If it seems as though the women of AlamoHeights are aging backwards, Nancy Hill may beto blame. Hill, a nurse practitioner, is the owner ofAesthetic Options Medical Spa, a boutique andmedical-grade skin care facility located in theBoardwalk on Broadway shopping center. It is aplace where women from all over the city (but pri-marily Alamo Heights) come to slow down thehands of time without undergoing invasive skin-care treatments.

“My clients tell me that people ask them whotheir surgeon is,” laughs Hill. “I love hearing that!”

MEDICAL-GRADE SKIN CARE

Hill says she has always had the desire to ownher own business. The opportunity presented it-self when she and her husband moved to San An-tonio from Seadrift, TX, in 1993 in order to assistin the care of her Alamo Heights in-laws. A long-time sufferer of rosacea, Hill had seen many der-matologists over the years, but none couldprovide her with satisfactory results, so this de-termined businesswoman decided to take matters

into her own hands.“I became intrigued with healing myself and

realized that it could be done through the use of theIPL laser and the appropriate medical-grade skincare,” she says.

Aesthetic Options Medical Spa opened in 2005in the Village on the Green shopping center. Hillchose the Alamo Heights location based on the factthat she needed to be in close proximity to her in-laws. It soon became clear that she was in the rightneighborhood for the services she was offering.

Hill passed her vast knowledge, research andtraining along to her growing clientele, andbusiness boomed.

Before she knew it, Hill was expanding her500-square-foot space to 1,300 square feet, offer-ing customers her popular three-part laser skin re-juvenation treatment that includes evening out thecomplexion, tightening the skin and reducing wrin-kles, all in one treatment and with no downtime.

Her services became so much in demand thatlast year Hill realized it was time to find a larger

space and expand her services. While convenience was what ledher to choose the Alamo Heights neighborhood to start her business,her customers are what led her to stay in the ’hood when it came timeto relocate to her current location.

“Alamo Heights folks are loyal, and they like to support localbusinesses,” she says, adding that they are also a discerning group.“These women recognize value and understand that you get whatyou pay for.”

And they do pay. The three-part laser skin rejuvenation runs$500 to $750 per treatment every three weeks, while the super pop-ular intraceuticals oxygen facial (the same one used by celebritiesprior to awards shows) will set you back $200. But as Hill pointsout, medical-grade facials are not an area in which you want toskimp. A laser in the wrong hands can cause irreparable damage.

“I see clients who come in after using one of the popular ‘discountclub’ offers for a laser service without researching the facility or thepractitioners,” she says. “You really have to be careful.”

BOUTIQUE-STYLE BEAUTY

Not all of the services Hill offers are medical-grade, or comewith a medical-grade price tag. Aesthetician Elena Fletcher pro-vides more traditional spa services, which include eyebrow wax-ing and tinting, airbrush tanning and classic facials. Fletcher isalso a professional makeup artist who studied at the famousMake-up Designory (MUD) in New York and can work magicwith a makeup brush.

While Hill admits that it would be more lucrative to allowFletcher to perform the laser and medical-grade treatments too, forher, it isn’t about the bottom line. “I want what is right for theclient,” she explains. “What sets me apart is that I am a nurse prac-titioner with eight years of experience, and I am the one performingthe medical treatments.”

In addition to offering a wide menu of services, Hill has ex-panded Aesthetic Options to include a boutique where she carriesDoTerra Essential Oils, Colorescience Mineral Makeup, an assort-ment of gift items and UPF 50, a line of clothing and hats that blockboth UVA and UVB rays stylishly. “The incidence of skin canceris increasing,” says Hill. “We wanted to offer something cute thatwomen of all ages will actually wear and use.”

BRINGING IT HOME

While Hill’s services successfully allow women to thumb theirporeless noses at Father Time, no service is going to be as effectivewithout a good at-home regimen. Hill offers several lines of med-ical-grade skin care products for clients to continue to pamper theirskin between appointments and ensure longer-lasting results. In-traceuticals, iS Clinical by Innovative Skincare and Biopelle arejust a few of the lines that fly off the shelves.

“Medical-grade products treat the skin at the cellular level,” Hillexplains. “You can completely change a person’s skin with the ap-propriate skin care.”

With her porcelain, wrinkle-free skin, Hill is a testament to hertrade. It is no wonder that she boasts such a loyal following. “Theideal customer is one who understands the value of coming tosomeone who understands the skin and how to get it to look theway you want it to,” she says. “My Alamo Heights clients get it.”

Before she knew it, Hill was expanding her 500-square-foot space to 1,300 square feet. She offers medical-grade aesthetic procedures plus

traditional spa services like waxing and facials.

SHE HAS A TALENT FOR DESIGN AND BUSINESS ACUMEN TOO

Like the beautiful pieces of jewelry she designs, CarrollDorsey Walker is the total package. Creative, artistic and withbusiness sense to boot, Carroll is the founder and designer ofBejewel by Carroll Dorsey Walker, a jewelry and accessoryline created right here in the heart of Alamo Heights.

