Monique – Owner & Stylist
With over 20 years in the beauty industry, Monique is the heart and soul of Maxwell’s Salon and Spa. As a licensed cosmetologist, esthetician, nail tech, and instructor, she brings a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and passion to every service she offers.
Monique specializes in all things hair, but color corrections are her true artistry. Her favorite part of the job? Helping clients feel confident, refreshed, and truly seen—because for Monique, it's not just about the hair, it’s about the connection.
A proud mom of two and a lifelong animal lover, Monique is also a fan of music, horror movies, and all things Halloween. She’s constantly learning, always growing, and deeply values the relationships she’s built with her clients over the years.
Maxwell’s is more than a salon—it’s a legacy. Named after her mother’s salon, Monique continues to honor the traditions, warmth, and excellence passed down to her by the woman who inspired it all.
