About Cobia
A hair salon in the Sardis retail district.
Cobia is listed as a hair salon in Sardis, which is where a great deal of Chilliwack's commerce now sits. Cottonwood Centre carries something over seventy tenancies, Chilliwack Mall is across the way, and the run of Luckakuck Way between them is the closest thing this city has to a big-box strip. Sardis is only the fourth largest neighborhood by area and carries a wildly disproportionate share of the city's storefronts. It also holds the Skowkale and Yakweakwioose communities and the Coqualeetza Lands, so it is not only shops, but shops are what most of the city drives here for. What the listing itself carries is thin. There is a postal code in the retail district and nothing beyond it: no street number, no telephone, no web address. For a trade that runs almost entirely on appointments, that is the missing piece rather than a small omission.
Hairdressing has followed the housing here, and the housing has moved south. The greatest concentration of salons is now along the Vedder Road corridor through Sardis and Vedder, in the strip plazas serving subdivisions that filled in over the last fifteen years. An older group survives downtown around Five Corners, where several rooms have been working for decades. Promontory and the Eastern Hillsides, for all their growth, have almost no commercial space at all, so the stylists serving those streets tend to rent a chair down on the flat or work from a home studio. Chains and franchises are not listed on this site, so every room on the salon page is independent. Anyone trying to book at this one will have to find its contact details elsewhere, and it is worth being clear when you do about what you are after, since range varies from room to room. The postal code narrows it to the retail end of Sardis, which is a start and not much more.
