Owned and operated by Mary O’Donal at 123 Varney Mill Road in Windham, M’Raj Nails is devoted to cleanliness and providing its clients with a relaxing experience each time they visit. The salon's serene ambiance invites guests to unwind and indulge in a pampering experience like no other. Step inside and discover a world of creativity and skill where your nails are transformed into works of art.

“I am passionate about providing high-quality nail care services to my clients,” O’Donal said. “I am also a small business and strive to create a welcoming atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy some well-deserved pampering. My salon has a professional and relaxing atmosphere and I am always excited to meet with my clients.”

M’Raj Nails offers manicures, pedicures, dips, paraffin wax, hot stones, sculpting with acrylics and gels, all at an affordable cost.

Basic nail care includes cleaning and maintaining nail cuticles, shaping nails, and any necessary care for the skin and nail bed. Nails can be polished with an array of colors and different polish types. Nail tips can then be sculpted on the nail. A paraffin dip is a soothing treatment in which feet are submerged in a warm mixture of paraffin, with petroleum-based wax and mineral oil and is intended to moisturize and soften the feet.

“I do basic manis, pedis, acrylic, dip, hard gel, paraffin, hot stones, and use vegan and cruelty-free products,” O’Donal said. “I work from my salon primarily, but sometimes my clients are unable to come to me, so in some cases, I do go to my client. I do charge a fee, depending on the distance, and I also need to meet my client before going to their home.”

Nail art offered at M’Raj Nails is all about specialization, precision, and design, she said.

“I truly enjoy doing nail art,” O’Donal said. “I use only the best products and techniques to ensure that you leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated,” O’Donal said.

According to O”Donal, her clients enjoy her friendly and one-on-one attention, where they can converse freely and are comfortable and able to relax in her salon.

“My pricing is very competitive if not lower than most of my competitors,” she said. “I run this business by myself, and I’m always working to improve on my skills, learning new skills and techniques, and striving to make every client feel seen, heard, and happy. I do try to create a calm, relaxing environment that allows for easy conversation. I strive to be detailed, and I listen to my clients’ needs. My clients that I do have usually say they come to me because it is a very calm environment, and I also do give them all the attention.”

She got into the nail business almost by accident.

“I found a nail design idea by accident that I liked and spent a few hours to achieve it myself,” O’Donal said. “When I had figured it out, I was kind of hooked and wanted to learn more techniques.”

From there she studied and completed a Spa Tech course and then opened the M’Raj Nails salon out of her home in 2017.

“I guarantee my gel and acrylics for two weeks,” O’Donal said. “I think my pricing is very fair and reasonable.”

O’Donal said that maintaining the exceptional cleanliness of her salon is a top priority with instrument sterilization and disinfectants used to eliminate harmful bacteria.

Quality work and connecting with her clients is important to O’Donal, who says she wants her clients to leave her salon happy and ready to show off their nails to the world. Communication is paramount to her business and many of her clients are so happy with her work that they refer their friends and family to M’Raj Nails.

She says some people may believe that M’Raj Nail is only for women, but it’s not true.

“I’ve created a relaxing experience here for both men and women,” she said. “It’s an enjoyable time for everyone.”

Business Spotlight: Salt Spa Wellness

As a genuine natural alternative, salt therapy has been around for centuries and used to relieve everything from respiratory and skin conditions to muscle recovery and mental wellness. Opening next week in Windham, Salt Spa Wellness offers a calming, restorative environment where guests can take a break from the demands of everyday life and focus on their well-being.

Salt Spa Wellness will open next week at 585 Roosevelt
Trail in Windham and will offer affordable holistic
services to help people feel better mentally, physically,
and emotionally. COURTESY PHOTO  
Owned and operated by the Mank Family at 585 Roosevelt Trail in Windham, the mission of Salt Spa Wellness is to help people feel better, mentally, physically, and emotionally, through affordable holistic services designed to relax the body, reset the mind, and support many forms of healing.

Specific services provided by Salt Spa Wellness will include:

Float Therapy (in both single and double rooms) – a sensory deprivation experience in skin temperature, magnesium-rich water that promotes deep relaxation, pain relief, improved sleep, and mental clarity.

Salt Therapy (Halotherapy) in both private and group settings – breathing in pure, dry salt air can help clear the respiratory system, reduce inflammation, and support skin health.

