar career?<\/strong> Be ready to work hard.

We have a fabulous team of dedicated people who work for us and we couldn\u2019t be where we are today without them.
\nWhere do you see your business in the next five years?<\/strong> Designing and installing much more than just closets. There are so many areas of the home that can benefit from custom storage systems. The trend in new housing is for homes to be built with larger closets and other storage areas. New materials are also becoming available that will give people even more choices for their home storage. I see us doing more garages, media centers and other non-traditional storage systems for our current and new customers.

Stockade Oriental Rug Imports<\/em>
\n543 Broadway (the old Fire House), Saratoga Springs
\n583.2044
\n<\/strong>
\nOwner: <\/strong>Deborah K. Barthold
\nHow long have you been in business? <\/strong>I established Stockade Imports 25 years ago in the old Stockade section of Schenectady. I learned the trade from my father, Joseph Reinhardt, former President of Jacobsen\u2019s Oriental Rugs in Syracuse. I have traveled to India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey and China to establish direct links to weavers and suppliers.
\nDescribe your business:<\/strong> We sell a wide variety of high quality, hand-made, individually selected oriental carpets; often supported by in-home decorating expertise and trial installations. Stockade Imports is also an excellent source for oriental carpet cleaning, repairs and appraisals.
\nWhat sets you apart from competitors?<\/strong> Stockade is dedicated exclusively to providing the highest quality hand-made 100 percent wool Oriental rugs at fair price and assuring that each piece complements the d\u00e9cor in which it is placed. We have a large current inventory and ready access to wholesale markets both within the US and abroad. Delivery, installation and decorating counsel are free. Customers are encouraged to take rugs home on an approval basis.
\nWhat advice would you give others wanting to pursue a similar career? <\/strong>Start early in life studying the history and styles of Oriental rugs since each design is linked to a geographic region. Learn the history of weaving and step-by-step rug construction and an ability to judge the quality of work since two rugs, which may look alike, may vary greatly in value. Learn the differences in appearance and durability of both wools from various parts of the world and different dyes. Then establish a network of wholesale sources, including weavers themselves.
\nWhere do you see your business in the next five years?<\/strong> Our reputation for quality, for working hard to match each rug to its surrounding d\u00e9cor and for fair pricing will assure a continuation in the growth we\u2019ve enjoyed in the Capital Region. Our business growth has catapulted along with the new home construction in Saratoga Springs. Continued growth will be spurred by interest in condominiums where interior d\u00e9cor is especially important.
\nHours:<\/strong> Monday-Saturday 10am\u20135pm. Other hours by appointment.<\/p>\n

Teakwood Builders Incorporated<\/em>
\n563 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs
\n587.2880; www.teakwoodbuilders.com
\n<\/strong>
\nOwner:<\/strong> James Sasko
\nHow long have you been in business? <\/strong>Since 1995.
\nDescribe your business: <\/strong>We are a design\/build contractor specializing in luxury building, remodeling and historic restoration for residential and commercial projects. We take responsibility for every aspect of a project from its initial design to the appropriate furnishings to compliment the space. Our design team consists of cooperative relationships with the Capital Region\u2019s finest architects, engineers and interior designers. Inside, we do everything from single-room remodeling to home theaters to basement makeovers to whole house renovations. Outside, we build pool cabanas, sunroom additions and porches. Our new homes can be built on your property or ours and there is no limit to design or style.
\nWhat sets you apart from competitors?<\/strong> Our relationships with our clients are critical to our success \u2013 there are no \u201ccontractor horror stories\u201d to tell. We strive to exceed their expectations. Our craftsmen and sub-contractors are chosen not only for their superior skills, but it is also equally important that they meet our superior standards of honesty, cleanliness and courtesy while working within our clients\u2019 homes.
\nWhat advice would you give to others wanting to pursue a similar career?<\/strong> It is not an easy career. Long hours of hard work and unceasing commitment are required in order to succeed. For those who take pride in seeing an old home rejuvenated and new structures come into being, it is very rewarding. Unlike many other endeavors, the results of one\u2019s work and the positive effect it has on a client are readily apparent.
\nWhere do you see your business in the next five years? <\/strong>Building and remodeling is highly competitive so making predictions is a dubious venture. Nevertheless, there will always be a need in the Capital Region for the quality of services we provide. Moreover, our increasingly large base of satisfied clients is a reliable source for additional business and referrals to new clients. So it is likely that in five years we will have continued to grow in a controlled manner in terms of the scope of our work, further refinements of our customer service and our staffing.<\/p>\n
