Makailah Fuentes has transformed her passion for creativity into a business with the opening of Maks Glamm, a new salon located within the Salon and Spa Galleria Weatherford in Weatherford, Texas. The salon officially began accepting appointments, bringing a comprehensive suite of beauty services to the area.
Fuentes, a licensed cosmetologist and certified lash artist who graduated from Cisco College in May 2025, specializes in hair, lashes, and nails. "I love being creative and making people feel beautiful and confident," Fuentes said. "This truly is a creative outlet for me." Her decision to open her own salon represents a significant step for the recent graduate, transitioning from employee to business owner in a competitive industry.
The salon's service menu includes shampoo, blowdry, haircut and style; color; full and partial highlights; balayage; toner; and root touchup. For nails and lashes, GelX nails and lash sets are available. Braiding services feature French and Dutch braids, with options to add beads or charms, as well as tinsel, feathers, and color extensions.
A key differentiator for Maks Glamm is its focus on customized event packages for special celebrations. These packages cater to birthday parties, princess parties, slumber parties, bridal parties, weddings, girls' day out, team celebrations, and bachelorette parties. Additionally, Kids Glamm Pamper Packages for ages 12 and under include gel manicure, beads, tinsel, feathers, and color extensions, filling a niche for family-oriented beauty services in the community.
The salon operates 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, with GelX Nails for $40 and lash sets for $80. This promotional pricing is designed to attract new clients and showcase the salon's capabilities.
