You’ve booked your appointment and gathered your inspiration. But have you ever wondered what happens on our end before you even walk through the door? At b.LUXE Hair and Makeup Studio, the magic doesn’t begin when you sit in the chair. It starts long before that.

We asked some of our team to share how they prepare for each guest, and their answers were a beautiful reminder of why our clients keep coming back.

Madison: The Researcher

Madison: The Researcher

For Madison, preparation goes far beyond checking the appointment schedule.

“I always review the client’s history and notes. If I can, I reach out to previous stylists who have worked with the client and check on formulas, hair type, length, texture, anything I need to know about their hair or them personally.”

“Sometimes I ask about their interests or their vibe so the appointment feels more comfortable and less like meeting a stranger for the first time. I even do this with my longtime clients. I still check and update their notes every time.”

— Madison Elliott, Stylist

For first-time guests, Madison also explains the salon layout so you never feel out of place asking for water or finding the restroom. It’s a small detail that helps turn a first visit into a lasting relationship.

Sam: The Organizer

For Sam, a great appointment starts with thoughtful preparation before you arrive.

“I prep my station with all my tools before you walk in, and I check your service history so I can suggest little extras that’ll make your hair even better. I also double-check if you’re new to me or returning so I can greet you the right way.”

— Sam Dutton, Junior Stylist

That preparation means you’re stepping into a chair that’s already ready for you, with a stylist who’s ideas you’ll love.

Sandra: The Curator

Sandra arrives with a vision already forming, supported by deep product knowledge.

“Before a client’s appointment, I’ll save reference photos that might be a great fit for them. I also decide on retail products I’d recommend, so I’m ready to talk through what will keep their hair looking its best between visits.”

— Sandra Wilkey, Senior Stylist

The goal is simple: you leave feeling great about your hair and confident keeping it that way between visits.

Heidi: The Connector

Heidi believes the best appointments begin with comfort and connection.

“I like to think of a funny story about myself before I start with a client so she knows she can relate to me. I think it’s very important to be relatable and to have fun so the comfort level is there from the start.”

“I also make sure I have plenty of options saved on my Pinterest, new trends, upcoming colors, and cuts that are on point right now, especially if someone comes in with no idea what they’re looking for.”

— Heidi McDade, Senior Stylist

Her mix of fun and inspiration keeps the vibe easygoing and helps clients step outside their comfort zone in the best way.

Emma: The Hostess

Emma’s preparation blends technical readiness with genuine warmth.

“Before you even walk through the door, I’ve already done a little homework. I check who’s coming in so your color formula is prepped and I’m ready to hear the latest about your trips, pets, and life updates. Then I make sure my station is fresh and clean so you can sit down, relax, and have the best time in my chair.”

— Emma Ford, Junior Stylist

That attention to detail makes every visit feel like catching up with a trusted friend who also happens to do incredible hair.

Monique & Corinn: The Sanctuary Keepers

Our estheticians know that skincare is as much about the experience as it is about the results, which begins long before a facial ever starts.

“Before you even come in, I turn on the bed warmer, heat up the oils and stones for your hand and foot treatment, and adjust the lighting so it’s calm and comfortable. And I always put out a call button so you can take your time getting settled and ring me when you’re ready.”

— Monique Laquerre, Master Esthetician

“I get the space ready with soft music, the sound machine, and a light room spray so everything feels clean and peaceful. I want the room to feel like a total escape the second you walk in.”

— Corinn Bradford, Master Esthetician

Corinn: The Sanctuary Keepers

Corinn is also certified in Reiki and Oncology Facial care, supporting clients with specialized skin needs and creating a truly inclusive experience.

MaryAnn: The Welcome

Before you even reach the styling chair, your experience at b.LUXE has already begun.

“My greeting helps set the tone for the entire appointment: friendly, upbeat, and very welcoming. We take pride in our part of the service cycle.”

— MaryAnn McNally, Front Desk

The front desk isn’t just a check-in point. It’s the first moment guests feel the warmth and intention behind every visit.

Heather: The Owner

“I started b.LUXE because I wanted a place where everyone feels taken care of, plain and simple. We are a full hair, makeup, skincare and wig studio with an incredibly talented team, and that makes me so proud every day. We learn together, we grow together, and we show up for every single client,” Heather shares.

For Heather, that sense of care extends beyond beauty services and into supporting clients through life’s more personal moments.

“And for anyone going through hair loss, I want them to know we have a safe, judgment-free, compassionate space here where we truly get it. We just want people to feel good.”

— Heather Cohen, Owner & Wig Specialist
