Ruffles of London, a hair salon that has been located in the Glenmont Shopping Center for nearly 30 years, has closed its doors.
Sylvia Michael opened her first salon in Kensington in 1984 after previously owning a salon in London, England. She worked alongside her sister Eva Georgiou, also a stylist, who assisted in managing the location.
A massive fire in the shopping center caused them to move to Wheaton Triangle, where they stayed for 8 years. In 1994, a flood in that salon forced them to move once more, this time to Glenmont, where they stayed until today.
Sylvia made the decision to retire, and the stylists will continue to work at various places in the county. They shared with us that they were fortunate to have many clients who have supported them through it all. “We had a good run.” Sylvia told us.
