SOUTH LAKEVIEW — A Lincoln Avenue salon is closing its doors next month after years of service.

Alu Salon, 2933 N. Lincoln Ave., will close after May 16. Its owners, Luz and Alfonso Segovia, emailed clients and friends of the business to announce the closure.

"We are writing this note to inform you that we have a job opportunity in Florida we can not turn down. We want to thank you for all your support and for being part of our lives all [these] years," the email read.

Luz Segovia declined to discuss the closure with DNAinfo Chicago.

The salon records and color formulas will be transferred to Bellissima Donna Salon and Spa, 6012 N. Keating Ave., in Sauganash. Owner Flavia Otarola was a former stylist for Alu Salon before she took over Bellissima Donna.

Otarola, who has owned Bellissima Donna for two years, had high praise for her former boss.

"She is the type of woman who had so much knowledge, not only working behind the chair, but bringing new ideas to the salon. She was great for customers," Otarola said.

Bellissima Donna is offering a 20-percent discount to former Alu Salon clients.
