Floka Salon moving to upstairs-downstairs shop on Bayview

It’s official. Floka Salon will move to the interesting new upstairs-downstairs commercial premises under renovation at 1643 Bayview Ave. Floka is a long-time tenant at Sunnybrook Plaza but it now appears to be making a permanent new home just north of Fleming Crescent. Sources at the shop said Friday that the firm hopes to move to the new shop sometime in April. Work at the site features a striking wood frame incorporating the first and second floors of the building. A building permit allowing the conversion of the place from mixed-use (i.e. residence and commercial) to single-use commercial was issued earlier in February.
