Correction 4/5/22 @ 11:12 AM: An earlier version of this story said that Salon PiZazz owner, Kelly Strilcov, will be retiring, which is not correct. Kelly Strilcov issued a statement saying she is “absolutely not retiring”. I apologize for the misunderstanding. – Jessie Wiegand
Salon PiZazz, a downtown Port Huron hair salon, is closing its doors after almost 20 years in business. The salon’s stylists will be transitioning to other local salons.
The salon had been awaiting a move while the owner of its building, Harrison Investment Properties, has been renovating the entire block. In a press release, Strilcov said the “renovations are taking significantly longer than initially projected, resulting in the decision by both parties to permanently close the doors of Salon PiZazz by the end of April.”
Harrison Investment Properties is the owner of the entire block on Quay Street which includes Wings Etc. They originally planned for Salon PiZazz to relocate from their storefront on the northwest corner of the building to a space overlooking the Black River.
Kelly Strilcov said closing the salon is bittersweet. “The daily behind the scenes responsibilities of ownership have never been my strong suit. Not having those will be a relief. However, what’s being lost brings much sadness.”
Strilcov will continue to coordinate Mannequins Making a Difference, the artistic hair, makeup, and modeling competition for charity that takes place during Blue Water Fest.
“With Salon PiZazz closing, the annual fundraiser will now provide opportunities for other area salon teams and stylists to design a mannequin to showcase their own talents and to Make a Difference for one of our local nonprofits,” said Strilcov.
