Loctician Angel Vaughan has opened Angelic Visions in the Salon and Spa Galleria South Cooper in Arlington, Texas, bringing 16 years of cosmetology experience with a focus on educating clients about maintaining healthy natural hair. Vaughan, who attended Aladdin's Beauty Academy in Lawton, Oklahoma, emphasizes that most clients seek guidance for specific hair issues and proper routines.
"Most of my clients have specific issues and are looking for guidance to help get their hair back on track," Vaughan said. "Right now, my focus is on educating my clients about the proper products and routines for natural, healthy hair." This educational approach addresses growing consumer demand for chemical-free hair care alternatives and represents a shift toward more sustainable beauty practices.
One of Vaughan's specialties is silk press, a technique that uses a blow-dryer and flat iron to straighten hair instead of chemical relaxers. The process begins with washing, conditioning, and blow-drying, followed by straightening with a flat iron while applying heat-protectant products to minimize damage. This method provides a straight, smooth, silky finish that leaves hair shiny and bouncy without the long-term effects of chemical treatments.
The salon's location at Salon and Spa Galleria South Cooper offers strategic advantages for accessibility and client convenience. Situated near numerous businesses, shopping centers, and major highway interchanges, the location serves Pantego, Dalworthington Gardens, Mansfield, and Kennedale areas with plenty of free parking and handicap accessibility. Salon and Spa Galleria offers salon suites for independent beauty professionals across 23 U.S. locations, and those interested in space rental can visit https://www.salonandspagalleria.com.
Angelic Visions is currently accepting new clients by appointment only, with after-work appointments starting at 6 p.m. and all-day Saturday availability to accommodate working professionals. To celebrate the grand opening, Vaughan is offering new clients $15 off their first service. The salon's opening reflects broader trends in the beauty industry toward specialized, education-focused services that prioritize hair health over traditional chemical treatments, potentially influencing how consumers approach hair maintenance and what they expect from salon professionals.
