RIDGEWOOD, NJ — After a car crashed through the front window of a hair salon in Ridgewood on Thursday, neighbors pitched in to help. As a result, the salon was able to reopen Friday.
"We had an incident at the salon today as one of our dear clients hit the gas instead of the brakes and drove through the front window of the salon," wrote Tapestry Hair Salon on social media on Thursday night. "Miraculously, no one was hurt at all. A huge shoutout and thanks to Mike and Rich at MGC Painting and Home Improvements! Their offices are right up the street and they had us cleaned up and the window boarded up in no time."
They added, "We will be back at work tomorrow! Thanks for all the phone calls and texts with sympathy. God is good!"
They also thanked Dominic and the staff of Graze restaurant in Ho-Ho-Kus for help too.
A worker at the salon on Friday confirmed that they had re-opened.
The driver, who was from Fair Lawn, crashed through the salon on North Maple Avenue around 11 a.m., police told Patch.
There were no injuries, according to Police Captain Glenn Ender.
"The driver accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake while parking," Ender said.
No summonses were issued, he said.
