REGINA – Tired of the unwanted attention that comes with sharing a name with a Middle East jihadist group, a Regina salon owner is looking to rebrand.
Two months ago Isis Salon & Day Spa owner Lori Pawson began receiving inquiries about whether or not her business had any affiliation with ISIS, a jihadist group that has been making headlines with violent actions in the Middle East.
“I couldn’t believe someone would refer to a beauty salon and spa as an ISIS terrorist group,” Pawson said at the time.
Despite ongoing support from clients and community partners Pawson says the issue has turned into a “huge controversy.”
Pawson is now looking for help coming up with a new name for her salon – suggestions can be emailed to namechangechallenge@gmail.com.
