\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFOR NOW IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, RACHEL PERRY, WPBF 25 NEWS. A BOCA RATON SALON OWNER IS TRYING TO PICK UP THE PIECES AFTER A FIRE DESTROYED HER BUSINESS OF 25 YEARS. NOW SHE IS ASKING THE COMMUNITY FOR HELP AS SHE WORKS TO REBUILD. REPORTER CALEB CALIFANO HAS HER STORY. SOPHIA LOREN SALON HAS BEEN A STAPLE HERE IN BOCA RATON FOR DECADES NOW. TODAY, THE OWNER TELLS ME SHE\u2019S DEVASTATED. NOT JUST FOR HER, BUT FOR HER EMPLOYEES AND CLIENTS AS WELL. HELLO, EVERYBODY. FOR SOPHIA CADENA, HER SALON WAS MORE THAN JUST A BUSINESS. IT WAS A SECOND HOME. BUT SINCE A FIRE RIPPED THROUGH THE SALON LATE LAST MONTH, SHE SAYS EVERYTHING SHE SPENT DECADES BUILDING IS NOW GONE. IT WAS FULL OF ASHES. SO JUST TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE BUILT, I HAVE PATENTS, CLIPS, CHAIRS, EQUIPMENT. MY TEAM, EQUIPMENT, MY SON RUNS IN THERE, ALL HIS TOYS, EXTENSIONS, EVERYTHING IN THERE. ON JUNE 22ND, CADENA SAYS SHE WOKE UP TO MESSAGES SAYING SOPHIA LOREN SALON WAS ON FIRE. WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING OVER TO THE SCENE. SHE AT FIRST THOUGHT THE ENTIRE PLAZA WAS BURNED. SHE THEN LEARNED HER SALON RECEIVED A MAJORITY OF THE DAMAGE. AT THIS TIME, THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. MY SECOND HOME. I ALWAYS CALL IT LIKE IT\u2019S MY SECOND HOME. THEY\u2019RE MY FAMILY. LIKE MY EMPLOYEES ARE MY FAMILY. MY CLIENTS ARE MY FAMILY. I\u2019M. IT\u2019S. YEAH, BECAUSE I\u2019M HERE ALL THE TIME. CADENA SAYS CURRENTLY, HER EMPLOYEES ARE NOW OUT OF WORK, AND SHE\u2019S STILL WAITING ON THE FIRE REPORT AND THE INSURANCE PROCESS BEFORE SHE CAN FULLY BEGIN REBUILDING. IN THE MEANTIME, SHE\u2019S REACHING OUT TO CLIENTS, APPLYING FOR ASSISTANCE, AND NONSTOP SEARCHING FOR A NEW LOCATION. AND DESPITE THE DEVASTATION, SHE SAYS THE SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY HAS GIVEN HER HOPE. I\u2019M SO, SO, SO GRATEFUL BECAUSE THEY ARE REACHING OUT TO MY TEAM, TO MYSELF. AND YOU KNOW HOW SOCIAL MEDIA. THANK YOU FOR SOCIAL MEDIA THAT WE CAN SPREAD THE WORD. SO YES, THEY\u2019VE BEEN V\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
