Written by Sofia Pangalos
Located on Hwy 33, just across the way from Save on Foods, Letaya Salon and Spa has been providing quality hair and aesthetic services to Kelowna’s Rutland neighborhood for over five years.
Grewal, whose clients rave about the quality of service she delivers, is a skilled laser technician, certified cosmetologist and the owner of Letaya Salon and Spa.
Over the five years she’s been based out of Rutland, she says she has “cultivated a strong and supportive relationship with the community.”
“Rutland is special due to its close-knit community, embracing cultural diversity, thriving local businesses, breathtaking natural beauty, esteemed educational institutions, and rich historical significance. These factors come together to create a uniquely vibrant and captivating place that residents and visitors cherish,” she continues.
Grewal has witnessed the community she treasures undergo many notable transformations, most notably, its economic and cultural diversification.
“As Kelowna's population has expanded, Rutland has emerged as a vibrant and thriving neighborhood, attracting residents from various backgrounds,” she says.
“In terms of diversity, Rutland has become increasingly multicultural. The community now encompasses a wide range of ethnicities, cultures, and languages. This diversity has contributed to a more inclusive and enriching environment, fostering cross-cultural interactions, and promoting a greater appreciation for different traditions and perspectives.”
Overall, she believes the “expansion [of Rutland] has brought additional resources and opportunities for residents, enhancing the overall quality of life in the area.”
And she is devoted to further fostering that growth. The whole Letaya Salon and Spa team is committed to supporting fellow local businesses in the Rutland area, whether that be as patrons, promoters, or active participants in community events that showcase local products and services.
In Grewal’s dreams for Rutland, she envisions a community that “thrives on unity, sustainability and cultural richness.” She hopes to see Rutland's economic landscape continue to flourish, providing abundant job opportunities.
And above all, she dreams of a place “where community bonds are strong, with residents actively supporting and engaging with one another, creating a sense of belonging and inclusion.”
