SALON HISTORY
On April 4, 2018 the neighbouring business caught fire and Miyosiwin Salon Spa was forced to close their doors due to extensive water and smoke damage that effected the business. During that time they were able to renovated their space and on April 4, 2019, exactly one year anniversary to the fire they celebrated their Grand Re-opening. To celebrate this day, they had a fundraiser event to raise money for the firemen’s charities. The same firemen that saved their building one year ago were in attendance with fire truck on sight. The Miyosiwin Salon Spa team raised $1750 for the Burn Fund, and Muscular Dystrophy.
In September 2021, Miyosiwin Salon Spa relocated to 434 Broad Street. Due to the struggles that all business faced after the Pandemic it was the best decision for the relocation. The team took to the road again as a traveling salon and spa during the brief five month closure for renovations at their new location. They re-opened their doors February 2021.
