The story of Zora's Styling Salon and Spa begins with the hopes and
dreams of one woman: Frida Emalange.

Chapter One: A Dream And the Courage to Pursue:
First chapter in the story begins in 2001.   While living in Bellingham,
Frida recognizes an untapped market not being addressed by other
salons in the area: a salon that would cater to clients with all types of hair.

With $3,500, Frida buys her first salon, a tiny shop located on King Street.  
Frida names the salon "ZORA'S Braids and More," in honor of her baby daughter,
Zora, the source, Frida will say "of the courage I needed to open my own business."

Chapter Two: The Road to Success:
Frida begins to build a customer base and within a year she is ready to expand to
a larger space. ZORA'S Braids and More opens in a location at the historic Mount Baker Apartment building.
 This location offered a number of benefits and it allowed Frida to expand her salon services to include spa
treatments and massage.  By the end of 2004, however, the salon had already begun to outgrow its
space.  Finally, after months of searching, Frida found the location she had been looking for: ironically, it
was just walking distance from her shop at the Mount Baker Apartment Building.  

Chapter Three: ZORA'S Styling Salon and Spa:
The new building was in rough shape, but Frida could see the potential.   In December, 2004, renovations
began on the space that would become ZORA'S Styling Salon and Spa.

This new building is over 1800sq-ft with five styling stations, facial room, massage room, spa pedicure and
spa manicure room...the atmosphere is warm and elegant. ZORA'S is a one stop beauty salon. You will feel
welcome as you walk through our door.
