Hi, my name is Cong Le, owner of Escape Lash Brow & Nail in Kalamazoo, Michigan (49006).

Our salon was severely damaged after a car crashed into our building. The impact destroyed much of our salon, forcing us to close immediately. Tragically, the vehicle almost hit one customer and two of our employees, turning a normal workday into a terrifying moment for everyone inside.

Thankfully, no one was physically injured, but the emotional and financial damage has been overwhelming. Our equipment, furniture, supplies, and parts of the building were damaged, and we are currently unable to operate our business.

We are working with insurance, but the process takes time, and repairs, lost income, rent, and payroll expenses continue even while we are closed. As a small local business, this unexpected event has put us in a very difficult position.

We are asking for support to help us:

Repair and rebuild the salon

Replace damaged equipment and supplies

Cover rent and basic expenses while closed

Support our employees during this difficult time

Every donation, share, and kind message means more than we can express. Escape Lash Brow & Nail is more than a salon — it is our livelihood and part of the Kalamazoo community. We are grateful for any help as we work to reopen our doors.

Thank you so much for your support, prayers, and kindness.

With gratitude,

Cong Le

Owner, Escape Lash Brow & Nail
