Meet Gym, the friendly furry companion of our very own Andres! Gym loves to accompany him around the studio, bringing a touch of joy and warmth to our space. You might just spot him lounging or playfully exploring while you enjoy your appointment.
If you plan to bring your dog along, please approach with caution and keep them on a lead, as not all dogs get along. Gym can be a bit reserved around male dogs, so to ensure everyone's comfort, we'll put him on a lead if your dog happens to be male. Rest assured, Gym is well-trained and will remain calm and still while on the lead, allowing for a harmonious environment in the studio.
We appreciate your understanding in helping to keep our space welcoming for all. We can’t wait to see you—and perhaps your furry friend—at Maganda Hair Studio!
Mindfulness
Mindfulness enhances mental health and well-being by helping us observe our thoughts without judgment. This awareness allows us to appreciate the present and connect deeply with others through active listening, kindness, and empathy. At Maganda Hair Studio, we prioritize a safe, welcoming environment and meaningful discussions on mental health. Open dialogue helps dismantle stereotypes, strengthen relationships, support recovery, and reduce stigma, fostering a more compassionate society.
