Maks Glamm Opens in Weatherford, Bringing Gel-X Nails and Kids' Glam to Local Beauty Scene

Beauty enthusiasts in Weatherford and surrounding communities have a new destination for personalized hair, nail, and lash services. Maks Glamm, an independent beauty studio, has opened its doors at Salon & Spa Galleria I-20 in Weatherford, located in Suite 508. The studio is owned by Makailah Fuentes and offers a range of services including hair, nails, and lashes, with a specialty in Gel-X nails and custom nail art. Unique kids' glam packages are also available, giving younger clients the opportunity to enjoy a fun and memorable beauty experience.

Fuentes studied at Cisco College and has one year of experience in the beauty industry. While she is relatively new to the profession, her decision to pursue beauty was driven by a desire to combine creativity with entrepreneurship. For Fuentes, creating a comfortable environment is just as important as providing quality beauty services. "I want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome in my space," Fuentes said. "We can talk, or we can sit and enjoy the silence." That welcoming philosophy is at the heart of Maks Glamm, where clients can relax, express themselves, and enjoy time dedicated to feeling their best.

The opening of Maks Glamm matters because it highlights the growing trend of independent beauty professionals finding spaces to launch and grow their businesses. By joining Salon & Spa Galleria I-20, Fuentes becomes part of a community of beauty entrepreneurs who operate their own businesses while creating personalized experiences. The location was a natural fit due to its convenient access near Interstate 20, making it easy for clients throughout Weatherford and nearby communities to reach the studio. This accessibility could help drive local foot traffic and support the broader local economy by keeping beauty spending within the community.

To celebrate the opening and welcome new clients, Maks Glamm is currently offering Gel-X nail services for $40 and lash sets for $90. Appointments are required. The studio's regular hours are Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. These introductory prices may appeal to budget-conscious consumers and help establish a loyal clientele.

Salon and Spa Galleria, founded by Ron Sturgeon, provides equipped private suites in a supportive, upscale environment. With a focus on flexibility, creativity, and professional growth, the brand has expanded to 23 locations across the DFW area. This expansion offers opportunities for professionals like Fuentes to thrive while delivering top-tier services to clients. The success of such models could encourage more entrepreneurship in the beauty industry, particularly in suburban areas like Weatherford.

With her own studio now open, Fuentes is excited to continue developing her skills, growing her clientele, and building a beauty business that reflects her creative personality and passion for making people feel welcome. As Maks Glamm establishes itself, it may serve as an example of how independent beauty studios can contribute to local economic vitality and community engagement.
