Bombshell Beauty and Spa in Euclid remodeled after fire next door

Once one finds their way into Bombshell Beauty and Spa, 21900 Lakeshore Blvd. in Euclid, the transformations made after an arsonist burned the neighboring building last year become very noticeable.

The back entrance has hand-drawn art covering the walls. The sweet smell of incense guides a visitor walking toward the check-in desk while a sense of design in the placement of every plant and painting gives life to the small space.

Owner Jennifer Worden said that after the fire at the neighboring Paragon, she wanted to remodel her salon that was originally storage for the bar.

The fire caused some smoke damage to the walls and windows with even her embossed door not being spared as it was broken by firefighters to gain entry. She said the unfortunate events were, however, a chance to put her own touch on the 12-foot by 62-foot allotment, and now she routinely finds herself changing up the space.

The business is split into two areas with the top having chairs for cuts and other services amid large windows and open spaces, while the downstairs opens up onto a spray tanning booth and sitting area. The spa area has drinks and low lighting for people to relax or participate in reiki, and fairy lights playfully light the walls giving the impression of a surreal wilderness or faraway place.

Worden said she wants people to be able to come down and relax, that she wanted to give her clients and staff a place where they could unwind and take time for themselves. She said that people have been enjoying the services, and she tries to expand even outside of her business.
