The Mentor Planning Commission convened on July 3, 2025, to discuss several proposals that could enhance community wellness and personal care services in the city. Among the key items on the agenda were two conditional use permits aimed at expanding local business offerings.

The first proposal, presented by Karen Hadden, sought approval for a wellness coaching and educational workshop space at 9010 Tyler Boulevard. Hadden emphasized her intention to provide one-on-one coaching and small group sessions, aligning her services with existing wellness options in the area, such as the Himalayan Cave. The commission members expressed support for the initiative, noting its potential to contribute positively to community health. The proposal was approved with four conditions, reflecting a collaborative effort to ensure the business aligns with local regulations.

The second item involved a conditional use permit for a personal care service focused on permanent makeup, presented by Jay Hazel Crabshaw at 7326 Industrial Park Boulevard. Crabshaw, who has experience working with cancer and alopecia patients, highlighted the emotional benefits of her services. The health district had already inspected the proposal and raised no objections, further supporting the initiative. The commission unanimously approved this proposal with two conditions, recognizing its potential to boost confidence and well-being among residents.

These approvals mark a significant step towards enhancing the range of wellness and personal care services available in Mentor, reflecting the city’s commitment to supporting local businesses that cater to the community's needs. As these new services take shape, residents can look forward to increased access to wellness resources and personal care options that promote health and confidence.
