Salon owner steps up when friends struggle
R.O.I. Salon in Cameron Village will honor gift certificates from Iatria, which is going out of the business.
Posted — UpdatedA sign on the front door of the Cary location explained the spa is "the most recent victim in this difficult economy" that brought a "sales hit" they "could not overcome."
Customers with memberships and gift certificates called Five On Your Side, worried that those investments would be worthless.
Roi Parker, owner of R.O.I. Salon in Cameron Village and a friend of Iatria owners Dave and Erika Mangrum, stepped up to cover those responsibilities.
His salon will honor Iatria certificates dollar for dollar.
“As long as clients will be patient we will accommodate every single gift certificate that is outstanding with the spa," Parker said.
“I think it's very important to do this for the community. In sad times, I think this could put a little smile back on the faces when they go to the salon and can no longer get in,” he added.
There is one caveat – R.O.I. Salon does not do massages, so customers have to apply gift certificates to hair, nail and skin care services.
