...nightclubs say they aren't worried," Lyons said, "but a lot of people are fooling themselves and are in for a rude awakening." He said many nightclub owners think they cater to crowds over age 21, but are actually drawing older men who come to look at younger women. "And when the younger women aren't there, the business will be gone," he added...

Prices vary, but the average cost for a one-hour facial is $30. In Los Angeles, where looking good is an obsession, Aida Grey's baby-bottom-pink salon pampers 300 customers daily.
