At 10:30 yesterday morning, the ground level of the opulent Glo Salon & Spa was empty of customers.
At the same time, a stone’s throw up the road at Gliss, things were hopping.
Glo owner Mary Louise Abrahamse is suing eight former staffers, who now work at Gliss, for $6.4 million. She accuses them of stealing her business by luring away her clients and leaving her with a small staff of inexperienced workers.
Until yesterday, Abrahamse had declined comment.
“There are two sides to every story,” she said.
Abrahamse and two of her counsel sat down for an interview in the empty third-floor spa level. Instead of allowing his client to speak, lawyer Bob Klotz handed out a one-page statement. After summarizing the case, it ended with, “That is all we have to say at this juncture.”
The tangible crux of the ongoing legal dispute continues to be the thousand or so “colour cards” seized in a surprise search at Gliss two weeks ago.
The cards contain personal client information like contact details.
