Makailah Fuentes has opened Maks Glamm at the Salon and Spa Galleria Weatherford in Weatherford, Texas, according to a press release distributed by 24-7PressRelease. The new salon offers hair, lash and nail services, and its launch illustrates how independent beauty professionals are using suite-based rental models to become business owners without the overhead of a traditional storefront.
Fuentes graduated from Cisco College in May 2025 and is a licensed cosmetologist and certified lash artist specializing in hair, lashes and nails. She said the work is a creative outlet. “I love being creative and making people feel beautiful and confident,” Fuentes said.
Maks Glamm provides shampoo, blowdry, haircut and style; color; full and partial highlights; balayage; toner; and root touchup, along with GelX nails and lashes. Braiding services include French and Dutch braids with beads or charms, and tinsel, feathers and color extensions are also available. Fuentes offers customized event packages for birthday parties, princess parties, slumber parties, bridal parties, weddings, girls’ day out, team celebrations and bachelorette parties. Kids Glamm Pamper Packages for ages 12 and under include gel manicure, beads, tinsel, feathers and color extensions.
The salon is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, with evening appointments available by request. Appointments can be scheduled through Fuentes’ booking site. The business can also be reached by phone or text at (940) 328-2850, or through direct message on social media. More information is available on the salon’s Instagram, Facebook and TikTok pages. A month-long grand-opening promotion runs throughout September, with GelX Nails for $40 and lash sets for $80.
For business and technology leaders, the opening is a small but telling example of how the beauty industry is being restructured by flexible leasing and independent work. Salon and Spa Galleria, which operates 23 locations in the United States, describes itself as one of the fastest-growing, privately held salon studio lease businesses. It offers salon suites to independent beauty and wellness professionals with stations starting at $75 per week, including water and electricity in the rent. Suites include state-of-the-art equipment, free WiFi, a smart TV with fiber, and a washbowl or sink. Tenants also have access to a waiting area, a break room with microwave, sink, refrigerator and Keurig coffee maker, an onsite laundry room with soap provided, and tankless water heaters for instant hot water.
The location is near large businesses and shopping areas and serves Weatherford, Hudson Oaks, Willow Park, Brock, Aledo, Walsh Ranch and Mineral Wells. It offers around-the-clock salon access, 24-hour security monitoring, free parking, handicap accessibility and wide hallways. For readers, the model matters because it lowers the capital barrier to entrepreneurship while giving established salon operators a way to scale through leased suites rather than company-owned locations. It also signals continued demand for flexible, service-based small businesses that can operate from shared real estate. To inquire about space for rent in the Salon and Spa Galleria Weatherford, the press release directs interested parties to the salon chain’s website.
