Ola Salon at 2942 S.W. Avalon Way is behind the Lunapark Block Party on Thursday, July 29. The event, designed to call attention to the businesses in the Luna Park neighborhood on Avalon Way will feature live music, entertainment, a raffle, free beverages, food by Luna Park cafe, and complimentary servides at Ola Salon.

Ola Salon, Luna Park Café, Java Bean Espresso, Avalon Glassworks, Café Revo and West Seattle produce will be hosting this event intended to breathe new life into this historic neighborhood in West Seattle. Originally an amusement park from 1907 to 1913, the neighborhood now boasts an eclectic collection of independent small businesses and strives to make a footprint in the Seattle area.

Ola Salon owner Rachel Karlin said, "The reason the party came together is because we feel like a lot of people don't know about us and we don't want to be a secret." The salon, set at the the back of their lot on Avalon Way, doesn't have the on street presence of the other businesses so her point is well taken. "We're a lot of fun to hang out with and in my mind we have some of the best stylists in the city."
The party, Karlin continued, "is just a way to invite our neighbors down to see what we have to offer."

All the Avalon businesses share ideas about networking and reaching out to the community according to Karlin and they all patronize each other. "We go to Revo and have cocktails and happy hour and we frequent Java Bean every day (sometimes more than once), depending on how caffeinated we need to be."

The party will start at Ola and end down at Avalon Glassworks 2914 S.W. Avalon Way.

Food will be provided by Luna Park Café (French Fries and Milkshakes)
plus an Elvis Cover Band.
