Las Vegas hairdressers still standing after ‘devastating' fire
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Las Vegas hairdressers who lost their salon in a 'devastating' fire want customers to know their chairs are still open down the street. Clark County Firefighters battled a two-story blaze on July 25, leaving eight businesses picking up the pieces. Their doors are closed as the most recent update from investigators cites the cause still 'undetermined.' 'It's been our home for so very long, we would love to move back into it,' Donna Jordan, vice president of operations for a Las Vegas Supercuts, said. 'We are optimistic and hopeful. We're just kind of like everyone else, just waiting right now to see what becomes of the property. In the meantime, try to take good care of our stylists.' On the morning of the University Gardens fire, Jordan was in the middle of a conference call when suddenly her phone began pinging with messages. 'My phone just started blowing up with everybody texting me, there's a fire,' she said. 'Our first concern was all of our staff safe.' The location's four stylists, Janet, Kayla, Joanna, and Destiny, all moved from the 40-year-old location to their Sahara and Maryland locations. 'Although it's been really hard and they're very sad, we're also very optimistic and grateful that people are starting to find us,' Jordan said. One of the hardest burdens on the stylists is the lack of business, tips, and clientele, according to Jordan, who asked for university customers to come down the street. University Gardens is now boarded up and secure with three guards on watch, 8 News Now observed Friday afternoon. Jordan said she was thankful her business was not broken into, but was saddened to hear others were not so lucky. The biggest task now for Jordan and her stylists is to reconnect the fractured pieces of their salon. 'Please just come down and see our team,' she said. 'They feel like they've lost part of their family, so we're trying to put their family back together for them.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
