As Tomasia DaSilva reports, the closure has left the salon’s owner and clients very angry.The imminent closure of a hair salon located at a Calgary hospital is causing a lot of angst for its owner and the clients who use it.
Kanbour said not only is this sad for him, but also for many of his clients — many of them, patients at the hospital.Evelyn Fagin has gone to the salon a few times over the past couple of years. The first time, she said, was during a long stay in the emergency room.“This all became a rat’s nest,” she told Global News pointing to her hair. “I can’t say enough about that man . He went above and beyond.
“It makes you feel better. Makes you feel like a human again. Not just a number. Not just a patient,” she said.An Alberta Health Servicesspokesperson told Global News the hair salon is a private business that leases space inside the hospital.The lease was set to expire December 2023, but AHS extended it to June 30, 2024, to “support the owner in finding a new space.”
Gallaway said more and more of these types of services are going to get “pushed out” and that’s a shame because he said they’re “crucial.”
