Makailah Fuentes, a licensed cosmetologist and certified lash artist, has opened Maks Glamm within the Salon and Spa Galleria Weatherford in Weatherford, Texas. The salon officially began accepting appointments, marking Fuentes' transition from graduate to business owner. After completing her studies at Cisco College in May 2025, Fuentes wasted no time launching her career, and now she has taken the next step by establishing her own salon suite.
Fuentes emphasizes creativity as the driving force behind her business. "I love being creative and making people feel beautiful and confident," she said. "This truly is a creative outlet for me." That passion translates into a comprehensive menu of services designed to cater to a wide range of beauty needs. Clients can book shampoo, blowdry, haircut and style, color, full and partial highlights, balayage, toner, and root touchup services. For those seeking nail and lash enhancements, Maks Glamm offers GelX nails and lash sets. Braiding services include French and Dutch braids, with options to add beads or charms. Tinsel, feathers, and color extensions are also available, allowing for personalized, festive looks.
Beyond individual appointments, Fuentes provides customized event packages for special celebrations. These packages cover birthday parties, princess parties, slumber parties, bridal parties, weddings, girls' day out, team celebrations, and bachelorette parties. For younger clients, the Kids Glamm Pamper Packages, designed for ages 12 and under, include a gel manicure, beads, tinsel, feathers, and color extensions. This focus on group events and parties positions Maks Glamm as a destination for both personal pampering and social gatherings.
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: GelX Nails for $40 and lash sets for $80. Clients can schedule appointments through Fuentes' booking site, call or text (940) 328-2850, or send a direct message via social media. More information is available on the salon's Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok pages.
The opening of Maks Glamm matters because it reflects the continued growth of the independent beauty industry, where professionals like Fuentes can leverage flexible salon suite arrangements to launch their own businesses. The location within Salon and Spa Galleria Weatherford, which is close to several large businesses and shopping areas, offers convenience for clients from Weatherford, Hudson Oaks, Willow Park, Brock, Aledo, Walsh Ranch, and Mineral Wells. The facility provides 24-hour access and security monitoring, free parking, and handicap accessibility, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment. For entrepreneurs, the competitive rates and flexible leasing terms—with salon stations starting at $75 per week and utilities included—lower the barrier to entry. This model supports local economic activity and gives consumers more personalized beauty options, underscoring a shift toward customizable, suite-based salon experiences.
