Salon reopens with permanent memorial to shooting victims By Mary Reardon Freeman Staff BROOKFIELD ��� Groups of three ��� three yellow roses, three pieces of coral, three wreaths, three candles ��� have a meaningful and permanent place at the redesigned Azana Salon & Spa in Brookfield. Each set of three represents the women, Cary Robuck, Zina Daniel Haughton and Maelyn Lind, who were killed at the spa Oct. 21 by Haughton���s husband, Radcliffe Haughton, who committed suicide at the spa. Four women were wounded. The spa reopened Dec. 1. Zina Daniel Haughton���s family has asked that she be identified by her maiden name of Daniel. The redesign was a very personal and emotional endeavor for Viki Murray , interior designer and sister of owner Tami Gemmell. Murray was getting her hair done by Maelyn Lind when the shooting occurred. ���It���s definitely cathartic, it���s very healing,��� says Murray of the design. ���To me, it would have just felt wrong for someone else to come in here and do it. And I feel like I���ve honored the three women who died here that day by making this a new place for our Azana families,��� she said. Murray���s color choices of warm blues and greens were deliberate in the wake of the tragedy ���Blue evokes emo. tions and feelings, feelings of calmness, feelings of serenity and feelings of tranquility . It can also lower our body temperature and our heart rate and promote a physical healing,��� she said. ���Green is stress-relieving; that���s why people who are getting ready to go on camera sit in a green room,��� she said. The redesign is key for the 65 employees who continue to work at Azana. Four quit after the shooting. ���It���s important for the employees that it look completely different so the girls could feel good about coming back in here,��� said Murray . Part of the back wall of the first floor is covered in mirrors, so employees at pedicure stations can see the front door behind them. It���s a security thing,��� Murray said. The area of Zina Daniel Haughton���s former station by the spa���s front entrance is now a permanent memorial, with two small chairs, an abstract green-blue painting, three yellow flowers and a candle. A plaque outside near the entrance of the spa reads, ���In Memory of Zina, Cary & Maelyn, October 21, 2012, we will miss you.��� Gemmell made the changes for psychological reasons, as a ���new beginning,��� she says, but also because the spa was badly damaged by the sprinkler system, which ran for more than an hour after the incident, leaving as much as a half foot of standing water. It makes one think: How does a workplace go on after such a tragedy? In this case, it���s by taking stock of one���s place in the community . ���I never once considered closing the spa. I own the building and I���ve employed 65 women for 13 years and have a responsibility to them. We���re a big part of Brookfield. And if I close, he wins,��� she says of Radcliffe Haughton. Gemmell says clients are returning. ���We���ve had an outpouring of support from our clientele,��� she said.
