Locally Owned Boutique Latest To Join Power And Light District

Ms. Annette Jones, the owner of Zafar Boutique and Salon, announced this week that she will be joining the growing list of local entrepreneurs operating in the Kansas City Power and Light District.

The new specialty boutique, salon and spa will take 3000 square feet on the west side of Main Street between 13th and 14th Streets. Named after the Arabic word meaning "victory", Zafar Boutique will be a unique and exciting addition to downtown and will cater to professional women and men alike.

Zafar will feature ten salon stations, a private line of salon/spa products and a wide array of top quality clothes for the professional man and woman. A true urban oasis, the spa will offer services that soothe the spirit and relieve stress, including, massage, facial treatments, hair styling and much, more.

"To perform at your best you must look and feel your best, and Zafar is the first step in achieving this" said Ms. Jones.

"We will be superior to other Boutiques and stand out from the rest because of our unique approach to taking specialized care of each guest. We will complete a 'Whole Person Style Assessment' of our customers and provide services to make them feel complete, inside and out." Ms. Jones continued.

The Power and Light District is the ideal place for Zafar with the great crowds, diversity of tenants and the positive energy that it has created in such a short time," she stated.

Zafar joins several other locally-owned retailers that have recently joined the Power and Light District, including Savvy Coffee and Wine Bar, The Peachtree, Mema's Old Fashioned Bakery and the Mixx. Zafar is opening with substantial backing and support from both the Downtown Minority Development Council's small business loan program, and the Kansas City Power and Light District Minority Entrepreneurship Fund. The Minority Entrepreneurship Fund is a Cordish initiative that provides planning and financial support to local businessmen and women.

"Adding a fantastic new boutique and spa that offers such a high level of service is yet another step in making the Power and Light District a destination that offers something unique for everyone every time they visit" said Jon Stephens, president of the District.
