By DEBBIE CREEMERS We'd originally wanted a complete makeover — your basic facial, a hairstyle, with maybe even a touch of make-up! But time ran out on us. Kositchek's Clothier Man's World Barber Shop, 113 N. Washington Sq., Lansing, was the lab, State News staffer Mike Megerian the ready and willing — if a bit leery — guinea pig. We arrived about 15 minutes late, camera equipment in tow. Sherry Kibett, who's worked at Kositchek's for seven years, led us to the back of the salon where she fielded quesions while applying a non-allergenic PH balanced cream to Mike's face. "There are seven layers of skin," she began, smearing the cream around, "and I can usually reach the sixth layer during manipulation." How long do the facials take? "Forty to 45 minutes." Could you cut corners on this one? — (Our photographer had a class to catch). As the camera clicked, Kibett mentioned the last step in a good facial is a slap — to wake the customer up. "The facial is so relaxing," she said, "that most of my customers do fall asleep." "Even with four cups of coffee?" Mike asked. State News Scott Randle "Well, my customers usually keep quiet," Kibbett State News reporter Michael Megerian succumbs to the clutches of a local beauti¬ replied, massaging cream into his chin. Hint taken, Mike retired behind cian, who applies the first step of a facial. The treatment, at a cost of only $8.50, three sets of steaming hot towels.

But they were hot enough to take any blackheads he'd had away with them. An herbal clay pack was applied next and, as it hardend, firming the skin, Kibett talked about facial history. "I only do about 10 a month," she said, "but facials sprung up Men sport status clothes with the first barber shops.

Bookstore Student International Center Bookstore Q Michigan State News, Eost Lansing, Michigan Area spas By JOANNELANE have varied programs State News Staff Writer Physical fitness plays a big role in today's fashion world and the Lansing area offers a number of different ways to get — and keep — in shape. The type of fitness program the individual chooses will depend on where his or her interests lie — whether in serious bodybuilding or informal recreational fitness programs. Serious bodybuilders are defined as athletes who are interested in sports conditioning to help gain body strength without hurting themselves. Rick Wiggins, manager of the International Athletic Club, 2283 W. Grand River Ave ., Okemos, said his club has Olympic-type lifting equipment for the serious bodybuilder. "Our club puts money into the equipment and not other facilities that cost the customer extra money," Wiggins said. He said the club will individually instruct each client and help them formulate a nutrition plan. The club provides locker rooms with showers and a sauna. The club offers different programs which correspond to the time limit necessary for individual goals, Wiggins said. The customer may join a one, three or six-month program, depending upon his or her physical condition. The club also has a separate karate program available to teach individuals interested in serious — and sometimes brutal — self-defense methods. Karate instructors, Wiggins said, are highly accredited and the club supplies protectors so the customers won't incur bodily harm. The average student rate is $30 a month, Wiggins said. A package program is available for those who wish to utilize both the karate and the bodybuilding programs. The club is open weekdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. It also has facilities available to help handicappers strengthen their bodies. The Slenderform-Universal Health Spa in the Frandor Shopping Job interview clothing: Center also offer serious bodybuilding programs for both men and women. The spa, which has operated in the shopping center for 21 years, 'conservative is safest' designates separate days of the week for men's and women's programs.