Infrared Halosauna – a unique combination of dry salt therapy and infrared heat that helps detoxify the body, reduce stress, relieve pain, and boost circulation with optional red-light therapy and chromotherapy.

Aqua Massage – a fully clothed massage experience using high-pressure water jets that deliver deep muscle relaxation without needing to get wet.

“Regardlesss of the clients goals, our services are designed to meet them where they are and help guide them toward a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.” said Kelly Mank, Salt Spa Wellness owner.

She said that the most significant aspect of Salt Spa Wellness is the intentional environment they’ve created, one that blends holistic wellness with personalized care in a spa-like setting.

“What truly sets us apart is how we bring multiple modalities together under one roof, allowing guests to create their own customized wellness experience, whether they’re coming for one service or combining several into a self-care day,” Mank said. “While other businesses may offer individual services like floating or salt rooms, few offer the full range of modalities we do, including Float Therapy, Halotherapy (Salt Room and Salt Cave), Infrared Halosauna, and Aqua Massage, in a thoughtfully designed space built specifically for rest, recovery, and healing.”

According to Mank, beyond the services themselves, what distinguishes Salt Spa Wellness is its philosophy.

“We focus on education, empowerment, and comfort,” she said. “For many of our guests, it’s their first time trying a salt therapy service, and we take pride in guiding them through the process, so they feel informed, supported, and completely at ease. Our space is clean, modern, and intentionally designed to help people unplug, breathe deeply, and feel better. Ultimately, our goal isn’t just to offer a service, it’s to help people reconnect with themselves, manage stress, support their physical and emotional health, and leave feeling better than when they arrived. That’s the heart of Salt Spa Wellness.”

Mank said that one of the biggest misconceptions about the business is that it’s just a luxury or “pampering” spa experience.

“While our space is beautiful and relaxing, what we offer goes much deeper, our services are grounded in wellness, recovery, and real therapeutic benefit,” she said. “Float therapy, halotherapy, and infrared sessions aren’t just for relaxation; they support mental health, pain relief, respiratory wellness, and more. Once people understand the science, and feel the difference themselves, they realize it’s not a splurge, it’s a form of self-care with lasting impact.”

Salt Spa Wellness Manager Kaila Mank says the business takes great pride in offering high-quality, evidence-based wellness services in a setting that’s peaceful, clean, and deeply restorative.

“Every element from our float tanks and halotherapy rooms to our infrared halosauna and aqua massage systems has been carefully selected to provide therapeutic benefits while ensuring maximum comfort and privacy for our guests,” she said. “We maintain the highest standards for cleanliness, sanitation, and equipment upkeep, and we’re committed to creating a calm, supportive environment where every guest feels welcome and cared for. Our team is passionate about helping people discover what wellness means for them, whether it’s managing stress, reducing pain, or simply finding time to relax. Many of our initial clients have shared that they’ve found relief from anxiety, improved sleep, reduced pain, and even faster recovery from injuries thanks to our services. Our goal is not just to provide a service and experience, it’s to provide healing, restoration, and a lasting sense of well-being.”

Eagle Choice Award voting underway

For the 11th consecutive year, The Windham Eagle newspaper is sponsoring the Eagle Choice Awards, and the popularity of the annual competition remains stronger than ever.

Voting opened on June 29 and continues through Sunday, July 20 at midnight, with winners announced in the August 15, 2025 edition.

Launched in 2015, the Eagle Choice Awards recognizes local businesses in the area through popular vote. This distinction is evidence that residents do take notice when they receive outstanding service and find superior products offered by local merchants.

Melissa Carter, advertising director for The Windham Eagle, said that the awards established a new record last year by receiving nearly 10,000 ballots cast across 85 different categories, and she expects that number to rise again in 2025.

Two awards are presented in each category, gold for first place and silver for second. At times, if votes are within 10, a tie is called and two businesses are awarded for one category.

The awards are presented at a gathering at Erik's Church, which is scheduled for Aug. 14, 2025. Each winner is given a decal and plaque to display at their business or on vehicles, etc. to recognize their accomplishment.

“Now in it’s 11th year, the Eagle Choice Award has become a well-known symbol of business trust and top-notch customer service,” Carter said. “It is an honor to be able to recognize the many companies that pour their heart and souls into their businesses each year. The competition is tough and even for those businesses that are not awarded with gold or silver, we hope that they appreciate every vote they get. The exposure of even being listed on the ballot is a win for branding and name recognition.”

