This is a hair salon that bears a suspiciously familiar name — written in a suspiciously familiar font, no less!
Yoon explains the meaning of the Korean characters: “The characters below ‘SALON Ultima’ are Korean. [They] can be pronounced ‘Hah Een Yeh Mer Ree Bahng’. ‘Hah Een Yeh’ is someone’s name (maybe [a] woman’s name) and ‘Mer Ree Bahng’ means ‘hair salon’.”

[...] I was going through some old pictures of mine and was reminded of what I have decided will become Aiera’s first “joke” remake: Salon Ultima! [...]

Edmonton Alberta? I live in Edmonton! I’ll have to check this out.
But it is definately Korean and it is definately a hair salon.

Heh…ah, a fellow Edmontonian!
It’s…well, the easiest way to get to it is to go to the Faculte St. Jean (that French external campus of the University of Alberta on the east side of Mill Creek Ravine, just north of 82nd Avenue) and then go a bit north along 91 Street until you hit a T-intersection.
The salon is just to the west of the intersection, on the south side of the avenue.
Alternatively, just go out the “back” (i.e. west) end of Bonnie Doon Mall, find 88 Avenue, and head west along it. You’ll come to the same point. Approaching the salon from the west directly, or the north, won’t work so well for you, just because of the geometry of the neighbourhood.