Married to Robert since 1996, she and her husband andtheir son, Dorsey, are longtime Heights residents. Born andraised in Alamo Heights, Robert is the owner and operator ofRufus A. Walker & Co., a construction supply company, andDorsey is a student at Alamo Heights High School.

For the Walker family, there’s no place they would rathercall home than Alamo Heights. “We love living in AlamoHeights,” Carroll says. “I love the trees, the friendly peopleand the old neighborhoods. Our house is 113 years old, and itreally lends itself to creativity.” And for Carroll, exploring therealms of her creativity is what life is all about.

Carroll’s dream began in 1997 when she took her first jew-elry making class. “I have always loved beautiful things, and Ihad a lot of artistic visions that I wanted to explore,” she re-calls. “I created my first piece of jewelry in the spare bedroomof my home, and it was an amazing experience. From there, Iwent nuts! I could hardly sleep. I would get up in the middleof the night and sketch or work until 5 in the morning. Afterthat, everything just sort of snowballed.”

Her rise to the top of the jewelry design chain, however,was no accident. With a degree in marketing managementfrom Southwest Texas State University, Carroll used her busi-

and the old neighborhoods.Our house is 113years old, and itreally lends itselfto creativity.”

ness acumen to launch Bejewel by Carroll DorseyWalker into the finest local shops in San Antonio and be-yond. Julian Gold was one of the first boutiques to carryBejewel, and it quickly became one of their highest-sell-ing jewelry lines. From there, Carroll opened showroomsin Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York and At-lanta. By 2007, she was servicing over 400 boutiques na-tionwide as well as several overseas accounts. Herbeautiful creations have been featured in InStyle,Reader’s Digest and Marie Claire magazines and wornby celebrities on the red carpet as well as by many tele-vision personalities.

In 2008, following the nationwide economic down-turn and with her son entering junior high, Carrollscaled her business back, closing the majority of herEast Coast accounts to concentrate on her showroomsin New York and Dallas and to be more available to herson. “With over 16 years in the industry, I’ve experi-enced many types of economic cycles, good and bad,and you really have to go with the flow,” she says.Today, Bejewel by Carroll Dorsey Walker can be foundlocally at Julian Gold, Adelante Boutique at the Pearland by private appointment at her home studio. “Re-gionally, my jewelry can be found in 50 to 100 bou-tiques across the country,” she says. “But with theeconomy recovering and Dorsey driving, I’m ready tocycle back up to where I was in 2007.”

14 | april 2014

For Carroll, it’s all about the craft and making her customers happy.“I have always loved working with natural gemstones and the processof creating beautiful statement pieces,” she says. “I love beautiful‘earth-made’ pieces that can easily fit into most budgets. A womanshouldn’t have to be wealthy to have choices about style and beauty.”Recently, she has expanded her line to include embellished eveninghandbags, and she has a loyal following for her soy-scented candlesand custom bath products.

The success of Carroll’s business has allowed her to be a strongphilanthropist and leader within the Alamo Heights community, a dutyshe accepts with aplomb. She donates generously to numerous localcharity events, including the Witte Game Dinner, Alamo HeightsSchool Foundation, Mission Roads Ministries and Le Brunch des Cha-peaux benefiting autism, where this spring she will provide the TopTopper Award. Along with serving on a number of local boards, Carrollcurrently serves as chairman of the Alamo chapter of the Young Men’sService League, a mother/son volunteer organization. “Dorsey and Ido a lot of volunteer work together for charities, including the WoundedWarrior Project, the San Antonio Food Bank and Haven for Hope, toname a few,” she explains.

Recently nominated for a 2014 Entrepreneurial Spirit Award pre-sented by the National Association of Women Business Owners, Car-roll received the Innovator Award. Her sponsor, Darrell Hamlin,founder and owner of Civic Monkey, describes her in this way: “Car-roll has the artistic talent to design and construct products of extraor-dinary beauty, the operating skills to manage the enterprise, and thevisionary gifts to see where market trends and customer satisfactionsmerge on the commercial horizon.”

With her creative juices flowing, and business on the upswing, Car-roll is ready for the next challenge. “Currently, I’m making anywherefrom 2,000 to 3,000 pieces per year, but I’m really looking to expandand grow the business,” she states. “I’m thinking of opening anotherboutique close by. I’ve got my eye out for the perfect spot.” With Car-roll’s eye for beauty, there’s no doubt she’ll find it … right here inAlamo Heights!

A Terrell Hills native, Anne Ballantyne has lived in five different homesin the enclave that has nurtured her from birth to raising a family of her ownwith husband Steve Ballantyne.

“We feel rooted,” says Anne. “Terrell Hills is where my family has livedfor some 65 years, and it is where our first grandchild will be born.”

As a member of the Terrell Hills City Council for 12 years, havingserved on both the city’s Board of Adjustments and the Planning and Zoningcommittee, Anne knows her city well. She is also part of the bigger commu-nity, serving this year as president of the Battle of Flowers Association. Pa-

rades and politics bode well for a family that cherishes the traditions thatbond a community.