According to Kelly Mank, owner and publisher of The Windham Eagle newspaper, the Eagle Choice Awards are a great way for the public to learn about a business they may not be familiar with and to discover the very best services, food and products that are available in the community.

“The Eagle Choice Awards give the community trusted options and a unique way to connect residents and visitors here with area businesses in meaningful ways,” Mank said. “Best of all, every vote comes from the readers and is based upon how they feel about local businesses.”

Carter said a few new categories have been added and some from previous years have been updated. For 2025, there are a total of 93 categories.

Businesses in the updated categories have been split to better represent business services. Those include Auto Detailing and Car Wash into two separate categories, Aesthetics/Med Spa has been split into Facial and Med Spa, and Trash Services has been split into Junk Removal and Trash Services/Dumpster Rentals.

New categories this year are Burger, Dog Training, Interior Design/Home Staging, and Remediation.

While the newspaper does its best to keep current on adding new businesses and deleting those that are closed and including everyone, they welcome feedback to help improve ballot choices for the upcoming years by sending an email to: awards@thewindhameagle.com. Voters may also use the write-in option to nominate a business that is not already listed.

Eagle Choice Award voters must cast ballots in at least 10 categories or more and must also include their email address when uploading or turning in a ballot for it to be valid to ensure that only one vote is cast by an individual. Email addresses collected during the Eagle Choice Awards competition are not sold or distributed to a third party.

A paper ballot is available in The Windham Eagle newspaper’s print edition this week (see facing page 10). You can either mail in the physical ballot or take a picture and upload via email to: awards@thewindhameagle.com. The paper ballot must be received by us no later than Friday, July 18 to be counted.

The easiest and most popular way to vote is online at www.thewindhameagle.com/awards. <

Owned by Bill and Julie Onorato and located at 15 Steamboat Landing Road in Naples, just one-quarter of a mile from the Naples Causeway on Route 114, Steamboat Landing Miniature Golf is now in its 46th season and is a relaxing activity that both children and adults will find challenging. Featuring 19 holes and shaded by a sprawling canopy of oak and pine trees, the Steamboat Landing course is Maine-themed and filled with colorful buoys, lighthouses, bears and loop de loops.

The miniature golf course was designed to reflect the history of the Naples area and showcases many scenic landmarks from around Maine.

“Our course is very challenging yet offers a fun experience for even our youngest visitors,” Julie Onorato said. “Families will find our course a good spot for a family competition, or simply a leisurely stroll around the course as our trees provide relief from the summer’s heat. We have people who tell us they came here when they were kids, and now they’re bringing their kids and grandkids here too. The location in the woods is so beautiful, especially if you enjoy simplicity and nature.”

She said miniature golf holes at Steamboat Landing include a classic New England-covered bridge, Songo Locks, lobster traps, the Songo River Queen riverboat, a historic western fort, a scenic lighthouse and typical of the many that line Maine’s rocky coast, a windmill, and a Maine Black Bear, who sports a trout catch between his teeth.

As the course winds through the wooded gardens, visitors will find something to catch their eye at every turn. Its charming and lush flower gardens in a quiet and serene setting include the babbling sound of running water as it flows through Steamboat Landing’s Grist Mill.

Free of insects and bugs, the mini-golf course includes a large lot for free parking and tables to sit down and relax after your game. They also offer Maine-favorite Giffords Ice Cream and ice cream sundaes. Restrooms are available.

Open seasonally from May through mid-September, Steamboat Landing Miniature Golf is a great place for families and larger camps and for reunions and groups of co-workers.

Prices are highly affordable, with kids ages 4 to 12 at $8.50, anyone over 13 at $9.75 and seniors 65-plus and military just $8.50. Children under 3 can play for free.

“The course is interesting for adults but is fun for all ages and it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to play,” Julie Onorato said. “We are a 19-hole course, and the 19th hole gives people a chance to win a free game.”

There’s also a popular “Weekly Score to Beat” feature at Steamboat Landing with top scoring players each week earning a free game or a free T-shirt.

As the owners, Julie and Bill Onorato are committed to exceptional customer service excellence and dedicated to providing a genuine and fun mini-golfing experience for all ages.

Reviews posted online show that generations of residents and visitors to the Lakes Region have come to appreciate outings to Steamboat Landing Miniature Golf through the years.

“We stumbled upon Steamboat Landing while looking for kid friendly activities. What a gem! Wonderfully shaded for a hot day and so many creative designs. Fun for parents and 5-year-old.” Ellie R.

