In this episode of Why We Love Where We Live, we are taking you to Naples, Florida, to a one-of-a-kind boutique salon for girls called Miss Lexi’s Place. It is a salon that offers services for girls to get salon pampering just like their moms! From manicures and pedicures to updos and hair glitter, it is a wonderful place for girls to enjoy the excitement of salon treatments. The idea for the salon was inspired by the owner’s personal experience, as can be read on their website (https://www.misslexisplace.com/):
“My name is Alexia Walulik and 6 years ago I found myself on a journey from Ohio to sunny Naples, FL. Looking for a brighter future for myself and my daughters, it became a goal of mine to move to Naples and establish myself as a business woman and positive member of the community. As a young, single mother with 2 little princesses, I have been no stranger to hard work. As a girl trying to find herself, I struggled with my self-confidence, self-acceptance, and something I think is so important to this day, self-love. So as the creator and face of my business, Miss Lexi’s Place, I will continue to strive to boost the self-confidence and self-expression of young minds. Exploring my creative and social outlets, I built may passion for creativity and beauty and led to the exciting realization I wanted to open a kids spa. With the support of the wonderful families that I have grown so close to, I am so elated I now have the pace to create my own magic and happiness.”
Miss Lexy’s offers individual services, packages, and even hosts parties for groups of girls. We explored the “BFF Package”, which included manicures, pedicures, hairstyles, BFF photo session, create your own lip gloss or scrub, and a runway fashion show. The girls had so much fun at the salon and will hold onto the memories they made for years to come.
