While she's moving on to bigger and better things, opening a new salon at the new Fairy Springs Rd development on the former Oderings site, Ms Blezard said she was disappointed at the way Eat Streat had ended up for her.
"Eat Streat has killed my business. It just hasn't come to fruition the way we thought it would."
Ms Blezard has operated her salon from the location for the past two years.
She said the new Eat Streat was blocked in, penned off and there was very little walk-through business, except for a short time-frame in the middle of the day when restaurants opened for lunch.
Ms Blezard said when she first opened the salon she loved the alfresco outlook, but since the redevelopment the fences and drop-down clear screens between businesses meant that outlook had been lost. She believed the atmosphere had been lost.
The decision to move had developed over time, and when the new spot came up Ms Blezard jumped at the chance.
She said she didn't want to become the third or fourth salon on a street, but with plenty of free parking, lots of buzzing businesses and a great catchment the Fairy Springs development was the perfect opportunity and felt right.
Ms Blezard said she'd love to see a cafe open in her place.
Arawa Fine Wines owner Sharon Bell said it would be the "end of an era" when the business closed in mid-July.
It has been around for almost 60 years, with her and her husband the owners for the past seven.
Mrs Bell said they felt the time was right to close, so that they could spend more time with family and travelling.
She described the Eat Streat redevelopment as "wonderful".
"I love the atmosphere of the place."
Another food and wine shop is believed to be planned for the site.
