Your city hall is thinking about your next haircut
Good morning from the Okanagan — the lake is calm, the vines are growing, and we have things to discuss.
Okay but here's the thing nobody talks about with City Hall: they actually have a direct impact on your daily life. They approved a whole bunch of new business licenses last month, and one trend is standing out if you’re trying to get a decent haircut in Kelowna.
According to the recent business license report, there's a definite uptick in personal care services. We’re talking three new hair salons – Serene Strands, The Mane Event, and Clip & Co. – plus a new barbershop, Precision Cuts. They’re popping up all over, from downtown Bernard Avenue to the growing areas near Orchard Park. This tells you something about demand, right? People are moving here, and they need services.
* **Serene Strands:** Hair Salon, Bernard Avenue * **The Mane Event:** Hair Salon, South Pandosy * **Clip & Co.:** Hair Salon, Rutland * **Precision Cuts:** Barbershop, Glenmore
What this means for you, dear listener, is more options and likely some competitive pricing for your next trim. It also points to a growing population that's looking for those everyday services. Keep an eye on the next quarterly report; if this trend continues, we might see even more new businesses opening their doors.
That's the Morning Wire from Kelowna.
