Popular Downtown Newark Nail Salon Destroyed by Fire in July, Set to Reopen

Newark

A fire that destroyed a popular nail salon in downtown Newark is set to reopen early Tuesday morning.

Managers at the ViVi Nail Salon and Spa once located at 855 Broad Street will open it's doors early Tuesday morning at it's new location several doors down at 869 Broad Street.

"We are committed in staying in one of the most thriving downtowns in the state of New Jersey" management said in a statement.

Firefighters forced entry into the establishment at around 8 a.m. Friday July 10, 2015 after several people dialed 911 when they saw heavy smoke coming from the salon. It took firefighters a little over an hour to bring the blaze under control.

"It was a total lost for us but most importantly a lost to our loyal customers. I am very happy to be back in downtown Newark but we have never lost contact with our customer base" the manager said. "Our customers are our family and Newark is a place that we love so we stayed here" the manager continued.

ViVi's are expected to have a grand opening get together on Sunday September 27, 2015 from 12-4 p.m. at their new location.
