Keeping Up With King St. from the Charleston Mercury

by Susan Lucas

From The Charleston Mercury

Since Time Magazine and Travel + Leisure proclaimed Charleston as the City with the most beautiful people in the U.S., I’ve been wondering what makes us so attractive. One possibility is our access to King Street, where beautiful people can be seen embellishing what nature bestowed, not to mention making a lot of wonderful wardrobe choices from chapeau to stiletto.

In local boutiques we have some of the best and most hospitable professionals to advise and direct us, buyers constantly watching the market for change, and international connections to the latest and most beautiful of everything.

 Cos Bar, Blue Mercury and Stella Nova each offer a different perspective and product line and if you’re a beauty junkie, you’ve checked them all out. People head for Cos Bar for many reasons, not the least of which is that rare and valuable downtown commodity, free parking. Pop in, pick up what will keep your face on the Most Beautiful List and leave with something that will make you feel even better--more time. But they also have a friendly staff with great advice, your personal history and buying preferences at hand and real time demos. Cos Bar recently added a neat little Spa in the back where you can find all sorts of luxurious services.

Calling All Stylists! Salon Couture on King Street is Looking for a New Team Member

Stimulating New Hair Products from DS Laboratories

New at Salon Couture are these fabulous new haircare products for thinning hair. Revita High Performance Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo is the most efficient and powerful hair growth stimulating shampoo on the market. Revita is a potent and unique combination of ingredients that maintains scalp vitality as well as stimulating hair growth and is chemical free. 

Revita.COR Stimulating Hair Growth Conditioner is the perfect compliment to Revita Shampoo by DS Laboratories. Building on the legendary success of Revita® shampoo, Revita.COR® establishes not only a new benchmark for comprehensive ingredient synthesis but also a new technology to keep ingredients working long after hair has been rinsed - for at least 12 hours. The ingredients in Revita.COR® are encapsulated in cationically charged solid spheres that are both hydrophobic and bio-adhesive. This technology means that spheres will stick to the scalp and retain their ingredients for a maximum hair regrowth effect, even during sweating or swimming.

Artist Patricia Pépin to be at Whispers on Wentworth for the SEWE King Street Stroll

Canadian wildlife artist Patricia Pépin will appear at Whispers on Wentworth as part of the SEWE King Street Stroll Friday, Feb. 12 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Historic Downtown Charleston roars to life with Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE), the nation’s largest wildlife art and nature event.

Pépin paints with oil colours and is interested in the traditions and techniques of her medium. While studying the works of old masters, she was attracted by the art of Vermeer and Vélasquez, struck by their mastery of light and colours. 

Their influence is well represented in Patricia's paintings, in which the realism born out of these notions can be clearly seen. Add to this the love of nature, which Patricia Pépin paints and draws with a scrupulous fidelity, and you get a symbiosis of technique and knowledge that gives the paintings of Pépin very high credibility.

Whispers on Wentworth is located at 71 Wentworth Street, Suite 101, in the King Street Fashion District in historic downtown Charleston. Call 843-577-6516 for an appointment or visit them online at WhispersOnWentworth.com
