Beauty Couture Studio Salon, Midlothian

It’s tempting to say that Beauty Couture Studio Salon’s owner, Amy Ward, is a one-woman show. That wouldn’t do justice to the women she beautifies day in and day out, though. She takes care of her clients’ every need in her private studio, from pouring them a cold beverage to delicately affixing hair or NovaLash extensions. She rouges cheeks and coats nails with long-lasting layers of Gelish polish, sometimes working in glitter or unique floral shapes, animal prints, or tiny portraits of the client’s 10 favorite presidents. She also, of course, performs the traditional tasks of a salon artist, trimming, conditioning, and highlighting hair.
