An apartment is located on the second floor, but no one was there, officials said. No one was hurt, and damage to the building was not significant.
Raneshia Hall, who owns the salon, said she offers free services to people in need and can’t believe someone would target her business.
“I put blood, sweat and tears into this. I work hard.” Hall said. “I do this for my kids, for my family. I just can't believe someone would be this hateful.”
