A hair salon in downtown Antioch has been forced to close after an arson fire. The salon, which offered services such as weaves and braids, had been a local favorite for six years. The fire broke out early Sunday morning and caused significant damage.

Despite firefighters containing the blaze, the smoke and heat rendered the interior unusable. The building has been deemed extensively damaged, with officials stating that walls and flooring will need to be stripped. Further details on the incident are available from NBC Bay Area.