Home is where the Ballantynes nurture traditions both large and small.One family formality carefully observed by their three children -- Patrick,Katy and Brian — was the No No Room. When they were small children,the formal living room, where family heirlooms are beautifully displayed,was given that moniker. It is still called that by family and friends today.

A collection of blue milk glass adorns shelves in the living room, part ofa larger collection belonging to Anne’s grandmother. A baby grand piano an-

chors a corner of the room with a cut-crystal chandelier hanging over adisplay of family photographs. Both pieces were from Anne’s grand-mother. Family artwork lines the walls, including a painting of Anne’smother over the fireplace mantel.

Displayed on her mother’s Duncan Phyfe dining room table, a collec-tion of Fiesta medals, miniature Battle of Flowers floats and Mexicanfolk art dolls inform guests that Fiesta traditions are celebrated here. It isalso the heart of the home, where the holiday turkey is served from amassive antique silver meat server and dome. “We use it at Christmas,”says Anne. “It is quite a production, filling it with hot water, then puttingthe turkey on for presentation. It gets pretty heavy.”

An antique hunt table that belonged to Anne’s mother holds silverand crystal wedding gifts flanked by a pair of silver champagne buck-ets, also from her mother. “Basically, I recreated my mother’s diningroom,” quips Anne.

University of Texas traditions run deep in the Ballantyne family, andthe den is where Steve’s sense of style dominates. A past president of the

Texas Exes, Steve had a hand in remodeling the den about the time that UTwon the national championship in football.

A comfortable overstuffed leather sofa wraps around the room where alarge flatscreen TV provides optimal viewing of Longhorn sporting events. Agranite-clad bar equipped with built-in kegerator and wine fridge is adornedwith Longhorn insignia.

Cowboy Corner, a display of family photos and University of Texas mem-orabilia, pays tribute to son Brian’s days at UT, where he was a member of theTexas Cowboys, a men’s organization dating back to 1922. Steve was a TexasCowboy during his time at UT, too.

On a Battle of Flowers trip to visit a participating high school organiza-tion, Anne spotted a lamp in a vice principal’s office that was a model of theUniversity of Texas Tower. She exclaimed, “I’ve got to get one for my hus-band.” Steve received a UT Tower lamp that Christmas.

Having met as graduate students at UT Austin, they made sure the denpays homage to their alma mater. And it is the domain of yet another traditionand a pair of worthy causes. Susie and Jack, rescued Irish setters, are well-loved members of the family. “I have lived with Irish setters all of my life. Ican’t imagine life without one,” says Anne.

Traditions are not formal or stuffy for this Terrell Hills family — they arejust a way to live life to its fullest in a place they proudly call home.

The space that houses Tre Trattoria on Broadway couldeasily serve as a kind of chronicle of San Antonio culinaryhistory, so many and varied have been its occupants over theyears. (Who remembers Arthur’s, then Mary Martin’sArthur’s, for example?) But if present success is any indi-cation, historians may have to wait awhile for the next in-stallment—unless chef/owner Jason Dady decides toinvestigate a new cuisine, that is.

Meanwhile, take comfort in the golden beets madesweet by roasting, the challengingly chewy Tuscan farosalad, the made-in-house mozzarella in any of its creamymanifestations. House-cured meats such as the lean and lustypastrami are outstanding; just a few slices will do nicely.

And don’t shy away from pizza just because this is nota place featuring an Old World oven; Dady overcomes anypresumed limitations with the “cast iron” griddled pizzas.They flaunt a crust so crisp it almost crackles and, in the caseof the version with tomato, soppresetta and spicy pepper-oncini, spunky flavors that are all the more appealing forbeing simple and straightforward. (For a fancier take, try therendition with smoked mozzarella di bufala, corn, pancettaand basil.) With your pizza, also take advantage of well-priced Italian wines by the quartino (a “glass and a half”);neither the Soave nor the Valpolicella is to be ignored.

It has been a while since we’ve had Tre’s linguini and

clams; in the past it was always a wake-up call reminding usthat less is more. A recent serving of fettuccini with duckconfit, corn and breadcrumbs featured good flavors but aless-convincing texture. We are always suckers for the pap-pardelle Bolognese — another instance of knowing justwhere to stop with a classic sauce. Could be that the cauli-flower ravioli with Meyer lemon, green onion, golden raisinsand bottarga (the salty dried roe of a mullet) is a bridge toofar, but it’s on the bucket list for future investigation.

Returning to things simple and satisfying, there’s noth-ing more comforting, when prepared with care, than a roastedchicken — free-range, in the case of Tre, and so moist andtender that it needs nothing more than a side of caramelizedBrussels sprouts or some creamy parmigiano polenta to takeadvantage of any errant juices. Polenta is served with a friedegg to accompany braised pork shoulder in Monday’s fam-ily-style special. Wagyu meatballs occupy the spotlight onFriday.

We do wish that chefs would get over Nutella — or atleast retire it for a while. But if you have a hankering forhazelnut, Dady’s three-way Nutella is the one to have. Wewould more likely opt for a ricotta cake with mascarpone anda glass of vin santo to end an evening spent trying to remem-ber the names of all those previous restaurants whose ghostsmust surely survive in the walls around us.
