Makailah Fuentes, a licensed cosmetologist and certified lash artist, has opened Maks Glamm at the Salon and Spa Galleria Weatherford in Weatherford, Texas. The salon, which began accepting appointments in September 2026, offers a variety of beauty services including haircuts, color, highlights, balayage, GelX nails, and lashes. Fuentes, who graduated from Cisco College in May 2025, said she loves being creative and making people feel beautiful and confident.
The opening of Maks Glamm reflects a growing trend in the beauty industry: independent professionals leveraging suite rental concepts to launch their own businesses without the overhead of a traditional salon. This model allows stylists like Fuentes to focus on their craft while benefiting from shared amenities and flexible leasing terms. For readers, this means more personalized beauty options and convenient locations. For the industry, it signals continued demand for customizable services and event packages, such as those offered by Maks Glamm for birthday parties, bridal parties, and kids' pamper packages.
Maks Glamm provides a wide range of services, including shampoo, blowdry, haircut and style; color; full and partial highlights; balayage; toner; and root touchup. Nail services feature GelX nails, while lash services include full and partial sets. Braiding options such as French and Dutch braids with beads or charms are available, along with tinsel, feathers, and color extensions. Customized event packages cater to special celebrations, and Kids Glamm Pamper Packages are designed for ages 12 and under, including gel manicure, beads, tinsel, feathers, and color extensions.
The salon is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, with evening appointments available by request. To celebrate the grand opening, Fuentes is offering a month-long promotion throughout September: GelX Nails for $40 and lash sets for $80.