“A trip to Maine is never complete without a visit to Steamboat Landing for a round of miniature golf. My family's been coming here since I was a little kid and I'm now in my late 30s.” Colleen L.

A thoughtfully designed, affordable, shaded, and well-maintained course. Beautiful landscaping with ‘Maine’ course features like the Turnpike booths and a ski jump. We'll be back!” Maggie S.

Fantastic little course that had a great atmosphere and very charming with a lot of replicas of local landmarks. The hosts (Bill and Julie) were friendly and welcoming. We are going back whenever we visit the area. Highly recommend.” Jan S.

Business Spotlight: Comfort 365 LLC

Highly efficient and offering substantial energy savings, more and more Mainers are turning to heat pumps as a practical heating and cooling solution and Comfort 365 in Windham is a leading provider of heat pumps in the Lakes Region.

Lex Popov owns and operates Comfort 365,
based out of Windham. He is a Mitsubishi
Diamond Elite Contractor but cleans and
repairs all models. SUBMITTED PHOTO  
Owned and operated by Lex Popov and based in Windham, Comfort 365 offers heat pump installation, service, and cleaning. Popov is a Mitsubishi Diamond Elite Contractor and has invested the time to professionally develop skills at one of Mitsubishi Electric's approved training centers located throughout the United States.

“Only approved contractors that have attended Mitsubishi Electric's training classes and demonstrated advanced product knowledge are awarded the coveted status of Elite Diamond Contractor,” he said. “The status is evaluated every year and Elite Diamond Contractors must demonstrate their continued commitment to serving customers in order to renew their status.”

Popov says that Mitsubishi Electric provides an industry leading 12-year factory warranty protection to back-up their unmatched performance and product quality. And the only way to get a full 12-year warranty is purchasing and installing your Mitsubishi Electric product from a Diamond Contractor.

“I’m an Efficiency Maine Registered vendor,” Popov said. “I go through their requirements and offer rebates for my installations. Heat pumps are great to heat and cool your home and space. Very economical. Rebates are making it even more affordable, and I offer instant rebates in some cases.”

Mitsubishi Electric heat pump systems provide modular zone-by-zone comfort using ductless mini-split systems that can handle up to eight zones at a time, he said.

“Heat or cool only the rooms you need, improving efficiency and reducing energy costs,” Popov said. “I’m happy to see people start saving money on heating bills and air conditioning in the summer.”

He created Comfort 365 five years ago and has been helping customers choose quality products and systems ever since.

“I finished the Southern Maine Community College course for HVAC back in 2009 and worked in different areas after that,” Popov said. “I started installing heat pumps for my friends and family. When the job load rose up, I decided to trust God, quit my full-time job and open my own company in 2020 during the pandemic. We’re capable of servicing all your heating and cooling needs. We are dedicated to providing superior HVAC services and offering fast, affordable, quality HVAC repairs, installations, and maintenance.”

He said that the name "COMFORT 365" reflects his inspiration from Psalm 36:5, which speaks to the enduring love and faithfulness of the Lord – a reminder that comfort can be a constant presence in every season and will exist eternally through the love of Jesus Christ.”

Comfort 365 is all about achieving customer satisfaction and installing quality equipment at a fair price.

“My customers are always talking about the neatness of the installations and keeping the work area clean,” he said. “I try to match my line-hide enclosures with the color of the siding. Some folks are running everything white, because it’s easier to just stock up one color, but I don't mind going the extra mile to get the job done neat and right.

Reviews for Comfort 365 are exceptional.

“Lex was great! He gave a fair complete quote and charged what he quoted. He was professional, friendly and considerate. Would highly recommend him and use him again in a heartbeat.” Steve L.

“I hired Comfort 365 for heat pump installation and I’m very pleased with the performed work. Lex was very prompt and did an excellent job with the installation. Provided a lot of information and tips for efficient usage of the unit. I definitely recommend Comfort 365 and will hire them for future projects.” Vlad M.

“On time, on price. Did exactly what he said he would do. Zero hassle. An ideal contractor.” Cameron B.

“Lex and his team did an outstanding job explaining the pros and cons of a ductless heat pump for our particular house. He listened to our requirements and developed a plan to solve our specific challenges. The installation was completed quickly and very professionally. Additionally, he helped us navigate the rebate process thru Efficiency Maine.” Chad B.
